however, the laws of the united states apply beyond the middle of the covert. >> the law of the unitedtates, the law is a border patrol member and the instruction from the united states is very serious, do not shift ill and funnel non-dangerous, no threat your safety. that's us law and its us law that governs the conduct of the border patrol police. so i don't understand all this about mexico. if the united states law is cooperating on the united states officials whose acting in the inside the united states, this space has as far as the conduct is concerned, the united states is written all over it. there's nothing about mexico. the border patrol guard doesn't take these borders from mexico. >> and i think it would be up to the united states to prosecute. >> if they were to choose to do so, which would provide a remedy to the participation, the rest is in order. >> why, it wouldn't get any atmosphere for the death of a 15-year-old son. for their emotional suffering. i think i have following up on what justice ginsburg is saying, a more fundamental question which is i don't believe you

but he read accounts from the newspapers in the united states. these accounts are really significant. marti saw that the civil war had not healed the wounds that after reconstruction there were vicious attacks on blacks in the south. raids -- he doesn't use the word ku klux klan but he uses words similar. this is covered in the press. there is one essay that only became available in print recently. it was sent to a paper in mexico. it is an account from 1892. it has three depictions of life for blacks in the united states. one is african-americans who are fleeing to liberia because of how things were going for them in the united states. there is another somewhat curious one about the cakewalk. and the cakewalk is a peculiar north american tradition. this is a story about a cakewalk in the north in new york city. the cakewalk was an event in which african-americans were encouraged to strut, perform movements before a white public and the reward was a cake. there is an expression in english it is a cakewalk and i never understood that till this even

in 1939, the united states ss st. louist the stock in our country, sending over 900 jewish refugees back to europe where many died in concentration camps. after that tragic failure in the united states, after we turned our back on the jewish refugees , the uniteder states examined is conscious. it came up with a new approach. it was bipartisan. since world war ii, the american people were to set an example for the world by accepting refugees. listen to the swedbank excepted and made part of america. europeans,0 eastern close to 400,000 vietnamese refugees fleeing the vietnam war. approximately 650,000 cuban refugees after castro came to power. mr. president, that may note that of the four hispanic united hades senators today, three trace their roots to this given migration to the. in their families were refugees. this it on the floor of the senate representing some of our great state. yes, with this president, he is using them and all of to ignore this history. we have accepted over 100,000 soviet jews who were escapin

the united states. , and their families fame -- were refugees. they sit on the floor of the senate representing some of our great states, and yet with this president, he is asking them and all of us to ignore this history . we have accepted more than 150,000 refugees from the former yugoslavia. over 100,000 soviet jews who are escaping the persecution of their religion, looking for freedom they came to the united states. some argued that spies who are hostile elements could be hidden amongst them. think about the hundreds of thousands who came from communist controlled cuba into the united states. were they subjected to extreme vetting? no. they were people who said that they were coming here looking for freedom and we opened our , doors and they have made us a better country because of it. the united states was not frightened by the fear mongers when it came to these refugees joining us in the united states. we shouldn't be today. let's be clear, refugees coming to our country this day, are the most car

that's the rate the united states charges trade with the rest of the world. mexico has a slightly higher rate, 8%. so the united states exports to mexico would hurt more than mexican exports to the united states and on agriculture goods, the vat 20%. this outcome would hurt the united states more than mexico in terms of exports. finally mexico made it clear that will respond to any u.s. import taxes with taxes of its own on trade. my final comment, month productively mexico is also aggressively playing the china card. we have heart numbers that imports from mexico into the united states contain 40% u.s. content, china only 4%. mexico is using that fact with the trump administration. but mexico also realizes that united states needs it to remain globally competitive. if the united states want to reduce trade deficit with china it needs to trade with mexico because we produce things together and produce things competitively together. finally, if taxes are imposed on trade with mexico, that's not going to lead jobs back to the united states. it leads the jobs to

it's the united states law operating on the united states official who is acting inside the united stateshis case has, as far as the conduct is concerned, united states written all over it. there's nothing about mexico. the border patrol guard doesn't take his orders from mexico. >> and then i think it would be up to the united states to prosecute mr. mesa criminally if they were to choose that if they were to choose to do so, which would provide a remedy to the petitioners. >> why? they wouldn't get any damages for the deat the death of the 1d son for their emotional suffering. but i think i have come following up on what justice ginsburg is saying, a more fundamental question, which is i don't think you are the u.s. government is suggesting that anyone is condoning people standing at the border and taking potshots at passing mexicans. >> absolutely not. >> all right. and yes, there's a remedy, criminal remedy for the government to vindicate its position, but why should there not be a civil remedy to ensure that border police are complying with the constitution? either under the fourth o

