we re bringing you the news from a to z. it s nasty out there. tropical storm debby just stalled over florida s panhandle. it s smacking that sunshine state it with high winds and heavy rain. look at the pictures. boats getting smashed around and it s going to get worse before it gets any better. forecasters are saying the sl - slow-moving storm could dump another foot of rain on florida over the next couple of days and then spawn more tornadoes as well. that storm is already blamed for one death. florida s governor has declared a statewide emergency. look at you. you found how bad it is. give me a rundown of how bad it is and if you re in the clear at this point. reporter: good morning. a lot of rain overnight. this is what people are waking up to. the water is shallow enough to walk around in but deep enough for you to get a sense of what people are dealing with. everything south of the highway is under mandatory evacuation. now we are hearing washington cull la county. t
the supporters of arizona saying this is a shot we have been waiting for you to stand up and have leadership. people forget russell pierce the one that crafted arizona 1007, anti-immigrant racial profiling law was ousted this past october because of mobilization of immigration groups. i m going to have to go. it is exciting, isn t it? congresswoman loretta sanchez and maria kumar, thank you for your time tonight. breaking news from capitol hill. it appears republicans will be voting tomorrow to hold the attorney general of the united states in contempt of congress. we will have eric holder s reaction coming up. [ morgan ] lopez lomong started running when he was six
but in any case, it doesn t make sense because he doesn t know how to tap back from the extreme position. please make a decision. if you are running for commander-in-chief, make a position. have a position. then the outreach people can do outreach. he add very straight forward position during the primaries. let s play what he said about immigration. so if you don t deport them, how do you send them home? the answer is self deportation. people decide they can do better by going home because they can t find work here. they don t have legal documentation it allow them to work here. maybe his coordinator didn t know about self deportation. or the fact he is not or the fact he is against the dream act, which is the simplest form of passing some comprehensive immigration reform or the fact he has strange bed fellows such as russell pierce, architect behind the arizona law that said russell pierce saying that mitt romney s immigration policy was identical to his.
