and through this expedited immigration court process, we would help ensure that children and family units with claims for immigration relief in the united states are able to receive their day in court rather than waiting in a multi-year backlog. this legislation is not a solution for all of our problems at the border far be it, but it would make real improvements to deter illegal immigration while ensuring the humane treatment of children and family members who have entered the country in violation of our laws. i'd ask our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to take a hard look at this bill and to work together to find a reasonable solution for this component of the crisis at our border. madame president, i yield the floor. >> madame president? >> senator from vermont. >> before i go to the substance of my remarks, let me just say what i think is on the minds of millions of americans today, whether they're progressives or conservatives, democrats or republicans or independents, and that the united states of america is not and must never be about locking up little children in cages on th

immigration. tend to be entrepreneurial. it is something you can see in small towns and cities around the united states. a lot of businesses have immigrant names, names and other languages. immigrants come with a desire to do something risky. do something new and pulled himself up either bootstraps. it is what made this country early on, it is what made this reconstruction, african-americans have the ability to create businesses. it happened with italian and irish immigrants. it is something about the immigrant experience that is incredible for building the country. this is a great symbol of how mexicans have done this. most don't have business is quite a big but they tend to be huge contributors in creating small and medium-size businesses. . >> let's get to your phone calls. caller: good morning, and thank you for c-span. >> could happen that we don't build on the border? >> there is a lot of conversation going on between the u.s. and mexico. most americans don't realize that about half of the central americans who tried to come to the border get detained and deported by mexico. it is about 42% over th

initiative in the arguments over migration in the united states with a meeting at the white house for families whose relatives were murdered by undocumented immigrantsenezuelan security forces are carrying out hundreds of extra—judicial killings under the pretext of fighting crime. the aerospace giant airbus says it will reconsider its future investment in the uk, if britain leaves the eu single market and customs union without a deal. airbus employs more than 14,000 people contributing over $9 billion to the british economy every year. another major manufacturer in the uk, bmw, has said that uncertainty could damage the uk's car industry. our business editor simonjack reports. on a mission to air its fears over brexit, the boss of airbus in the uk issued a stark warning over the consequences of any interruption to their supply chains. we're very fearful there will be chaos at the borders, and we want our factories to be able to operate as smoothly as possible. some politicians will say, "we've heard this all before, this is scaremongering, this is a reboot of project fear." this isjust a businessperson sitting here today explaining the risks we've

the crisis over immigration rules in the united states looks no closer to being resolved.epublicans in the us congress have delayed a vote on new laws until next week. and it's not clear when families separated after arriving illegally will be reunited — despite president trump's u—turn on the issue. and earlier today, mr trump sent a tweet claiming that the democrats were "just playing games" with the issue of immigration, and that republicans should "stop wasting their time" on it until after the mid—terms later this year. anthony zurcher gave me this update earlierfrom anthony zurcher gave me this update earlier from washington. the latest was that there was originally supposed to be a vote on two different pieces of legislation yesterday. one that was a more hardline version of a bill in the house of representatives, the other one which was a compromise between various factions of the republican party. the hard line went down by about 30 votes yesterday and they delayed the vote on the comp i version mental next week because all democrats were opposing it and republica

more controversy over immigration in the united states — president trump has called for illegal immigrantsh no judges or court cases". the president tweeted that the current system was "a mockery to good immigration policy and law and order" saying it is "unfair to those who have gone through the system legally". chris buckler is in washington for us. is this just is thisjust a is this just a tweet or a policy announcement? you can never be sure where he draws that line. between a treat and saying he will do something further. certainly it is a reaction to some of the comments that have been given to the administration over the last week as they have struggled to deal with this issue of families being separated at the border. donald trump had to back down on that and had to put in place a new policy which he said would not in future see children separated from their families, but to do that so went against some of his battered dip in states from his point of view. as a result, we are now seeing a backlash from that. president trump policing the streets, and it is pretty harsh language when

