i will not vote for anybody that agrees with immigration, illegal immigration. we need immigration reform, but not illegal. they would cut off all of these were most of these benefits. do not even have to act like they are stupid. they do not have to round them up. cut all of this off and people will go back by themselves. come over here legally. >> he said we need immigration reform, but not illegal immigration. what parts of immigration reform? the thing about illegal immigration is, if they were to go on the back of the line, they will get a fine. all of our flights would be $15. these people are poor to begin with and cannot afford that. most of the stuff with the politicians to make, they say they build the consensus a long time ago when the money was allocated. they could have solved this problem a while ago. maybe a fansy, will be built and maybe it will not. it is a political thing. it, youcomes down to cannot believe any of the politicians will follow through. that concerned, anybody in d.c. involved with this will say nobody is for illegal immigration.

how do we move forward in such a way that immigration reform is not just about immigrant tech visas.it is a much bigger conversation. >> phil mattingly has been cover the upcoming state of union address from d.c. he joins us with more details. you heard what josÉ would like to hear, but what will we hear? >> it is an interesting spot that the president finds himself in. the administration are huge supporters of the large-scale immigration reform. especially the one the senate passed. the house is run by republicans and have not come up with their own immigration proposal. the white house wants to give house speaker john boehner some space. he will absolutely continue to throw the administration's support behind it. it will be interesting watching him walk that tightrope. >> i think i heard a million times the president's approval ratings are the lowest they have been. how big of a deal is what he is going to say tonight? this is the start of negotiating with congress for the year. >> i think that is right. the president's aides have made clear that what the president will do is talk

we are not the only ones that have favored a reduction in bankng immigration -- and -- in immigration. there was the u.s. commission on immigration reform, also known as the jordan commission. it was named after the chairperson of the commission, former congresswoman barbara fromn, a black democrat texas and also a law school professor. under the jordan commission, the issue of immigration reform which studied for a period of about three years, and i had the opportunity of testifying before the jordan commission, and the recommendations of the jordan commission were that we should reduce legal immigration to a 550,000 people a year. that was a significant reduction whenwithin -- from then the level was about 850,000 a year. every declined since then year. they felt that 550,000 a year would be sufficient to take care of business needs for immigration and a continuing and admitting the immediate relatives of u.s. citizens. and thisrecommended, is one of the points my organization also supports, and that is eliminating the category of sponsorship of emigrants by immigrants. in other wor

we have been talking about immigration reform for several years. >> we do need immigration reform because current immigration system is not working. we do need immigration reform. the problem is amnesty. i want to clarify that. there are many people out there who support immigration reform. amnesty is the issue here. and, you know, bill bennett, i believe, talked about a simulation. we need people that, people need to be able to speak english and understand our constitution and our federal government and they need to have, need a job skills to cut. >> many already paying tax and participating in the economy. >> stay here, next the final question for both of our guests. we also want you at home to weigh in today's fireback question. do you think congress will pass immigration reform this year? tweet yes or no using #crossfire. we'll have the results after the break. it says here that a woman's sex drive increases at the age of 80. helps reduce the risk of heart disease. keep heart-healthy. live long. eat the 100% goodness of post shredded wheat. doctors recommend it. >>> we're back. now, i

immigration . effect -- the fact that he has brought in this person to lead this of is a clear signal about his intentions. he really wants to continue pushing forward. you can look at the fact that the house has not passed anything. they have not considered an immigration bill. they have not filed a bill. to think that there is nothing going on there -- they see that hiring and they see that john boehner has spoken about the fact that he wants this to be a priority. he was immigration reform to happen. he put those together and that has caused celebration. at least optimism. speaker, works for the that she has written about how she thinks immigration reform could work. what has she said before? with: it has a lot to do bill is007 immigration an indication. she was working for john mccain. a lot of those components ever similar to what the senate passed last year. security issues was far beyond what they would've gone with. of allowing for these undocumented immigrants to go through this rigorous p

