i spoke to the homeland security secretary janet napolitano who put this policy together. she insisted some of the states are the hispanic vote is so important played no role. this is something she had been looking at for months. megyn: the department of homeland security saying politics played no role whatsoever in this decision. the question is whether this is just a prioritization move on the part of the president. the president does get to decide how he will prioritize the limited resources of the department of homeland security. they said they will go after the ones who committed crimes while in the country before they will go after law abiding illegal immigrants in the country now. is the defense likely to be this is just another step in that? we are going to put the lowest priority, kids who were brought over by their parents? >> reporter: i imagine that is part of the argument. as you just mentioned, the president is likely to say these are not people who are breaking the law. they have no criminal record. they earned a high school diploma. they are doing right by

homeland security secretary janet napolitano saying those who are under age 30 right now who came to this country as children younger than 16 and who don't pose a risk to national security would be eligible to stay in the country and allowed to apply for work permits. this shift in policy addressing a top priority for a growing group of voters. monica crowley is a fox news contributor and a radio talk show host, julie rah begin sky is a fox news contributor and former adviser to senator frank lautenberg. welcome to both of you. julie, because this is aimed at young latinos, a lot of people are saying this is a nakedly political attempt to win political support for the president at a time when he's having, well, a pretty rough month of june. what do you say? >> well, he's got a lot of latino support to begin with. let's not forget he's got something like 70% of latino voters are supporting him. i think this is a very humane policy. i think it's one that's been espoused by both parties. senator rubio essentially proposed the same kind of program in the senate, and it got stymied, so i

janet napolitano has an obligation to enforce the law. and their oath is tied to the constitution in the same way. they understand that when they put their hand on the bible and raise their right hand and say, i do solemnly swear, that includes take care that the laws be faithfully executed. that's the obligation of the executive branch of government. the obligation of the legislative branch of government is to pass laws that be necessary and proper. in fact, madam speaker, among article 1, section 8 of the innumerated powers is the necessary and proper clause which says to congress, the legislative branch, to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers. that's the full list of powers that come before it in article 1, section 8, and all other powers vested by this congress -- constitution in the government of the united states or any department or officer thereof. necessary and proper clause includes exclusive authority to pass laws as vested in the legislative branch and government.

terminated but there's a simple way of this get resolved the department of homeland security janet napolitano could open up the database and verified the names that florida says are ineligible because they're no longer either they were citizens or they're not alive she could use the national database and verify this this whole issue could go away what we're doing right now is creating an environment where there will be hundreds of thousands of people who are not actually eligible to vote who are going to show up and influence the outcome every going to knows that it's already had close race it happens all the times and that it's and laid out here of i mean studies have been done about this lots of people have looked into this this crisis of voter fraud and they found it doesn't exist you know more people get struck by lightning voter than than people who commit voter fraud it's an increase you know you want to look at are the number of arrests and prosecutions across the state are unprecedented in terms of there is no no in the state of virginia for instance they just did i was huge series of

the people who are involved, and janet napolitano understand immigration intimately. her job is to enforce the border. then we have one of president obama's top aides who before she came to the white house was a reward winner for her civil rights activism largely involving immigrants and hispanics. she understands these issues terribly well. she cares deeply about the fate of a lot of these undocumented immigrants. back in 2006 or 2007 when there was a broad immigration building discussed in congress, it is one of the biggest things i have ever covered. there was an argument that people were making. the border is not secure. we're letting the border fall down. the border is crumbling. people are flowing across our borders. it was among the people that have been pushing for a comprehensive immigration reform system. they said later that they see did the argument when they -- they ceded the argument men -- when they should not have. border enforcement has consistently gotten better thereof the bush administration. once obama took over, and the up to the ante. they put t

basically what he is telling janet napolitano don't deport them she is not going to defy him. >> i doubt it very much she is not. he hasn't gone for legislation. this is like the dream act didn't get anywhere. >> bill, we have got to look at the politics clear here. he had a democratic congress. >> bill: he didn't do gentleman jack? >> nancy pelosi was speaker of the house when he became president harry reid majority leader for two years he didn't do it. what makes this objectionable to me today amongst other things is that he blames republicans saying he couldn't get it through congress, we can't wait and completely distorts the relates and the record. this is a political move. >> bill: of course it is. we all know it's a political move. in his heart he believes it's the right thing to do for america. in his heart he believes gay marriage is right for gays. you know how politicians are. >> in his heart, bill. >> in his heart he believes he should be elected to a second term. >> bill: it doesn't matter where weather these people get married or stay or go. if he took a lie detector test h

but others say he was frustrated by the policy he came close to call for janet napolitano's resignationy, gutierrez promised to continue the fight. >> we need to work on a permanent fix to the broken immigration system. >> mr. obama bypass congress irritated the lawmakers and sidelineed a republican effort. senator marco rubio of florida and heisteds admit his push for a longer-term new version of the dream act is likely dead until after the election. john? >> john: we'll see how it plays out. thank you mike emanuel. first, voting is over in egypt now. the question is who won? >> john: this is a fox knew alert. breaking news out of afghanistan. it appears there has been another case of american service member killed by attacker dressed in afghan police uniforms. it happenedded in the southern part of the country. eight u.s. troops were injured, three shooters fled the scene. there has been a dozen so-called insider attacks in afghanistan so far this year. >>> israeli defense officials say militants crossed over from egypt sinai desert and opened fire on workers constructing a fence. one
