Joining me is Joe Scarbrough, and former governor bill richard zorn, and Amy Klobuchar and bill richardson. Welcome to meet the press. This is meet the press with chuck todd. Two big stories dominating the news this sunday. We will go live to ferguson, missouri, in a few minutes, but it is the aftermath of the president s decision on immigration. In total about 5 million undocumented immigrants are shielded are from deportation under president obamas plan. Who are the 5 million . 4 million undocumented parents of legal american residents and 300,000 are young people who were brought to the country illegal h ly but when they were children, and the plan also affects children who were in the u. S. For five years or more and they can pass a background check. And who is not there . 6 million who are not covered at all and no pathway for citizenship for those who are not covered. And also, tougher Border Security promise and the deportation security promised. And on the gop, they are unified for one issue, how they describe the president. He is not an emperor, but he is sure acting like one. Unaccountable monarch. And now the question is whether or not republicans can get a bill passed through congre congress. The president says he has done his part. I cajoled and i call and i met. I told john boehner, you know, i will wash your car, and i will walk your dog, whatever you need to do, just, just call the the bill. I i asked my colleague john yang to go to arizona to get a firsthand look at how people on. Reporter el mirage is a place where the president S Immigration policies become real and potentially changing lives. I am going to be able to go to college now. Reporter myra gomez brought here by her parents ten years ago from el salvador is now eligible for protection. What do you want to study . I want to study to be a nurse and then a detective. Reporter and maria flores watched the president on her laptop the at soccer practice. How did you feel this is. I felt happy, because my mom is going to be able to come out of the shadows. Reporter and she is citizen, because she was born in arizona, but her mom is an undocumented mexican citizen, and now her mom can work legally and not worry about being deported. Tell me what is it like to be living in the shadows. It is a big thing, because a lot of people are like scared of the sheriffs, getting deported or not seeing their families ever again. Reporter this is Maricopa County where Sheriff Joe Arpaio is known for his tough stand on immigration, and he is already vowing to sue for the policy and calling it a free pass for the the undocumented immigrants. What about the people who come into the country and wait for years to get in here, and they do it the right way and how do you think they feel when you are giving to get out of jail free card to these 5 Million People . Reporter and we asked a number of republican groups for comments, but they declined. El mirage was founded by Migrant Workers from mexico who came here to put down roots on their own, and today, there are descendents who are documented an undocumented who still play a crucial role in the area economy, and nobody knows how many already work in farms or restaurants or in construction. What would it mean to this community if everybody who was undocumented was deported . Well, it would become a ghost town. It would be empty. Reporter fourth generation fa farmer kevin rogers says he helps the agriculture get the workers they need. Todays folks dont want to work in the fields and they dont want to drive the hay bailer at 4 00 in the morning, and harvest the lettuce and even at 10 or 15 an hour, they choose not to do it. Reporter r and for maria, it means going to college. It means going to college and not going through what my mom went through. Reporter a kind of future that anyone would want for the next generation. John yang, arizona. Again a lot of republican groups in arizona did not want to respond on camera when we sent our reporter down there. And no the socalled group of eight. They drafted the bipartisan bill in 2008 that passed the senate only to essentially die in the house, though technically a few more weeks in the session there. Republican jeff flake of arizona, and democrat bob menendez of new jersey, and senator flake, let me start with you sh you, maricopa Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and his lawsuit and possibly a koum more that states may file, and do you support the arpaio lawsuit against the president . Well, what we need to do is to put the legislation on the president s desk. You know, the president has addressed one small portion of what needs to be done with Immigration Reform. We have to do the Border Security, interior enforcement, and guest worker plan, and deal with those here illegally, and he has done one portion of the ladder, and i would rather move all portions and put oit on the desk. That is my approach. So i understand that, but for or against the lawsuit . I have not even seen the lawsuit and i dont know what it contains. Do you think it is appropriate to sue the president on the action . I think that the president moved beyond his authority, and no less than the Washington PostEditorial Board has opined about that. Having said that, from myle role in the senate, i think that we ought to put the legislation on the president s desk, and that ought to be be the response. Senator menendez, let me pick up on the legal case here. The question is whether the president can be impacting millions of people with prosecutorial discretion and things like that, and are you comfortable that this meets a constitutional test . Oh, absolutely. Look, 11 president s going back to president eisenhower on 39 separate occasions, issued executive actions on immigration over the last 60 years. And the most e recent sig miff cant one was president reagan and the first president bush who issued executive a actions that protected 1. 5 million undocumented people in the country, and just about 40 of all of the undocumented in the country at the time, and over 100 constitutional law professors in the country have issued statements to the president before he acted that this is well within his authority. So, look, as a reresult of the president s actions more felons will be e deported, and more Border Patrol at the southern border, and more people will pay taxes, and more families will be able to stay together, and those are the goals that are worthy of being achieved. Senator flake, is there are you against the policy that the president is implementing, because it does not sound like that you are . No, we did much of what the president did, and in fact, we went further in the senate bill, and in almost every piece of the comprehensive or other immigration legislation that has been proposed in congress did at least what the president did, but the problem is that the way he did it is going to be making it dif can cult to move t dif the other parts of Immigration Reform that we need, and he will make it more difficult because of owhat he did. And that is the point that because he did this, no urgency to pasS Immigration reform in congress . Well, not farther from the truth. Look, the bill that senator flake and i put together along with others that got 68 of 100 votes in the senate, we dont get those types of votes on major contentious issues, and with we did over a year and a half, an languishing in the house. They have time to pass that dill bill and do the comprehensive nature that will strengthen the security, promote our economy, and preserve the history as a nation of immigrants, and