								<description><![CDATA[ &quot;You know, maybe part of the problem is we need to go back into the schools at a very early age, maybe at the grade school level, and have a class for the young girls and have a class for the young boys and say, you know, this is what&apos;s important,&quot; Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Georgia) said on the House floor on Tuesday.

&quot;This is what a father does that is maybe a little different, maybe a little bit better than the talents that a mom has in a certain area. And the same thing for the young girls, that, you know, this is what a mom does, and this is what is important from the standpoint of that union which we call marriage,&quot; he added. ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[Krauthammer vs. Juan Williams: Obama's Berlin Speech Addressed "Least Important Issue On The Planet" ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The president is continually amazing. Of all the issues on earth, you&apos;ve got Syria ablaze, Jordan is reeling, Iran is going nuclear, Egypt is under the sway of the Brotherhood, you&apos;ve got, you know, all of these crises in the world, and what is the least important issue on the planet? Nuclear arms reduction. There is zero chance nuclear war between the United States and Russia, it is not even an issue. We already are in a nuclear balance. 

The idea that we could be any safer if we have a thousand rather than 1,500 warheads is absurd. So why is he doing this? Number one, he has been obsessed with nuclear weapons and reducing them ever since he was student at Columbia and thought that the freeze, which was the stupidest strategic idea of the &apos;80s wasn&apos;t enough of a reduction. 

And second, because I think that&apos;s all he&apos;s got. He has the famous reset with Russia, which has been a disaster. Russia is helping Iran, it is helping Assad, it&apos;s working against us on all of the fronts. And so he thinks he can actually distract the world, perhaps produce a treaty, which will mean nothing as a way to say I did something. I find it rather amazing that he would even try it because it is not going to work. (Special Report, June 19, 2013) ]]></description>

								<description><![CDATA[ REP. PAUL RYAN (R-WIS.): Not now, but in the future we&apos;re going to have labor shortages. We have 10,000 people retiring each and everyday in America when the Baby Boomers retire. We are not like Europe, we&apos;re not like Japan in that our birthrates are really low, but they&apos;re not high enough. Immigration, in a decade or so, can help us. That means we need to get an immigration system that works. We need an immigration system that works to bring people to this country who want to contribute.

								<description><![CDATA[ CHRIS MATTHEWS: So here we have a president who is really talking back to the United States by talking to the kids of Europe -- the youth, well educated kids of Humboldt University, down the street there about Gitmo. Why do they care about Gitmore? Well, they do.

EUGENE ROBINSON: They care a lot about Gitmo. They care about that as a symbol of -- 

MATTHEWS: Why is he talking to them to get to our students, our kids, our young people?

ROBINSON: Well, there is an echo here. remember the speech before the election when he spoke to 250,000 people, in Berlin. And one of the things, one of the hopes that they and a lot of people around the world invested in President Obama was he would end a lot of the Bush-era policies that were condemned around the world, literally. It&apos;s very important stuff to people to end the torture and Guantanamo. 

MATTHEWS: Even the wars.

ROBINSON: That was a huge symbol of all of that. And there is disappointment that he hasn&apos;t, that he hasn&apos;t done it.

MATTHEWS: is that because, Howard, they sort of in a cartoon way thought African-American Democrat, he&apos;s a man of the simple left like a lot of those students are?

HOWARD FINEMAN: That&apos;s right. ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[Mark Levin: Why American People Don't Trust Washington On Immigration ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ MARK LEVIN: Let me read you about this 1986 law because people seem to think--. It criminalized the act of knowingly hiring an illegal alien. It established financial and other penalties for employing illegal aliens. It created the I-9 form to ensure that all employees presented documentary proof of their legal eligibility. Illegal aliens were required to pay $185 -- a filing fee, I think it&apos;s 500 bucks under the Senate bill, whatever it is -- demonstrate &quot;good moral character and no criminal record,&quot; that they would not become public charges, proof of English competency and knowledge of American history. That was the law. That&apos;s the law today that you guys -- you plural -- you guys and this president won&apos;t enforce...Boehner&apos;s been around awhile, Reid&apos;s been around awhile, a lot of them have been around awhile. This is the law that will not be enforced. Then on the other side, the fence, which frustrated Reagan to no end. We were supposed to have the security part. This is why I think, congressman, the American people are saying, this metrics thing sounds great, now put it in place, let&apos;s see how it works, then we&apos;ll do all the rest. ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[James O'Keefe: People Selling Free "Obama Phones" For Drugs, Cash ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ A whistleblower group called Project Veritas went undercover to expose federal waste. At the offices of a program called Lifeline, low income Americans can get free or deeply discounted cell phones.&#194;&#160;

