With respect to syria because when we talk about syria we always talk about figures. People talking about bombing shelling, family members dying, pictures in their head they cannot get rid of. Unrest grows in ferguson, missouri. Unrest in the streets, at times between a swat raid and a full scale military invasion. We look at ourselves and say, do we have the kind of country we want to live in. Mother nature doesnt have to have an appointment. We begin with the crisis in iraq and the increasing u. S. Involvement. Senior pentagon officials said, the siege of mt. Sin is broken, enabling yazidis trapped on the mountain to escape. That fold news an American Team including dozens of u. S. Officials, landed on mt. Sinjar figuring out how to get the yazidis off the mountain. The americans left safely. Supplies and a few were lifted out on Iraqi Military helicopters saving the yazidis from Islamic State extremists, who call the yazidis devil worshipers. A number of options were being considere
Legalized, dont expect a scent subsidy and pay every tax imaginable. And in ten years forget about bringing your brothers or sisters because those are gone. Then if that wasnt enough 20,000 more Border Patrol agents. But its worth it what youre doing. What were doing is worth it. I want to extend another hand to the other side of the aisle to say all of those things i dont like them, but im ready to accept them because the alternative is the kind of pain that you hear that young lady. And you have to multiply what they said here millions of times. I want you to think of those millions of tears every day, the pain and devastation that exist in our community. Thank you for the personal testimony and for humanizing this issue for all of us. Thats going to help inform this committee better than any statistics ever can. I thank the gentleman from illinois.

Are significantly lower, so this is another way the benefits of low skilled immigration. Low Skilled Services are cheaper in markets where there is a lot of immigration. Ok. There is a variety of other things that immigration does. We talked about the productivity spillover from other types of immigration. There are other impacts.

I think they definitely need to do a better job there. I think this is true not just for president obama but everyone of us. Things are complicated. They are more complex than they look on paper. You bring up the payroll tax cut. I thought it was a terrible idea in the context where we are supposed to collect this money to help pay for the retirement of current retirees.
