guest: these people, undocumented workers is what i call them, sir. first of all, i am not sure you are right about the felony. when you cross the border without proper documentation, i believe it is a misdemeanor. no one is talking about an effort that will not have some kind of penalty or some kind of requirement. folks who will have a path to legalization will go through a background checks. they will most likely have to pay a fine. they will have to come to terms with what they did wrong. this is not the first time we have given amnesty. if you want to call it amnesty, fine. i disagree that it is amnesty. amnesty has become the code word. there are so many code words when it comes to immigration that you can tell where a person is based on their code words. the code word for amnesty is one way to brush off any and initiative, any sort of initiative for reform of the immigration. if you want to call it an amnesty, let's call it amnesty. how many times have we given group amnesty? we have given amnesty to deserters of war. i am not criticizing that.

undocumented immigrants to get out of the bus very quickly. they were inspired by the young dreamers, the high school and college students who sat in at president obama's campaign offices demanding that the dream act be passed. they risked more than a rest. they were incredibly brave. the risk deportation, often to countries that they did not even know. maybe they moved here when there were six months or maybe a year old. they did it because they were demanding a fair compassionate immigration policy in this country. president obama, i think, was humiliated by this. he was a community organizer. the immigrants that are doing this, i think, represents the modern-day civil rights movement and he understood their power. so months ago, he said -- he issued a kind of executive order that said undocumented immigrants 30 years or younger, if they meet certain criteria, can get deferred action. they can stay illegally in this country for a few years and work and study and not be afraid of deportation. it was a tremendous victory for these young people

and they're only their only liberal minded i think it's one thing to say that you know they're undocumented latinos who vote in favor of the democratic party and perhaps that's an error in their interest and perhaps the increasing number of. documented workers is an issue in that regard but i used to run campaigns in in minority writings in canada and i know for a fact that legitimate immigrants who came you know came to the country legitimately through the right channels were actually very very conservative and didn't embrace the liberal democratic left wing ideals that i but i think perhaps it's not so much a changing demographic of an increased an increasing number of latinos and minorities but perhaps an increasing number of undocumented. workers or not just workers but you know basically immigrants who are coming not through the right channels but but through other means and and maybe maybe that's it i don't know but it's i don't think it's a it's accurate to say that there is no appeal in the g.o.p. to minorities for women i think that's a bit of a different story i've as a woman who'

undocumented workers have a pathway to citizenship isn't a gift it's the humane thing to do and making sure impoverished children have health care summit gift it's the moral thing to do. americans have handed democrats electoral victories throughout the decades because they want the sort of america that the democratic santa clause offers which is a we society that allows for a strong middle class and basic protections from old age sickness and unemployment and the american people are willing to pay for it in other words we want life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and we're willing to pay for it let's hope democrats understand this fast and don't fall for the republican gimmick started by juden inskeep more than thirty years ago because right now santa claus stands blindfolded in front of a firing squad and it's the democrats led by president obama who have been maneuvered by the republicans into a position to pull the trigger and if they do that not only does the democratic senate clothes die so too does the democratic party itself and along with it the american middle class. and
