when canada legalizes in july. but it also nearly doubles the market and basically overnight. sales of legalized marijuana recreational marijuana in 2017 totaled about $10 billion. before california hit the market -- this year, california is actually expected to generate it be about $5 billion in sales alone. and it be one billion in taxes. this is huge. but three days after california's law went into effect attorney general jeff sessions revoked obama administration coal memo which essentially said that within reason, assuming you don't grow on federal lands and children across states lines stuff like that federal officials will allow it to stand. sessions action doesn't actually do that much. right it is more saber rattling than anything else since 95% of drug arrests occur on state level because neither the dojodea has people or resources to necessarily go after large scale growers and district tores. but it is an incredibly clear symbolic shift is right. sessions seems to be saying i'm going to ignore pots risi

legalizing marijuana in 2012 is huge. before people even infuse pot into beer alleys professionally you are very much so on the cutting edge. you really set the pace. i would like to start by situating asked where we are in our current moment it will not quite a month into the second year of the trump administration and whatever you are feeling on the subject country you can agree it's a distinctly weird time to be alive. perhaps no more so than in america's strange relationship and should relationship with both legal and illegal drugs. last year i read probably on twitter that it hillary clinton were marijuana and what it excretes a very different inauguration on january 20, 2017. this is not to say if clinton were made a pot what if elected president pot or something but rather in the four states to tht legalize marijuana in the 2016 election, all of them got marijuana and all then got in the higher approval ratings either presidential candidate. the support is both an was and is overwhelming bipartisan comity. republic

and a legal one. president start personally paying the legal bills of staffers in the white house being called to testify potentially for him or against him? seemed like that was what the fund was set up for but sure enough the day after we first reported on the new existence of this fund, cnn reported the president is unlikely to contribute to this fund because it will bankroll bills for multiple officials, some of whom may need to speak to special counsel investigators, at least while the investigation is ongoing. so this is a sticky wicket. money for the president? yeah, maybe not. how do we deal with that with the fund? sticky. well, where else could the money come from to fund these legal fees with the russia scandal legal defense fund? on this point, on the point of where the trump legal defense fund is going to get its money, i have something that i would like to know, something i would like more information about. for several months we've been reporting on and asking about a big financial myst

fees so far but the president will start paying for his own legal fees and he will also pay the legalho work for him as well. you see the headline there. trump to pay his own legal bills, set up fund to cover staff. so that -- if that is what they're going to use the fund for, so the president can help defray the legal costs of all of the people involved in trump orbit caught up in the russia scandal, that may sort of help the political problem, the strategic problem of him getting his bills paid for but everybody else having to cover themselves. but there's also an awkwardness to that solution because if the boss is paying your bills, the boss is the president, he's offering to help you with your legal bills, you're a staffer deciding what you're going to tell the special counsel about the boss paying your legal bills this remains an open question. would the president start personally paying the legal bills of staffers in the white house being called to testify potentially for him or against him? seemed like that was what the fund was set up for but sure enough the day after we first

legalization is popular. new jersey might legalize vermont is going through that but a new counter revolution is for me. every revolution has a counterrevolution of its own. the pendulum will never stop moving. jeff sessions is renewing the federal threat against pop against his comments no good people use marijuana. more problematic the farm is launching a lopping cane campaign against legalization. this that $500 lopping against areas of 2016. other pharmaceutical manufacturers including purdue and things like that still have a lot of money to organizations that oppose legalization. worried that it will lower the number of opiates prescript. they're not wrong. opiate overdoses have fallen in legalized states. doctors prescribe 1800 fewer prescriptions for opiates. i'm a historian not in oracle. i can't say for sure but i wasn't surprised by sessions doing this. essentially we should see it coming. there's some sense that were doing better than we did before. this november colorado will celebrate six years o

how do we go about building the legal campaign. kimberle crenshaw: we're going to dream a possibiliy and we are going to do it with craft, we're going to strategize, we're going to do it with finesse, in these southern courtrooms. narrator: soon after he began work in new york, thurgood marshall opened a new front on the attack on separate but equal. in the segregated schools of the south, black teachers were paid less than white teachers. and in december of 1936 marshall began a series of cases in maryland to change the separate but unequal nature of teachers pay. joseanderson: teacher's pay cases presented a great opportuniy for the naacp becauseteacher's salaries were set in the language of the statute, or they had a pay scale that was printed out on a pay schedule that was public information. in fact, teacher pay cases were plessy violations printed in the written law. narrator: marshall began dozens of teacher pay cases throughout the south, opening new naacp branches wherever he went. making loyal members of the black teacher