united states and china. the treaty promised that chinese could immigrate to the united states on the same basis as all other foreigners. ironically, the treaty was signed by secretary william seward on july 28 1868. the same day he signed a proclamation that the 14th amendment have become part of the constitution. the burlingame treaty contained an exception to the general equal treatment rule for naturalization. the chinese did not have the privilege of naturalization under the treaty because they did not have the privilege of naturalization under the naturalization act of 1790. contradiction that they were adopting the 14th amendment, were adopting that is going to tory statute indicates that the amendment rested on some principle other than that racial discrimination is wrong. debated theo naturalization act in 1870 by virtue of the 14th amendment. african-americans born in this country were citizens. of the naturalization act of 1790, african immigrants could not naturalize. what was to be done? -- proposal was justor charles sumner proposed to take the word white out of the naturalization laws everywhe

bill not only has those kinds of provisions but will cut the existing channels for legal immigration to the united states families will be less able to bring their loved ones in here to reunify under legal immigration system visas and they will also cut something called the diversity visa lottery which enables people from countries that traditionally have not been able to come to the united states such as from africa make it much more difficult for them to come to this country in addition massive amounts of funding for the border wall on the order of twenty five billion dollars so this bill has completely been perverted into a white house in force an exclusion measure one last point. it's obviously a hugely divisive issue immigration in the united states president trying from south is hugely divisive in the united states and beyond but how much condemnation they have you seen especially for people who would usually support the president to this issue to the separating children from their parents. well what is notable as you mention is that now we see more faith christian evangelical leaders now co

building america's largest gig-speed network. . >>> more now on the breaking news, the immigration showdown here in the unitedtes, to discuss the president's stunning reversal on family separations at the border to the immigration votes and the house of representatives that are underway. i want to bring in hawaii senator mazie horono. she serves on the house and judiciary committees. let me get your quick reaction to the president's executive order to keep detained families together. what do you think? >> well, first let me say that the president's apparent hatred of immigrants causes him to make ally bad deons,h a the muslim ban that led to chaos at the airports, lawsuits, and now his zero tolerance policy for border crossers. so yesterday's executive order simply will keep the children together with their parents, but they will still be in detention, apparently, detention facilities which you don't have for indeterminate periods of time. f not to mention the traumatized 2300 children who have already been separated from their parents. his executive order made no reference to it, and from what i'm told, home

chicago, the journalists will talk about the path that he and three friends took after they immigrated to the united states in the late '80s. on tuesday, will be outside chicago for a columnist on the changing state of advertising and marketing in the digital age. also look for us at the king's english books shop in salt lake city. the history of the pony express. friday were in new orleans to hear robert recount the deaths of 32 people due to an arson at the upstairs launch, a gay bar in the city's french quarter in 1973. many of the events are open to the public. look for them to aaron the new future on but tv is into. >> good evening everybody. can you hear me in the back?

president trump today staunchly defended his administration's immigration policy. >> the united statesnot be a migrant camp, and it will not be a refugee holding facility. it won't be. >> reporter: at a conference today for the national sheriffs association, dhs secretary kirstjen nielsen offered no apologies. >> to a select few in the media, congress, and the advocacy community i'd like to start with a message for you. this department will no longer stand by and watch you attack law enforcement for enforcing the laws passed by congress. >> reporter: she doubled down at the white house press briefing today. >> we have some of the highest detention standards in the country. claiming these children and their parents are treated inhumanely is not true. >> have you seen the photos of children in cages? have you heard the audio clip of these children wailing that just came out today? >> i have -- i have not seen something that came out today. but i have been to detention centers. and again, i would reference you to our standards. i would reference you to the care provided, not just by the d

that democrats are responsible for the problems at the border and describing the influx of immigrants into the united states as an infestation of immigrants. describing them as if it were a pest problem in someone's home. all this seems to imply the white house is not backing down from this issue. at the same time republicans on the hill are trying to find a way out. they're looking at bills that would potentially rectify situation. president trump is going to meet with house republicans later today. we'll find out more then about whether or not he's willing to get on board with some of these proposals. >> day who knows what now and they're still not clear whether it's policy or not. it's amazing. thank you abby. despite the backlash from the left right and center there's this side. would you consider these detention centers summer camp. >> since more illegal immigrants are rushing the border more kids are being separated from their parents and temporarily housed in what are essentially summer camps. >> let's hear from people living through this now. nick, you're there. i'm very short this is far sho

