the white house under considerable criticism for leaking a copy of the immigration reform plan and some saying the president was hurting rather than helping a bipartisan effort toward immigration reform that s already underway in the senate and now the white house is walking back its plan, saying it is unfortunate that a draft version of its plan got out and they re not sure how it happened. the proposal which called for a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants in eight years led senator rand paul to accuse the president of trying to torpedo that bipartisan effort. back in 1986 president reagan signed a reform law and granted amnesty to 3 million illegal immigrants and later said he made a mistake, what lessons should we take from that mistake in his view? his son, michael reagan is here, a political chairman of the reagan group. that s interesting because ronald reagan believed in, i
between wal-mart, one calling sales a total disaster and some economists are saying this is the result of the tax hikes that the president wanted and that did take effect as of january. we ll have a fair and balanced debate on that and talk about where this is likely to go. and back in the 1980 s, president ronald reagan made his own immigration reform push signing into law a plan that offered amnesty. the 3 million illegal immigrants already in this country, but the law did not exactly work out the way the president had hoped. coming up, michael reagan joins us on what lessons he thinks our current leaders could learn from his father s. our borders are out of control. it s also true at that this has been a situation on our bordee back through a borders back through a number of administrations and i support this bill i believe in the idea of amnesty for those who put down roots and lived here, even though some time back they may have entered illegally. ke a heart attack patient.
i urge all the politicians on both sides to slow down and think about what they re doing because they whenever they rush into something, they tend to make bad policies. megyn: well, the president says he s going to disclose the donors of this group and so we re going to know who they are. so if there s any, you know, pay back, if a corporation makes a big donation into the tax exempt group and then david plouffe and who is the other one, jim messina argue on that corporation s cause and president obama does something that then pleases that corporation, then we ll know because he s going to disclose the donors. well, i think we will. whether they have any direct relation to what jim messina is doing. look, i don t want to besmirch these guys either. they haven t done anything wrong. what i want to say is president obama is a hypocrite. because he said four years, many, many years that he would not do this. and now he is, and that s really the issue, this guy
well, some outrage over a new military medal for cyber and drone combatants. many veterans say they re furious, someone operating from a safe remote location could get higher than someone who face our enemies on the battlefield. trace gallagher has the details, trace. reporter: there are some groups who oppose distinguished warfare medal altogether. and asking for the obama administration to get rid of it altogether, but the most opposition concerns where the medals rank. leon panetta seemed to indicate when he announced this thing, it should fall below combat medals. listen to this. the military reserve for those who display gallantry and we should tip to do so and
