it's a perfect nafta and don. thank you _ infection. it's a perfect nafta and don.nk you very much. - president biden is drawing criticism for backtracking on a pledge to increase the number of refugees allowed into the united states. immigration is a thorny political issue in the us — and the approach has varied from administration to administration. in 2016, the final year of the obama administration, 85,000 refugees were granted entry. this was slashed under former president donald trump, a historically low limit was set on the number of refugees with 15,000 allowed in per year. president biden has sought to distance himself from the hard—line stance of the former administration. he planned to raise the number of refugees allowed in to 62,500 per year. instead, on friday he signed an order keeping the 15,000 cap in place — though under pressure from democrats he's since pledged to raise it after all. peter bowes has more now on president biden's attempt to placate his liberal critics. well, he seems to be backtracking, certainly the white house has stumbled over

the green revolution and more in the current memory, because it was in the nine monday -- part of nafta was essentially saying, everybody in the world should be growing what they grow best, and selling that, and as its happens, no one grows corn better than the united states. that is no one grows more corn than the united states. and mexicans who rely on corn as a staple and who grew most of it themselves in the form of agriculture that is sustainable and was in fact largely supported to some extent by government policy, mexicans were forced to choose between buying locally grown well-grown corn for their tortillas at three times the price of corn that was import from the united states or not. the upshot was that many mexican farmers were forced to sell or girl up their lands and free north, looking for work, or to wait for the united states or other countries to establish factories in mexico where labor costs are lower so that people could find work, form are farmers could find work. this has been a tremendous transformation and our closest neighbor and o in way our klose natural ally

a year later, nafta was signed. what he was really talking about here was a term that i think only entered our public discourse five or six years ago, but can be explained as kind of a conception by which everyone is truly interconnected and not in an economics phase, but in a cultural, educational, his nurse, economic, whatever, we are global citizens of one global community. to that end, supranational, transnational institutions, like nafta, nato, the u.n., et cetera, ought to be empowered and emboldened even if at the expense of the traditional conceptions of national sovereignty. so i think already here, went george h. w. bush gives his speech in 1990, you start to see that there was a problem with fusionism, specifically the problem with fusionism already that we see at that point. fusionism was highly successful insofar as it led to the reagan presidency. for the time and place at which it existed, it ended up being a very successful political, strategic, tactical coalition. you got people who hated russia on

west virginia, when you go back to the old nafta, we started seeing immigration and usually after that and it has continued since. we have to look at the laws and how we enforce them. with carbon capture and sequestration, cecil is absolutely correct on that. i am for innovation, not elimination. many of our lawmakers in washington, we have many people who believe, just quit using fossil fuels. that will take care of the problem. it is called global climate not west virginia climate, not north american climate, global climate. there is more coal being used today than ever before. it is not receding. we have to entice them to use technology which we should be developing and manufacturing in america, preferably in west virginia. that is who we are. talk to the head of the international energy agency, he will tell you, if you want to clean up the climate, if you want to help mother earth, then you better advance captain carper sequestration and utilization that carbon capture and sequestration and utilization. we just haven't found a value for the carbon that we are extracting. >> pres. r

. >> we have successfully completed negotiations on a brand-new deal to terminate and replace nafta.so republicans did break with some corporate preferences on trade policy. but lately they're making all this noise about attacking corporations that take just any position they oppose like on voting rights or diversity. and some of the republicans loudest anti-corporate moves, it really boils down to politicians trying to tell companies, well, they shouldn't speak out against voter suppression or against the republican party, which matches the internal memo advising the party pick corporate fights over this alleged wokeness. >> we have seen the rise of the woke corporation. these woke corporations have decided to become the political enforcer for democrats in washington. >> it means cancel culture and partisan activists are coming for your business. they're coming for your game or event in your hometown and they're coming to cancel everything from sports to how you make a living. >> sounds scary. but what is this really about? this matters if it is going to be a new turf war, particula

the jobs eroding, what you lost a lot and when you go back to the old nafta, we saw a migration immediately after that it's continued ever since. we have to look raat tax codes and how we enforce them. carbon capture the question, cecil is correct on. i'm for innovation, not elimination. we have many of our lawmakers in washington and many people who just quit using fossils. that will take care of the problem . it's called global climate, not north american employment, its global imclimate and there's more fossil fuel being used in the world than ever before and it's not receiving. they're going to use whatever fuel they have in their backyard. we have to entice them to use new technology which we should be manufacturing and in america, preferably in west virginia. that's who we are but the bottom line, talk to the doctor. the head of the international energy agency. he'll tell you if you want to clean up the climate, if you want to help mother earth then you'd better advance carbon capture the quest ration and utilization. we know that we can do it commercially, we just haven't found how w

i am talking about something like scrapping nafta, something that democrats have talked about doing fort is well joe biden actually offer things that republicans want as proposed? in other words, i am not saying joe biden says i want to spend 5 trillion and you want to spend 2 trillion, siletz and 3.5 trillion's. i am saying will he say something like you know what? i agree with you. we do need to have another 200 miles of border wall. will he say something like you know what? i actually do think that we need to reduce late-term abortions in this country. will he say something that is an actual republican priority the way that president trump did and offered me a democrat priorities? that is something to look at very closely. >> john: if he said either one of those things, a lot of republicans would fall off the chair tonight. we didn't know he is going to propose his american families plan. integration will also form a platform tonight. when you are offering free community college to people who are in the country illegally, does not serve as more polls for people to come up from those