immigrants? >> of course. and we have elementary law -- let's treat fellow citizens the way we want to be treated. want the unitedtates to treat our immigrants with dignity. we demand -- for example, haitians are asking asylum and being refused. mexican law is very rigid in this area. we need cooperation with central america, with those countries that have sent these people, we also need to have the right legislation. we hope that our neighbors also have one we are talking about refugees and immigrants. >> would you like to add to that? >> if we improve our legislation and our procedures, we can provide better services. >> a lot of that immigration is associated also with -- it is linked to human trafficking, money laundering, and other criminal enterprises. that is why we have to strike the right balance between immigrants who come here with are notess, who committing any crimes and those who are encouraging criminal activities, and many of them are victims. we have to look at these areas separately. >> candidate lopez obrador. >> i reiterate that we need to have a cooperation for development. we have a broad en

as a result of these loopholes, roughly half a million illegal immigrant family units and miners from central america -- minor from central america have been released into the united states since 2014 at unbelievably great taxpayer expense. nobody knows how much we're paying for this monstrosity that's been created over the years. legislation that nobody has any idea what they're doing. they don't even know what it means. and you have to see this. it's a mile high. child smugglers exploit the loopholes and they gain illegal entry into the united states, putting countless children in danger on the perilous trek to the united states. they come up through mexico, mexico does nothing for us. you hear it here, they do nothing for us. they could stop it. they have very, very strong laws. try staying in mexico for a couple of days, see how long that lasts. [laughter] ok? [applause] they do nothing for us and i see it through nafta. i see with $100 billion-plus that they make on trade through nafta. one of the worst deals ever made by this country. dafter. and we're trying to equalize it and

the national immigration institute and this -- we know that our neighbors to the north, the united states, would like is to us continue to do their dirty work and detain the central american immigrants on our border who are looking for better living standards north of us. who are people who are fleeing because of extreme poverty and also violence. so the government of mexico, the next democratic government of mexico, has decided that that institution, the national immigration institute, will be located near tijuana. >> candidate calderon. >> so, the transit and movement that we're talking about earlier can be contained but without any act of violence. we have to respect the people's dignity. today we have no longer borders. people can do many things and we need to work on this relationship, not only with the governments but with individuals. southeastern part of the country, for example, we see people going to leon, tijuana, sonar a, we can key taken in the southeastern part of the country all the people by giving them jobs, improving infrastructure and improving opportunities but because

the united states is an immigrant country.t seems that a lot of people that came here came from another country. that is what makes america great, you know? so many languages, so many cultures. i feel very proud about that. you: oswaldo, where did first live when you came to the united states and what did your parents do, and what do you do? caller: i went to miami, but i don't like it, you know? came from an island that is a beautiful island, so i moved to puerto rico, spent most of my life and puerto rico. tampa --go, i moved to 10 years ago, i moved to tampa because life and puerto rico was getting very hard. i became a united eights citizen, i did my studies in the united states and high school in puerto rico, and now i have been living in the united states for 11 years. but it is a great country. have happened in this administration, i really do not like it. i see a lot of people that came , you know, south america, central america, and they have a lot of problems. legal to geto be into the united states, but if money or

bass: well, let me just tell you that immigration to the united states is way down, and his policy didot exist a couple of months ago. our borders were not overrun with tens of thousands of pele trying to come over. what the president has consistently stoke the fears of people in the unitedrttates, and unately, he has consistently used racism,ir whether it wasted against immigrants or directed against irican-americans, he does that every few weeks, ahink he does it as i do version so we will stop thinking about the rush investigation boards -- russia investigationr some of the other egregious things he is doing to dismantle civil rights and other safety-net protections we have had in this country for generations. rajini: good to have you with us. rep. bass: thank you very much. rajini: now for a perspective from the other side of the political, aisshort time ago my colleagues katty kay and christian fraser spoke to a republican congressman francis rooney for their program "beyond 100 days." looks, congressman, like your party has not been able to come up with some kind of compromise on

