i would say lamar smith looking for a quick sound bite and a bit of nonsense. what i think the president is trying to do is fix his problem, where there is a serious enthusiasm gap, and a lot of folks question why now? and there is a political play in place, but you're talking about stopping to separate families. i have to admire the dreamers.

it's not some law that's gone through congress and we asked representatives lamar smith about that when we spoke with him yesterday. he said that when they could do is they could try to cut off the money that's being used to implement this policy they could also introduce a legislation disagreeing with the president on this and they could file a lawsuit to take president obama to court for not upholding the law, but the congressman also acknowledged that he thinks this will play out ultimately in the court of public opinion, fred. >> athena jones, thanks so much in washington. >> thanks. >>> so when the president made the announcement that he also you know clarified who would qualify a young, law-arc biding illegal immigrants who came to the u.s. as children and lived here for at least five years who would get a reprieve. those are some of the criteria, jessica colato fits the criteria and she came to the u.s. from mexico while she was just 11. she almost wassic canned out of the country for being ticketed and driving with an expired mexican passport. we got her reaction. >> what was th

congressman lamar smith from texas. many illegal immigrants will falsely claim they came here as children and the federal government has no way to check whether those claims are true. lindsey graham tweeted president obama's attempt to go around congress and american people is at best up wise and possibly illegal. another plans to sue the obama administration saying this is no longer a debate about immigration policy, the debate is now about the constitution and rule of law. i am preparing to bring suit against the president and ask for a court to enjoin him from implementing this unlawful policy. the president asked congress to pass immigration reform and today called on lawmakers to pass the dream act which puts in law for children of illegal immigrants to stay in the united states. it accomplishes that goal temporarily, but there was a time not too long ago when president obama said the onus fell squarely on congress's shoulders. in fact, he said he couldn't just decide to make the change. he was obligated to enforce

approved it, a version of the dream act would with have stalled in the house because representative lamar smith hearing on the dream act which he calls an american nightmare. orrin hatch remember in 2003, he sponsored the dream act when it was first introduced but when the senate voted on a more conservative version of it in 2010, he skipped a vote. and dismissed it as a cynical exercise in political charades. after 41 mostly republican senators stopped the dream act from passing in 2010, lindsey graham claimed democrats had pushed the dream act to hurt the g.o.p.'s reputation among latinos. you know what is hurting republican's reputation among latinos? republicans! they think we have no memory at all of what -- okay. never mind. 18 minutes after the hour. kids carbonite carbonite, how many times can i say it? just do it. it is worth it for the peace of mind alone. you know everything you have in your computer, i can't even begin -- i start spinning like a -- what am i thinking of. slot machine. a slot machine when you start thinking about what's in your computer. i spilled wine on my laptop.

we know there was some suggestion this was coming from congressman lamar smith earlier. going to do a discussion on this coming up. we'll continue to get more details. but basically the u.s. to stop deporting and grant work permits to younger illegal immigrants. that will get a lot of attention. we'll give it that here moments away. bill: certainly will, in an election year, right? martha: yeah. bill: any day a health care ruling from the supremes will come down and there are new nearest on impact of u.s. businesses. here is house minority leader nancy pelosi who says she has no doubt the will stand. >> we're ironclad on constitutionality of the bill. >> if the supreme court says unconstitutional, that is it, what do you do? what happens to health care? >> i think it will be 6-3 in our favor. bill: if that is the case, what then, if it goes the other way what about that? steve forbes, chairman and editor-in-chief of forbes media. welcome back. three options, the law stands, the law is thrown out or a part of the law is thrown out. what do you believe the law right now is

people like lamar smith, the house judiciary committee chairman. he is a republican, who has been repeatedly criticizing the obama administration for just these things. a republican from ios said the same thing. this is not unique to the administration. they are using prosecutorial discretion. the federal government decides to prosecute and it will not under immigration law, using the discretion to create deferrals for people who they say -- and i think they are right about this -- pose no threat to the united states. i did not hear those comments coming from mitt romney, and that was the thing that interested me. or from marco rubio. i did not hear those guys saying this was an overreach of presidential authority. i think that signifies that have to put -- push pretty hard. host: fawn johnson, thank you very much. again, to your phone calls, we set aside the lines. a line for illegal immigrants as well if you want to call in. 202-628-0184. joseph ramirez weighing in on the decision, saying -- also another opinion this morning. charles, independent

certainly the big guns like john conyers and lamar smith. something that chairman smith and conyers have a consensus on this. no matter what they think on other crime policy, no matter what they think on immigration policy, when it comes to the notion that victims of trafficking deserve to be helped, even victims who might have been here as illegal aliens, there's a consensus on that. and something we think is special. one thing i will say there is a bill that ron wyden has out there that would for pilot projects increase the ability of us to help the u.s. citizen victims. this is something that, you know, we recognize that foreign victims often need more help but the welfare reform law of 1996, they are not he believe eligible for business ben fits. a girl that is coming out of a situation with a pimp, she doesn't have anybody to walk her through the system. she doesn't have anybody to say, what's in the best interest of the child, and ron wyden is definitely looking at that and something we are very interested in the bill that he's got for

i was a member of the judiciary committee and then chairman henry hyde, along with now chairman lamar smith, asked the department of homeland security -- actually, the immigration service at the time, to set priorities and here's what they said. the letter expressed concern about cases of apparent hardship, such as removal proceedings against legal permanent residents who came to the united states when they were very young many years ago, maybe committed a single criminal crime at the lower end of the spectrum, who have always been law-abiding and said to the i.n.s. that they should exercise discretion more regularly. that was done by the clinton administration, the bush administration, and now the obama administration. to suggest that deimportanttations are not occurring is extremely misleading, because, in fact, there have been more deportations during the obama administration per year than at any time in the nation's history. d.h.s. has removed over 779,000 individuals in deimportanttation proceedings, 18% increase. however, there is a limit to the number who can be deported per year. su