the ones that are legal? are thate estimates there are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the united states currently and there are about 32 million legal immigrants in the united states. caller: i thank you very much. is off thet number grid. wyoming, it is just unreal how many illegals we have. i don't know how many. , they are allound working. i would say they are a very workable bunch of people and a lot of them are wonderful people. they just, for the system. i do appreciate your time. thank you for c-span. host: thank you for calling. how do screening work? how long does it take? guest: for folks coming in on the chain migration program, how long does it take? guest: it depends on where they are coming from. usually it takes a couple of years for the immediate relative category. the united states government has agreements around the world to check on criminal records. the government has access to numerous databases around the world as well as our own databases about national security threats. check,

each year 1.1 million legal immigrants come into the united states. about 70% of them are members of families of those already here. some of them have waited for their chance to join up with their families 20 years. so 75% of the legal immigration's family unification, as i mentioned, some have waited for a long, long time. many on the other side want to limit legal immigration into the united states. want to limit this family unification effort and those who come in with promises of jobs. so the question was asked in the poll, as to whether or not we should cut legal immigration levels. in the quinnipiac poll, 78% of americans are opposed to cutting legal immigration. a majority of americans, 54%, support keeping legal immigration at the same or current level. more americans, 24%, supporting increasing it rather than decreasing 17%. even 71% of republicans voters want legal immigration levels to stay either the same, 53%, or increase, 18%. additional poll questions pound fourth for maining the current policy regarding family reunification. 49 to 43.

so obviously more legal gambling is in their interest. woi do you think it's easier access to gambling on sports why do you think that's a good idea. >> the fact is americans already spend about $150 billion on sports betting each year. 97% of that happens lefl. in every corner of the country with bookies, off shore illegal operators. our point of view is bring this into the regulated legal market. because of the laws in the united states right now, the only people who can't provide sports betting are legal regulated companies who can protect consumers in the process. >> less, your group is called stop spreader to gambling so we know where you come down on it. to the point we heard from jeff this is taking place right now. why do you think expanding and legalizing it is bad idea. >> what mr. freeman didn't mention is that in 2016 the economist recently reported that americans lost $117 billion already to state sanctioned gambling schemes. and adding you know sports gambling which essentially would be a form of online sports gambling comin

the largest policy driven legal immigration cuts in the 20s.s. compared to the current law, it would exclude nearly 22 million people from the opportunity to immigrate legally over the next five decades. mr. president, go back in history to a time with a proposal that passed on the floor of this chamber to cut as many legal immigrants in the united states. 1924 and calvin coolidge was president. world war i with the growing fear because of all the damage done inur europe, europeans would come to the united states. also a concern the wrong people were coming in the eyes of congress. so the immigration act past of 1924 and set quotas for countries and for people expressly designed to exclude certain people from around the world from entering the united states of america. a notorious piece of legislation those excluded from america included people from italy, eastern europe, japan, asia and jewish people. that was the immigration policy of the united states of america because of that bill in 1924 the last time this chamber has made such a dramatic c

so 75% of the legal immigration is family unification. as i mentioned some have waited for a long, long time. many on the other side want to limit legal immigration into the united states, want to limit this family unification effort and those who come in with promises of jobs. so the question was asked in the poll as to whether or not we should cut legal immigration levels. and the quinnipiac poll, 78% of americans are opposed to cutting legal immigration. a majority of americans 54% support keeping legal immigration at the same or current level. more americans, 24%, supporting increasing it rather than decreasing it 17%. even 71% of republican voters want legal immigration levels to stay either the same, 53%, or increase, 18%. additional poll questions found support for maintaining the current policy regarding family reunification, 49-43. and the diversity visa lottery, 48-39. then we asked some hot button issues on immigration. and throughout our history, these are the issues usually raised about immigrants. immigrants, they say, take

into the country through legal immigration. and also to address the president's concern about just the roll of the dice in the diversity lottery that makes little sense given our need for people with job-based skills and graduate degrees and other merit-based criteria that would make them valuable to the united states in addition to winning the lottery. so, madam president, i hope we'll take advantage of this opportunity this week. time is wasting. it's wednesday. we don't have any time to waste at all. madam president, i yield the floor. i'd note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from georgia. a senator: madam president, i apologize. i would ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. perdue: madam president, i rise today to talk about the topic of the week, although some of us have been working on this soar some time, many of us in this body have actually been addressing

