On Ice

" And the factor follow up segment tonight immigration officials tell Fox News that workplace raids which -- targeted illegals on the job. Are being suspended. Until further reveal. This must make House Speaker Nancy Pelosi very very happy -- members she was caught on tape talking to a bunch of legal and illegal immigrants recently. Whom. Okay. Apparently Homeland Security secretary Janet -- now a big supporter of so called. Comprehensive immigration reform. Will now focus on criminal illegals. And employers who hire undocumented workers. So is this is sort of change that we can believe in joining us now from Washington immigration activists Caroline up -- now. Caroline I was looking at the report that William want to -- Fox News -- he's done a lot of investigation of what's happening. With these raids on workplaces. And he said that the immigration customs enforcement officials are quote. Paralyzed with fear. Fear of enforcing immigration laws for. For fear that they're gonna get retribution against them on the job another let's get fired for enforcing a lot of what you think that's a good thing."

" Well I don't know who you're speaking to who works for immigration and customs enforcement but it seems to me that we have -- problem with our borders. There's a lot of violence going on the borders of Mexico on people need real help. Workplace -- might make good TV but it certainly isn't good policy so I applaud the Obama administration. Because you know he's following through on what he said that Tuesday night in front of congress act boldly act wisely we have hard work ahead of us and I. Thank him for taking -- on in a thoughtful way we -- comprehensive immigration."

" is not enforcing current immigration laws that are on the box it's just it's -- and other like it's giving me. Ice officials the immigration officials they implicit message. Knock off that law enforcement thing that's that's acting boldly to me it's acting in contravention to duly passed laws. Well what do you suggest they do -- I well I yeah they are here as part of our failed immigration policy not that there is no way and it -- across our borders legally and become citizens out there are people here just like there have always been my ancestors came here and they helped build this country. That's right next wave of immigration and they all appeared slightly better life -- ten -- twelve million illegals that it's such an old line and had. That's older than the tactics that were -- in Washington today with a -- indignation about AIG. -- I don't know what what we've seen as that workplace raids go to the heart of the problem employers. Who willfully. Hire illegal aliens or. Look the other way because they didn't bother to do to do the check that mobbed up for measure like. We need to have a way for all workers to be legal in this country and that's what I'm not a favorite -- and we'll do. Well first of -- everybody knows. If you and your 88 and the eight looks like a zero because some person -- it down in a messy way it's not going to show up but the point is is that as long as there's one group of workers. Who can be preyed upon by unscrupulous employers -- have -- dragged down wages for every one well all these employers are choosing to hire people who are undocumented. They cannot pay their that I that's exactly right and that's why there is immigration reform talking -- doesn't make your point that and more persuasive. Our way to win that -- high and employers hire people. Thank -- area. What happens then I thought that hands into the computer and are able to find out whether these match out. That is an incident jackets -- you know instant background checks at gun shows everyone's in favor of that right. But what I've learned -- that Caroline would you like me respond at all not a second or immigration activists. Like yourself don't really want. Any enforcement on the books did you what it what enforcement are you actually in favor -- tick tick that off that be well why don't you flag of the sales because that was the failed policies of the Bush Administration that led to this entire -- I get a glimpse economic crisis one economic record is tied to the creditor and a great. This is an immigration problem. It's apparently and obviously they -- linked airlines as long wait is finally got. People who -- know right -- like what are your right we actually agree on that but you're basically any EM if we want I don't know like. And for twelve billion people we will increase I tell me revenues by sixty million dollar -- six channel nine dollars tax law on the books and enforcement provision on the books that you're in favor of -- We need comprehensive immigration reform with a -- citizenship. Now so people can become legal and cross the borders legally -- so we need to pressure are more humanely and we need to why are we -- our laws and standards on the job that you're not in favor are single and anyway. You can name why have a border. What -- well Laura. No one here is talking about open borders except for you yeah we I that we asked -- for a time we have citizenship remains -- have -- immigration law. Do you favor what enforcement mechanisms. Do you favor to stem the tide of illegal immigration in the United States which won't we on now the immigration -- completely broken there's a backlog had little to become citizens -- Qaeda stand up from Springfield he was in line actually an -- automatically -- clarify that I appreciate it. Thanks Andy -- I appreciate your time plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening the last."
