about forty six billion dollars have
been added to the immigration reform
bill specifically addressing border
security and the reason that was added
to the senate version by the way of the
immigration reform bill is to try to get
some more republicans support for it
and it looks at this point likely that
bipartisan support will lead to the
passage of the immigration reform bill
with the added forty six billion dollars
in the senate now in the house for a
little bit more difficult because
they're controlled by republicans and
they have monetary incentives to be even
crazier than the senate republicans so
we don't know at this point it's even
with the forty six billion dollars even
with the crazy border money
it's gonna pass in the house but for
right now let's focus on the senate
there are of course were to focus on the
border wall but there are some other
elements to this now the bill would give
legal status to most
of the eleven million currently under
ocular and foreigners
inside the united states it would lay
out up have to citizenship
that uh... assuming normal paperwork and
things like that should only take you
maybe seventy five years or so
i'm so sorry early
if you wanna do that
but the forty six billion dollars is
what i want a focus on
now whether or not this will end up in
the final version of the bill
we don't know currently but i love that
number forty six billion dollars over
ten years
and this cially the writers of the bill
thought that six forty five billion
dollars that would be a good get for
people who want boris security but no
it's blowing up by like seven times
now uh... some senators in particular
are especially excited about the
prospect of such a spending is forty six
billion dollars in here i'm talking
about senator mccain
series absent
i think you know
first of all the legislation concerning
beefed up border security removes any
validity to the argument that border
security is not sufficient and i mean
this is not only sufficient it is
morello over sufficient air will be the
most militarized border
since the fall of the berlin wall
so i saw that early today and will be
the most militarized border since the
fall the berlin wall i felt
all interesting mccain's against this
no he was saying that in a positive
sense he's excited about that
uh... look i'm not gonna give you a huge
history lesson on what the berlin wall
was there why it was felt at
time to be necessary
but the idea that the border between
america and mexico and needs to be as
milta rises the berlin wall
that is freaking in the same and by the
way
kuwait bear in mind when it comes to the
cost of these things the berlin wall was
it
thousands of miles long
um... there's a little bit cheaper
olympic easier to block off that
territory at that point
and so uh... at we got the forty six
billion dollar billion dollars in
deficit one hundred mile border fence
uh... which by the way like
it's not going to just the fence is
multiple layers the territory between
the layers has to be bought which is
going to cost be crazy amount of money
because all those landowners
along those seven hundred miles they're
going to squeeze the government for as
much money as they can possibly get
two forty six billion dollars in time i
hear
that very well might not be the final
figure as well
and i just want to say
we're talking about immigration reform
finally in this country and this is what
is felt to be necessary to get some
republicans to support it just in the
senate
we're talking about people's lives in
front of the people who want nothing
more than to become a part of america
we talk about the american dream in
america about help awesome it is to live
here the freedoms we have
and then we expect that nobody not
living in the continental united states
is supposed to be attracted to that
uh... and just the idea that we want to
ward off the illegal immigrants
as if immigration policy is totally like
race neutral country to country origin
neutral
now we have quotas we we have
historically said
certain countries consent a certain
number of people certain countries can't
and that leads to the the place that
we're at with his eleven million dollars
on a mill eleven million undocumented
foreigners
and by the way up to forty six billion
dollars
lest you believed that that is gonna be
all it takes to get this past
know we've got some of representatives
in the house one in particular john
fleming is a tea party activists
he says this
in response to that forty-six denies he
says that's pretty good but then he says
our viewpoint is that we passed for
security first
so that if anything comes of open house
it'll be that
this is what i love about attempting to
bargain or negotiate with these crazy
people even if you add
evidence stains stupid amount of money
for more security that would allow one
more agent for every five hundred yards
for most of the border of america and
mexico
that's i'm not because then they will
take that state
what's up that separate
leg everytime obama tried to get a
couple of tax increases on the rich or
something like that
anne throwing something republicans want
they're like that's great let's just
vote on that
it is a few child effort to try to
bargain with these people and look at
this point
i don't want the bill to die because i
feel like we have to make some headway
on allowing a path for legalization
these millions of people in america
but really if it dies it's hurting
those people but also the republican
party because as we've said the
demographics are not in their favor
public opinion is not nothing ever
and if they don't do anything to reform
immigration policy america if they kill
this bill in doing so in incredibly zena
phobic
anti-static fashion
that is gonna hurt them up for years and
possibly decades possibly generations
uh... to come and so i'd hope that we
make some progress possibly without the
forty six billion dollars but this point
if we don't they're only really hurting
themselves
