Today the president. On Friday. As if trying to convince himself. That's the manipulative. Games then he plays are the appropriate way to do business in this country. -- executive order issued Friday he allows some 800. Thousand illegal immigrants those under the age of thirty you came to the United States. When they were sixteen or under. Allows them to stay if they meet certain conditions they can remain in the country without fear of being deported. The order which also will allow them to work was a dramatic move. That rallied Latinos and such battleground states is Florida men and Nevada and caller I don't know Mexico and Virginia. It is a cheap political move designed. To pump up the president's. Reelection bid nevertheless the question remains is this appropriate policy. For the United States America's so the president had gone about this another way it's very similar to what Marco Rubio the Florida senator who is Hispanic. And who is considered a likely VP pick for Mitt Romney is very similar to a proposal that he has been pushing. And as you look at the the disaster the Obama campaign has been. Working under the past several weeks says as the campaign has turned against that the economy has turned against the Obama campaign. And he's lost his mode -- this was an attempt on Friday in emergency attempt. To change the course of the campaign to change the focus to put. Mitt Romney on the defensive. Now and these are young people who started our schools. Could play in our neighborhoods. You're friends are kids. They're pledge allegiance to our flag. There -- Americans and their heart and their minds and every single way but one. On paper. -- we talked about this last week before the president made this decision -- announced this decision. We talked about this very thing whether people who were brought over here is babies or children. With no knowledge of what they were they -- legal situation there prior to boarding the -- Whether they deserved a break when they say are are the class valedictorian. And you know they've lived and American life and they know no other country. And I think we have no choice but to move in that direction I mean forget why do you think it's good or bad or or not. The job the political reality is that Mitt Romney will concede. Points like this before he has elected president if he's elected he will concede these on the campaign trail in the fall. He will have to do. Because. It's simply too emotionally. Charged an issue too compelling an issue. To be able to put young children out there or or -- you know people teenagers up on the screen. And -- Americans with the idea that these people who appear to be as I'm as American as anyone. Are gonna be sent to some country they they have no memory of having looked and I I just don't think that Republicans want to be in the position. Of fighting that fight and when you have this kind of pandering going on it's very effective. Mitt Romney needs to be able to improve his 20%. -- 27%. Support whatever it is. Amongst Hispanic voters in order to win some of these swing states so political reality is. That are Republicans are had a gonna have to compromise. Somewhere. On the illegal immigration in order to get all we really need and that is to hold the line. To make sure their rewards are not given. To those who have maliciously come into this country with the idea of circumventing our law we don't want them rewarded correct. And I don't think. I don't think you can win that fight if you don't compromise on something with the emotional Tug. That eighteen year old graduating high school. Facing deportation orders when they've been here since there were two years old and only speak English I I don't think. You're gonna be able to win that fight and I think the whole thing crumbles. If you don't. Pick some points to concede in this one -- think we have to 617. 2666860. Euro reaction please to the president's position. To the president's move now clearly it's malicious on the part of the White House. It is an attempt to do on a -- and be unilateral basis that would she didn't bother to try to do. When he had control of congress and could easily pass something like this never -- why didn't he try I think they were waiting for a moment like this. They would prefer to do it in the divisive. Malicious manner that they're doing it right now Al questionable legality. -- this works better. Why would they do. The right thing when the politics of this. Is so effective. You hold off you hold off -- hold off you don't give your base what it wants and then you throw -- bone that has great emotional appeal. This delivery of this message today I was. Pandering. A -- certain population and I believe this was very very political and. Well obviously it's very political it was funny on Meet the Press or one of -- to talk shows when they brought this up there was laughter. In response at the panel and in response the idea. That in debt that the campaign manager and former campaign manager the president who's now the policy director of the White House. Said there's nothing political and everybody did you know had a nice little chuckle over that it's obviously. They -- about its effective nevertheless. How upset are you overrated. Do you how upset will you be when Mitt Romney announces that he's gonna support something similar. 