Take that and the on the Russians and the on down the old gal likes the sauce she has for cocktails a day got to drink to be the queen of England and she's 91 yes oh and by the way Prince Philip just retired yesterday was his last official day is pretty awesome and he's 96 Yeah and my guess is he's going to be on the on his day so we've got all that to get into but we start with we start with of course the big dustup yesterday the president made his announcement and we we played that for yesterday that he's supporting the Senate bill. Senator Tom Cotton and Senator produce to roll back legal immigration to cut the number of green cards that America issues in half and to enforce the mandates which technically are part of the current immigration law that there be command of English for someone to emigrate to the country and this of course has started all kinds of new controversy forget about illegal immigration our talk about illegal immigration right well just a little background I have argued for over 20 years that our entire immigration system is broken that from top to bottom our immigration system doesn't work for the country because. If you talk to folks who have gone through the legal immigration system it takes years it's expensive byzantine process and then of course you've got all the people who cut the line America has issued a 1000000 approximately a 1000000 green cards a year every year for decades now consider those numbers that's like adding a major American city every year the population of Boston is about 890000. Now with suburbs it's much bigger but I'm talking about the city proper So it's like adding a city larger than Boston every year we're adding 10 Bostons to America every decade through legal immigration. And then you add the number of people who come in illegally and you can see the massive explosive growth that we've had. Of people coming into this country the vast majority of whom want to be here want to be Americans at all odds good commingled are some real trouble makers and it's a problem. Because the nature of work in America has changed when we used to have a system that was based on need especially when we were building and carving you know a nation out of out of a wilderness we needed a lot of laborers who could come in and they didn't have to have a high skill level there was work for everybody the nature of work has changed dramatically we're looking at how many stories have we done just in the last 3 weeks about robotics that are coming in and taking over jobs that were once menial tasks and we're going to see more and more and more of that So what should what kind of workers should we be bringing into the United States this is a legitimate conversation to have I have no idea what the number should be I don't know whether we need to cut it in half or should be 3 quarters of what the number should be but the idea that we just have anybody who can get here can get a green card comes in and then with family reunification brings in their relatives down the road I think is an obsolete model for the country and you're right that discussion needs to be had and it seems like when somebody opens up the discussion people just get angry right away well and they don't want to have the they don't even want to talk about you know they don't and they start quoting Emma Lazarus the poem from the Statue of Liberty and of course that's exactly where it went when White House aide adviser Stephen Miller was talking about this yesterday in cnn's Jim Acosta got into it with him the Statue of Liberty says Give me your tired your poor your huddled masses during retreat. Does it say anything about speaking English or being able to computer via computer program or. Aren't you trying to change what it means to be an immigrant coming into this country if if you're telling them. You have to speak English can't people learn how to speak English when they get here well 1st of all right now it's a requirement to be naturalized yet to speak English so the notion that speaking English want to be a part of immigration systems would be actually a very a historical Secondly I want to get off into a whole thing about history here but the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of Liberty Enlightening the World as a symbol of American liberty letting the world the poem that you're referring to that was added later is not actually part of the original statue of liberty but more fundamentally history but more fundamentally saying history not represent I'm saying that when the center is ocean a lot of them saying that you know she had to come into this house in the notion that I'm sorry no seriously you sound you really have to question sounds like some rugged National Park revisionism Ok I wish that Steven Miller and if we're going to have this argument and we're going to have this conversation and we should have this conversation I wish everybody would just put the cards on the table Stephen militias say yes we are really envisioning our immigration policy that's what we're doing because that's what they are doing it's a different day I mean let's stop her to don't try to spin it that it's really just a continuation we have done this in the past it was the alien Exclusion Act back in the 798 there was a we could essentially close the borders in the 1920 s. Specifically because of fears of Bolsheviks and and our kids coming into the country we banned Asians from coming in the. Chinese Exclusion Act after the transcontinental railroad was built we've done this in the past and modern liberalism of course looks at these moments in our history and looks at them and condemns them and it's a mixed bag historically speaking but we have. I've to go back to something fundamental nations have immigration policies for the benefit