unfort change hands for trueo comprehensive immigration reform to pass in the united states.ajini: and yeteplicans including the president are blaming the democratic party -- rew, bass: i kut do understand that this crisis at the borderil with the en was started by the president. he started the crisis, and that he signed an executi order ending the crisis that he started. it would be like if i went out and started a fire and then called the fire department and expected to receive a prize because i helped put out the fire. it makes no sense to do policy in this matter. the executive der that he signed yesterday, i guess he did not even consult his staff, because he does not address the problem. he says he wants to keep children tell you something that really disturbs me. there is no mechanism in place right t noway to reunite the 2000 children with their parents. i believe thathe some of children will never see their parents again. i think that is egregious, i think it is a human rights abuse. rajini: just briefly, the president is saying today that if we took zero-tolerance a

the tensions and despite a public outcry the white house has defended its tough stance on immigration. the united states will not be a migrant camp. and it will not be a refugee holding facility won't be this is ministration did not create a policy of separating families at the border we have a statutory responsibility that we take seriously to protect children from human smuggling trafficking and other criminal actions while in forcing our immigration laws we will separate those who claim to be a parent and child if we cannot determine a familiar relationship exist parents who entered illegally are by definition criminals illegal entry is a crime as determined by congress by entering their country illegally often in dangerous circumstances egal immigrants have put their children at risk and the lower on separating children from parents charged with immigration offenses was actually in place during obama's tenure at once and for some it was much rarer back than my colleague reaction from both sides of the argument first of all it's not true that all these people who were arrested for just crossin

though i'm a 35th generation new mexican on my grandparents' side, my dad's grandparents immigrated to the united states in 1881 from norway. i realize firsthand how important immigration is to the betterment of our country. immigrants help to build our country as it is today. and i think that the best we can do is to be a welcoming society. and that's exactly how my laguna grandmother was. she welcomed people into our village, into her home. and we need to do that. we need to have good relations with our community in order to be successful. >> let me ask you then about some of the issues president trump raises. he talks about crime. he talks about security on the border. you are from new mexico. you are hoping to become a congresswoman. new mexico is a border state. he is basically saying democrats are weak on immigration and they want open borders. the last few times the issue came to a vote, democrats voted overwhelmingly for enhanced border security. what is your view on border security? do you think there are legitimate concerns about that? >> there's a difference between protecting our bord

is nothing in sync -- inconsistent in the legislator passion -- -- almost all eliminating immigration to the united states due to racial incompatibility. put those measures, the 14th and restriction of asian immigration, were efforts to solve problems. that was the principal. to paraphrase hippie, we have to do something with african-americans because they are here, but, why do we want to invite more of this kind of trouble to our country? when did this change? matter, race would be eliminated from immigration policy and naturalization policy with the immigration and naturalization acts of thy kisses you five, which i argue, was the third -- 1965, which i was as effective as the one in 1965. then ideological matter, answer is, i am not sure that things have changed. maybe we are dealing with them issue now. white nationalists, such as that the 1965 immigration act and the changes that are brought, was contrary to the vision of the framers as reflected in the naturalization act. another white nationalists, argues that the 1965 act which has changed the demographic makeup of the united states, dramat

one of the reasons these immigrants are coming to the united states is because they're fleeing violence and poverty in their own countries. mike pence is meeting with the leader of the guatemala later today. this is one of the countries sending some of these immigrants and the president using language like this calling it an infestation of immigrants to describe the problem at the southern border, poppy. >> homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen who is the face of this has been taking those questions last night. what happened? >> reporter: she was having a dinner, according to her office, a work dinner at the mexican restaurant, mxdc in downtown washington when she was confronted by protesters from a local group here in washington chanting and really driving her out of the restaurant. her spokesman issued a statement saying that she hopes that these protesters will pressure lawmakers to act on family separations but it just goes to show that tensions are really high here. when president trump was on the hill yesterday, he also faced protests from congressional hispanic caucus memb