61726666. I think it's a political reality is no way around it. There has to be some compromise all around the edges. Of the immigration fight in order for Republicans to be competitive. With would with voters who were sympathetic to these arguments and I I don't think his problem when -- -- I don't think really if you were the ones faced if you worry can a judge in standing in front view was an eighteen year old who -- brought here when he was too. And speaks no other language and appears to be a model citizen I don't think you'd wanna send them home 6172666860. Were brought to this country by their parents. Sometimes even has anthems. And often have no idea. That they're undocumented. Control and they apply for a job. For. A driver's license for the college scholarship maybe even graduated top your class. Play country. You know nothing about. This destroy what the president is saying doesn't mean he's not being malicious but he is plucked off. He is plucked off the part of the issue that has the most emotional appeal appeal in order to throw a bone to his base which has a more excited. And in order to -- demonstrate to others that. He is legitimate when he says oh just wait for my second term all the more for you Paul good morning -- RKO what do you think. Part of thought Paul. You know while I think. You know on the structure I think you're dead dog. On now the way that the Republicans and look at servers need to be looking at this scenario. But I didn't think they eat. Mitt Romney needs to be going out here aren't all over the way that this is -- I mean it needs to come out -- standup then you know I guess we're gonna have to do support so I agree that this type -- Told but the thing is this cute you come up issue you know what that does. The meat potatoes so this is all good or at all rational. But the problem is we decided. 200 and so like you to go -- we we're not gonna ever expect. And somebody throughout the sole arbiter. Yeah are there other interestingly Romney didn't take that approach this weekend he did not attack the president on the unilateral. King like behavior. He he said that this will make it harder to do the right thing. And that's true. That this diffuse is the issue and is actually worse. And the immigrant community should be mad at Obama just is the gay community should have been mad at him for what he did on gay marriage but they're so thirsty. That any drop of water they take it Gerri good morning your NW RKO. Good morning Sarah. There's jitters through our listing rule whatever it is for VH reform just birdied. You are now able to stay in this country and it not be deported. If you're a -- -- here under the age of sixteen. And -- you applied. Under the age of thirty. -- they knew do you have the right to stay if you know if you're not a criminal all those other circumstances are -- What you what you are asking these questions -- any anybody anyways. So. You just open the doors are like to see. That there is no longer. Any restrictions for anybody. To become a live here anymore because it's it's one that's thirty. Had to beat sixteen -- Are you prove that's very -- yeah the doors already wide open. Because it there's probably twenty or thirty million people here in the country illegally so the question you know this is one little pieces that they say this is 800000 people. So our and it's a big chunk of change and anything you what the Democrats do in terms of -- cheating us. On and on adding voters who they know -- -- voters is a bad thing for the country but politically I don't see anyway around us. It don't you find it compelling that somebody who are brought here when they were two years old shouldn't be sent to a country in a relived. You know I read the papers this week yeah I I read the globe but I read the beautiful articles about the DOD young girl that. The development why do you know you want if you wanna paint pictures they're like that you can grab. Fortified kits this week that it's something illegally. True true tragic think you're absolutely sure if you're -- -- you wanna take to get. I'm just saying be realistic and tell -- do you think. The public is are we almost got -- why do we discussed. Immigration anymore that that jets and the discussion if you were to concede this old issue. The say that they are committed doctor stated that wiley debating it any more because -- open the door is saying it's okay because see it's a great tips. Let's let -- stay. That drill -- war argument that it. I don't I don't know why I don't know why are so why are you saying it's all or nothing -- immigration is a word that labels. All kinds of different circumstances. And the nature of any policy making is says there's gray area there's little circumstances that a -- share in the larger picture. That's the nature of all policy. Strategic blog -- thirty. You're the Euro are to be I don't think that the career. Are way ahead not a serious not saying everybody in the country illegally under the age -- -- you have to have been brought here by the way sixteen I don't think -- a right cut off point. And when legislation is written. It can be written in a way that makes it palatable. But the point is it's 800000 people it's not twenty million it's not fifteen million -- thirty million. It's safe -- Can't make it illegal aliens there in the country and who you know they government says twelve million. Well my and then a million have left since the recession. Okay but is it -- teased me get if you actually -- -- -- that you're you're actually you have no policy. -- -- ten years ago five years ago -- -- help build a wall beyond our talk about the you know dirt you know I eat it too -- from your have a. I don't see chemistry and contradictory I'm still for the wall on still for -- as a matter of fact I think the only way to get to a hard line. Is by showing you can compromise and stuff like this Jeff -- -- -- good morning. Did you ask the -- Let me say -- the doorman at a Rodney. Politically of course all this go to your onto labeled racist going like that it. Oh boy -- -- and all of a 22 year old who's been here illegally trying to get a citizenship minorities got 30000 dollars. And they can an eighteen year old who don't get you don't they don't pay if you want. When you're under a year old but. The 22 year old whose wife who's been here trying to come in legally is -- Really I know he's he's here illegally going to be just trying to get citizenship spent 2030 doesn't all of a lawyer -- -- -- -- that guy. And cursed at the other guy you just all the -- eight years old yet about you can take eagle you know your your consolation. Every every time the government makes a rule it's -- some people I don't know what you say you know -- current what are and you know it does. Want to win. And anybody. That I I don't see how does anyway around it that's all. I needed either they're here. And the president actually accurately described them as a virtual Americans they've lived their lives as Americans therefore they're americanized. And you wanna take a kid. -- -- may may -- was in diapers