continue to fight for what she says is the state s right. bottom line, i took an oath to uphold, which i took very, very seriously, to uphold the laws of the state of arizona. so it s against the law in arizona. so the federal government comes in with an executive orderer, the president signs it and here we go. he gets to determine, i who we issue driver license to. again, a state s right. no the a federal responsibility. she continueses to say that incoming governor doug doescy expected to take up the battle, governor brewer is leaving in the office in a couple of weeks. gretchen? what is the reaction from the other side, dreamers who can now get these licenses? as you mentioned earlier, they have been fighting for this for a number of years, very excited, of course, about at the opportunity, the lines have been seen long at the offices, again, expected for a number of weeks there they say what it does it allows them to now have their own ability to go places and do their own
place. well, first, look, the president s executive action, i think he overstepped his authority, even the washington post editorialized this is a sweeping step. that said well, they are not the litmus test of what s legal and not legal here. this is a whole class of people that the president has, you know, has suspended deportations from. i think this is unprecedented. you agree with it though? what if we voted on that tomorrow? what if we voted to do what the president did in executive orderer? would you vote for that? let me tell you what i will do. i will vote on a step-by-step basis for several immigration bills. i don t want to do one big comprehensive bill. i want to do border security, i want to do interior enforcement, e-verify, children, you can accompanied children and i m prepared to have an honest, adult conversation about the 11 million people in this country unlawfully and deal with them in a way that i think will be and you may. you want to deal with t
week, go to 800. obviously, california really willy-nilly with other people s money. there s a two-pronged thing. another executive orderer, more importantly for me, we need to be focused on other things other than higher minimum wage or paying people extra money to do minimum wage jobs. thanks so much charles. don t miss him on our sister network, log on to fox business.com/channel finder. time for my take now. let s talk about the president s repeated actions postmidterm elections. apparently, he really wants to try and really irritate republicans and quite frankly, a big portion of american voters before he leaves office. remember the midterm election, they were clear. americans wanted a change from president obama s policies. the president himself said he heard the american people s voice but not really, right? he immediately got down to business doing exactly the opposite, doing it his way. he defied the voice of america in announcing his immigration action. he is now going to
via executive orderer? how much of a change could he make? there is a federal program called secure communities that gives local and state cops the possibility of when they arrest or detain someone checking their immigration status through dhs. that has caused more than 150,000 people to be deported. and maybe the president could tackle that specifically. that would mitigate immediately in local communities people who have minor traffic infractions and find themselves deported with u.s.-born children. and those families are divided and destroyed in this country. 1,000 deportations happen every day in this country. do you think this dramatic and now repeated protests against deportation policies, do you think they are having an effect in washington? i mean, you have access to the president that i could only dream of. you ve spoken to him a number of times i know. and you see how this is debated in washington. do these protests have an effect on the people who are making decisions?
their recess hopefully they will have done something to start an immigration reform process that really would mitigate the pain that we re seeing in this country for hundreds of thousands of people. i think he s going to wait until august if nothing is done in the house. i wouldn t be surprised if he starts making some very controversial executive orders to mitigate the pain of millions of people who face deportation. i talked to her just a little while ago. she s hopeful but she knows that odds are that people like her that come back in don t get very good odds when they got in front of a judge. you said you wouldn t be surprised if the president tried to move furtherer with executive orders. everything ant immigration is apparently controversial. what do you think he could do via executive orderer?
