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

if the united states law is cooperating on the united states officials whose acting in the inside thenited 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 were the us government is suggesting that anyone is condoning. people standing at the border and taking pot shots at mexicans. >> absolutely not. >> yes, there's a remedy, a criminal remedy for the court to vindicate its position but why could there not be a civil remedy to ensure that border police are complying with theconstitution, the entire, either under the court system . >> wouldn't shoot

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

today we are talking about maybe 17,000 mexican students in the united states. and in terms of obstacles, i would say probably the biggest one has to do with funding. very difficult to afford an education in the united states unless you have one of those scholarships. i think that is going to be the biggest barrier for a young person in mexico to study her. host: you are half all along on your research, and what you hope when it is done that will happen with it? what you hope people get out of it? ms. newman: i am at the stage of writing up the research. i have done all the archival and interview work. now i am producing the chapters. i am hoping to eventually turn it into a book. i think that today we really have to think hard about the current climate of anti-mexican sentiment that is being promoted by the incoming administration. and the effects that could potentially have on not just mexican students but all mexicans thinking of coming to the united states, whether it is for work, for travel, to study. i think we could see some real changes going forward. so

he got on the last ship out of denmark before the united states entered the war. he was working in connecticut. he took part in the selective service act and was drafted in the united states service. his uniform as the united states soldier is shown here next to his german uniform. he basically ended up near the same place in france he had been as a german soldier two years before. the incredible feeling that he was there serving, he deserted, went to the united states and went back as united states soldier to serve with the american expeditionary services. to have both of these uniforms to survive and become part of the museum collection is a pretty interesting thing to have happened. as i mentioned earlier, the african-americans who served in the 92nd and 93rd, we will take a look at some of their men. equipment.their was thehe most famous 369th infantry regiment. they were known as the fighting rattlesnakes. you can see their shoulder sleeve insignia. they came from the 15th new york national guard and when the u.s. troops were federalized, they became part of t

rachel, your research is on mexican immigrants coming to the united states during the 20th century. ll us about who was coming and why and how they were able to do that. ms. cullison: actually mexican students started coming to thee united states from the 19th century. most of them came from elite mexican families who wanted the best education for their chosen. what started to change as the mexican government began to offer scholarships, and that opened up the possibility of studying in the united states to a broader group of students who came from middle-class backgrounds. host: they were offering scholarships to mexican students to study in the united states? ms. cullison: that's right. their own government supported them to study abroad. and they try to give them to the best students as a kind of reward for their academic merits, but absolutely social connections played a role. host: when did we start seeing large numbers of mexican students increase in terms of coming to the united states for their education? ms. cullison: the difference between rachel's research and minor she is

for the united states, that's 3%. 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, th

the 45th president of the united states accusing the 44th president of the united states personally tapping his phone and calling him sick. for people comparing this to the birther controversy, context is necessary. it is one thing when a reality tv star accuses a president of a sleazy conspir torial authority but when the president of the united states accuses another president, the context changes and it becomes dangerous. mika, "the wall street journal's" lead editorial today is fitting. washington goes nuts. >> yeah. >> is its headline. right off the top, they say we have reached a point where basic questions about u.s. institutions and trust in government are now at stake. there is a full fledged war now between the president, past presidents, the intel community, the fbi. >> and media. >> the fbi trying to get the justice department to condemn these lies. the justice department in the hands of jeff sessions and the president of the united states refuse to go condemn these lies so far. just -- we are in crisis. >> yeah. an administration that has lost all credibility at this point. let

we the germans owe a lot to the united states of america, particularly as regards the economic rise of germany. this was primarily due to the help through the marshall plan. we were also able to regain german unity after decades of the united states standing up for this together with other allies and standing by our side during the period of the cold war. and we are very gratified to know that today we can live in peace and freedom as a unified country due to that. so i was gratified to know that the president has aligned how important he thinks nato is. nato is a prime importance for us and it was without very good reason that we said during our summit meeting in wales that also germany needs to increase expenditure. we committed to 2% goal until 2024. last year we increased our defense spending. and we are going to work together again and again on this. we said that obviously defense and security has a lot of different assets and facets to it. on the one hand it's supporting missions in africa, for example. it's also promoting development assistance. it's also helping missions in afr

