mister president. >> senator from obama. >> i'm honored to be here talking about immigration. this has become a contentious issue that as soon as you say immigration there is a group of people that start screaming amnesty on every public conversation and another group screaming thugs taking latina grandmothers out of their homes and the whole conversation diminishes and we lose the policy issues that are in place. there are obvious problems with immigration. we have not taken those issues on in decades. they need to be resolved. every year they are not resolved this issue gets harder and more complicated. we should address the issue of immigration. the conversation has been out there and remains unresolved. i challenge this body in the next week the month let's resolve the big issues on immigration. four years ago in central america a group of other senators and house members were meeting with central america leaders and meeting with him to talk about immigration and those individuals leaving those countries coming to the united states illegally but also to meet with him in ce

obama. like what are you talking about? >> martha: guy, never never mister. back in here one more time for you. when you look at, look, go ahead. >> i was going to say problem that democrats are going to run into next year is they had been spending a lot of time over the last few weeks flagrantly lying to the american people that this is a tax increase on the middle class and it's not. it is a tax cut for 80% of americans. and so the one line that the democrats love to repeat is oh, by 2027, by which point the average american family would have gotten $7,000 of tax relief by 2027 it might expire. i think every democrat should be asked every day will you pledge not to allow the republican middle class tax cuts to expire in 2027. exactly how president obama refused to allow the bush tax cuts for the middle class to expire in 2012. he made them permanent. it's the same dynamic and misleading argument. >> martha: like entitlement tax cuts are hard to rescind. zach? >> what we're talking about here is the republican led cbo not only about what i said about the tax
