by wedge issue you mean that you know obama is now going to give a speech and not really provide any leadership and try to dump all this. and yes this is going to be a wedge issue look what we need is some real leadership on the immigration reform you need to do more to secure the border you need something that allows people from other countries to come in and find gainful employment but the last thing you need the real leadership you need is a clear we're not going to do an amnesty reagan did an amnesty in eighty six the all honesty does is incentivize more illegal behavior more people coming across the border this is illegal and forcing the laws against employers that i think that was the big immigration is a problem at this point a broken system that there are a lot of people who are on the pathway and then because of administrative roles have kind of have been put on the outs and we have a lot we're probably a people that are off the books that are just out there and we need to find a way to get them back on the books and out into the sunlight in terms of in terms of immigration