the united states is deeply involved through the region. israel is america's staunchest ally in the middle east and one of our closest friends on the world stage. the united states has had the will to continue to have a special relationship with israel, and our country will continue to protect and aid vis to help secure -- israel to help secure her survival. i believe a qualitative military edge is necessary for the safety of israel and i've always voted to support military aid. i have also been a strong supporter of the two-state solution, a peaceful resolution between israel and the palestinian people would help heal the source of many of the insecurities facing israel. but peace as eluded israel and the palestinians for decades. mutual distrust runs deep and tensions are high between israel and many of its neighbors. for all these reasons, the ambassadorship to israel is one of the state department's most important diplomatic posts, and one of the most sensitive. since israel became a nation, the post has been held by 18 of some of the mo

nafta has been a disaster for the united states. it is been a disaster for companies and in particular, i disaster for the workers. a lot of the companies have moved. but the workers are probably the reason i am standing here. number one, that and maybe the military, building up our military, which we will do and we will be stronger than ever before, and hopefully not have to use it. but we will be stronger and perhaps far stronger than ever before. but it is probably the reason i am here, when you talk about trade. i think we will be a very different country. i think we will have great values. but in terms of our military, it will be much stronger and our trade deals are going to be good, solid deals. not deals that lead to closing plants and tremendous unemployment. ok? thank you. chancellor merkel: when you speak about trade agreements and the european union and negotiating those agreements for all the members of european union, there is also input by the states that bring to the table things that are important to them. we have al

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

states. i want to express my appreciation to the leaders in iraq. the united states welcomes this kind of close cooperation with countries in every region of the world. we share our commitment to national security. this revised order will bolster the security of the united states. now, we have spent the morning briefing the congress, the continue to talk with key stakeholders this afternoon. experts from the department of theland security, department of justice and our department hosted a hour-long call with the media on this topic this morning. our collective teams will continue to follow-up with the congress, the media and stakeholders to answer your questions. i will now turn to the attorney general for his comments. thank you mr. secretary. one of the justice department's pop -- top priorities is to protect the united states from threats to our national security. i want to discuss two points. first, the national security basis of this order and second, the department of justice possible in defending the lawful orders of the president of the united states.

we, the germans, owe a lot to the united states of america, in particular the economic rise of germany. this was primarily done through the help of the marshal plan, also able to regain anonymity after the united states standing up together with other allies and standing by our side during the period of the cold war and we are very gratified to know that today we can live in peace and freedom as a unified country, so i was impressed of to hear how important the president believes germany is, also germany needs to increase its expenditure we commit today this 2% goal until 2024, last year we increased our defense spending by 8% and we're going to work again on this and we said that obviously defense and security has as a lot of different assets and facets to it. on the one hand it's supporting missions in africa, also promoting development assistance but helping missions in africa for example trying to sign up for their own safety an security. we continue to be in conversation. what was important for us today was that we were able to talk about afghanistan, talk about as the president q

the government deficit in the united states to $207 billion. it is estimated to be about $200 billion for the next two years. funding the u.s. deficit he reported, would require the united states to bar about $660 billion in the years 1984-1980 six. the reagan financial buildup was in short, crowding east germany out of global capital markets. in such an environment, leadership had one option, quote, the long-term high interest rate policy of the u.s. makes it necessary to reduce the total borrowing of the gdr through the creation of export surpluses. trying to achieve and export surplus may sound like an innocuous policy goal, but for the debtor nations of the 1980's, it was fraught with political and social implications. export surpluses most often had to be achieved through drastic reductions in imports and the imposition of domestic austerity. on the orders of the international monetary such austerity programs occurred throughout the global south, most prominently in latin america during the 1980's. political revolution usually in the form o

leadership from the united states is crucial at this juncture. ust ensure 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. [cheers and applause] i want to read you the letter directly, because i wanted you to hear it as written, not out of context. and i wanted to read it to you in the spirit of strong support for a jewish, secure, and democratic israel. an israel that recognizes the dignity and the security of both the palestinians and the israelis. that, that is the israel we know and love, as friends, allies and advocates for israel. that is the future we must

