william la jeunesse is live in los angeles. what is the latest in this case, william?rter: well, she is not out yet, martha. by american standards, many mexican law enforcement, local cops with the federal lease are corrupt. that is not my assessment but the mexican attorney general. shaking down american tourists is a cultural tradition. yanira maldonado and husband gary were traveling back from a funeral for maldonado's aunt where they were stopped at military check point which is common. everyone was told to get off. they allegedly found marijuana taped to under her seat. the soldiers let gary go but yanira spent the last week in a mexican jail. >> i'm in shock. this is not real. this is not happening. they my taped my hand and it is horrible. i'm going to be free. i'm not guilty. i have nothing to hide. >> reporter: maldonado's attorney said at hearing went well because the soldier's testimony was inconsistent. a mexican judge will review her case and rule on friday. if not, she could spend a few more months in jail until he rules. martha? martha: wow, we learned a

our william la jeunesse has been crunching the numbers, and he joins us live from los angeles.l, jenna, every analysis depends on what costs you include, how much to implement the bill, processing costs, border patrol. whatfinally, the benefit that nw immigrants bring to the overall economy. opponents say this isn't about immigration, but education. and if you don't finish high school -- legal or not -- you will consume more in public benefits than you pay in taxes. and according to the center for immigration studies, basically you've got 66% of those without a high school degree live in or near poverty. 71% of new immigrants earn even less on average, just $10,000 a year. and with that education level, 59% will require welfare to get by, food stamps, free health care, subsidized housing. and with that low income, p -- 70% will not pay a federal income tax which is why critics say legalizing 11 million undocumented immigrants represents a net cost to taxpayers. >> the problem with legalizing illegal immigrants is we think that nearly 80% have no education beyond high school. so

william la jeunesse knows the story frontwards, backwards and every which direction.bit what oj is talking about right now and why the lawyer is so important. >> well, you know, this petition for a new trial it's 96 pages long. over the last two days they've really focused on three points. that oj's defense attorney at the time yale galanter did not inform his client of a plea offer and he had a duty to do so. and second that galanter had for knowledge of oj retrieving his items from palace station. he said he did. he used florida law not nevada law, that he could go in and do it as long as he didn't threaten or trespass. oj paid galanter $500,000 and we heard he didn't hire a single expert to analyze anything within the hotel room, a tape, for chain of origin, suppliesing, et cetera. if he can prove that that means he did not get a fair trial and he deserves a new one. there was a lot of testimony including critical stuff from the former clark county district attorney who put oj behind bars. he made two critical points. number one that, yes, he did make an offer of 3
