(risas). >> ah, no. mira, todos tenemos un gran recuerdo, el recuerdo mÍo era de cortar jardines, vender donas, entregar periÓdicos. en mi Época colegial limpiaba oficinas, por las noches parqueaba carros y mi historia no es la Única, la historia mÍa es similar a la de millares de personas cubanas llegadas aquÍ. pero el comentario mÍo era el siguiente: que esta naciÓn que estÁ perdiendo poblaciÓn, que la poblaciÓn se envejece cada dÍa mÁs, no quiere ser otro japÓn o europa oriental, quiere ser un paÍs como los paises de brasil, india, china, otros que tienen una fuerza laboral joven, con ganas de trabajo. y es el proceso migratorio de las personas quienes quieren realizar el sueÑo americano, que nos lleva el Ímpetu ese a ser una vez mÁs una naciÓn de gran producciÓn, de una fuerza laboral importante y esta migraciÓn no es solo para lo

time is on our side. >> suarez: congressman luis gutierrez, democrat of illinois, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, ray. suarez: and now to republican raul labrador from idaho. earlier today your conference had a meeting, all the house republicans getting together. what did the speaker have to say about the future of immigration reform? >> the speaker just wanted to us have an honest conversation about what we needed to do to hear our concerns about immigration reform and whether we had any ideas on a path forward. we also had the chairman of the judiciary and the chairman of homeland security present what we have already done in those committees and kind of give a presentation to the conference on what the bill said that have been heard already are doing for the future of immigration. >> suarez: do the various bills coming out of the house majority, your party, provide enough in common with the bipartisan bill coming out of the senate to go to conference? is there enough for you to start conferring on? >> i don't think there's enough to start conferring yet. but i think line by l

la buena noticia es la siguiente: hace 4 años un grupo bipartidista, entre ellos luis gutiérrez, javierestaba john carter de texas, sam johnson de texas. >> sí y llegaron a un acuerdo. >> y muy diverso. hemos llegado a un acuerdo en áreas muy difíciles, muy controversiales, es un grupo de ideología diversa y por eso yo creo que eventualmente vamos a poder conseguir que la mayoría de la cámara y la mayoría del senado lleguemos a un acuerdo. >> muchos republicanos están insistiendo en la seguridad en la frontera, en estos momentos la frontera está más segura que nunca. el senado acaba, prácticamente de duplicar el presupuesto y la cantidad de personas que están resguardando la frontera ¿qué es lo que quieren? ¿qué más quieren aparte de lo que ya hay para mantener a la frontera segura? >> sí. el pueblo americano, y en todas las encuestas lo demuestra, demócratas, republicanos, independientes, liberales, conservadores, no creen que la frontera está asegurada ¿por qué no creen que la frontera está asegurada? porque hay 11 millones de personas aquí, algunos que cruzaron la frontera, otros que

cierto vamos a votar en contra, otros que vamos a favorecer, pero este esfuerzo de nosotros con luÍs gutiÉrrezs aÑos creo que va a ser donde vamos a eventualmente llegar, ese esfuerzo va a tener que tener una legalizaciÓn. >> vemos que el presidente de la cÁmara baja dice que no va a llevar ni siquiera el proyecto que pueda salir de un comitÉ de conferencia si no tiene el apoyo de la mayorÍa de la mayoria repÚbli republicana ¿creen que tienen votos dentro para que al pleno de la cÁmara baja llegue un proyecto de ley que haya una votaciÓn?. >> eso es lo que espero s y para eso estamos aquÍ, para trabajar, para llegar a ese dÍa. acuÉrdese que esa filosofÍa de la estrategia de john b sobre este proyecto de ley en especÍfico ha dicho cuando vamos a llevar los proyectos a la cÁmara va a ser con la mayorÍa de republicanos ¿por quÉ? porque obama ca re fue un desastre, sigue siendo un desastre y no se pasÓ con votos republicanos. >> Él dice, ahora estamos en la mayorÍa, tenemos que tener esa mayorÍa. >> pero la pregunta serÍa ¿cÓmo convencen a republicanos que no tienen ningÚn tipo de, o no tienen nÚm