myself and other immigration attorneys and students in the immigration clinic help individuals in immigration courts defend against removal by saying that they are eligible for certain relief, either by nature of their tie to the country or a hardship they might face upon removal to their home country. host: this all starts with getting a notice that they will appear in court, someone who is found guilty of breaking the law -- guest: it can happen in a number of ways. the most common way is interaction with the criminal justice system. this is where it gets constipated. we have two legal systems itking simultaneously at -- gets complicated. we have two legal systems working simultaneously. anybody who commits a crime, driving without a license to something more serious, that individual has an interaction with the criminal justice system . at the end or in the middle of that legal process, immigration officials are aware that the individuals is here without permission, and then the individual gets in contact with the immigration enforcement system. so we have the criminal justice system, and i

immigration is a huge political issue, one which is led out of fear that immigrants are going to comed take jobs, take not one thats, and looks at the contributions that immigrants make to south africa's economy. ofshe is a good example someone making a contribution. we meet up again at midday in front of his restaurant, a trendy district in johannesburg's center. a street hawker and now runs his own business. he employed south africans as well as other immigrants. he says many immigrants are more .usiness savvy than the locals backgrounde that [inaudible] say [inaudible] >> it's only a short distance from his restaurant to the migrant slums, the differences are huge. says it takes courage to start your own business up here. >> at that time you have been , i'm notof coming here talking about opening a business here, you know? more positives change in the country than negative change. that is why i say we don't have a choice. it's a fact. >> he has seen his dreams come true. a7guc

i think you could have done a lot better on immigration.hink the president started and used the framework of this is a year of action, whether or not congress acts, i can and will do more. manynk he recognized struggles, but did not really recognize the pain his deportation policies continue to cause in our community. we are about to hit julian deportations. there could've been a greater acknowledgment of the pain and reality in america that is a result of inaction in congress but also for president that has chosen to lead with deportation first policies. we think you could have done more. -- we think he could have done more. jeremy scahill? >> the state of the union address historically is sort of propaganda. i think there was on the issue of foreign policy, irrevocable is connect between what the president was probably projecting and what his policies amount to on the ground. it was significant. i believe obama is the first president history to use the word drone during the state of the union speech. he said he has restricted the use of d

say about immigration and wages? so it's against this difficult economic back drop that our reformers want to massively increase the number of work visas, doubling them, by increasing the flow of migrants and legalizing those in the country without documents. basically, we would increase the current flow of legal immigrants to america from 10 million over ten years to 30 million that would get permanent resident status in the united states over a ten-year period. each of that -- of those 30 million would be available to compete for any job on the marketplace. and having come from poor countries, many of them are glad to take a job for even the most minimal of wages. and that's understandable. we respect that. i'm not criticizing them. i'm talking about the policy of the united states congress and the president of the united states. c.b.o. found in an increase of this kind, if the bill that passed the senate had become law, would do a number of things. one, it would depress wages among low- and high-skilled native-bor

one exception is immigration reform. the immigrant profile is not exactly uniform. they go to some places and not to heirs. and we have the handful of cities that have not attracted immigrants lately. is this a big part of pittsburgh future. >> it's what built the city to begin with. my own grandfather came to pittsburgh to be able to use his back and arms to work at columbia steel for 38 years working the night shift. that's how pittsburgh was built. the immigrants of today are coming to use their minds. our pan asian immigrants are the highly educated and highest salary. we've lost on lower skill workers but we've attracted scientists, engineers, doctors coming to our universities, medical centers and staying. we need to do a better job of tracting more. if i had a magic wand and i could pass one thing in congress i would pass rather than early childhood initiatives would be the visa staple to every diploma. instead of training these young people at our universities and having them go back to their own countries, they would stay here and start their careers in the

more than about immigration. there's i think this myth here in washington that this is a latino issue that only latinos care about, that will solve problems for republicans if they check some box on immigration. and neither of those things are true. even republican voters, a majority of them say they support a path to citizenship with a variety of requirements. >> if they pass that, hasn't that eliminated one of the talking points in your compare? >> then we're back to obama, care, of course. >> actually we have a lot of things we can talk about, including the economy. i was happy to see two special gists at the mayor's swearing-in. next what bill and hillary clinton already know and would it should make democrats very, very happy. when we get back. and it feels like your lifeate revolves around your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira adalimumab. humira has been proven to work for adults who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in cl

