" Well and progressives talk about illegal immigration. It's like Bob who -- just poor families. Yes some of them are. But let me ask you this reasonable question. Would you want to live in Mexico I mean really don't know get me wrong it's fun vacationing there but call me crazy I wouldn't wanna live there. Unfortunately. America has been fundamentally transforming long before Barack Obama and it has a lot to do. -- our policy on illegal immigration and border security why are people leaving Mexico to come here. Corruption. Soul. We want to make our country more corrupt so we're more like Mexico so we can all go to the northern border and try to cross their border. Illegal immigration -- it dates back to the nineteenth century. Our current illegal immigration -- problems go back to the early 1940s. During World War II labor shortages caused the federal government to set up -- It was a program to import Mexican laborers to work temporarily in agriculture primarily in the southwest I was growing up as a kid I remember. The migrant workers in my farming community that I grew up. His goal was to import foreign workers originally thought to be numbered in the hundreds during the agricultural harvest and then encourage them to go home. They were only supposed to be hired when American workers couldn't be found but surprise surprise. A lot of companies like the cheaper labor. And this several decades sends hundreds of illegal aliens. Have sneaked across our border and said hundred's that should be hundreds of thousands and now millions. Every single day people are coming across the border the government simply makes matters worse with amnesties. The biggest one the comprehensive immigration reform that they're talking about again. Was 1986. Under Ronald Reagan. It gave amnesty to over three million illegal immigrants. Yet it also promised stricter enforcement help in the end it all worked out because we let everybody again. And that we didn't in force and it. That work out so still very well that we now have fifteen million illegal aliens and on top of that six additional amnesties have been tried. 1994 amnesty to win 97 another one in 98 and two in 2000 all yeah -- they're just doing the jobs Americans won't do. Quick math lesson here. There were seven point seven million illegal aliens employed in the US and jobs in 2008 this is according to the Pew Hispanic Center. Meanwhile the current recession has eliminated over seven million jobs. Which one's bigger seven point seven million. Or -- million."
" Ought to be perfectly clear. I don't have a problem -- immigration. Have a problem with corruption. And I do not want my country transformed. Through illegal immigration. If you have been dreaming about cup becoming an American and you want to come here legally that is very different but some lawmakers have a different dream. The dream act. Would set into motion a process for granting amnesty to two point one million illegal immigrants plus there one point four million parents and siblings. Who would also be legalized but there's another big reason to be against illegal immigration security. It is my main reason. Has anyone noticed that there are people in the world. That want to kill us. Never forget the 9/11 hijackers."
" What happened there they overstayed their visas. Illegal immigration story if they even have visas -- illegal immigrants. It also seems to be the case for the Jordanian teenager in Texas. This guy was accused of trying to make a weapon of mass destruction to blow up a skyscraper in Dallas so they didn't fix a problem. What's startling development. -- some -- startling numbers according to the Center for Immigration Studies 80% of illegal immigrants have committed serious crimes besides immigration violations. 40% have a violent crime history. The Center for Immigration Studies also says 25 to 50% of all gangsters arrested in northern and western Virginia. Are estimated to be illegal immigrants including estimates of 90% of the members of MS thirteen. The most notorious deadly immigrant -- out there. None of this would be an issue if we actually secured our borders and then made the other door. The legal door bigger. So the good people could come in and help -- be a better nation."
" To that and by the way you'll be pleased to know -- an extra 414. Border patrol agents are going to be deployed on the border. It is the US Canada border in 30. I think that's a great problem downside. The border patrol is going to reduce the number of agents on our southern border. By 384."
" Really. The Department of Homeland Security has done away also those pesky prisons and they're floating the idea of housing the low risk detainees in re purpose hotels and nursing homes and other residential facilities. Sounds -- Who wouldn't come across the desert. You know to be a live in a hotel here in America. For free. The DHS decided to -- sheriff Joe Arpaio of authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status. Pesky laws pesky laws. We'll talk to the sheriff next."