so let me ask you about luis gutierrez' optimism. nks some immigration deal with a path to citizenship is truly possible. what say you? >> i share luis's optimism. throughout the years, of all the folks here in congress, he's work the hardest to make sure we actually get a vote on comprehensive immigration reform. so i share his optimism. in fact, one of the things luis has said i also agree with you, if you put the senate bill to a vote on the house floor today, there is a good chance we could actually pass it. what's getting in the way of that is pure politic, the fact that the speaker wants to employ the hastert rule that he won't allow any piece of legislation to move without it having majority republican support. >> you were quoted in your hometown paper as saying for this to pass make bitter pills, quote, are going to have to be swallowed by democrats to get this done. what are these pills? what do you believe -- which pills here are bitter to you? >> specifically all of the new border patrol agents along the southwestern border

. >> and just moments ago on jansing and co, democratic congressman luis gutierrez says he wants a congressional investigation. >> joining me now is jamill buoy and paul. thank you both for being here this morning. >> thanks for having us. >> paul, i want to start with you. the stand your ground law began in florida in 2005 and dozens of states have some form of that. in her interview with cnn, that juror b-37 seemed to invoke stand your ground saying zimmerman had a right to defend himself even though stand your ground was not the defense used by zimmerman's legal team. how much do you think that concept played into the jurors' decisions? >> it sounded like it played a lot in her decision. the fact she used it as a reference point for outlining how she made her decisions and how the rest of the jurors made their decision, to me, is an indication she found it to be valuable and a justification for the behavior in that case and the reality of it is, i think, a lot of people, you know, there is an investigation going on right now with the stand your ground laws that the federal government is initi

i'm joined now by luis gutierrez.ongressman. >> good to see you. >> what do you hope to accomplish with this hearing? >> bring hearings and bring light. you know, the house of representatives and judiciary committee hasn't had one hearing. in the senate there have been hearings on gun violence in our society. i'd like to take this opportunity, this moment to mighti highlight the fact that the senate is silent. i think i have the same gut reaction as most americans. a teenager went out. an adult killed him with a gun and nobody is being held responsible for that death. i think it speaks to in america, i'd like to have a hearing why in people in america feel a more necessity to arm themselves and they fear more and more in fear of their fellow americans. i get the point you want to defend your home and you're going to use a gun to defend your home, i get that, but when stand your ground means you don't retreat, when stand your ground causes the death of a teenager, i think it's time to examine just everything that happe

. >> representative luis gutierrez, thanks you so much. you're more than welcome to come back. for watching this afternoon. "hardball" and chris matthews are ready to go right now. "new york times" to anthony weiner, get out. let's play "hardball." \s >> good evening, i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start tonight with this. new york has twos historic mayors in a row now, rudy giuliani and mike bloomberg. they are not without controversy, of course. but in the end, both stand today as public figures of renown. they can travel the country and be treated with great applause by broad audiences of the american people. that's a fact. anthony weiner is known nationwide for one thing that he sent pictures of just himself

in washington, democratic koj mann luis gutierrez told my colleague chris jansing that he wants a congressionalnvestigation. >> i get the point that if you one want to defend your home and you're going to use a gun to defend your home, i get that. but when stand your ground means you don't retreat, when stand your ground causes the death of a teenager, i think it's time to examine just everything that happened that day in florida. >> and the conversation extended to one of the most closely watched political figures in the nation. former secretary of state hillary clinton. in remarks to a largely african-american sorority, she related to the story not as a politician as a parent. >> no mother, no father should ever have to fear for their child walking down a street in the united states of america. >> and, of course, no one knows that better than sybrina fulton, the mother of trayvon martin now lending her voice to gun safety measures. miss fulton's attorney benjamin crump tweeted share a message from his mother and demand action to end gun violence. with a photo and her quote "we are not going t