we talked about immigration. i think there is a 40% chance of major immigration bill.n issues like early childhood education, he and paul ryan absolutely could cut a deal sometime this year. it is not huge to stuff but i think you could have a much more productive -- >> what is the deal on immigration? because i have not brought that up yet. in terms of both the citizenship and legal status. >> you have to have legalization to start with. you can get citizenship for the dreamers, the kids and the , democrats are only going to buy off if you change it so you get citizenship for a large number of those people. it gets complicated but you're not going to -- >> where is the common ground? >> john boehner's trying to get a common ground. he has hired john mccain's immigration person, and he is really trying to force his caucus, which is not an easy thing to do to pass an , immigration bill, which they could go to the congress with eventually. >> in the week or so they have keys to this out, there has been ferocious reaction from some strategists who say this is a horrible t

they are immigrants some legal, some illegal. communal prayer gives them feeling of security and helps them deal with living a foreign country. over six million people have my fwrated to south africa in the ast two decades. the late nelson mandela once spoke of south africa as a rainbow nation. is that still true if i'm here to find out the answer to that question and the fastest way to do it is to take a taxi. many taxi drivers are immigrants and the first taxi i called is driven by one. what kind of flag is that? >> zimbabwe flag. when i came here, things are not as good as it is now. , rything was to the right just looking for greener pastures. >> he blauth his family here a long time ago. he says he feels comfortable living in south africa but in recent years, he mood has turned sharnly against -- sharply against immigrants. >> a lot of people standing in the middle of the road with iron bars and rocks and swords. they tried to flag me down just to pull me over. and i just try to drive and get away from them but they throw ro

immigration currently is broken.and the challenge, and giveaways of what we can look at immigration but the system itself today is broken. interesting that the most people don't pay close attention to is, 42% of everyone that is here illegally came here legally. became one of these and overstate. nobody has any checks in it, right? in today's society we don't have that. we have a system that is a lack of a lottery and a chain migration. we have an idea where you come your, you become an engineer, one of the best and brightest come out of our universities and then we tell you, no, no, no. you can't stay here. you need to go to another country and compete against us. that's a backwards thought. there's a lot of places there, first and foremost what members i'll tell you read on both sides of the aisle, if you're digging yourself in a hole the first thing is to stop digging. they don't secure the border, you just put -- are just going to perpetuate the problem. a lot of the things that were asked for in the 86 immigrati

reform, and how to deal with unauthorized immigrants. the question has to be asked, how real is this, though? >> that's right. the devil's in the details here. remember, richard, this is a one-page document on something that could take hundreds and hundreds of pages to implement. we have to see what the legislation actually looks like. there are going to be a lot of sticking points that they have not resolved. you mention one of the top dealing with what to do with the people here illegally. even after these folks are legalized, will they be able to apply for green cards and citizenship? that is not clear. there is a very, very tenuous coalition over labor on how to deal with guest workers that are brought here to the country. how do they structure that program, can they keep that coalition together? there are a lot of unanswered questions here and a one-page document is not going to be enough to get it through congress. we need meat on the bone. >> we'll see what the meet looks like. maria teresa, what we've seen so far, from what you'v

i want to thank all of the immigrants and as a former undocumented immigrant myself, i'm especially proud to see the young people who came out to testify about their own experiences. it's not easy to do that and so i'm very proud of you and appreciate your courage. and i say -- [inaudible]. i was reading online that it is reported by the white house that president obama is supposed to make an impassionate speech about immigration reform and i'm very grateful to that and as someone who has admired and respected the president, i'm grateful to see that, but we need more than just an impassional speech. we need action. that impassionate speech without any action is simply not going to cut it and it pains me to say this, but when it comes to deportations, barack obama has a worse record than george w bush and the idea that so many of us fought so hard to get him to where he is and that we would face that reality is shameful and i really hope by taking this /po position that san francisco, los angeles and these other cities make it clear that what's happening right now is simply unacceptable. t