so specifically what can the united states do? an the ambassador for the united states do to hold countries accountable to, as you said, don't -- to address the fact that many of them don't have america's back at the u.n.? >> you want to see my list, don't you? >> we only have a little bit of time, but, you know -- >> basically what it comes down to is i'm not there to play and what i wanted to make sure of was that the united states started leading again and -- [ applause ] >> leading isn't saying and doing things when it's comfortable, leading is saying and doing things when it's not comfortable. so the goal was have the backs of our allies. never again do what we saw happen with resolution 2334 and make anyone question our support. [ applause ] >> when resolution 2334 happened and the u.s. abstained, the entire country felt a kick in the gut. we had just done something that showed the united states at its weakest point ever. never do we not have the backs of our friends. we don't have a greater friend than israel. and to see tha

it is not just about the united states. erything from the summer of 1914 to the peace treaty of june 1919. our collection is the most comprehensive collection of world war i materials in the world. it is not the largest, but it is comprehensive, in that we do deal with all nations involved in the war. in the museum, when you are going to the exhibition, you see about 10% of the museum collection at one time. the rest we use for research, references, loans to other institutions, and just to make sure we have an encyclopedic collection of the war. when we are teaching about the history of it, we want to cover everything. where i am standing right now is in front of a wall that depicts the various shoulder sleeve insignia worn by the american expeditionary forces in world war i. these were used to identify the units and to create a feeling of belonging to a particular unit. our visitors are fascinated with the shoulder sleeve insignia but they were not really worn until after the war. the only time you see insignia on the unifo

welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from new york. we'll begin today's show with the latest on the swirling allegations about trump's inner circle and its relations with russia. what is going on? plus, north korea, china, isis, all that with two former national security advisers, tom donealin and steven hadley. and the president's immigration plan. he told americans it would save billions of dollars. really? we'll crunch the numbers. also, has the storied american dream been taken over by the canadian dream? walt author scott gilmore claims the dream has moved up north and he has the figures to back it up. then big data and the elections. did all that information that facebook collect but help donald trump win the election? we'll explore. >>> and now here's my take. the first time i met general david petraeus he said something that surprised me. it was the early days of the iraq war, and i asked him whether he wished he had more troops. now, petraeus was too politically savvy to cri

plotting attacks in the united states. the f.b.i. has been preoccupied with violent extremists from inside the united states, who are inspied by calls -- inspired by calls for mayhem. the justice department has prosecuted scores of islamic related case cases. another statement by president trump last nighter. quote, obamacare is collapsing, imploding obamacare disaster. end of quote. the a.p. writes, there are problems with the 2010 health care law, but whether it is collapsing is hotly disputed. one of the two major components of the affordable care act has been a spike in premiums and a drop in participation from insurers. but the other component, equally important, seems to be working fairly well even if it's caused our concern. trump and congressional republicans want to repeal the whole thing which risks leaving millions of people uninsured if the replace placement plan has shortcomings. some say it is making things worse by creating uncertainty about the future. the two arms of the program, the obamacare program, reac

[applause] that is why the first resolution i cosponsored at the united states senator was to combat anti- israel bias to united nations and reaffirm that the united states state just as secure to state solutions. [applause] if someone who personally prosecuted a crimes, i also believe that we cannot stand by while anti-semitism, hate crime and bigotry are on the rise, whether that is a swastika on a jewish family and children services in san francisco, but the burning of a mosque in tampa. that is why i am pleased to announce for the first time. aipac, i'm introducing the senate resolution that condemns targeting of jews as well as any form of religious by bias, misogyny or other hateful acts targeting minorities across the united states. [applause] let's be candid, many, including those in this hall have been directly impacted by the outrageous incident targeting the jewish community. this violence and hate is alarming and simply unacceptab unacceptable. no one should have to worry about their children's safety when they drop them off. [applause] no one should have to be afraid to p

they wanted this to be a display of their capability that would threaten the united states, hurt the united states, humble the united states and make us see them as equals. right? they didn't want anybody else to get credit for this work. they didn't particularly want to cover their tracks here. they did this -- one of the things we had confirmed by the fbi and nsa director is that the russians did this in as loud of ways as possible in terms of how they mounted the attack. >> why do you think that they did not mind being loud and being found out? >> i don't know the answer for sure i think their number one mission is to compromise the nation and it might be that they wanted us to help them by telling people what they were doing. their loudness in a way would be counting on us to amplify it by telling the american people what we saw and freaking people out about how the russians might be undermining our elections. >> freaking people out. the russians didn't mind leaving their fingerprints all over this attack because they wanted to freak us out about what they are capable of. back in

