representative trey gowdy says there is aren't enough republican who's share mr. king's views to derail immigration reform. but mr. king refuses even to apologize when he's pursued by reporters. so i ask you, do these idiotic reap prehenceable comments detract from the progressing that house republicans may have been making on immigration? >> they may hurt the republican party and their standing, but since we're into numerical equations let me give you this one. there are 25 good, decent republicans for every steve king in the republican caucus of the congress of the united states. i'm working with some of them. one of them is trey dowdy, another is paul ryan and other members, raul labrador and other member who's want to bringing about comprehensive reform. last weekend i was in

congressman trey gowdy.s chairman of the house subcommittee on immigration and border security within the house judiciary committee. congressman, welcome to the program. you're the sponsor of the "strengthen and fort fay enforcement act" or safe act. what does it propose and how does it differ from the senate version? >> well, if you think of security in three different components there's border security, there's e verify and then internal security. in other words, visa overstays or folks who may not have been detected at the border, the safe act deals with the internal security component of that and i think the part -- one of the parts that i'm proudest of is it gives state and local law enforcement-- which incidently is a role in all other forms of criminal justice enforcement-- it gives them a role in enforcing our country's immigration laws as well. so it's part of that tripod of security that we have to have before we get the other part of immigration reform. >> suarez: by giving that kind of authority

earlier this week, we talked with house republicans trey gowdy of south carolina and raul labrador ofho, along with illinois democrat luis gutierrez. tonight, another democrat: arizona's raul grijalva. he is a member of the congressional hispanic caucus, and serves as co-chair of the congressional progressive caucus. i spoke with him yesterday. congressman grijalva, welcome to the program. a lot of attention is being paid to whether republicans will go for the senate bill in the house but i thought since you're co-chair of the progressive caucus we should ask you whether democrats in the house are happy with the changes that were made to the bill to get it through senate? >> well, i think a great deal of discomfort, some outright opposition to the search. is amendment that added $30 billion plus, doubled everything that was already in the bill and for many, for environmentalists and people that care about those public land laws-- clean water, clean air-- the waiving of those laws along the border and public lands, people have difficulty with that. the issue of just militarizing the bo

there now, one from democrat congressman john barrow in georgia as well as republican congressman trey gowdythey address a lot of the concerns we have. they provide more i.c.e. officers for the interior of the united states and also do important things like allow us to assist gang taskforces in local communities and drug taskforces in local communities. let us work more closely with law enforcement, crackdown on sex offenders, fraud and other aggravated felonies, things that the senate bill don't do. i mean, people don't realize that the senate bill allows a path to citizenship for members of criminal street gangs. it allows a path to citizenship for people who have been convicted of three or more criminal offenses. it is a terrible bill. and i'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, governor, but the border patrol came out in opposition to this bill yesterday. i.c.e. is already in opposition to it. citizenship and immigration services, the organization that screens these visa applications for fraud and terrorist and criminal activities, they're opposed to this. there are hundreds of sher

. >> trey gowdy joins us. good evening sir. >> good evening. how are you? >> very well.er today's hearing how high up in the irs are you suspicious that some of this targeting went on? >> well, i want to take a good hard look at the chief counsel for myriad of reasons. number one, he's a political appointee. what we learned today is that the chief counsel knew of a guide sheet, i want -- i don't want to call it a bolo, a guide sheet. he has a background in tax exempt organizations. it's not as if he can claim he was unaware of what they were doing. he's an expert in it. >> are you talking about mr. wilkins? >> yes, ma'am. >> who incidentally, out of cure os tirks he's a political appointee, he and his former law firm represented reverend jeremiah wright's church in a similar tax controversy, right? >> for free. >> for free. >> i might add. >> yes. if you want to take a look at the chief counsel, this is what i'd like. if this -- i'm appalled that lawyers might be involved and for some reason and maybe i'm wrong, i think they have a higher duty. i don't know if the bar co

. >> thank you, chairman trey gowdy. thank you for holding this hearing as your compelling opening statement. most americans think about illegal immigration in the picture adul most americans think about illegal immigration in the picture adult crossing a desert on the southwest u.s. border. but not every illegal immigrant in the united states can be placed into the same category. some did in fact come here by being smuggled across the border. some came here on a visa and did not leave when their allotted time expired so they could work here illegally. however, there is another class of individuals that deserve to be considered from a different perspective. i am talking about aliens brought here as children by their parents. they had no input into the pit's decision to bring the family to the u.s. legally. and many of them know that having grown up as americans, since they were toddlers and some instances this is part of the step-by-step approach that we have taken to address immigration reform and we should look at whet

trey gowdy was on yesterday and made it very clear that the plan the republicans are putting forwardven resources and you do not use them appropriately, you should lose them and 24% is a good place to start. you can add to that a prohibition against money being spent on conferences, videos, bonuses, and we're also going to make sure they have no role in the implementation of the so-called affordable care act. i cannot stress to you how little trust the people i work for have in this entity. so a fourth is a big cut, but i got to be honest with you, they've earned every penny of that 24% cut. >> steve: if they did reduce it to that amount, they would be spending about the same that we did in 2001. >> gretchen: all right. so you have politicians against that. but then does that make this okay? let's juxtapose this story to the one we told you. the u.s. military spending $34 million on new headquarters in afghanistan. here is the issue, they told the groups that they needed to tell before they even built the structure you see that they didn't need it and they went ahead and still built

i also want to thank and commend my colleague trey go i gowdy for his work.the chairman of jew judiciary. as we move forward, it is critical that we get the border security portion right. every bit of legislation whether it's in the senate or the house has always focused on how are we going secure the border? how do we assure the american people that the border is secure? there has been legislation that was passed in 2006. that dealt with supposedly securing the board and the fence. yet only 6% operational control. earlier we passed legislation that would ensure a viable entry exit system. we have none. that's a problem. we need discuss that today. so i look forward to the congress tackling immigration reform. it is much needed. we need to understand what is happening at the border and we appreciate those that are here today. okay. does anybody have an opening statement they would like to make? >> members may have seven days to submit opening statements for the record. and we'll recognize our first panel. mr. michael fisher is the chief of the u.s. border pat
