it s not that simple. also the united states cannot just go into mexico unless the mexican authorities allow us to do certain things. they re not helpful, are they? no, they re not. with the change of administration they had from the last time. when calderon left the office the various authorities that the dea had, the fbi even in mexico was reduced significantly with the new current president. they wanted to do it themselves. and we know that s not going to work. they re not doing a good job, obviously. guys, i disagree on the immigration part. i do thank you for the hard work you put in every day. i do thank you for doing that. thank you. coming up what we know about el chapo s family. will authorities ever find him. that s coming up next, straight ahead. 2,000 tons of dirt was taken from the tunnel under that building stored in this area right here, and then removed from the neighborhood. how did that happen with nobody noticing?
it s ridiculous. so this is in the washington post. obama has already won the immigration part. among the many ways republican members of congress are contemplating to punish president obama for his executive actions on immigration is a proposal of elegant simplicity. they refused to invite him to the capital to give his state of the union address. yes, that should do the job. if this doesn t force obama to back down from his executive orders, republican lawmakers can escalate by unfriending him on facebook and unfollowing him on twitter. in the immigration stare down, republicans have already blinked, unwilling to squander their new majority and public support, they are quickly falling in line behind symbolic protests. is that fair? should it be working behind the scenes? we played a clip on somebody saying they wanted to stop the
know, we hate everything obama just did on immigration and we re going to try to change it. second one, funding the government. there is a fair amount of resistance now that is building in both the house and the senate to this. i don t think we re totally around the corner yet. senator sessions yesterday was saying, you know, maybe we need to negotiate something else. as chris said, maybe a shorter term cr so they can get their hands on the budget. a big problem for them is that these sections of the immigration law that the president has touched are financed through fees, not through the budget. that s the point i was going to make. very difficult for them to de-fund. they can defund, chris clizza, but the immigration part of the law, the white house was clever on this, and this is the facts, it s funded by fees, which are not subject to congressional appropriation. so they can t take the money away as easily. and that s part of the problem. i think if you if you got
and communities safe. i want to bring in congressman henry cuellar from texas, just back from the border. i want to get to what you just there but first of all, here s an issue that i know hits extremely close to home for you. the district that you represent borders mexico. first of all, your reaction to this merge surge operation. how does it help address a legitimate humanitarian crises there? there are two issues here. we ll talk about the humanitarian crises, but on the surge, what the state officials want to do, we certainly want to welcome, as long as they coordinate with the border patrol, and the other thing is, make sure that they fill in the gap. they can t do the immigration part of it. as you know, a border patrol person right now takes up about 40% of its time right now at the border to fill out paperwork, take care of the kids, so they re away from the border. so having somebody help fill that gap, we certainly want to welcome them as long as they
