undocumented workers will do more. >> we know the main driver of illegal immigration across the texas border, arizona, california, whatever, is the ability to work, but we don't have the tools to support the border with effective worker requirements and prosecution tools against employers. so when you think about immigration reform, that's why all these things go together. it is a system. >> warner: south carolina republican lindsey graham-- another member of the group of eight-- said he sees a different obstacle to comprehensive reform. one that was thrown up last time by democrats. >> here's the friction point. temporary workers are needed in the future, a legal source of labor for american employers. do you agree with that? >> yes, that concept is one i can agree with. >> and the goal is not to displace an american worker you can only get a temporary worker when there's no american available at a competitive rate. >> well, the devil is in the details. you've got to have appropriate protections for american workers and indeed for workers who are coming in to work. >> reporter: the committe

there is a supply side to it as well and the supply side is this, the texas border in mexico and in central and american as i said fertility rates are falling, they're falling very fast. within 20 years it is likely that none of the country's south of the border will have a utility rate over the replacement rate. historically, countries that have the lowest replacement fertility do not spend. it's already the country's far below the replacement and you say this with mexico they've done great work on this it's either just that one of the utility replacement rate and we have the zero migration from mexico and some of it is certainly having to do with the great recession but the demographers believe this is the beginning of the rearrangement in our immigration relationship with mexico to such a large degree it is almost beside the point with ever consensus we come to in america. build a fence, don't build a fence, have amnesty, don't have amnesty. we aren't calling to have people coming across the border from south america anyway, and at that point we are in a different sort of bickel. >> host

real estate business and took over 55% of the mexican territory, texas, california, utah, parts of utah and a bunch of other states. the border has been a concern for us in texas for many years. the issue is how do ewe secure the border? i think the gentleman was right, for anybody who comes in with a simplistic view that if you put a fence up it will secure the border, we have to look beyond that. we're just talking about the fence we built that we spent millions -- billions of dollars on the fence two young ladies climbed the fence in 18 seconds. this was the fence that we spent billionings of dollars on. we've got to be smart on how we secure the border. one mile of fence will cost at least the numbers we were given in the committee years ago, $7.5 billion per mile. one mile of technology will cost about $1 billion per mile. is we have to be smart about huh how we secure the border. but you're right, 40% of the individual didn't cross the river but came in through -- on visas. so you can put the biggest fence and still not control the issue. when we spend millions of -- billions of dollars we have to understand, are we get