the largest and most influential gathering of the friends of israel in the united states. lause] v.p. pence: and it is my great privilege to speak before you tonight on behalf of a true friend of israel, a courageous defender of freedom. the 45th president of the united states of america, president donald trump. [applause] v.p. pence: thanks to the sport of some any in this room, president trump won a historic victory. i'm here to pay a debt of gratitude to all you who helped elect the president who i know will make america great again. it is a particular honor for me to be with you tonight. my relationship with aipac spans more than a quarter of a century. it began with the mentoring it began with the mentoring roll of an indiana and back in 1988. when i arrived in washington, d.c. and continued through my friendship with marshall cooper and others in this great organization. during my tenure as a congressman, members of aipac were there, with friendship and support and prayers. [applause] v.p. pence: let me just say it is actually very hard for me to express before those

and that is why the first resolution i co-sponsored as a united states senator was to combat anti-israelias at the united nations and reaffirm that the united states seeks a just, secure and sustainable two-state solution. [ applause ] and, as someone who's personally prosecuted hate crime, i also believe that we cannot stand by while anti-semitism, hate crime and bigotry are on the rise, whether that's a swastika on a jewish children and families bus or the burning of a mosque in tampa. that's why for the first time at aipac, i am introducing a bill, against targeting minorities across the united states. [cheers and applause] and let's be candid. many, including those in this hall, have been directly impacted by the outrageous incidents targeting the jewish community. this violence and hate is alarming and simply unacceptable. [ applause ] no one should have to worry about their children's safety when they drop them off at the jcc. [ applause ] no one should have to be afraid to put a menorah in their front window or on their front lawn. [ applause ] and no one should ever have to fear

nafta has been a disaster for the united states. t's been a disaster for companies, and in particular is been a disaster for the worker. a lot of the company jusmod. the workers, despite the recent stand here. maybnumber one, that and maybe the military building up our military, which we will do and we will be stronger than ever before and hopefully not have to use it. but we will be stronger and perhaps far stronger than ever before but it's probably the reason i'm here he is when you talk about trade. so i think that we are going to be a very different country i think were going to be, we are going to have great values. but in terms of our military, it's going to be much stronger at our trade deals are going to be good, solid deals. not deals that lead to closing plants and tremendous unemployment. okay? thank you.

bilaterally and through the united nations. the united states provides 70% of support for the united nations high commission on refugees. the u.s. genuinely drives the global system. they project american ideals and protect american interests. all for less than 1% of the federal budget, all for 2% of national income. it's estimated some 6.# million syrians in fiscal 2015 were helped by the united states. that should be a benchmark for the future. it would be a genuine tragedy for the u.s. administration to lose faith in the value of humanitarian aid just as it's proving its worth. finally, the third choice is about refugee resettlement. last week's executive order reducing resettlement numbers is a stark message to syrians and to allies in the region, including i'm sorry to say iraqis who have worked with and risked their lives with and for the united states. the pause in the program, the uncertainty about its future is a gift for those who would argue that the united states will not help refugees in need if they happen to be muslim. that is not

especially in the united states. it has remained for historians a little known event that truth be told, i happened upon by chance. guided only by a vague interest in embarking on a topic set during the era of the american revolution. unlike the south pacific saga of the bounty, eight years earlier, the butchery aboard the ship in 1797 generated few heroics. the tale is not easily romanticized with little to watch captain bly's epic survival and the adventure odd've othe bookies crew. but the blood bath in puerto rico's passage did have profound consequences, consequences for the infant american public that continued to resonate today. was we all know resonate today. not withstanding the iconic goal of the american revolution, voiced by tom payne to an asylum for mankind. many in the united states, particularly members of the dominant federalist political party, had grown increasingly nativist during the 1790s with the lapping tide of xenophobia finally cresting were the congress passage of the alien acts in 1798. in

china and the united states have chosen different systems and development tasks. the chinese people have a great confidence in the social system and welcome efforts to build a better united states. in the age of progress and plurality, there are compelling reasons for china and the united states to respect each other. to live together peacefully, and related, development. secondly, we need to rise above the zero sum mentality. china and the united states have a growing set of common interests. the areas we need to work together on far outweigh our differences. in many ways, our interests are closely intertwined, so we should pull our interests rather than building one's success at the expense of the other because it is not possible. >> since china and the united states normalized diplomatic relations, the chinese people often say one should be able to stand firm and then reaching 41 should no longer have any one doubts. we hope china and the united states can truly rise above the ideas and open up new horizons and build a more robust and mature relationship as it t