of the nation not for the immigrant now we want the people who emigrate to the United States to succeed because they're living here and if they're successful we 16 a rising tide lifts all boats in fact but you don't shape an immigration policy and no nation on earth does so you don't shape immigration policy for the benefit of the immigrants You bet you shape an immigration policy for the needs of the country we're not a charity work country and we have been and we should be and will continue to be a humanitarian beacon for the world we will continue to take in people from oppressed lands. On a humanitarian basis eccentrics cetera but we have to face the reality of the changing nature of work we do not need millions and millions and millions and millions of more low skilled workers because the nature of work itself is changing and there is a limit you can't just take everybody unlimited there's just no possible way and if there are legitimate needs of industries for low skilled workers and we find that we're not able to fill those positions down the road well that's what work visas for you can then hang out a shingle and say we are accepting people in these categories of work but getting a grip on this entire immigration process is necessary I have to say that there's and here's where there's a connection between border barrier whether it's a wall or a fence I don't care and the green card issue you can reform green cards all you want you can announce all the policies of immigration reform you want but if you don't have control of the border you're you're whistling in the dark because if you don't control the borders this. Matter what laws you pass because people are going to continue to bypass your controls so there's a linkage between these 2 issues. Jim Acosta didn't seem to understand that the c.n.n. Reporter or you know the president of the c.n.n. Debate team and here he is getting into it with Steven Miller over the issue of green cards Jim what the United States is going to see that you can see here also your statements also shockingly historical another perspective which is if you look at the history of immigration it's actually ebbed and flowed We've had periods of very large waves told by periods of less immigration and more immigration during the really we've had here immigration right now the u.s. Wants to go is actually want to get everybody sweeping change to surely James you don't actually think that a wall affects a green card policy you couldn't possibly believe that do you actually the notion that you actually think immigration is a historic law before World Population United States today with the give you Jim what do you on talking about how border crossings do you really want to research and you really at c.n.n. Not know the difference between green card poll see any legal immigration 08 I mean are you really don't know that well there is a linkage between the wall and green card policy because if you don't have a border wall your green card policy almost becomes a moot point but I understand what Stephen Miller was trying to explain to Jim Acosta it's the it's the lack of distinction that the mainstream media has between legal and illegal immigration and you can understand why because they eliminated the term illegal immigration I won't use it the headline they were raised in a news articles they just talk about immigration as I've said a 1000 times it's as if there's only drivers there's no such thing as a drunk driver the only category a we have is drivers. And it's not true they're not reporting its policy may can't cover the story they are so in the tank in the open borders side that they literally can't cover the story all right we're going to cover this story mentioned that for some reason Queen Elizabeth's cocktail hour which. Only as cocktail hours got reported and she's $91.00 and she's not going back according to Business Insider for cocktails a day a gin and do Benet with a slice a lemon I. Know that a glass of wine has got the gem flies dry gin martini from this lunch line measure and champagne before heading off to bed as speaking of head not to Champaign Dr Dalia doc to. Get I've only had 2 drinks myself. Just a little bit or. So now we get these reports periodically in the boozers always love to share these on Facebook any time any kind of Health report comes out that says moderate drinking is good for the you know whatever everybody shares it but of course the real bruises are moderate drinkers they're big drinkers but she's a tiny 91 year old woman and she's not going back for cocktails a day I know it I know it you know the Europeans they just know how to deal with their alcohol maybe it's because we're doing it wrong in America you know what does will do well Coke you know Jack and die you know well well me do a lot of spirits and mix soda with it or amaretto sour with a splash a soda and well put sugary Morris you know cherries in our drinks was who are having some gin there was a study that came out last month saying gin can increase metabolism and maybe wine gin and not mixing it with the sugary juices and soda pop is the way to go but whatever she's doing or oh you know whatever Betty White is to and I want to do a magnet of 95 years old and she was like all over the movie still I tell you something you know we really need to you know whole you know follow what are close to centenarians or Dylan I mean as long as we want to live that long and full of ever to be to a t. But I outgrew I think what it doesn't really help people live longer is for some it relaxes. It prevents them from doing other vices like she has one little piece of chocolate and one slice of cake Ok I can get through that you know before I even eat breakfast so maybe what the alcohol does you know in Europe is a p