let's listen to boehner and the president on prospects for immigration. >> is immigration reform dead? absolutely not. i've made clear going back to the day after the last election in 2012 that it was time for congress to deal with this issue and the only way to make sure immigration reform works this time is to address these comply camed issues one step at the same time. >> i think 2004. needs to be a year of arks. i think immigration potentially falls in that category. here's an area where we have bipartisan agreement there are a few differences here and there but the truth of the matter is that the senate bill has the main components of comprehensive immigration reform that would boost our economy -- john: jeff, expense rive action on immigration? >> i think the chances for comprehensive action on immigration are very, very small to not going to happen. what speaker boehner was saying is he thinks it needs be a step by step approach and the white house would be satisfied with that. what does that mean? it probably means that the path to citizenship is not included in i was talking

they have not stopped the flow of undocumented immigrants. last year there were an estimated 11.7 million people living in the u.s. illegally, just 15% of those deported were convicted of any type of crime. meanwhile, issues of their own, they say they are being targeted by immigration authorities as home. in in different places including their front yards, grocery stores, even at bible study classes. >> it's a new effort by immigration and customs enforcement called the criminal alien removal initiative, which is aimed at apprehending violent criminals who are at risk to public safety. but some compare it to new york's highly controversy stop and frisk policy. they say this approach is arbitrary, and nothing short of racial profiling. they claim some latinos have been stopped, handcuffed, fingerprinted and detained for months for similar glitches on their record. like immigration paperwork problems. and are far from violent criminals. people don't know if they are go to the grocery store, bible study, we have been calls that there are weekly

and there wasn't immigration reform. immigration is down, too.ke a serious look at what kind of immigration we want. >> meanwhile, this is what's going to be talked about in washington. at least at the beginning of the year. one of the points that you were making earlier, and i want to get into that, despite all this talk about immigration, health care insurance, one of the things that we're just seeing just this weekend, al qaeda taking over two major cities in iraq, a year after the president pulled out all of the troops. >> yeah. and a few months after he didn't intervene in syria and backed off in syria. it turns out, 150,000 people are getting killed in syria and al qaeda taking over opposition there has effects across the border in iraq. i do think, people don't want to talk about foreign policies for various reasons on both sides. i think foreign policy will be a big issue. >> cokie, ronald reagan back in 1986, it was his salvation coming out of iran contra. presidents tend to have more room to maneuver. as bill points out a lot of real cr

billdent reagan did sign a that did give immigrants, illegal immigrants this notion of an mistake. he was an icon of the conservative movement and he did that. house republicans are now talking about finding a pathway to legal residency as opposed to citizenship, which is the sacred prize of american life. this is something that they will unveil very soon. something the president will want to see what is in the proposal. host: anything tonight that would constitute a surprise for you? guest: if there is some big initiative it would be a surprise. the white house has been dotting back on expect haitians. dialing back on expectations. i was surprised at how much he had backed off from these grand ideas of hope and change. he talked in terms of every president is part of a long-running story. you just hope you get your paragraph right. he was writing a book and now he's down to a paragraph. neither this is a tremendous head fake and they want to lower expectations so people will be more surprised if he does come up with a series of initiatives. the white house has been discouraging th

talk about what you heard when the president talked about immigration reform. >> again, we had immigration laws on the books, but this administration is not enforcing it. why is he talking about more immigration laws when he could be enforcing the laws that he had. how about let's secure the border because you can't do anything on immigration when you secure the boarder. i did a panel this past summer in new york with people across the aisle on the issue and the number one thing we agreed on was securing the border. i don't know why they have a problem with that. >> the president will be headed on the road to talk about these issues. good to see you and have you on the program. thanks very much. >> good to see you. thanks for having me. >> we continue our coverage with tony harris, back in new york. >> appreciate it. what we'll do is bring in joe watkins, a former aide to george h.w. bush. great to see you. i thought you had left. >> no, i'm still here. >> it's great that you are still with us. let's get your reaction to the president's speech and your response, your rehabilitation it the