Bill O&apos;Reilly spoke to the president of Project Veritas, James O&apos;Keefe on Tuesday. O&apos;Keefe explained that private phone companies are given corporate subsidies by the government, which enables them to participate in the program. &quot;It&apos;s intended to help poor people,&quot; O&apos;Keefe said. &quot;But what we found is that it in fact hurts poor people and it might even benefit wealthy individuals.&quot;

O&apos;Keefe provided undercover video of an office in Philadelphia where a Lifeline worker did not seem to care whether or not the recipients of these cell phones sold them for heroine. ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[Cruz: Gang of 8 Bill Offers "Same Empty Promises" As 1986 Reform ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ SEN. TED CRUZ:  This Gang of Eight bill is a disaster.  It is the exact same thing we saw in 1986.  The last big immigration reform was in 1986, and the federal government told the American people, we&apos;re gonna grant amnesty for the three million people who are here illegally.  And in exchange for that we&apos;re actually gonna secure the borders. We&apos;re gonna solve illegal immigration, and the problem is gonna go away.

Now, we saw what happened.  The amnesty happened, the borders never got secured, and now three decades later, instead of three million people, it&apos;s 11 million people.

RUSH LIMBAUGH:  Is it 11 or is it -- do we really know how many it is?

CRUZ:  We don&apos;t know.  I mean, the estimates vary, 11 million, 12 million. We don&apos;t have an exact number, but it is three to four times bigger than what it was in 1986, and we&apos;re hearing the exact same empty promises.  What the Gang of Eight bill does is it grants legalization now. It takes everyone who&apos;s here illegally and says, &quot;You&apos;re legal,&quot; and then just like in 1986 it promises, &quot;sometime in the future, trust us, wink-wink, we&apos;ll secure the border.&quot;  I don&apos;t think the American people are that foolish.  You know, fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.  If this bill is enacted, it will make the problem worse.  If this bill is enacted, in another decade or two we&apos;re gonna be back here not with 11 million, but with 20 million or 30 million people here illegally.  This is a broken system.  I think what Americans want is fix the problem, stop playing political games, actually secure the border and make a legal immigration system that works.

RUSH:  Senator, you&apos;ve been, obviously, observing and commenting on political life in America for a long time.  You&apos;ve been in the Senate now for six months.  Could you explain to me and people in this audience, why do the Democrats want this, and why do the Republicans who support this want it?

CRUZ:  Well, the Democrats want this for pure politics.  Chuck Schumer was very candid in the Senate Judiciary Committee when he said, &quot;If there is no citizenship, there can be no reform.&quot;  This is all about their endeavor. They want to grant amnesty, and they hope to get a lot more Democratic voters, or they want this to be voted down and use it as a political issue in 2014 and 2016. 

On the Republican side, sadly, a lot of the support of it is political as well.  You know, after 2012, all of the Washington political consultants and all the mainstream media came to Republicans and said, &quot;You&apos;ve got to do better with Hispanics, and the way to do better with Hispanics is to embrace amnesty.&quot;  And, look, a lot of Republicans in Washington were scared.  I gotta tell you, I think that political argument is complete nonsense.  If you look at the last time we enacted amnesty in 1986, the next election was 1988, the Republican share of the Hispanic vote went down.  It is not the case -- Hispanics are not the single-issue, monolithic voters.