will get the wall done he's looking for the funding for that to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the united states he's also looking at his head and past press congress is looking for merit based immigration so there is a lot to discuss there are a lot of differences when it comes to what the immigration reform package should look like it's not one that will be resolved very quickly you have to remember it's congress that makes the laws it is the executive branch or the white house that enforces them so the president's done what he can do in the small piece but the larger broader legislative package is going to take some time to work out it's been something that is really the congress has been stumbling on trying to come together on for almost twenty years to really help you with the latest from the white house can believe thank you. and as we were mentioning more than two thousand children are. detained in at least three shelters across southern texas in the us while their parents await prosecution in federal jails for one holding facility is in brownsville right on the mexico border and a

here in the united states while our two main political parties the democrats republicans rant and rage at each other over important political and cultural issues like immigration reform gun control u.s. president donald trump there is one issue that cuts through these epic times of partisanship an ideologue ideological divides in congress like no other one beautiful sanguine topic that unites our congress men and women alike i'm talking of course about the department of defense. yes well families are being torn apart at the border. and many citizens are being choked by poverty to puerto pay for any kind of proper medical care our elected leaders in the u.s. senate just voted to hand the pentagon a hefty seven hundred sixteen billion dollars fittingly titled the john s. mccain national defense authorization act of twenty nineteen after the ailing arizona senator who never met an interventionist war he didn't like the bill boosts military spending by over eighty billion and authorizes another twenty one point six billion for nucular weapons programs because you know that's just what we need here in the united states is even more nuclear weapons the senate floor

facilities despite a public outcry the white house has defended its tough stance on illegal immigration the united states will not be a migrant camp. and it will not be a refugee holding facility won't be this is ministration did not create a policy of separating families at the border we have a statutory responsibility that we take seriously to protect alien children from human smuggling trafficking and other criminal actions. actually similar cases where migrant children were separated from their parents during president obama's tenure however those are much rarer and some claim didn't constitute a systematic policy as opposed to the one currently in place earlier had reaction from both sides of the argument. it's not true better all these people are arrested for just crossing the border they're arrested for illegally crossing the border they are appointed venturing where they could come in seek political asylum but these people if in fact they are families.

harsh line on immigration is there to curb crime i mean how much crime are illegal immigrants responsible for in the united states. well there has been some horrendous incident some terrible crimes committed by illegal immigrants and of course there is a problem with the drug smugglers with the gang members coming into the united states illegally but if you look at the oval and figures all the studies all serious studies basically have found out that crime among immigrants is actually lower than among the general populations or people who were born u.s. citizens just one figure here about seven percent of the united states population are non citizens but only five percent of inmates in prisons. non-citizens so clearly the figures tell a different story but of course donald trump doesn't care for that he said he believes what he wants and he says what his supporters want to hear you know person phenomenon the story for us tonight in washington helping us preview it again why the facts and the statistics are important kirsten thank you. shari the latest from the world cup in russia a group g. actually got st

we need immigration reform in the united states if only it's a refrain from caging crying children and to going back to the days when domestic violence wasn't a crime but a private matter and the group these clearly female abuse victims belong to jass is called womanhood when women the world over come to america for asylum because they are under the assumption that women as well as men are treated as equals in the us the women are not property here sadly the policy of just sessions and the lack of substantive opposition to it are putting the poorest most abused and neglected women in the world on the road to death. women are property in that they actually belong to can come here to the united states to get rid of a good safe from harm that's extraordinary blow my mind i have the need to be in a special group that specifically shows that why you're getting beaten up is because you're part of that promotes crazy too was it like it's not like the places they're coming from a bad part of the world would recognize the issues like these great this is really what he's talking about is he's tr

the united states immigration system is under funded under resourced and saddled with political pandering disguised as policy we haven't had meaningful immigration reform for over thirty years despite the fact that the democrat demographics of the country have changed dramatically but the needs of our economy are wildly different than they were in one thousand nine hundred eighty six but because of this discriminatory policy is once again quietly being slipped into our law books on monday june eleventh attorney general jeff sessions abandoned it twenty sixteen decision by the justice department's board of immigration appeals that decided the victim of domestic violence was eligible for asylum sessions claims he is negating this legal precedent because quote the applicant must demonstrate membership in a group which is composed of members who share a common immutable characteristic as defined with particularity and is socially distinct within the society in question and that quote the applicant's membership in that group must be the central reason for her persecution but this ingle most di