the federal investigative agents , intelligence community, the department of state, the department of homeland security and the united states military report to the president, knowing that the president would best possess such extensive .nformation our founders wisely gave the executive branch the authority and the duty to protect the nation. this executive order is a proper exercise of that power. now i will turn things over to our secretary john kelly and the department of homeland security. >> thank you mr. attorney general. >> like the secretary of state and the attorney general, my comments will be relatively brief. last week the department of homeland security celebrated its 14th anniversary, first opening its doors on one march 9, 2003. this was in response to the devastating attacks of september 11. with foreign terraces -- terrorists turning a beautiful day into a nightmare. we could not take our nation's security for granted. homeland security must be our top priority. we need to overcome our collective inability to take and connect the dots of intelligence and arrange them into a more comprehensive picture

the issue of energy as well as cyber. i want to switch gears here. as you know or may not know, my home state of montana is one of the leading energy producing states in the united states. we have more recoverable coal than any state in the united states. montanans understand the access to reliable and affordable source of energy and so do historians. how dependent is your country on russia for its energy needs and what concerns does that raise? >> thank you, senator, for this question. i think acetone ya enjoins a rather different situation in the region is that we are not reliant on russian energy. the only energy that use or import from russia is gas, but it only forms about 7% of the total energy consumption. they're rely i can't on oil shale which we generate to produce electricity. so in that sense we are not really dependent on russia. but there is a bigger issue here, which is that as long as the region, the baltic region is still considered as an island inside the european union, then it's not a matter of how dependent acetos stone ya is. >> would the region be more secure if that dependence was on the united states instead of russia? >> well the united

the united states and ten times greater than median wealth for latinos in the united states. this is also true and britain. if you look at and a plenum, job status, accommodation, homicide, racial inequality and britain. these are highly unequal societies and they came to this project wanting to know how elites make sense of their competence and highly unequal society. and how to make sense of racial inequality in particular? i thought this would give us clues about how inequality gets perpetuated, how does social policies get past that continue to maintain this inequality. in particular, when inequality when it's highlighted and women know that the high rates of inequality how did people, especially those were the winners, make sense of our ideology of equal opportunity? i thought this would give us clues about how we might think about shifting the way we think and talk about race and class and achievements more accurately reflect our opportunity structure and the racial realities in our society. i decided to look on elite university campuses in particular because these are

after the attorney general of the united states the next person is the deputy us attorney general, thereere in the united states. this notion we should immediately jump this notion we should immediately jump toa this notion we should immediately jump to a special counsel, a special prosecutor, there are many more hurdles legally here in the united states that have not yet been existed. the big picture is the questions still lingering about donald trump's relationship with russia. what could the white house do to clear this up once and for all? i would have done this much earlier. president obama looked at this last december and said the russian government has had no influence on the outcome of votes that were cast in ballots counted in the united states. the notion that the united states. the notion that the russians influenced our election is false. i would have put president obama's statement out to deflect what is going on with president trump. thank you forjoining us there. while we are chatting about this. i want to talk more about it. if we dive into pictures. this is from tide wat

he's the president of the united states. he has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not. >> peter alexander joins us live from the white house. a lot to address there, peter. let's start with the last thing we just heard, what kellyanne conway said. do we know the basis of president trump's claims? is there some sort of intelligence the president received that would lead him to this conclusion? >> it's not clear but it refers back to what was in effect a conspiratorial rant that took place by mark levin, he was talking about what he described was a big scandal. take a listen to what levin said on thursday. >> we have a prior administration, barack obama and his surrogates, who were supporting hillary clinton and their party, the democrat party, who were using the instrumentalities of the federal government, intelligence activities, to surveil members of the trump campaign! >> reporter: in effect, this is the timeline of a conspiracy, that point made by mark levin was expected up by the conservative web site br

the united states. even though they will go without food, without regular electricity, they are told they have to tighten their belts to protect their national sovereignty. critics of the government say this is just a ploy by mr. kimtom stay in power just like his father and his grandfather before him. and so the propaganda will call it a huge fry up and show pictures of the missile and say north korea is defending itself against the number one enemy the united states and its allies. interestingly, i've been in the country during missile test failures. they're never acknowledged or reported inside the country. nobody knows it happened because the country is closed off from the outside world. there's no internet, no phone cause outside and just a little bit of media certainly doesn't get to the majority of the 24 million people who live there. >> i imagine these four missile tests will indeed be reported on north korean state television this evening. thanks to both of you for reporting on this important s

