these mexicans who live on the rails, you know, they make $1.00 or $2.00 a day. they're very poor; they can barely feed their own kids, but they're giving to total strangers from other countries who they're never going to see again, and they say... they told me they did this because it's the christian thing to do. this is the right thing to do; this is what jesus would do if he were in their shoes. and a lot of them has seen the suffering up close of these migrants. when i was on the train, i was with kids who hadn't eaten in one or two days, and they would cry with gratefulness for receiving this. and i think one of the best parts of this journey for me, i met this woman in vecruz she claimed to be over 100 years old-- maria-- and she said that during the mexican revolution she had been so hungry that she would eat the bark of a plantain tree in her front yard. and her hands were narled with age, but she would force them to make these little bags with tortillas, a little salsa, a little beans. >> hinojosa: oh, god, you're kidding. >> and when she heard that whis

hundreds of thousands of mexicans have been affected by these laws. mexicans, and others are affected. they are from latin america. representation is so key. that doesn't invalidate any of your stories. on the contrary, it makes us unified. whether it was logistics, or whether no mexican was available or whatever, but they are not here. so i really -- but again, i do appreciate your work. i think it is time for you go the next step. i appreciate the panel issue. thank you very much. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> good evening honorable chair person and members of the board. my name is carl cruz, i am with the american immigration lawyers and the national lawyers guild. i want to shed some light and go further than due process deprivation and explain what it is we are looking at in terms of the proposals we saw in 2007 and 2008. evans involved in some minor lobbying efforts. we need to take all this in keeping with what the office could be. on the one hand, we might get comprehensive immigration reform. on the other hand, we might get

it is not strange that agents are in mexican territory. this is a good collaboration in terms of security and collaboration. it is not surprising at two -- that two agents are in the country. >> the u.s. has been calling for more to be done in terms of stopping drug smugglers and human traffickers from entering the u.s. it is too early to tell whether this is linked to any violence associated with drug cartels. >> it is too early. there has been no indication from mexico or u.s. authorities that this is related to the drug conflict. the fact that this is known to be quite a dangerous road in some parts makes many here in mexico think it could be a regular episode of carjacking or some kind of robbery that they came under attack. some versions said they were stopped at the checkpoint. some circumstances of the attack are not yet clear. we will be hearing about it in the next few hours. >> our correspondent speaking to me earlier. you were watching -- are watching "bbc news". the man of the moment. the parent companies of the new york and fr

it's terrible, it makes many mexicans sick, angry, but it's not the... it is more or less the exception, not the rule. nevertheless it is there. we have to go beyond that. we have to create a new set of laws and development. the problem is that as young people become what we call ninis in mexico, neither work nor study, if they're left adrift there... they will be tempted by crime. if we offer them new work, prospects of development for the possibilities mexico has. >> let me stay withish w the issue in terms of what has to be done about the violence regardless of how localized it is. do you support the effort of the president to do something about it and to use whatever means necessary to stop it? >> listen, this violence is not new in mexico. it's at least 30 years old. few previous presidents condemned violence. they had one banned by the other they supported some people against others, is that kind of thing. calderon decided to legitimize it. two weeks after taking power in a hotly debated election, i think he won but 0.5%. >> rose: running against t

congress, but his opposition to the popular mexican war turned his political base against him. >> his one term in congress was pretty much a failure. he was against the mexican war which was, you know, a war where we defeated mexico pretty easily, and there was a lot of public support for that. a lot of whigs did not support the mexican war, and lincoln was one of the more outspoken critics of the war, so that hurt him politically. >> when he compared himself to stephen a. douglas, he said that stephen a. douglas and i both arrived in illinois roughly at the same time, and we both started off as hardscrabble boys ambitious to get ahead, and i am--in the race of success, i am a failure, a flat failure. >> narrator: when his term was up, he returned to springfield disappointed and concentrated on his legal career. >> he was just content to be done with politics and that he would focus, basically, the rest of his life building his law practice and making money that way. >> billy. >> ah, mr. lincoln. >> good news: the firm will stay solvent for a while. >> narrator: lincoln was the only t

in 1850, the south was well off because they just come out of the mexican war. the north didn't have nearly as much to do, and they would i think have been militarily are prepared. look how long the civil war actually took, how long the south survived, how many victories there were. but 15 years that the compromise of 1850 provided, allowed the north to further industrialize itself so that it could maintain a sustained war and conflict, and had the material and the people to put it on the field where the south, when they lost men, couldn't replace them. and it gave the north 10 years to find abraham lincoln who could put the union back together after it had been split apart. that's what the compromise did. and so, i think today the idea of compromise is back in vogue. we feel that compromise is the only way you can achieve any kind of success and benefit for the american people. you can't have one side shoved down the throat of the other side what it wants to do, and expect it to last. because once the other side gets back into power, and it's bound to be, they