as a result of these loopholes roughly half a million illegal immigrant family units and minors fromat taxpayer expense. nobody knows how much we are paying for this monstrosity that has been created over the years. legislation that nobody has any idea what they are doing, they do not even know what it means. and you have to see this, it isa mile means. and you have to see this, it is a mile high child smugglers exploit the loopholes and they gain illegal entry into the united states putting countless children in danger on the perilous track to the united states. they come up through mexico, mexico does nothing for us. you hear it here, they do nothing for us. they could stop it. they have very strong laws, try staying in mexico for a couple of days, see how long that lasts. ok? let's speak to our correspondent rajini vaidya nathan who joins us from washington. well donald trump could change this law if he wanted to but he is kicking his heels and because this is something he has promised, tougher borders, being tough on immigration, throughout his campaign and throughout his preside

hundreds of marches take place across the united states in protest at president trump's immigration policies. the european union remains split on migrants, with hungary denying signing up to a deal with germany to take back asylum seekers. forging a new future for steel in europe — thyssenkrupp and tata weld themselves together. and uruguay has beaten portugal 2—1 in the knockout phase at the football world cup. hello and welcome to world news today. thousands of protesters in the united states are marching across the country against president trump's immigration policies. protestors are gathering using the slogan "families belong together". you're looking at one of more than 630 events calling for migrant families split up at the us border to be reunited. it should be pointed out that the rallies were organised before mr trump ordered an end to the widely criticised "zero tolerance" policy of separating children from their parents, although most of the 2,300 children taken to detention centres or into foster care are yet to be reunited. chris buckler has been speaking with protestors in was

yeah so here in colorado we're fighting for a lot of things i had to make sure that we unite immigrant families with their kids re fighting to make sure that people understand that black rising matter and that people shouldn't be relied on mom for on our street and so there's a high is you know i work on as an african-american person as a legislator at the community member and i always present and it's really hard to do that if you're the only one representing because you have to build those relationships you have to be your authentic self but not everyone is like me not everyone else of the community believe everything that i believe in my houses experiences and so i think it's so important that we elect more l.g.b. out elegy people in the office so this last primary cycle we make sure to expand the number and l.g. it actually is that they got two more members elected to their primary and i have to run their general in november but i'll be there to help and i think that all the really important i'll tell you a quick story though i was working i thought on the judiciary committee and t

as a result of these loopholes, roughly half a million illegal immigrants family units and minors frome been released into the united states since 2014, at unbelievably great taxpayer expense. nobody knows how much we are paying for this monstrosity that has been created over the years. legislation that nobody had any idea what they are doing. they do not even know what it means. and you have to see this, it isa mile means. and you have to see this, it is a mile high. our north america correspondent gary o‘donoghue spoke to us from texas, close to the us—mexico border. this particular centre where i am 110w this particular centre where i am now is one of the centres were effectively the parents are separated from the children, so as $0011 separated from the children, so as soon as they are arrested, they come across the river, across the rio grande into the united states, they are caught and brought to a centre like this one behind me. the adults are processed into the criminal justice system and at that point the children are separated from their pa rents children are separated from t

people and i'd like to point out also that it's often forgotten the people that do want to immigrate to the united states and to europe they should stay in their own country and build their own country ok and set of having the west have to subsidize them in their own country where they laughed ok that's a lot said right there go ahead ralph. yeah but i do agree to a certain extent because i once raised a question movement a press conference with mrs merkel and she made the same mistake that many people do it was also in our discussion here now that we mix migration issues the asylum you know to uphold the asylum the right of a side which is a human right and we have to uphold to those who need it we cannot make step issue with migration now what i do agree with is that what we see at the moment at the mexican border is probably a step up by deep state or by some people who want to make mr trump act and mr trump is not on your because he remembers what happened to two this is murder of a tree they are suddenly at the refugees coming in and that is what's advertised as the bucket route by the media