My dad was an immigrant from Cuba with nothing.  And many Hispanics believe in rule of law, and you&apos;ve got a bunch of Republican longtime officeholders in Washington who are scared and listening to the consultants.  Let me tell you an interesting poll number.  In Texas, Rush, we polled Hispanic voters in Texas and asked them, &quot;Number one, do you support more border security?&quot;  Sixty-eight percent of Hispanic voters in Texas support more border security.  But the second question is even more revealing.  Hispanic voters we asked, &quot;Do you support a pathway to citizenship or work permits that do not allow citizenship?&quot;  And a plurality, 46% of Hispanic voters in Texas supported a work permit without citizenship and only 35% supported a pathway to citizenship.  This is a crock that is being sold to Republican politicians that they can just buy off Hispanics, and frankly it&apos;s offensive, but it&apos;s being sold as pure politics. ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[McConnell: President, Congressional Dems Need To Explain Obamacare Consequences ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following remarks on the Senate floor regarding the need for the President and Senate Democrats to explain the consequences of Obamacare to the American people instead of spending millions on a campaign-style P.R. blitz:

&amp;quot;Last year, President Obama was asked about the lessons he had learned from his first term. Instead of focusing on errors in judgment or policy, he seemed to indicate that he really just needed to do a better job of telling &amp;quot;&#152;a story to the American people.&apos;

&amp;quot;In other words, the policy was fine. And if Americans didn&apos;t get it, it&apos;s because they had a listening problem.

&amp;quot;Well, that&apos;s an attitude that has really come to define the Administration. And that&apos;s why folks will be rallying on the Capitol grounds today. They, like a growing number of Americans, are losing faith in government &amp;quot;&amp;ldquo; they think it&apos;s working against them, not for them.

&amp;quot;For good reason. Take Obamacare. This law has been pretty unpopular for several years now. And it&apos;s not like the American people haven&apos;t been exposed &amp;quot;&amp;ldquo; probably overexposed &amp;quot;&amp;ldquo; to the arguments on both sides of the issue.

&amp;quot;Obamacare must have been discussed hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of times over the past few years. That includes political debates. More speeches than any of us care to count. Issue ads, both pro and con. And guess what? Americans still don&apos;t like the idea of Obamacare. Not because they&apos;re unable to understand, or because they just haven&apos;t &amp;quot;&#152;seen the right messaging.&apos;

&amp;quot;It&apos;s because most of them like their health plan and want to keep it. It&apos;s because they don&apos;t want to pay more to the health insurance companies. And it&apos;s because they just don&apos;t think the law is going to work as promised. And yet, the Washington Democrats&apos; explanation for Obamacare&apos;s enduring unpopularity still seems to be that the law is just too complicated for their constituents to understand. And the Washington Democrat solution seems to be not to actually change the policy, but to spend millions in a campaign-style P.R. blitz.

&amp;quot;News flash: If you still don&apos;t think Americans are able to understand a law you passed more than three years ago, then there&apos;s something wrong with your law &amp;quot;&amp;ldquo; not with the American people.

&amp;quot;Instead of going around the country trying to convince Americans why they&apos;re wrong, the Administration could actually listen for a change. I think they should start over on health care and embrace the types of common-sense, step-by-step reforms that would actually lower costs.  But I won&apos;t hold my breath for that.

&amp;quot;So, at a minimum, they at least need to do this: the President, members of his Cabinet, and the Congressional Democrats who voted for this law need to get out and explain to Americans what&apos;s headed their way. Not feed them the sunny picture painted in the Obamacare ads that the President&apos;s campaign team is running, but actually explain the reality of the situation to them.

&amp;quot;For instance, Americans need to know about the coming wave of premium hikes. We&apos;ve already seen projected double-digit increases in some states. They need to know we&apos;re likely to see even more Americans lose the health care they want to keep, just like the thousands of Californians who will probably have to look for new plans after Aetna pulled out of the individual market in their state &amp;quot;&amp;ldquo; likely because of Obamacare. And they need to know that they could lose their jobs, or see their hours cut, or struggle to find work in the first place. In fact, a recent survey showed that about 70 percent of small businesses say the law will make it harder to hire.