when they came here and send -- back. What does what does this say to. A couple letter to you all right now live somewhere else could say look we're gonna go and let's get over that quick Google look for a child. Nobody that's so that's a problem you you would have to put in somebody you know when you write legislation on this the president -- is doing it. By a manipulating. The way the regulations are carried out the way the laws are carried out eventually is gonna somebody's gonna pass a law on this. And I think that's why Republicans have to seize that writing and passing opportunity. And talent that. This upholding the constitution I think he should be impeached and Rick called this this currently you can being can like the other callers don't he can't do that. Though I'm all for that if we can impeach him on this I'm happy with that I just wanna face up to the political reality Mitt Romney is going to compromise. On this kind of policy he passed him. He's already have you know she's she's a totally different language -- about immigration now. -- reason there's no more hard line like there was in the primary. He was pandering in the primary that's how it goes on this stuff. They say what they want you -- did you hear them saying during no of the primary they've -- -- on the extreme on the edge and then they move. To the senator would you repeal this order if you became press. Well let's step back and and look at the issue and the first of all we have to secure the border. We need to have an employment verification system to make sure that those that are working here in this country are here legally. And then with regard to these kids who were brought in by their parents through no fault of their on their needs to be a long term solution so they know what their status -- You see that. So he's he's gonna go along with this not what the president did he will attack the president on the way he did it. But this will become the law of the land that I I don't think there's any reason be irate over it let's draw the line -- draw a line built the wall on the border are more Tia. Hard line. On people who violated our law but two year old student violate the law -- victims in this case a bad parents. And the parents -- key to this from my point of view is that parents should yet nothing the -- should be in worse condition in terms of their opportunity to come here. 617. 2666860. Or stay here illegally that I should say. We'll talk more about it two minutes that taught fiber -- 680 WR. Some people want me to bypass congress can change the laws on my own medicine that's. And how our democracy functions you know that's not how our constitution is written. What's changed from last year although in the fact that the president now needs Hispanic voters to get reelected nothing's changed president can't change the law itself. Hi this is not a permanent fix. This with prosecutorial discretion. The -- -- -- it's all good or it's all rational. But the problem is we decided. 200 sort gears to go there we were not forever changed. Well yeah there's no question this is malicious -- This is divisive ruthless brazen. Politics at its worst. That's. What the president's. Legacy will be whether. He's out of office in six months or whether it's another four years he will be viewed as somebody who is -- pushed. Audacity to a new level in terms of political opportunism and aggressiveness and malicious that's that's -- -- this. Itself lust for power that knows no bounds. Nevertheless I think he's done something good for himself theories put Mitt Romney on the defensive. On a difficult issue for Mitt Romney. And a difficult issue for Republicans. Because he needs those voters the president. Has decided his people David Axelrod has decided he does not win reelection by attracting any new voters. The only way UN's reelection is by motivating. His voters. About this election and getting them excited about showing up. That's the only way he wins reelection so what does he -- he does a war on women. He does immigration he picks out different groups of people and panders to them to get them excited why do you think he saves that gay marriage announcement. Until this a few weeks ago. Do you any good morning -- NW RKO. Good morning I don't someone who is trying to get his parents over. From Japan and since the that the nuclear power plant -- problems so they have over there. -- last year. Immigration is giving him at such a hard time because. He has to prove to them that they will not be dependent of American here we have seen. 800000. People supposedly could be more. -- And largely I believe they would be aid dependent class. Mitt Romney must take a hard line and he must stand up for the constitution he must fight a president. Quote Google already made unconstitutional. Law appointment. Why would they be dependent class. Our new young workers and this year we're do you really believe that side absolutely I don't know why I don't. I don't believe this why why. Of idiocy to get utilities and Oklahoma all Morrison. Old TO NNT's younger people are not dependent could talk. Could talk and give me a break on that come on you're not gonna pull people claim they're not dependent they are working why I don't know. CNY. Kids who came here when they were too are less likely to be hard working the people who were born here. -- matter of fact I think culturally could argue that in the opposite track. We cannot afford them an -- But they say it's clear and obvious we need we cannot make you don't -- jobs. American citizens desperately need young people in the stands no we don't we have so we're not illegal people we do not want and I could actually help your job for right now you're making -- Different argument. Now a -- a different argument they are people who have lived here as if there's citizen since they're young. I'm not saying I support what the president did. But this policy is going to happen. And we might as well embrace -- we should support Mitt Romney who's going to embrace it. Because he has studio elected he's not gonna let this stand in the way of him becoming the next president after all the years he's put into. It is the right thing to do for the American people and