but certainly there are a number of immigrants moving from central and south america through mexico. in fact,, some of the efforts for -- from mexico is they have pushed some of the flow of drugs offshore and are looking for alternate routes. in the pacific. so they have done more. it requires time and resources, some of which the united states can provide in terms of expertise and technology. host: the next question is what does mexico do to illegals she asks? guest: i'm not sure i can answer with a high degree of certainty. it depends on the country they are coming from and the status the mexican government has with that country. i'll give an example. when we had a significant frob problem of what we called catch and release where we would apprehend non-mexicans at the mexican border. we could not send them to mexico because they were not mexican citizens and it was often a cumbersome problem to arrange transportation for those people back, so they were often given, and there was lack of detention space, too, in the 2005 time frame, so they were often releaseed with a notice to app

a number of years ago, in south america, there was a lot of unemployment in our country because of the modern machinery. so to get these people back to work, they stopped using the modern machinery and got the people back to work in the fields. that is the only thing that is going to save our country, reversed technology, reverse engineering. i will wait for your comment. host: did you want to respond? guest: well, having a job with us the state income is very important to not only -- weitita sustained and tom is very important to not only staying out of bankruptcy. host: you can see a lot of for- rent signs, and many businesses either moved out or went bankrupt. if you do go back and you want to start up business in a year or two, how difficult is it to do in a year or so? guest: well, it is not easy, but it can be done. you mentioned a strip malls, and larger businesses, hotels, office buildings, which need to be refinanced periodically have trouble accessing credit in the tighter credit markets. we see a rise in bankruptcies on the commercial side as well. a lot depends on the abili

which are multimillion dollar rigs, will be moved to other parts of the world, perhaps including south americaazil, maybe off of africa. and they will never come back. when they leave, we lose the jobs that are now held by americans that work on the rigs. we lose the jobs of all the people that work on the supply chips -- the supply ships and all of the steel manufacturing and everything associated with that industry. your point about mr. soros an illustrates the point that we have a lot at stake. we have american jobs, the american economy at stake, and if we act irrationally, if we enact an overly broad moratorium, not based on things like the weather -- not based on things like whether or not a given oil well is safe, there are long-term consequences for jobs and america and the economy as a whole. host: representative john shadegg, thank you for being here. when we come back, we'll talk with ed schultz, msnbc anchor and the author of this book called "killer politics." we will be back to talk to him, but first, a news update from c- span radio. , coming upon 9:15 here in pashington, d.c. s

i cannot believe there's a country in europe, in asia, in africa, in south america or on the north american continent that would not say that if you breach this blockade that we have in place for our own security, we will confront you and stop you. but that blockade exists for a reason. to keep weapons out of the hands of hamas, a terrorist organization dicated to the destruction of israel and to random attacks on israeli civilians. mr. wiener has been pointing out the map. probably most of us on this floor have be to the town. some of us have been in the gym that is an armed camp where is the only safe place for the children to play. some have been with me. the attack on israeli civilians has continued without abatement. i don't mean that it hasn't lessened from time to time, but never has there been a time when israelis felt that the violence was concluded, because hamas has made it clear that it will not conclude. hamas dedicated to the destruction of the israel and the random attacks on israeli civilians. the blockade was launched with the cooperation of israel's neighbor egypt when ham

south africa, and that is the information septre attached to our embassy, the u.s. embassy. they were going to close it down because, they said, the cold war was over. so i took 100 of america's best and loved films that they love all offer the world, that shows our principles, our values, our beliefs, and our humanity because everyone is influenced by our movies. and i also want to say, madam speaker, that as our image has been tarnished, i felt that our movies really who portray them, the classic movies and the people who starred in those movies who have a star in the walk of fame could be recognized in another country and help improve our image. so i would hope that all members , madam speaker, recognizing that they represent the people of america and the members here will vote to support an industry that really speaks to the world about our principles, our great talents, and our art and speaks proudly and distinctly to the rest of the world. so i would hope that we would have really on a unanimous vote on celebrating this resolution, the walk of fame. i have no other speakers, madam speaker, and so at this point i will yield back the balance of my time. . and i will reser

america, for a few western european countries and japan. our competition now is all of the countries of europe, japan, south korea, china, malaysia, india, singapore, australia, brazil. the rest of the world. if we can have a government as i write in this book, while other countries are going pedal to the metal and starting to lap us so we need to have that competitive spirit and they do have a winning energy game plan in here. another thing about sports, no one ever goes to a game, no one pays to watch officials officiate. you don't go there to say gosh i hope that zebras figure out to-- who will win this game but too often in washington may come up with manipulations and burdens and nanny government regulations that impede the flow and whether it is our complicated tax code or this most recent health care monstrosity that-- what we want is not people to be dependent on the government. we want folks to be responsible for themselves and have more affordable personalized importable health care options, which i talk about in here, in my book. another chapter is defense wins championships. everyone talks about defense runs-- wins championships. defen

in the 1860s, as war raged between north and south, abraham lincoln worked to realize another vision that would unify america from east to west. how did lincoln and congress, immersed in civil war, manage to build a railroad spanning the american continent? performance-based government bonds, extensive grants of government-owned land, and competition among the major rail companies. traveling across the united states used to require a journey of several months. after the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, it could be done in a single week. public action, private investment. same principle. -- this same principle motivated one of the great educational achievements in our history -- the establishment of land grant colleges and universities. again, public-private the -- public property. the morrill act of 1862 transferred a total of 11.5 million acres of federal land to the states to establish educational institutions. together with an expansion of this effort in 1890, these land grants broadened access to higher education just as the demands of a rapidly industrializing society called for more hig

