stephen miller cites an economist that studied the large influx of cuban immigrants into south florida during 1980. local wages dropped as much as 30% among high school dropouts as a result of the influx, but a rival study disputes that. labor economist david card, now at cal berkeley, says he studied a bigger sample of low skilled workers and card found almost no effect on local wages and unemployment after the immigrant influx. borhoss is a conservative, card is a liberal and you could chalk up their differences to ideology but the cato institute decided to examine the work. they founding a net wage increase for native born workers in south florida's largest city, miami, after the immigrant influx. now they are defending the d.r.e.a.m.ers program warning that it would cut tax revenues by $280 billion over ten years. whatever the case, the trump administration is calling for a sea change in america's immigration policy based on a premise that just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. the truth is that low skilled immigrants continue to work jobs that most americans don't want to do. whether

so fairly quiet here in south florida but certainly not for long for donald trump. back to you. >> the storm awaits. all right, hallie, thank you. >>> this morning a last-minute announcement from the irs could hurt homeowners that are looking to get ahead of that new tax bill. it puts a new $10,000 limit on the amount of state and local taxes that people can deduct from their income. after the agency said people can pay their 2018 property taxes in advance only if the bills had been assessed within 2017. and with only two business days left in the year, it could cause even more confusion for taxpayers. the governors of new york and new jersey signing executive orders requiring their state offices to collect early tax payments that have already been asse assessed. while major cities like san francisco and los angeles say they are not allowing any prepayments of property taxes and they cite their inability to generate the bills in time. this as we get word that homeowners have already been lining up to get a head start in paying their property taxes before the new law

the university of south florida was one target of this pressure. he was born and bred in china is a u.s. citizen. and in south florida with the confucius institute. with the campuses worldwide. in the fbi and other western intelligence agencies tend to regard them as havens for spies. they suspected him of a spine for china and they wanted to turn him into a double agent. he got in trouble for various trends or aggressions from express expense accounts. with the content on his university computer. the fbi agent then went to them and basically said he could lose his tenure for the financial transgressions or they could keep it. they would persuade the university to not conspire with him. as this went along the fbi even ask florida to set up a branch campus in china where he could use it. it plays out an interesting one highlight of the reporting process was my legal battle with the fbi which i like to tell you about. one tactic that i used together information was to send public record request to state universities asking for their communications wi
