and it probably has more to do with the mexican american relationship than with the american-canadian relationship. what we have done with the obama administration is we have this beyond the border initiative where we are finding ways of avoiding dupely cat of screening, when we're finding ways of doing more and more of our screening and security checks on the perimeter of the continent are rather than at the border. so these are ways to significantly increase integration and trade and toughism flow across the border. but i don't think -- i just don't see a customs union being in the cards. >> i also think those are very smart initiatives. another term for that is a smart border. and pushing the border out that way is smart. we did that in the united states with something called the safe ports act, which requires cargo to be screened at the point of embarkation in china or some other asian port, pick that, ca the oceanso priorities and it seems to me that initiative was a very healthy one. >> where it's trying to adopt the view of something -- i forget what the exact term is, checked

mexican-american immigrants and hispanics in western states are not quite sure of that as much. >> letwhat you've done so far, i completely agree with both you and joe scarborough on marco rubio. tim pawlenty, he's already been vetted for it. one thing about all these candidates is usually there's a negative. and pawlenty to me has the fewest possible negatives on this list. and portman, i think a lot of democrats are hoping for portman, the thing you mentioned about ohio is the scariest part of them. if rob portman is on the ticket, biden gets to spend all of these time talking about the bush economics and he was in there running the budget office and running up these massive deficits for president bush and you get to go right back to that old, you know, speech about the bush deficits. >> it's true, that's a down side, there's no question. i believe it's true that rob portman was head of the omb for one year, maybe a year and a half in 2007. certainly joe biden will make that case. you can't hang the bush tax cuts around his neck, that will be one mitigating factor. the big advantage
