Beat it] potential candidates had to columbia, South Carolina this weekend to talk about criminal Justice Reform. We will take up that issue in the segment of the washington journal. You can join us on phone lines that we will put on the screen for you. We are joined at our desk by former maryland government bob Maryland Governor bob ehrlich, a member of the group right on crime. We might be joined by deray mckesson, a Community Organizer and cofounder of the zero. Project the group, i know you have been dealing with this, were dealing with it when you were governor of maryland. Currently the group is right on crime. Right on crime is, a conservative take on criminal justice. It is counterintuitive to some, not to me, not to many, in fact. But it is a leading group of philosophically inclined conservatives who believe that criminal justice is a party issue in our country. Who believe that anything manmade can and is broken, and we should do our best to achieve one simple goal, justice.
We have reached out many of the candidates. Many of them who have to travel. We would just want to communicate in advance whether a decision can be made here or shortly thereafter so we can continue to engage them. As we push closer to the december holidays, travel plans can very much become a factor for all of them. We will help work with any of those candidates to do that, but i am a little concerned if we push into middle of december that there could be a conflict there. Thank you. And that concerns me, too, commissioners because there is a market for candidates and there are other municipalities and organizations hiring for candidates that have similar qualifications and i dont want to lose our best candidates, but commissioner richards . My mother turns 95 on december 13th. I probably wont be here on the 12th. Im trying to be here every commission hearing, but, you know. Yes. [please stand by] commissioner moore . I would like to share my own experience. I sit on the board when Bo
Susan alan kraut, you have spent your professional career as an historian studying u. S. Immigration. Many americans look to the statue of libertys famous poem by emma lazarus that says give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free as the embodiment of the way we think about this country and immigration. As you look at history, does it track with the reality of how we have treated immigrants . Dr. Kraut the history of immigration in the u. S. Doesnt track at all with emma lazaruss wonderful quotation. In fact, it has been a lovehate relationship. In the 19th century, there was a popular immigrant saying, america beckons but americans repel. That is more accurate as to how our relationship with immigration has been in the United States. In fact, one of the great ironies is that emma lazarus wrote the poem in 1883, and one year before, in 1882, the u. S. Passed the chinese exclusion law, excluding chinese laborers from coming to the United States. We would p
