workers point of view. a guy who cannot afford the $200 fee for a work permit, is he likely to be a net contributor to the united states? or will he join the swollen remarks of dependence? neil: but republicans and i appreciate the box they are in, they look heartless to say we cannot keep doing that but they have to find or they feel fran dick and they feel they have to do this stuff. i look at election and the success of rubio, that there is sort of this old bush compassionate approach but i m not sure they know or i know or anyone knows what that is. guest: they have to containing the language. they have to change the language to one in favor of immigration that is a benefit to the united states they can make the case on that. but, basically, the idea that
that s what he promised to do. unfortunately, he didn t come close. in the end, their biggest problem is in spite of the distraction, the shiny o at thend of the day, this is all going to come back to the facts and the fundamental question. are you better off today than you were three or four years ago? that s their biggest problem in vulnerability because the answer is no, we re not better off. gretchen: it seems that they have an answer for that as we ve just seen from this morning and on the sunday talk shows, they re going to blame bush. they re going to blame bush, but the problem is that when presidents run for reelection, they have to account for their record and the future. the question that americans will be asking themselves, is is this next four years going to be different than the last four? so far the president hasn t been able to answer the question. brian: their big criticism was i didn t hear and the president must have been watching because he said he didn t he