&amp;quot;Americans need to know all of these things, because they need to prepare for them. And it&apos;s supremely unhelpful when the President claims that those who already have health care won&apos;t see changes, as he did a few weeks ago. He knows that&apos;s not what many experts are saying. And he owes it to the country to be frank about that.

&amp;quot;So it&apos;s time to get off the campaign trail. Call off the P.R. spinmeisters. Put down the communications plan. It&apos;s time to level with the American people.&amp;quot;&#157; ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[Allen West Threatens To Challenge Marco Rubio In 2016 Primary ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ LARRY O&apos;CONNOR, HOST: In 2016, Marco Rubio is going to be up for reelection&amp;quot;&amp;rdquo;

FMR. REP. ALLEN WEST (R-FL): Ah, I see where you&apos;re going&amp;quot;&#166;

O&apos;CONNOR : There are a lot of disaffected Floridians, I hear them. He rode into town here as the hero of the Tea Party, and really wanted to get back to protecting that Constitution, and getting back to constitutional principles. He came at the same time you did: 2010, right? And you know you both came here with that same spirit. His activity with this immigration reform bill, the fact that he&apos;s on Chuck Schumer&apos;s side of the issue. It&apos;s really leaving people in a strange place with  Marco Rubio right now, I think. And I&apos;ve gotta ask: There&apos;s a lot of people whispering that maybe he should be primaried in 2016. What about an Allen West primary challenge for that Senate seat?

WEST: That&apos;s a pretty heavy lift, because you&apos;re talking about running against a sitting senator, and then, of course, that creates that schism that the other side would love to see happen, because they like to us&amp;quot;&amp;rdquo;

O&apos;CONNOR: Oh, wait a second! They said Rubio would create a schism against Charlie Crist! And that didn&apos;t occur. And you&apos;re an army guy, you like the heavy lift. Now, you&apos;re not saying no&amp;quot;&#166;

[silence]

O&apos;CONNOR: So you are not ruling out the idea? 

WEST:  You know, as I have always said, I will serve this country in whatever capacity I can. My most important concern is my country, and if I see people that are not taking our country down the right path, if I see people that are not standing up for the right type of principles, and putting their own party politics before what is best for the United States of America.

								<title><![CDATA[MSNBC Panelist Salamisha Tillet: Pro-Life Legislation "A Crucial Way Of Reproducing Whiteness" ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ SALAMISHA TILLET, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA: Well, I think, the Census just released data, so part of it is the changing racial demographics in the United States. For the first time in American history, children born under the age of five are racial, the majority of them are racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S.

So I think that there&apos;s a kind of moral panic, a fear of the end of whiteness that we&apos;ve been seeing a long time in that I think, you know, Obama&apos;s ascension as President kind of symbolizes to a certain degree. And so I think this is one response to that sense that there&apos;s a decreasing white majority in the country and that women&apos;s bodies and white women&apos;s bodies in particular are obviously a crucial way of reproducing whiteness, white supremacy, white privilege. And so I think it&apos;s just a kind of clamping down on women&apos;s bodies, in particular white women&apos;s bodies, even though women of color are really caught in the fray.

								<description><![CDATA[ CHRIS MATTHEWS: I think a lot of the problem he had today was the late afternoon sun in Berlin, I think ruined his use of the teleprompters, and so his usual dramatic windup was ruined. I think he was really struggling with the text there. I think the headline is going to be balance on surveillance and privacy. I think no matter what he said about reduction, of course, the wire stories will have to go with the nuclear reduction proposal. But the political response to reality and today&apos;s news is balance. I think he&apos;s trying to make that case to an audience, which he knew would be skeptical. ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[Obama On NSA Spying: "We Have Struck The Appropriate Balance" Of Privacy And Security ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ President Obama attempts to assure a skeptical German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the press that he has &quot;struck the appropriate balance&quot; between privacy and security in the NSA&apos;s surveillance of international internet traffic.