exclude nearly 22 million emigrate legally to the united states in the next 5 degrees. go back in time when there was a proposal to pass on the floor of this chamber that cut as many legal immigrants to the united states in the year was 1924, calvin coolidge was president of theon united states. we had just seen the end of world war i and there was a growing fear that because of all the damage done in europe europeans would come tos the united states and there was also a concern that the wrong people were coming to the united states in thed, eyes of the members of some of congressman immigration act of 1924 past and it said quotas for countries and set quotas for peta people and it was expressly designed to exclude certain people from around the world from entering the united states of america. it is a notorious piece of legislation and those who were to be excluded excluded from america included people from italy,te eastern europe, japan, asia and jewish people. that was the immigration policy of united states of america because of that bill in 1924. that's the last ti

i support legal immigration. i think it makes our country better but i'm not sure exactly what the right number n is and m not sure that w he was the right or meal it is. a number of countries like australia and canada look at the skills are merit a system in addition to family relationships. i think that makes a lot of sense. so while we are continuing to have this discussion about what should be the long-term rate of legal immigration it makes sense to plow these additional green cards it will not be used by collateral family members based strictly on the family relationship back into the backlog and those families have been waiting for their loved one who has been in line waiting to emigrate legally into the united states. one thing i really appreciate about the president's proposal woulds address the shortcomings for the so-called gang of a bill that was considered back in 2013 2013. this is where i differ again from my colleague from illinois. he celebrates the fact that they were able to get 60 votes in the

these individuals are legal in this country. they came illegally but they've been there for the same length f of time at their part of our fabric to say as dreamers. it's for that reason that the right resolve is to protect their legal status here in the united states to give them a pathway to citizenship so that they can become illegal citizens of the country that they know as home. as 2144, the secure act was introduced by senator van hollen, senator feinstein, myself and others in order to a compass that and and mr. president, i hope that during the debate where having here, that we will find a way in which we can incorporate protection for these 437,000 people legally here so that they know the future is here and they are protected in the workforce. the senate is very similar to the dreamer issue. weth know that the dreamer issu, the crisis, the march date that we are facing was created by the president of the united states. the daca program was created by president obama on june 15, 2012, and since that day without about 80

during the time the backlog clears, there would be no reduction of legal immigration. i don't know the right number for legal immigration wet, naturalize and have about 1 million people per year. i support legal immigration i think it makes our country better but i am not sure exactly what the right number is for the right formula. a number of countries like australia and canada look at the merit-based system in addition to family relationships. that makes a lot of sense but what are those rates of legal but those were basically on the family relationship but those families are waiting for their loved one who has been in line waiting legally in the united states. one thing i appreciate about the presidents proposal is to address the shortcoming of the gang of eight bill considered in 2013. this is where i differ from my colleagues in illinois to celebrate the fact they could get 60 votes in the senate. i am not sure that is a cat can take those pillars and to get a presidential signature on a lot of passes not only the senate but the house and that the president will s

let's store that legal status for our dreamers and enhance our border security and do the work that this chamber should have done long ago. thank you, mr. president. >> mr. president, i am pleased to come and talk today. this is the week where we had all anticipated a return to the senate where ideas are widely debated and i was standing by the majority leader last week when he was talking about this and said we will let a thousand flowers bloom and didn't sound like something that senator mcconnell would normally use as a reference but he did and i am thinking that would be a good thing to see a thousand different ideas widely debated on the senate floor. so far, this week, there has not been any debate because we cannot seem to agree on who votes on what first. that is a particular level of dysfunction we should all be concerned about four. for the senate to do the work we have to be able to vote and willing to take hard votes and my sense ofwh politics today is whether you took the vote or not someone will accuse you of taking a vote and you may not as will worry about the vote you ta

second, if we give legal status, it will create a whole new pool oftu legal permanent residents and citizens who can naturalize their extended family to include their parents, the very people who created the problem to begin with. it undermines the rationale forer the program. sremember, that rationale is that children ought not pay for the sins of the parents but surely parents cans. pay for the sins of the parents. so, if we do those things, provide legal status for the 1.8 million people who find themselves in the situation through no fault of their own negative sidee effects and secure our southern border and the practice of chain migration, we will have a bill that can become the law. at the same time, we will also grandfather in every person who iswa currently in the backlog waiting to come to this country who has applied to get a green card because they have a parent or child or sibling in this country, some of whom who have been waiting to 20 years and no one will be cut out of that waitingll line. furthermore, we will continue to allow american citizens to get a renewable, non- work