here is why. -- the reason because. These young people are gonna make extraordinary contributions. And are already making contributions to our site. Actually our our economic future depends on getting more young people into the country. That's one of the ironies of immigration is we need more young people in order to support. The socialism that we've they've become accustomed to. Mike good morning you're on -- jail. HR ICO two desperate little quiet bankrupt administration so we'll let you know question I'm with you on what. But as far as us already know they getting there predictable bit parrots all -- -- style -- working for -- -- our picture actually my parents say below are those judge's bench and I knew all the -- -- out to -- She can we say almost picked until my parents lied to me -- -- -- -- so stacked hoops. Why I think kids -- a pretty lousy analogy. You. Look at some. -- whole lot more fitness -- -- matter what your parents tell you there is no lack of information out there and you have to pay your taxes. Thank you name it straw what it's the same -- their parents block the nearest illegals -- YouTube is pretty clear you're born -- -- Iraq strategy abroad anywhere near. True 62. Iran should listen. Well that's true and there's also immigration law that allows people to become citizens. And out of the question is how you dole it out in a way that's constructive to the country and is fair. And I just think in order to be able to argue for. Our construction this with the other twenty year thirty million people who are merely -- This is one place we're gonna have dug a little ground frank good morning GO. -- carried on doing well. This man and other Taylor he announces program this Obama character to -- he's president Clinton's sold -- -- -- I wrote a -- to immediately deliver for our -- that's awesome right. Yeah I gave them a thousand dollars because of a carry a lot of future so bypassed simply don't expect Iran made aware of. Hang on a -- frank listen to this and see how you feel about -- thousand dollar investment but would you repeal this order if you became press. Well let's step back and and look at the issue and the first of all we have to secure the border. We need to have an employment verification system to make sure that those that are working here in this country are here legally. So the baby but Romney said in kodi is he's going to on the same path. Here's some leaders like QB I don't know if you agree with the strap but you're so right breaks. I think these people are coming here illegally should be sent home until we're eighteen in addition to have a high school Apollo would know watch the -- the rest. Gonna be allowed to come back to delete Kuwait. It -- anchor babies told people should be simple. -- high school from their country and come back. -- -- -- how but the person who graduated last week with our high school diploma got brought here when they were two years old. And are going off to a great job because they're wonderful vibrant exciting members of our society what does one do with them. I think -- be so vulnerable to a process. You mean I mean it's only -- that do immigration process station -- -- sponsored basically cultured -- system. So literally I know people came from Mexico City here illegally to demand that teacher that the that the woman visited Hearst. And it took -- nine years. Exactly so I and I would agree with the across the board except with these kids. Because there are not the ones who came here illegally they got brought here illegally by their parents with no knowledge without the ability to say no I won't go I'm gonna stay here they were here. To show you wanna take that person who's lived here their whole life essentially and stated I'm US to go back to a country you don't know you don't speak the language you don't belong. And split their for ten years while you apply to come back -- Multi district include kid that never do anything right -- on the -- would -- trichet French sky outside is open around Riche true default -- while he's going to be arrest and charge just like all these other people -- -- -- that's sort of saying the process of these people. Even though he's a sitting there and don't expect. That I I don't get it I'm now I understand how you feel I share the feelings about immigration it's a horrible abuse of our country I think it's a coup attempts. By the Democrats thought I I I think this is one place you have to -- little slack can move on to a bigger fight Terry good morning. Typical Beckett -- that same collection before each of the parents of the children say. But what other steps. I I would say that parrot that part of the deal should be those parents go home. You are fourteen year old kids in school system. They stated Eric does well. Well it's up -- it did give a kid as a minor. It's up to the to the parents what happens to the kids whether they apply to stay here or not but but. I would cut -- tougher deal on the parents of these kids to know there's a penalty for what they did wrong. Well I don't -- Antonio the dark theater -- LT. I noticed what you're saying is -- -- at eight AUN idea in my mind you should be evicting the parents of any kid applying for this benefit -- for this just -- mention of the law. Any kid applying for that should his -- have to leave the country. Try it because it did they -- there is a pro are short this is program for adults for people over the age of sixteen. All right you're not talking about people can't stand the country and if they can't -- in the country then they can go home with their parents. The point is people who have graduated high school people wanna serve in the military people or go to college in this country. Are prepared to contribute. Maybe -- got a job already but they're living. Below old underneath said that the seams of the country because they were brought here when -- -- child it's an attempt to fix it up for those kids. I'd take I'm sorry it's -- If they're over sixteen you'll stay up about it sixteenth. They have to have been brought here when there under sixty. Okay so -- sixteen they get the bad. Know if there if that will break it down afternoon 6172666. Seats exceeds the top five or so 680 WRK.
