ago. water park wants help, though, with the name. they have launched a name that dolphin contest. let s turn back to capitol hill now. like i told you a moment ago, in just over two weeks if doesn t take place on capitol hill your taxes are going to go up. so, the house is taking up that tax cut compromise that was reached between the white house and republicans. some democrats, of course, upset about that compromise. but the senate has already passed that compromise. so now it s in the house s hands. brianna keilar on capitol hill for us. taking it up today. how quickly will they move to end debate on it or add or take away and vote on this thing? reporter: it is going to move pretty quickly but the big question here is are democrats changing the bill which, you know, republicans said you can t change it. this whole deal is going to unravel if you change it and a lot of liberal democrats in the house say, you know what?
i believe those run $200 billion. not every penny was state aid but a lot more of it was. we are going to get into some of the things that are politically defensible here. teachers is a big one, obviously. and then medicaid funding. governors have different states have been screaming for it. they need help with medicaid. there are a lot of other things that you noted that won t get funded here. and it is because they ve not been able to pick up the votes. this bill has gotten whittled down. as you would expect from that, state budgets are going to get whittled down. the argument against this state aid bill, the reason they re having to do with it this crazy last-minute jump back into session thing they re having to do now is because republicans resisted it by saying, listen, the economy is really bad. so therefore, we can t spend money on things like this. what would be the economic effect of spending a lot of money in the states right now? people would remain employed. we at the e

of laws that go for everyone. when i was in arizona at the request of a lot of the people in our organization that live there, the real fear is that when you are stopped and you may look hispanic, you will be subjected to a different line of questioning and procedure than if you didn t. and that is profiling. and i think that just to have that possibility, which was addressed by this judge, is a violation of people s civil rights that are legal citizens that may appear a certain way. senator pearce, to that point, if a white person with blond hair is pulled over, do you think they will be as you know, come under as much suspicion as a person of color would? you know? you know, immigration you know, illegal is not a race. it s a crime. those statements are absolutely outrageous by congressman sharpton. i mean, it prohibits racial profiling in this bill which, by the way, the federal law doesn t.