&quot;I came into office committed to protecting the American people, but also committed to our values and our ideals. And one of our highest ideals is civil liberties and privacy. And I was a critic of the previous administration for those occasions in which I felt they had violated our values, and I came in with a healthy skepticism about how our various programs were structured. But what I have been able to do is examine and scrub how our intelligence services are operating, and I&apos;m confident that at this point, we have struck the appropriate balance,&quot; Obama said at a joint press conference with Merkel on Wednesday.

&quot;And as a consequence, we&apos;ve saved lives,&quot; Obama claimed. &quot;We know of at least 50 threats that have been averted because of this information not just in the United States, but, in some cases, threats here in Germany. So lives have been saved. And the encroachment on privacy has been strictly limited by a court-approved process to relate to these particular categories.&quot; ]]></description>

								<description><![CDATA[ FMR. GOV. ED RENDELL: I think that there&apos;s no question that anybody whose been in the president&apos;s presence, President Obama, clearly understands that he thinks he is the smartest person in the room, and he probably is. So, that&apos;s true. Dick Cheney probably wasn&apos;t the smartest person in the room, but he thought the was.

ALEX WAGNER, MSNBC HOST: In that room, he might have been the smartest person.

RENDELL: I think that there are more checks and balances. I think the president, President Obama, does consult with people who he believes are in a position of knowledge, more so than Dick Cheney. I think Dick Cheney just thought, &apos;it&apos;s my way or the highway, period.&apos; 


Can you imagine if this current incident or incidents had happened in the Bush-Cheney era? What would progressives who are sort of soft-peddling it, what would they have done? 

ALEX WAGNER, HOST: I don&apos;t know that all progressives are soft-pedaling it. 

BOB HERBERT: A lot of progressives are soft-pedaling it. I do think that there would be just tons of outrage on the left if Bush, Cheney or any Republican were pursuing the same policies that Obama is pursuing in the war against terror.

###

HERBERT: I would like to push back against this because in our form of government, if the president or other insiders see things that make them believe, you know, they have to act in ways that are antithetical to our values, or to our laws, or to our Constitution, then the way to play that out is to have a discussion about it and to change the law, or change or amend the Constitution and that sort of thing. You shouldn&apos;t have that kind of power concentrated in person or just a handful of people. (NOW with Alex Wagner, June 18, 2013) ]]></description>

								<description><![CDATA[ David Brody, Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN): &quot;What do you make of people like Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, even Matt Drudge? Maybe not Drudge so much but the talk radio guys that have the ear of the heartland in this country? A lot of people in the heartland of this country?

Joe Scarborough: I&apos;m friends with Rush. I don&apos;t know Matt but nobody knows Matt but I go to the Drudge Report every morning. It&apos;s just this habit I&apos;ve been in since 1998 but a lot of these talk radio guys they&apos;re just carbon copies of Rush. Rush made a lot of money. They decided they were going to copy Rush and most of these guys couldn&apos;t get elected dog catcher. They just couldn&apos;t but this is important and conservatives need to understand this, I don&apos;t knock them, they&apos;ve got a great business model. They speak to the most intense segment of the conservative movement, they make a lot of money because of it but getting a big audience on radio and winning elections those are two completely different things. You&apos;ve got to reach out to different people. The swing voters in the Philly suburbs, in the I-4 corridor, the swing voters who voted for Barack Obama twice but voted for George W. Bush twice and then voted for Bill Clinton twice and then voted for Ronald Reagan twice, those aren&apos;t people that are watching or listening to these ideologically charged programs. Those people are preaching to the converted, they&apos;re preaching to the choir and that&apos;s fine because guess what? A lot of people like listening to Rush, a lot of people love listening to Sean, a lot of people love listening to Mark Levin and that&apos;s their right just like a lot of people like watching Rachel Maddow and a lot of people like watching people on MSNBC. We just can&apos;t confuse political entertainment with what draws people to the polls&amp;quot;&#166;&amp;quot;&#157;

								<title><![CDATA[Dem Congressman Grills Martin Bashir For Criticizing His Opposition To NSA Spying ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) takes on MSNBC host Martin Bashir after the anchor likens him to the NRA for daring to criticize NSA activities and compare what they&apos;re doing to North Korea or Nazi Germany.

