you have to remember there are places like topeka, kansas, literally paying people to move to topeka, kansas. you move there and get a job, the city will give you $5,000. that is because they are desperate for workers and citizens to be living in that community. maybe what we should do is be thinking about how do we deploy this resource, which is hard working people ready to make a better life for themselves and how do we put them in places where they can succeed in a legal way that allows the communities to benefit from that. that doesn't mean all the folks coming will fit into that equation but it means we are missing an opportunity to say it, how about if those folks came illegally to places and communities that needed them. then the problem becomes an opportunity but that will require congress to look past the politically expedient solution, the rhetoric of mass deportations and think about, how do we create a system that will work and put immigrants where we want them and need them and create a legal system to do that. if we did that, i think we could absolutely solve this proble

in my estimation -- i'm a vietnam vet and i did my service out in kansas, topeka, kansas. there was a university i could attend out in kansas and it was close to a foundation hospital for people that had medical problems. i was able to attend some classes in the evening, so what i observed about this president trump is that he never accepts any responsibility for the riot at the capital. he did not express any overall responsibility for his financial problems up in new york, so he seemed to me like a non-president. i would classify him as a hypocrite and a hypocrite is he believes life is what you fake it and that seems to suit this fellow that is going to be president. he never apologizes for anything. he just refers his problems to other people. hello? host: yes, caller: we heard you. caller:that is my opinion. even the puerto rico, they said it was a garbage island. he never accepted responsibility for that. that is why i classify him as a hypocrite. host: we got that. this is judy in tennessee, independent. caller: i am deeply concerned about the situation in israel. i