immigration reform, comprehensive immigration reform. why haven't we achieved that so far? angela?e have a congress that has some of the lowest approval ratings historically. they can't get on the same page. i think a lot of them are playing politics instead of policy. i'm hopeful and optimistic that since the senate passed a bill, the house will follow suit. unveiling principles for immigration reform, that is not legislation. boehner is talking about unveiling principles. what they need to do is pass legislation and go to conference. >> mark, we heard angela referring to house speaker john boehner. as you know, republicans in the house are actually talking about doing something to implement some sort of immigration reform, but as angela is talking about, is it talk or will they get beyond principles and do something for once? >> we hope they will walk the walk. this has been an area of agreement for a long period of time. conservatives like john mccain, george w. bush, all supported different types of immigration reform. everybody acknowledges that this is a serious problem, a mo

it was bad because there were eleven of us and immigration found us and took five there were only six of us left. we ran and in the end i couldn't get through because i broke a shoe. and i had to walk barefoot for around eight hours. i only had six hours to go to get to the wall and i turned back because i couldn't walk anymore. when they got us my feet were completely gone the soles were cut to bits and my feet were covered in sores because i'd walk fifteen hours in the desert. mean i looked three days to get to. six months pregnant. i had only one night to go when he abandoned me in the middle of the desert where you're alone i was with my friend and my cousin when you handed over to immigration yes we went to look for the immigration service because you did the right thing we didn't have any more what your are food and i was becoming the head to rate it i was losing my baby. my dream was to go to the u.s. and work to build for myself at least two rooms but i never managed it. and you say you want to try again. the do you have the yeah i have to find them because you paid the mafia

eats going to hit immigration reform, come out and vote for me and i'll get you one more time the immigration reform i promise, i promise. hit the minimum wage with the same effect. >> and you know, as unpopular as president obama is right now, congress is even less popular. saying, look, i could not change the way washington worked, which is what he intended to do, i can work around washington and he believes in the folks at the white house believe that the american public will be on their side because congress is so -- >> don't you think -- do you really think his mess able right now is for the base? >> sure. >> you don't think he's trying to squeeze a couple things out of this congress? isn't that the intention, though? he's got to figure out a way -- >> presidential state of the unions do not squeeze things out of congress. >> i think they are things they can do. >> i doubt it. i think he is going to continue to have problems with congress. it's an issue that the president is using to try to get -- >> hold on. >> he can get a little piece of it here and there. >> a little piece is not goo

talking immigration reform. that a number of people concerned that deportation was not mentioned let alone comprehensive immigration reform and the laundry list of other issues that seem to be lost in that vacuum of washington, d.c. it is not lost that the person interviewing him has been a regular critic of the president, bill o'reilly. >> this will be the first time bill o'reilly has interviewed the president on the super bowl and elsewhere. while it has been sometimes a little bit of a testy interview, i think both guys have handled themselves pretty well in the past. it will be interesting to see. you mentioned the state of the union address has a long litany of things. yes, the president mentioned immigration. but you only can give a few sentences or a paragraph to something like that. the big takeaway is the president is trying to say i have energy behind myself, trying to get some of these things done, all in an effort to boost his approval ratings. >> with the largest tv audience watching, larger than th

not citizenship for 11 million adult immigrants in the u.s.llegally. it's controversial inside and outside the g.o.p. john boehner outlined principals for rewriting immigration laws at the house annual policy retreat. >> the policy has been around 15 years, it's turned into a political football. it's unfair. i think it's time to deal with it. how is important. >> some republicans say they cannot support a path to citizenship to those that broke the law. >> it's a mistake if house republicans supported amnesty for those here illegally. >> for more on a push for immigration reform we are joined by the executive director of immigration studies. let's look at what the congressman had to say. >> we are looking at ideas based on the principals, which says we want is a system where you can come out of the shadows, and you can be on probation and satisfy the terms of probation while the border is getting secured, if those things are met, you satisfy terms of probation. you learn english, and the border is secured and interior enforcement, then you can
