childrens, why do you have to ch change it in the first place. i said this to you before the break, in annie hall where they say, you know nothing about marshall mccluen, i have marshall mccluen right here. thanks for being with us. professor eric foner. the wave of illegal immigrants where they re headed from arizona, are they going to other states that may be more welcoming? we ll have that ahead. and these two felons broke out of an arizona prison, they hijacked an 18-wheeler with a female accomplice. how did they get out of that prison in the first place, and does this have anything to do with the fact that this is a privately run prison have anything to do with their escape.