however-- and i stressed to my friend luis gutierrez and joe lofton and those on the other side of the you made reference in the introduction a step by step approach. necessarily you have to start with a first step. i think because there is so much distrust, at least in my district, of government, they're going to be reticent to want to discuss legalization and citizenship. if we can't guarantee this is going to be the last time we're going to have this conversation. so i think it's important to start with security, whether that's border security, internal security, employment security. reasonable minds can differ and some folks may want to start with legalization but i can tell you in my district before i can convince folks to have a conversation about the 11 million, they want to have a conversation about the 300 million american citizens who are desirous of this the last time we entered into the realm of immigration reform in their lifetime. >> suarez: before they took a vote the senate added a doubling of the size of the u.s. border patrol, significantly more money for electronic d

, cnbc chief washington correspondent john harwood, and democratic congressman from illinois, luis gutierrez'll start with you. a lot of people pleebelieve the incentives for john bainer to put this on the floor are few because if he actually does he will risk losing his speakership. is he willing to risk that to pass immigration reform? >> i think in the end, the speaker understands something very, very different that we're living -- that a majority that's more than 218 members of the house of representatives are ready to vote for xrees hencive immigration reforl, dozens -- dozens of members of his republican caucus want a vote and they want to vote, many of them, because it is the right thing to do. others, because it is politically expedient for them to do it. i rool lyreally don't care how come to the table. the fact is that a majority -- look. boehner is not the kind of -- how would i say it -- ideological guy. right? he sits down, he voted against sensenbrenn sensenbrenner, that mean legislation that criminalized all immigrants. he's not a very ideological person when it comes to pushi

republicans trey gowdy of south carolina and raul labrador of idaho, along with illinois democrat luis gutierreznight, another democrat: arizona's raul grijalva. he is a member of the congressional hispanic caucus, and serves as co-chair of the congressional progressive caucus. i spoke with him yesterday. congressman grijalva, welcome to the program. a lot of attention is being paid to whether republicans will go for the senate bill in the house but i thought since you're co-chair of the progressive caucus we should ask you whether democrats in the house are happy with the changes that were made to the bill to get it through senate? >> well, i think a great deal of discomfort, some outright opposition to the search. is amendment that added $30 billion plus, doubled everything that was already in the bill and for many, for environmentalists and people that care about those public land laws-- clean water, clean air-- the waiving of those laws along the border and public lands, people have difficulty with that. the issue of just militarizing the border to an extent that it becomes almost a combat z

. >> it is interesting because this bipartisan group -- we've got luis gutierrez and javier bacera -- there is agreement that if you craft an immigration system that actually works for the country, you need to enforce it. there is no disagreement between the parties on a point. >> $46 billion for border enforcement. >> we're not going to get into the specifics on that. but certainly 40% of the people who are here without proper documents did not sneak across the border. they came in with a visa and overstayed. i think you need to take a look at the whole picture. we're not going to get into details of the amount of money or criticize our senate colleagues because they worked so hard to get a bipartisan bill. but you need to have robust enforcement if you are going to have an enforceable -- >> if i may add to that, pretty soon you understand that in order to secure the borders, you have to have a visa system that works. you have to have an interior system, called it an employment verification system that works, you have to deal with border security. you have to realize that all of thes

it says -- host: it talks about a conversation he had with congressman luis gutierrez, democrat from illinois. host: so, it looks at how congressman ryan is weighing in on this issue. frank, if you are still on the line, doesn't influence your opinion to the republican leaders taking a side on this issue? depends on what they want to do with the issue first. first, the security thing has to be worked out. without the security thing worked out, none of this stuff is going to work. because these people are still going to come in here. and the employees in this country. the black americans are going to walk -- march on washington. part of the stuff is because the illegal immigrants. and the black population not being able to get jobs because the illegal immigrants are taking all of the jobs. patricia from hartford, connecticut. democrats line. an immigrant. caller: i'm just -- i am an immigrant. my mother was an immigrant. and she has been here over 25 years. she paid her taxes. she died here. in 2000, and she didn't even know her grandson until she came here. and i have a daughter -- g