so there is still clearly a persistent urgent needed to do that. The president could not and did not extend his Legal Authority beyond that which he could, a and this is why he could not deal with the whole issue, and the congress did it, and the house needs to act and only one person who stopped us from achieving that, and that is speaker boehner. Put the bill on the floor and it would pass and we would move forward. I want to table immigration for a second and ask you both a quick Foreign Policy question. The house Senate Relations committee released a benghazi report, and findings, no intelligence failure prior to the attacks, the security at cia facilities sufficient, and security at state Department Facilities inadequate, and some of the talk thing points that susan rice used were wrong, and no wrong dogs, and none of the conspiracies found, and is it time for the republicans to drop the benghazi Conspiracy Theory . I always thought that the benghazi problem was the way it was cast by the administration, and the remarks of susan rice flew in the face of what we knew was going on, but with regard to other things going on that were addressed with the report, yes, i thought that for a long time we should move e beyond that. And senator menendez, the president has said that he will be expanding the troops in afghanistan beyond 2014, and President Joe Biden famously said in 2011, they are getting out of there in 2014 come hell or highwater, and that is not go going to happen. Are you comfortable with the president s decision . Well, look, we have to preserve the essence of what we a achieved in afghanistan in pursuit of our own National Interests and National Security which means making sure that the taliban is not resurgent, and along the afghanistan pakistan border that we deal with the remnants of al qaeda there, and i think that the actions are appropriate, and in the other issue, i am glad that the witch hunt is over, and that is a bipartisan report, and it is time to move forward and have the aem Embassy Security that the xhoit tee passed. Is benghazi a Lesson Learned for what is going on in iraq . Well, they are not exactly the same, and in afghanistan this leadership, the new presidency invited us and has signed a bilateral Security Agreement essential for us to have the troops there, and in iraq, we could not get former Prime Minister maliki to agree to that, and that is a big difference. Senator bob me mendez and senator jeff flake, thank you both for joining me. And i want to bring in Joe Scarbrough and reporter jose diaz belart. Now, bushs plan for undocumented immigrants, this is the plan, 63 approved it, but now, here comes the republicans for president bush, a smaller majority, but a majority were in favor in 2006, and essentially the same plan that president obama is pushing and guess what, near 80 of the republicans opposing it, and are you shocked that the Political Party of the president matters so much . Well, the are republicans and the democrats turned further on president bush, and turned further on john mccain and almost cost him the president ial campaign to go under. So this is a tough decision for either party to approach. But for the republican party, and i think that the president has overstepped the bounds and wh he has done may be proven to be unconstitutional if you look at the case law and go back to youngstown. And if you go to look at impeachment, and political suicide and shutdowns, and political suicide and defunding, it is not possible. What do you do . You get a system right now that has 11. 3 Illegal Immigrants in the country, and you can only deport 400,000 a year, you will defund the agencies more . So it looks like it is turning to the Supreme Court makes the most sense, and if they just use the words that president obama used in 2011, 2012, 2013, where he said well, hang on, joe, i will play them so you dont have to read it. This is not how the democracy works or how the constitution works. Because i want to set up jose here, and i want to set up the remarks of the president , himself, questioning the the Legal Authority. There are enough laws on the books by congress that are very clear in terms of how we need to enforce the immigration system and for me to simply through the executive order to ignore the congressional mandates would not c conform with my appropriate role as president. We start broadening that, then essentially, i would be ignor ignoring the law in a way that would be illegal. Im not the emperor of the United States, and my law is to execute the laws of the United States. Jose, you have researched this and you are finding many scholars with disagreement of this. Yes, in context, that is january 30th, 2013, and the first time he went back to dell sol high school. And he was cajoled. And optimistic and i have tell you that he did not feel that he had the authority, and that is a very specific question that i asked him and about the docuparents, and he did not include, and this is important point, and on the statement of immigration, h and this is not a wishy washy president. And he has deported the entire population of houston to deport someone. Every single time someone is e deported the question that someone asks is what about the kids born in the United States of america, and should they have their families destroyed, because their parents are undocumented . And he is dealing with this issue, because the house of representatives didnt do squat. Well, jose, you just, and i have to say this, and every time i see the white house or the democrats say he had to do this because congress wouldnt do anything on it, i know that there are liberal justices that cringe, and say, okay, that is what the separation of powers is for, and if you go back to controlling the precedent, the president s executive orders are are looked at most suspiciously when he does something against the will and stated, and you were with the president friday, and should he have been trying to, should he have Given Congress five more months and said, essentially, i will sign the order june 1st if you dont act . No, the president didnt take this action before the election respecting the will of you think it is the right call . No. I think that he should have done it, because i think that it would have increased the turnout in colorado. Look, i was around and i am that old that i voted or the Simpson Mazzoli in 1986. And then president George Herbert walker bush signed the executive order just like that, 1. 46 million, and just like president obama did and no uproar because they did the right thing. But it is for a specific bill though, and that is what the president ial order worked, and not the make new policies. And but they had it and this is a critical point. That is pertaining to a 1986 bill passed by congress, and it is cleanup operation, and this is cleaning up the bill, and it is a difference, yes. And the president here is making new policy, because he does not like what the congress has not done and that is what makes all of the difference. It is surprising that the republicans knew it was coming and they are talking about, lets have a response, and this has been coming down the pike for months. Something, anything. Here is your bill. And the politics, 10 million families are now affected by this act and by the Affordable Care act, and they will be loyal. And yes. And so is maria and her family. And i have to apologize, because and that is why they have to pass lemg slagislation. We will is more on this. And the tension awaiting the grand jury decision in ferguson, missouri.
