caller: i am puerto rican. the problem i have, we are not enforcing the laws. that is why people are coming here. there are no repercussions for anyone. the employers should be responsible and liable for hiring people illegally. it is all about the cost. everyone else's wages go down and that is a problem for everyone. that is where the hate kicks in. this country is full of immigrants. the flow that we have coming in now is out of control and we need to do something about that. that is the bottom line. guest: i agree. we need immigration reform. it is our fault that we do not have immigration reform. that we havelt created many situations that cause these problems. we are a great country. it is a country that is like a magnet. everybody wants to come. we have to have some professional ways of dealing with it. ways that we can deal with it in a humane way. especially with children. i do not have all of the answers. together, we can come up with solutions if we will work together. unfortunately, we are not getting the cooperation. i do not see many efforts being

right here nearby in long island, they just edged out puerto rican, it is the largest group. salvador is fleeing in large part, districtly -- directly due to these policies. >> nicaragua is not well-represented in part because of a government that we opposed there has been engaged with policies that have helped poor people in those communities. >> and you know we're also talking about the kind of training that occurs in the military or the countries. all u.s. funded, u.s.-led. now the concern is, not only about whether or not the governments of those countries are actually now going after how they believe to deal with gang violence is to actually become the killer. there's a forest that's been known, the black, dark shadow. and they too, government-funded, are now also terrorizing i don't think people. >> again, never have any time, you just said something i don't to want lee on. when you said the gangs, you did the air quote, i think it's important to recognize when we hear gang violence, this is not a u.s. context. just briefly help us understand how the gang violence these
