he quit being a senator to run the heritage foundation. once he was there he decided the heritage foundation should write a big comprehensive study on why immigration reform is a terrible idea. he hired a guy whose doctoral dissertation had been about the intellectual inferiority of immigrants in the united states. imgrants do not have the same level of cognitive ability as native born americans. "no one knows whether hispanics will ever reach i.q. parity with whites but the prediction that new hispanic immigrants will have low i.g. children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against." by 2010 that same guy was posting on white nationalist websites like "alternative right" which is a full-on white power, white supremacist website posting there saying "hispanics are substantially more likely than whites to commit serious crimes." "these findings are not due to age differences or immigration violations or other statistical artifacts." he called it simply the reality of hispanic crime. this guy's entire background, his whole record of pu

according to the heritage foundation once the amnesty recipits reach retirement age the annual net costxpayers will reach $160 billion per year now, if those numbers are t was thehis is not a great idea congressional budget office that initially pjected obamacare would cost 900 billion over ten years. now as they revise a further they double their estimate. these are very early estimates. i think even the congression budget office would agree. and then there is the little matter of loopholes dollars a big deal in washington. the word whenever appears in the gang of a legislation 94 times. given the power to grant waive . a national security secretary, already declared the borders more secure than ever. crossing our borders. and what powers doese have? well, among other things you will be able to make the construction of a border security fence if she does not find it to be inappropriate use of resources. the senator says he sees trouble if immigration legislation does not pass. maybe he should be thinking about the trouble for this country if it does in its current form. up next, the fl

in washington, genevieve wood, vice president of the heritage foundation.s digital politics editor chris stirewalt. chris, let's begin with you. your reaction? >> well, there was not much new that was in the speech. there was some gift to the republicans, thanking republicans willing to consider immigration but it was mostly attack in that area. and what it was, i think, was a frustrated president. you heard a lot of produce station from the president that his vision, his economic vision hasn't been brought to bear. that obama-nomics has not been embraced in a broader sense and he's frustrated with republicans. frustrated with washington. that they're not interested in higher taxes on top earners and more domestic spending. lou: does this, doug, play to his base? is this cathartic in some way? in terms of economic policy, in terms of social policy as advertised about this administration that there was nothing new here? >> that is exactly right. let's be very clear. this was the beginning of campaign 2014, no more, no less. he set up the contrast for what th

here to weigh in, the heritage foundation. welcome back to the show. why is this happening?temporary employment is something that fluctuates. employers are very willing to lay off temp -- temporary employees. and so between 2007 and 2009 temporary employment dropped by one-third. since then a very sharp drop and very sharp recovery. temporary employment is now back up to levels that it was. gerri: use a cyclical. i see it as a major problem in the economy. the jump in temporary jobs, up 50%. a total of two and a half million people, temporary workers. 17 million americans. my view when you tell me what you think that this economy just is not producing the kinds of jobs that this country needs. >> that figure, you included a lot of self incorporated or self-employed. architects, dentists. gerri: the introduction of temporary workers among lawyers, among doctors. these are professions n where people are really just part-time workers. you know what that means as well as i do. you don't get the benefits. you are not participating in their retirement. maybe you're not getting any

with me now, david carson from the heritage foundation.is always a pleasure have you, and i have to tell you, i was looking at the staff in this industry. think it must be one of the most poorly organized monopolies ever because in the last quarter supply of equipment exceeded demand by 30%. so theee was a ton of stuff lying around was not being used. where did they get antitrust from here? you know, i have no idea. your knows what is driving the justice department on this. but we can look at the obama administration and s that they really have not done anything to promote the energy revolution that hydraulic fracturing has brought on. in fact mccoy the opposite. the texas oil production has doubled in t past three and a half years because of the hydraulic fracturing. almost all of the hydraulic fracturing is done on on federal land. so usually you bring an antitrust case when you want to lower prices, make the customers get more. they have not done anything else toward this industry to help the customers or to promote addition production.

with us now, an expert at the conservative heritage foundation. senior fellow, you are with us. reporting on foxbusiness.com. you are here, it is an interesting background yourself, you were a goldman sachs guy, not just prounion, before going to goldman sachs you are involved in helping detroit out of the last rush in bankruptcy? in 1990? >> that is right. goldman sachs was hired to sell major assets. i headed the team that did that. dennis: did the city try to make any pension cuts back in 1990? >> not at that time. the skill the problem was much smaller. the gap was $55 million at that time. dennis: now we are talking nearly half of the total liabilities. do you think the city has the right in bankruptcy court proceedings to go ahead and start cutting benefits to current and future retirees? >> i practiced law for a while but that was a long time ago. i think there is a very legitimate chance the court will actually rule the constitution protects the pension benefits. i think the number is that you mentioned by the way is subject to a great deal of dispute. dennis: tell us, i