it's called the patriot legal expense fund trust. see on monday the office of government ethics weighed in on this and said they don't approve or disapprove of legal defense funds but they said the ones in the papers would comply with the law of how government workers can be paid and gifts for them or their bosses. this fund is reportedly to help with legal fees for the trump campaign, trump administration or trump transition when it comes to the inquiries being conducted by the committees of the u.s. senate and house of representativ representatives. we have reported this truth on the trump investigation. one that created weird incentives for people caught up in these. that is that the trump campaign spent hundreds of thousands of dollars paying fees for two people and two people only, donald trump and donald trump jr. recognizing that was a little weird, the president's lawyers announced months ago that the president planned to set up some kind of mechanism, using his own money to help staffers pay their bills, too. ticklish propos

debate and the amendment, we will find out just how serious our colleagues are about granting not just legal status to the dreamers who came to this country are brought here illegally as children and should not be held accountable for that action, but the proposal available for about one -- a vote this week will grant a path to citizenship and it goes well beyond the illegal executive order that obama issued and available to far more people than those who took up president obama's illegal executive order. so i hope we are able to reach an agreement because i think it needs to get done. but first i want to on an amendment we will be voting on that is about keeping our community safer by addressing the terrible problem of sanctuary cities this is a problem that one father in particular knows all too well. but jim in 2015 walking with his daughter kate on the p or ke dad as she bled to death in her father's arms. now any murder is appalling but one of the things that makes it more appalling is the shooter should never have been on the p or that day. the fact is he was in him illegal immigrant c

this is legal immigration. it's gone up and up and up, to the point now where we're accepting almost 1.2 million legal immigrants per year. if you add on top of that the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants coming in, that number's much higher than this. this is only legal immigration. so, my friends, i'll tell you. 1.1 million legal immigrants, people who stand up here and say that we're hard-hearted, that we don't accept every illegal immigrant that gets across our border, but i'll tell you, the numbers say otherwise. the numbers don't lie. we are very open to immigration. we still go by the motto on statue of liberty. we accept people from all over the world. 1.2 million legal immigrants per year. and look at this slide, mr. speaker. this is a representation of the top 10 countries in the world that accept legal immigrants. and you'll notice on the far side here is the united states. this is as of the year 2015. e accepted 1,051,000 legal immigrants. the next closest was germany at 686,000. heck, we'r

but i do know a good number of the legalization permits are legalizing a good number of those single-family homes, and there are a good number of those on file. we can talk about it as a separate unit, but they're kind of legalizing that being assessory dwelling units, so i think really more single-family homeowners have been participating in the accessory dwelling unit program. but with that, planning has received a grant from the friends of city planning to undertake a community outreach program, which we anticipate doing hopefully this summer? which would be focused on adu's, the single-family homes, going out to all the supervisororial districts and doing presentations and outreach to really focus on what the needs of sipping will family homeowners might be as far as education and how to get started. we do get a lot of questions on how to get started? so really, you know, doing some kind of informational interviews first to figure out what the needs might be, and then doing that type of outreach. so -- first question. second question, i may -- let's -- i'm not sure i fully grasped what

that means fixing broken parts of our legal immigration system. we must also ensure the safety of the american people. that's why a daca resolution should be paired with new security measures at our borders and commonsense steps to improve security inside our borders. steps like fixing the loophole that forces us to release thousands of criminal aliens whose home countries won't take them back. steps like enacting case law to put criminal offenders who repeatedly and illegally cross our borders behind bars. cracking down with stiffer penalties for human trafficking and updating the removeability grounds for drug traffickers, repeat offenders and other violent and dangerous criminals. why in the world would those ideas be controversial? keeping americans safe does not need to be a partisan issue. and addressing these important safety issues along with daca, border security, and other parts of our broken immigration system is our best chance to produce legislation that can pass the house, pass the senate, and earn the president's signature. this is

what many people don't realize is that congress was a legal right and it was a legal right because of the law needed to give states away of actually writing the wrongs that they went to war in order to write. when the united states went to war with mexico in 1846 the official legal justification was that mexico owed the united states $2 million. the united states tried for 20 years to get that money back and decided to go to war in 1846, and as compensation, they got compensation for those debts and the name of that compensation is california, utah, nevada, new mexico, part of oklahoma and basically 500,000 square miles of mexican territory. this is not the way, when the united states did this it was not acting as a rogue imperial power. it was acting as what responsible states did. and that is because the old world order give states the right of war and, therefore, the right of conquest. in addition to the right of conquest states had another right. if they had the right to go to war, if they had the right to threaten to go to war, this is incredibly important because this undergirds