BASHIR: Congressman, aren&apos;t you being as counterfactual as the NRA when you invoke North Korea and Nazi Germany? I mean, the NRA says a bill which prohibits a gun registry is actually an echo of Hitler. And, of course, you&apos;ve mentioned the Nazis in connection with the NSA.

GRAYSON: Martin, let me ask you, how do you feel about the fact that the government is keeping a record of every single phone call you make? Are you happy or unhappy with that? 

If you wouldn&apos;t mind, sir, I&apos;m merely here to ask you certain questions. And our viewers have no interest in my view. They&apos;re interested in your view as he an elected member of Congress and responsible member of Congress. And what I&apos;m asking you is do you think you were were being as counter factual as the NRA by invoking Hitler and North Korea?

GRAYSON: Martin, you are completely missing the point. The point is that we&apos;re taking measures that are not correlated in any sense with our safety. And even if they were, it would be beneath our dignity as human beings. That&apos;s what this is all about. 

Listen, you could always make people safer by taking extreme measures. For instance, if we lowered the speed limit to 10 miles per hour, people would be safer. If we outlawed knives and forks, people would be safer. If we made everybody everybody fly on the airlines naked, people would be safer. None of those things corresponds to my sense of human dignity. And I think I&apos;m not the only one who feels that way.

Later in the segment, Grayson says it is irrelevant who is president because this is &quot;about us.&quot;

BASHIR: Mr. Grayson, do you find it a little bit galling to see conservatives who embraced these programs and in fact far worse and now they suddenly have a problem with this because, of course, there&apos;s a Democrat in the White House?

GRAYSON: Well, yes. But again, that&apos;s beside the point. This is not about President Obama. This is not about Snowden. This is about us. This is about our conception about how we want to live as a free people. And again, it grossly offends me to have a government surveilling individuals&apos; e-mails, their photos that they post online, every single telephone call that they make. That is not my sense of the kind of country I want to live in. That is not America. It&apos;s irrelevant whether people are pinning this on President Obama or not. It&apos;s about us. ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[Krauthammer: Hillary Clinton Is "Eminently Defeatable" In 2016 ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I think if she wants the nomination, it will be handed to her. Obviously, the party is swooning in believing that she is inevitable. Well, you know, she was inevitable in 2008 as well, it didn&apos;t exactly work out. She has a reputation of somebody who has a sterling career. I thought as a senator she was rather good. But people speak about her as a superb Secretary of State. 

You remember that little t&#195;&#170;te-&#195;&#160;-t&#195;&#170;te that she had with Obama on television? And her retirement here as one of the great Secretaries of State? Can somebody named one achievement she had in the four years? Just one, I&apos;m not asking for three. I&apos;m not asking for Henry Kissinger or George Schultz, James Baker, you know, a great treaty. No, just give me one thing. So, I&apos;m not sure I understand any of this. But if she runs, I think as a conservative, I&apos;d welcome that. I think she is eminently defeatable. (Special Report, June 18, 2013) ]]></description>

&quot;They&apos;re obsessed with this idea of making women -- this isn&apos;t pro-life; this is forced birth. They are obsessed with this notion of shaming, compelling, coercing, whatever they have to do to make women give birth. It&apos;s bizarre, but it is what they are about. Most of the legislation that these members of the House of Representatives, mostly all men have put forward have been about abortion,&quot; Reid told network anchor Martin Bashir on Tuesday. ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[Sen. Paul: Legalization Before Border Security The "Fatal Flaw" Of Gang Of 8 Bill ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ SARA EISEN: As this debate heats up among your colleagues on the floor of the Senate, what has been the reception to some of your proposed amendments?