and we will probably never meet the demand of all the people that want to enter the united states. 100% agree. but that's where lawmakers come in, to make sure that the limits that we have in place make sense for the united states and for humanitarian reasons abroad as well. and that we set, you know, smart limits on these policies so that, you know, we can set, you know, an amount of people to come in that makes sense rather than sort of coming up with these arbitrary numbers that haven't really served any purpose in the past. >> heather, just to pick up on this theme, i wonder, isn't it fair to say that what might make sense for, for example, low wage employers might make sense from the perspective of taxpayers who are concerned about safety net benefits and what have you? >> if you want to see the future of the country if we retain the immigration status quo now, i invite you to go to my home state of california, because it is on the vanguard of the radical demographic change that has occurred thanks to what is virtually an open borders policy that favors mass low-skilled immigration

next, let me introduce alad who arrived in the united states last june. he was in the farming business of syria before fleeing to jordan. he was displaced for three years before being referred to the united states for resettlement. the international rescue community helped resettle him in maryland. thank you for being here. and finally, let me introduce sav ear and his wife who arrived into the united states in syria. he and his wife fled to egypt to escape the war where they remained for five years before being resettled in the international rescue committee in maryland. welcome. i am proud you are in the united states and particularly proud you are in my state of maryland. our state has embraced diversity and i believe our state is stronger because of the diversity we have. it is interesting, mr. chairman, and i will conclude on these remarks. when we look at maryland counties that surround d.c., two of the strongest counties into the united states, both have embraced diversity for decades and is a place in which we welcome democrats. mr. chairman, we ne

the european union and the united states. this is a clear message we should send to russia that minsk is the basic fundamental agreement that has to be fulfilled by all parties and as long as this is done, as long as this is not done, the sanctions should continue. >> if i may, senator, i would add as long as u.s. is strong on sanctions and we understand that is the strongest tool we have in our toolbox, that will unite europe also. >> u.s. leadership matters in this regard? >> yes. >> thank you. let me ask a question about energy. there's a rand corporation study that indicates estonia, latvia and lithuania and poland are among the eu members most vulnerable to a problem with energy if russia would take certain action. yet there's a 2014 european commission study that says there are cooperative measures among the eu that could reduce the impact of any short-term cutoff of supplies of energy. are those measures in place that are thought to reduce the implications of an energy cutoff? is the eu taking the steps necessary to mit

a renowned federal appeals court judge, former solicitor general of the united states, professor of law at yale university, and twice a partner in one of the nation's leading law firms, judge robert bork is uniquely qualified to sit on the united states supreme court. it is, therefore, my distinct honor and great pleasure to introduce to this distinguished committee, a man who, as chief justice burger noted, may well be the most qualified nominee to the supreme court in more than half a century. mr. chairman and members of this distinguished committee of the united states senate, i strongly urge affirmative committee consideration and favorable approval by the united states senate. thank you very much mr. , chairman. joe biden: thank you very much, mr. president. now, we will go to the senator minority leader, republican leader, senator bob dole. you are welcome -- i understand you have a very tight schedule, mr. president. do not feel required to stay. i mean, you are excused. senator deconcini: mr. chairman, i wonder if the chairman would indulge me to ask the president a question, se

north korea challenged the united states and the president of the united states has said nothing because he has absolutely no idea what to say. >> so north korea has nukes. japan has a problem with that. they have a big problem with that. maybe they would n fact, be better off if they defend themselves from north korea. >> with nukes? >> maybe it would be -- including with nukes, yes. >> the most ignorant presidential candidate in history who has now become the most ignorant president in history. that's what he had to say as a candidate. tonight, nbc news has learned the united states has begun shipping a controversial anti-missile system to south korea according to u.s. officials, the system called thaad which stands for terminal high altitude area defense, is an anti-missile system designed to counter a threat like that from north korea. president obama had previously indicated to south korea that the united states might deliver the thaad system to south korea. something he no doubt mentioned to donald trump when he was explaining the north korea issue to him. the japanese prime minist