and we know when they depart legally. dealing with what is sometimes called catch and release. vifds that come into the country and cross illegally into the country are held in detention for a short period of time until they get due process. every individual gets due process. this is not trying to remove due process from anyone. as they cross into the country illegally, we're able to pick them up, detain them, make sure they have due process. some may make claims for asylum or fear or other things. instead of doing a hearing on that, we actually give them a piece of paper that is called a notice to appear and release them into the country and say we'll see you in about two years for your hearing date. instead of actually doing the hearing right then. nothing is changed. no facts have changed. no information is exchanged during that time of delay. we just release them because we don't have enough judges or enough courts or enough attorneys or advocates to be able to accomplish that so they're released for years in the coun

this group of senators realized that real border security means we have to close the legal loopholes in the current law that allowed dangerous criminals to enter and remain at-large within our country. so our amendment and these dangerous loopholes and makes it easier for our law enforcement to apprehend, detained and is easily removed sex offenders, drug smugglers, human traffickers, international terrorist, criminal gang members, repeat border crossers, drunk drivers and other dangerous people. second, our amendment provides a generous and permanent solution for daca and daca eligible recipients. our plan contains an earned path to citizenship for these young people. provided these young men and women have no criminal record and neither serve in the military are maintained full-time employment, and they can eventually gain citizenship. this represents a major concessionub for many republicas including the senator, that this concession is necessary to provide a permanent and fair solution to this issue. the third pillar, our proposal reforms family-based immigration to place greater

the eu will publish a draft of the brexit withdrawal treaty — setting out in legally binding text thed terms of the uk's departure. the document is expected to say that northern ireland will have to follow the rules of the eu's single market, if other solutions can't be agreed to avoid a hard border with the irish republic. our europe editor katya adler reports from brussels. this document is about the european commission putting into legally binding text the agreements that have been reached between the two sides, so remember those divorce issues, citizens rights, the brexit bill on the irish border and also the transition agreement, that is what will be in this 120 page document, and when it goes in black—and—white it will be interesting to see to what extent the uk government and the european commission really are on the same page. when it comes to issues where no final agreement was reached, such as over political hot potato is like the future role of the european court ofjustice or the irish border, we will hear from the commission what its fallback position is and when it comes

the legal group, client earth, has been taking legal action against the government to push them to gor as quickly as possible for the each time they go for a court action the judge agrees with client earth that the government is not delivering clean airas government is not delivering clean air as quickly as possible. so previously the government has been asked to sort out 28 areas where pollution is especially bad and tell local councils to address the problem. it has been asked to do another 33 areas now where pollution is bad and councils again will be asked to address the problem. perhaps by keeping out diesel vehicles or trying to control traffic at busy times. so client earth obviously have to keep going to court, they said this should not happen and the government should just have done what it was meant to. the government says it accepts the rulings and is now going to really clean up the air as quickly as it can. roger, thank you. team gb's women's curling team have beaten the reigning champions canada to reach the semi—finals. it means the canadian women have failed to win a m

and not end up with a legal system that will be enforceable in the future. there's nothing mean-spirited about it. we admit 1 million people a year lawfully into america, hundreds of thousands of workers are here in addition to that every year taking jobs, so we're not talking about ending immigration the president is in no way talking about being unkind and it's some time in the future after the ill-legality has ended we can begin to talk about people who have been here a long time and who have not violated our laws in other ways. maria: do you expect to get a deal done on daca before the march 5 deadline, sir? >> i don't know. the people who say they want to fix that, president trump has offered them that. he's been very generous in his legislation. i think that is a very generous policy, goes beyond actually what president obama had in his daca policy and goes beyond even what some people who favored the daca expected, so that's been very generous so we're, he's already made compromises, so the question really is when we pass this bill, will we once more

second, it will create a whole new pool of immigrants who are newly legalized who can then get legal status and ultimately citizenship for their extended families, especially their parents, who created the situation in the first place. so this is a coherent, sensible compromise. second, it's popular. two-thirds of the american people want something just like this bill. every component is popular as well. we are making -- asking our fellow senators just to vote on something that's popular and each component of which is popular. third and finally, this is the only bill that can become a law. we have a plan to pass a law. others have a plan to pass a bill. anything else may pass out of the senate but it will not pass the house of representatives and it will not get the president's signature. we want to solve this problem by passing a law, not by passing a bill. >> thank you. first i would like to thank my colleagues that have worked so diligently on this. senator grassley, thank you for involving me as well. the secure and succeed act is what we are talking about tonight. this legislati