SEN. RAND PAUL: Well, you know, we haven&apos;t had a full airing or discussion yet, but I&apos;m one of the Republicans who favors immigration reform, but I think that any legalization of those who are here illegally should be dependent upon border security, and unfortunately we&apos;re hearing from the Gang of Eight they want the opposite. They want legalization not dependent on border security, but I think most conservatives in the country want to see the border secured, and then they&apos;re willing to go ahead and give documentation to workers that are here illegally. But we can&apos;t do it if we&apos;re not going to secure the border first.

EISEN: So if you do not get that dependent, that factor, that amnesty is tied to border security, will you then not vote for the bill?

PAUL: Really, I think it&apos;s a fatal flaw of the bill. If the bill does not allow for Congress to vote on whether or not the border&apos;s secure, and if the documentation process is not dependent on the borders being secure, I think the whole concept is fatally flawed. 

ERIK SCHATZKER: Senator, you pointed out that your proposed amendments haven&apos;t yet had a full airing in the Senate.  What kind of reception are you getting in the House, because this bill isn&apos;t going to go anywhere unless the House Republicans get behind it as well? What are they saying about your proposed amendments?

PAUL: I&apos;ve talked to many conservatives in the House, and some who are willing to vote for some kind of immigration reform, but they tell me it&apos;s a non-starter to legalize all the people and then have a promise that the administration will write a report on whether or not the border&apos;s secure. So what I&apos;m talking to them about is that Congress gets to vote each year &amp;quot;&amp;ldquo; I call my amendment Trust But Verify &amp;quot;&amp;ldquo; that we verify that the border is becoming more secure but voting on it each year. And I think a lot of conservatives in the House are interested in this idea. I know that they&apos;re on a completely different page than the bill in the Senate. The bill in the Senate has no chance in the House. What I&apos;m trying to do is offer up something that is a bridge between the gap between the Senate and the House. 

EISEN: But Senator Paul, this idea that Congress would have the authority to vote on whether the border security is being met. People don&apos;t trust Congress! If you look at Americans and you look at the polling data: they don&apos;t want to politicize this process. 

PAUL: Yeah, well it is politicized because government&apos;s involved with it. Your representatives are involved with it. What I would say is, we need more to assure people that the border will be secure. The main problem with the &apos;86 legalization process was that they offered us and said, &amp;quot;Oh, border security will come at a later date.&amp;quot;&#157; It never came. And that&apos;s why conservatives are unhappy. 

The only way to make conservatives, and the public at large, more confident is to have more checks and balances in the bill. So what I&apos;m asking is yes, every year Congress gets the chance to come back and reevaluate this. Is that a political process? Yes. But it&apos;s a check and a balance against saying to President Obama&apos;s administration: Oh, you guys take care of it. You write a report and tell us whether you approve that the border is secure. I don&apos;t buy that, and I think that Congress has to approve that the border&apos;s being secured. That&apos;s the only thing that I would trust. 

SCHATZKER: Senator, how is it that Congress would know that the border is secure? You&apos;re trying to prove the unknowable: demonstrating that illegal immigrants haven&apos;t made it across the border into the United States. The fact that they illegally made it across the border in the first place means that they&apos;ve escaped the surveillance and security of the border to begin with. 

PAUL: We do several things. Number one: Instead of saying border security is something that the administration will do, we write it into the bill. We say that 100 miles of fence has to be built. We give more authority to immigration courts. We also say that if you&apos;re caught crossing the border illegally, you&apos;re not released.

You&apos;re not allowed to go into the interior country and advised or encouraged to come back for your court date. You&apos;re held. There&apos;s a quick court date, and you&apos;re deported if you came in here illegally. 

So we have more security that we write into the substance of the bill. But then what we have, is at the end of year one, an investigator general looks into border security. We look at census data to see how many illegal aliens or immigrants are said to be in the country. We look at all of these things. We look at reports from governors and then we vote on whether the border is more secure or less at the end of the year, given all of this information. 