in the united states for nearly 15 years and because he wrote so much about the united states and a ery crucial time, the aftermath of the civil war, reliving events of that, great emigration coming into the united states, the exploration of the west, pushing indians off their lands come all this is part of the landscape of the united states that jose marti wrote about. and race is a big part of that. race is also important because marti who wanted to get cuba free from spain, that didn't happen until after the spanish-american war of 1898, realized that for cuba to succeed as the republic, a free nation, blacks and whites needed to work together and it needed to be a cuba for all. and one of the things i realized in researching what marti wrote about the united states is that the lessons about race in the united states informed his desire to see a graceless cuba that was open and available for everybody. so in one sense he experienced the united states helped him develop a more comprehensive view of what cuba should be. he comes in 1880. he's awa a way for approximatelx months in ve

i don't think we can change the complexion of the united nations. of that i tell my friends here and in canada, none of that is an excuse for western leaders, for the leaders of our countries not standing up for what is right and is in our own interests and defending one of our most vital allies, the state of israel. i will also say this. that notwithstanding the worsening atmosphere at the united nations, what was said earlier tonight, below the radar, there are a greater and greater number and depth of bilateral relations between israel and a growing number of countries around the world. that is real success. it will eventually turn that and i think the present government of israel deserves a lot of compliments for that success. >> we heard that earlier today speaking to leaders of africa who are setting up with summits with israel and moving on a number of fronts. just one place. in your view, you are freed from the burden of leadership so you can say whatever you want, right? >> that's what journalists always tell you. >> you just have a few fri

last year they returned 240,000 bound for the united states. but the rhetoric sundayirroundi has tested mexican's patience. aggressive immigration law was bad enough for the u.s.-mexico elements but also a provision for nonasylum seekers to await their hearings back in mexico. mexico went ballistic, and made it clear they will never -- on what mexico must do. this matters because beyond poisoning the climate between the kellie tillerson meeting which was designed to reduce tensions, it complicates the deportation procession. mexicos foreign minister has been calling for mexico to strike back to the united states by refusing to except any deport ee unless they can prove he or she is mexican. the united states would be forced the turn them back, the mexican government has expressed zero interest in doing this however if the united states insists upon forcing mexico to accept non-mexican citizens, they will be forced to check all the papers all of those sent back across the border and reject mexican citizens, who don't have paperwork, and thereby c

the united nations is the one forum in the world that includes everybody.he good, the bad, and the ugly. and, you know, when the vast majority of members of the united nations don't subscribe to what we would consider as basic human rights, it's hard to imagine how their human rights council could come to decisions that we would find as democratic nations terribly pleasing. but look, it is outrageous. it is outrageous that -- just one example, i know others know these things, outrageous that in the united nations human rights council, the one and only country in the world that is the subject of a permanent agenda item is israel. one of the freest nations in the world by any standards. yet there is virtual hero worship there. for western leaders for the leadsers of our country not standing up for what is right and in our own interests and defending one of our most vital allies, state of israel. i will also say. this that notwithstanding the worsening atmosphere at the united nations, what was said earlier tonight, below the radar there are a greater and grea

i believe the bonds between the united states and israel are unbreakable. d we can never let anyone drive a wedge between us. our bonds are rooted in our shared history and are strengthened by the ties between our peoples. and in the words of shimon peres, whose loss we mourn so deeply, for israel's existence, we need the friendship of the united states of america. and of course, he knew that feeling goes both ways. and there's no question that friendship and our partnership must be unwavering. [ applause ] and i believe that israel must be -- the teleprompter has stopped, and now i'm going to catch it back up. there we are. i believe israel should never be a partisan issue. and as long as i'm a united states senator, i will do everything in my power to ensure broad and bipartisan support for israel's security and right to self-defense.

leadership from the united states is crucial at this juncture. sure that a comprehensive agreement between the two parties is not imposed and oppose unilateral actions by either of the two parties that would push the prospects for peace further out of reach. to that end, we stand ready to help facilitate an environment that fosters the resumption of direct peace negotiations between the israelis and palestinians in order to achieve a viable, lasting and mutually agreed-upon two-state solution. sincerely. it was organized by david price and jerry conley, signed by 191 members of congress, 189 democrats.

it is not unique to the united states. there are people that are anti-free-trade or people opposed to the tpp in all of the tpp patients. we have to address those politics just as you do. when you negotiate a deal, i think your own people would assume you have the best deal. deal, don't have the best renegotiating with one or two countries is sometimes possible. renegotiating with 11 other countries when there is someone else that might want to play in this ballpark is just unlikely. highly unlikely. that there is domestic opposition potentially in australia for free-trade, but seemingly the governments of parties have overcome that -- how did those in the u.s. that believe in free trade defined the merits to the populists that might not be seeing it? amb. hockey: means the end of the day cheaper and ports, cheaper components, but u.s. exports go into the fastest growing region around the world without a ball and chain on their leg. that is unfair taxes on their exports. currently, vietnam has no restrictions on the intelle
