filibuster in a budget bill. there are things like interstate shopping on health care, associate to buy nationwide through buying pools, medical liability reform, all those things we very much believe in which is part of our better way agenda, you cannot put in a budget bill because then they can filibuster that entire bill. tucker: tort reform and lots of other things and i don t want to keep pressing you on this. let me finish the point. tucker: these are members of congress, they know what the reconciliation bill is. are finding that some don t. we are a first installment to gut obamacare, repeal mandates, taxes and spending. then we replace it with conservative republican tax policy that is long-standing conservative reform. health savings accounts, tax credits to buy what you want to buy in state regulated marketplace is not the federal and at risk of pools. this is some things that conservatives in the heritage foundation had been pushing it for years. if that the other p
less than 3% of immigrants commit felonies. in contrast about 6% of americans commit felonies. tucker: you made that point at the outset. almost out of time. you don t have command of these numbers so it s pointless. let me ask you a theoretical question. what immigration restrictions would you favor in mexico? it s already a felony to be there illegally. what further restrictions in the country of mexico would you favor? mexico is a terrible example for the protection of immigrants. they treat central american immigrants in a terrible way, i think countries should be judged by the way they treated the most vulnerable not the most powerful. they have a horrible record when it comes to human rights and central american spirit here in the united states, i think we have the responsibility to treat immigrants in a decent, humane way. we are responsible partly because of that.