We do two things: We go ahead and tell Congress to institute border security, we write it in the bill. And then we also have a report that comes back and is voted on by Congress. ]]></description>

								<description><![CDATA[ SEN. MARCO RUBIO (R-FL): &quot;Due to mistakes that were made -- when I was in ninth grade, by the way -- there are 11 million human beings living in the United States, most of them we have no idea who they are. They&apos;ve been here longer than a decade. They&apos;re having children that are U.S. citizens. They live among us. They&apos;re probably going to be here for the rest of their lives, and leaving what we have in place is de facto amnesty.&quot;

###

RUBIO: &quot;So my goal here is not politics. I don&apos;t believe that this is the salvation or the doom of the Republican Party. This is an issue that confronts our country, and it has to be solved because it&apos;s bad for America. That&apos;s why I&apos;m involved in the issue.&quot; ]]></description>

								<title><![CDATA[Elbert Guillory: Why I Chose To Become A Republican ]]></title>
								<description><![CDATA[ Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory (R-Opelousas) explains why he recently switched from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party. He discusses the history of the Republican Party, founded as an Abolitionist Movement in 1854. Guillory talks about how the welfare state is only a mechanism for politicians to control the black community.

Hello, my name is Elbert Lee Guillory, and I&apos;m the senator for the twenty-fourth district right here in beautiful Louisiana. Recently I made what many are referring to as a &amp;quot;&#152;bold decision&apos; to switch my party affiliation to the Republican Party. I wanted to take a moment to explain why I became a Republican, and also to explain why I don&apos;t think it was a bold decision at all. It is the right decision &amp;quot;&amp;rdquo; not only for me &amp;quot;&amp;rdquo; but for all my brothers and sisters in the black community.

You see, in recent history the Democrat Party has created the illusion that their agenda and their policies are what&apos;s best for black people. Somehow it&apos;s been forgotten that the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an abolitionist movement with one simple creed: that slavery is a violation of the rights of man.

Frederick Douglass called Republicans the &amp;quot;&#152;Party of freedom and progress,&apos; and the first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation. It was the Republicans in Congress who authored the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments giving former slaves citizenship, voting rights, and due process of law.

The Democrats on the other hand were the Party of Jim Crow. It was Democrats who defended the rights of slave owners. It was the Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who championed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, but it was Democrats in the Senate who filibustered the bill.

You see, at the heart of liberalism is the idea that only a great and powerful big government can be the benefactor of social justice for all Americans. But the left is only concerned with one thing &amp;quot;&amp;rdquo; control. And they disguise this control as charity. Programs such as welfare, food stamps, these programs aren&apos;t designed to lift black Americans out of poverty, they were always intended as a mechanism for politicians to control black the black community.

The idea that blacks, or anyone for that matter, need the the government to get ahead in life is despicable. And even more important, this idea is a failure. Our communities are just as poor as they&apos;ve always been. Our schools continue to fail children. Our prisons are filled with young black men who should be at home being fathers. Our self-initiative and our self-reliance have been sacrificed in exchange for allegiance to our overseers who control us by making us dependent on them.

Sometimes I wonder if the word freedom is tossed around so frequently in our society that it has become a clich&#195;&#169;.

The idea of freedom is complex and it is all-encompassing. It&apos;s the idea that the economy must remain free of government persuasion. It&apos;s the idea that the press must operate without government intrusion. And it&apos;s the idea that the emails and phone records of Americans should remain free from government search and seizure. It&apos;s the idea that parents must be the decision makers in regards to their children&apos;s education &amp;quot;&amp;rdquo; not some government bureaucrat.

But most importantly, it is the idea that the individual must be free to pursue his or her own happiness free from government dependence and free from government control. Because to be truly free is to be reliant on no one other than the author of our destiny. These are the ideas at the core of the Republican Party, and it is why I am a Republican.

So my brothers and sisters of the American community, please join with me today in abandoning the government plantation and the Party of disappointment. So that we may all echo the words of one Republican leader who famously said, &amp;quot;&#152;free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last.&apos; ]]></description>