south. and let's talk about a trickle up effect. you shut this oil drilling down in the gulf. this is going to eventually start trickling up through out america. it's going to hurt louisiana for sure. going to kill us. but we have to plug that hole. get our people back to working again. and i do have to mention something right quick, i know a lot of the press makes it seem as though all of our seafood is ruined. i do have to say that 70% of our seafood we are still producing it now. the people around the country need to know that we are still -- we're still able to produce 70% of good, good, clean, safe, seafood. and the 30% that we're not produce degree, you know some of those areas that are closed off are precautionary. so i just want to make sure that people know that, that all of our seafood is not ruined. >> larry: james carville, did he, did he, did he not say anything you wanted him to say? >> look, i thought that he alluded to the coastal restoration and that is the clear thing the not just to clean up. we have got to restore the coastline there. he said he was committed to making the gulf better. so, i take it from there. i hope that

america and europe are. there some teams from other parts of the world that we could keep an eye on, africa, asia. >> well, of course south africa because they are hosting. no nation has ever not made it out of the initial other group to go to the next round so will south africa be able to do that, and with the tie today maybe that's a good boost for them. asia has never there are three countries from asia in this tournament, ray. and again i just don't see that they have the, right now, the juice, you know, to go further. but this is a global game and the hope would be that especially fueled by nationalism which david eluded to, this is what that is about. and that is why the united states will i think care very much because it's a tiddley winks or whatever is, if the u.s. playing against somebody especially tomorrow with england, my goodness, what a story line that is. but i think that, yeah, some day the u.s. will make it to the finals. the world cup. i don't know if we will be allowed to see it. >> suarez: but a loss to england tomorrow wouldn't mean that they can't advance the way this system works, right? >> exactly

america. now a debate between gresham barrett and nikki haley, who are running in the republican runoff election for south carolina governor. the winner of the runoff will face the democratic nominee in the general election. this is about 50 minutes. >> live from columbia, this is a special presentation -- the race for governor. >> good evening, and welcome to the gubernatorial runoff debate. >> we are glad to have you with us this evening. participating in this debate, gresham barrettand nikki haley. although this is co-sponsored by the league of women voters and the aarp, they have complete control over the questions asked. they will have one minute to answer each question, rebuttals, and follow-up questions. >> we are going to get right to the questions. we received an e-mail today from a registered republican of over 45 years and a retired army infantry officer. he is upset about one of your commercials that identified you as u.s. army retired and referred to you as a military man when you serve on active duty for and a half years and resigned more than 20 years ago. what do you say to him and other c

of south carolina serves as a member of the armed services committee in the house of representatives and he also has sons serving in the army and knows about the roles and responsibilities of america's military firsthand. you heard general petraeus' testimony urging patients. do you agree? guest: i do. i have the opportunity to visit the country nine times. i indeed have had -- i have fears sick -- i have four sonss in the military. and i have a nephew who just completed his service in iraq with the air force. in afghanistan, i have been there nine times. i have been there in particular visiting my former national guard unit, 218th brigade, so i know from personal serving their, led by general bob livingston, we have 1500 troops from south carolina who helped train the afghan police and army units. so, i'm very, very optimistic. host: what specifically makes you optimistic? senators yesterday were questioning all the press reports about, that being more intense than we anticipated and taking longer in some regions. guest: those are all legitimate concerns. i followed testimony and concerns expressed. but specifically, we are training the afghan police and army units. we are ahead --

america's security. by the way, i think it helps to serve china's interests and south korea's interests.it rather than set it up as a rivalry -- rather than set it up as a rivalry, rather than cede as this year's of it -- see it to do is to say there will always be there for japan. we will always be there for south korea. we're going to be a presence in the south pacific because we are a pacific nation as well as an atlantic 8 nation. but we want to partner -- atlantic nation. but we want to partner with all nations in the exchange of goods and ideas. asia is all -- obviously on the move. china is on the move. that should not be a threat to anybody. what we want to be sure of is that true dialogue, through forms like the g-20, through some of the multilateral institutions that we have set up that all countries that are meeting their responsibilities even as their rights barack also being recognized. if we adhere -- their rights are also being recognized. if we adhere to the basic principle, the u.s.-japan alliance is something that can continue to be a cornerstone of a peaceful and prosp

south carolina. >> about a year ago, there is a company in barnwell county that is north america's largest manufacturer of vending machines. they wanted to decide where they would consolidate. i was asked by the team to call this ceo of this company. we have an education system that is on the move and that would work with his employees if they chose south carolina. the day after i called, they chose south carolina. it is the first time anyone had called him for relocation decision. >> we will keep it going on in the stretch. >> in your economic development and jobs plan, you said smaller and rural counties cannot be left behind. you will create an infrastructure bank to provide funds. how do you plan to work them worker -- help the worker in marion county that was laid off? >> the key there will be the new department of workforce. the matching of employees to jobs is something that has not been done all that well. we have the opportunity to control this agency by appointing the director. the second thing that is key is the use of our technical college system. we have one of the best technical college s

bill clinton is in south africa making the case for the united states did. a lot of other figures from corporate america political america have gotten behind the bid. michael bloomberg is playing a big role. host: do you think the u.s. has a shot? guest: i do. the u.s. is the market soccer is trying to crack. they figure the world cup is the best way. it worked in 1994, the last world cup that we hosted. one of the pre conditions was that we would launch a domestic soccer league. it has been tremendously valuable to the game. it has produced some of our best players. host: calif., drew. caller: soccer is a great+ game, but your guest has failed to mention that south africa has a serious problem with child sex slavery. it is a significant issue. it is true that this opportunity for the world cup in south africa is a moment to reflect on all of the progress south africa has made in getting rid of apartheid, but my comment is that while it has great political implications, the guest is missing the larger picture. south africa's leadership, largely, middle class africans, but they are putting corporate -- t
