bill that gets into detail of how many ski instructors will be allowed to come into the system. american people are bored how to change the status quo which is broken on the margins and instead looking for big bold ideas. every college president in the country is saying you ve got to fix this, especially for the high-tech jobs. we do. that s why the house of representatives in the 112th congress passed a bill to expand the number of visas. these fights are about how to change the status quo. lobbyists are happy. it s not about who runs the republican party. do the leaders to want to have a presidential national future as a multiracial party, do they run the party or does mike run the party? the truth is, mike runs the party. mona, go ahead. it s primary season. i completely get it if you re house member on the right worried about a primary challenge having the debate come up in the height of the primary filing system. that might not be a great time from your perspective. as t
go name dropping, anyway, i had him on and he said, i m open to going ahead and reviewing our visa process for college students and that s a you know that s a whole nother 500 pages right there. i think all well and good. and then protecting the irish coming in here, meat packers, everything else, ski instructors, whatever is going on there in your life is your business. i m just saying it s now getting cumbersome and wielding and now getting to be like the health care law on steroids. i don t believe it s unwielding to the point it couldn t pass in bipartisan neil: no doubt it would pass. but then what are you left with? i would take this over what the house would not get done if they did a piecemeal fashion. by the way, swiss ski instructors, two words, eye candy. neil: okay. charles? i don t even know how to follow that. i will say, though, it feels like this is something everyone is saying is urgent, both sides want it. why make it more complicated?
it s like making sausages, it s not something you want to see up close and personal. neil: is this a slap at my people? no, not at all. [ laughter ] i probably eat a lot more sausage than you do. it s very with all due respect, why not let in these people we need? why not let in more ski instructors? i m not sure why dagen wants more swiss ski instructors. as far as i know she s a happily married woman. neil: as far as we know. but i don t understand what the problem is, let in more meat cutters. almost all of us like meat. we all love the irish. who doesn t? neil: i don t mean to make light of it. you re saying what dagen is saying. i guess my point is, good intentions that you throw into a legislation, just like after boston, quite properly we wanted to review the whole visa process and senator marco rubio, dare i
