| Description: | Republican presidential candidate Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) will joins us to discuss how the comprehensive immigration reform bill survived a crucial procedural vote today and took a large step toward Senate passage. |
" Every senator here knows. That no matter what's in this final bill no matter how bad it gets it's still going to get 51 votes so any senator who votes. For cloture on the motion to proceed tomorrow is voting to pass this final bill."
" As Jim dement of South Carolina 64 of them voted vote for cloture 18774694322. And that's -- it's tough stuff it's not over yet but it's it's it's giving bad. Joining us now is we'll get to your calls we just wanted to speak to some people were down there in the in the get a capital but this first so hang on everybody will get -- your calls. Joining us now is another Republican presidential candidate the congressman Duncan hunter R. Of California is it isn't over yet --"
" Well it's it's getting closed up two billion over in the Senate and I think that that vote. There's clearly showed that there isn't easily a majority of senators who will vote for this bill when it comes up -- I think -- the Senate is set the stage for what I think will be a third wave of illegal immigration. Which is going to pulled out American wages and load our social services to the breaking point. So this is say this is a dark day for the nation. And it sure it's today in which -- senate is basically shall render and a -- under our borders I think it's it's going to be -- to the house now to stand firm. I think we've got to bannister do that should be a very close vote but now's the time the American people to halt their House of Representatives members."
" it's too late to -- call of people like Judd Gregg of Susan Collins appear in New England is it is it over on that the snow."
" I know I would I would die continue to call the US senators because they still have to vote for the bill in substance that even -- that they it's it's clear I think. Generally when you vote to complete debate that indicate future willing to vote for the bill so but on the other hand you know we still have time left and I think -- I think you never stopped fighting in this business so continue to call your senators but also start calling locked out."
" What's happened the Republican Party don't remember I don't understand as a me -- what the president appears to have lost his mind deny you have people like like Susan Collins who's running for reelection in Maine and this this is not. The way to get her campaign off the ground for next year."
" We know this is -- is this is a strange. It's strange combination constituents for this bill and believe me no other constituencies come from the American people -- you know I've I've been across this country back and forth I have not met citizen yet to do is come up to Meehan said. I support the immigration bill I think this is purely -- a is to construct it was built in Washington DC that has a constituency inside this sort of this circular road that their runs around Washington called the belt way if you go out into real America there's no constituency. And let me tell you you know I've I've built that border tensions San Diego -- I wrote the law that takes it across Arizona New Mexico and Texas. -- 154 miles. the Senate bill cuts my two cents down from 854 miles to 370 miles. And we've already passed a law that mandates a construction of the border fence -- the senator is walking back from border enforcement. Difficult to understand there are there thank"
" I know I know your son is in the the war on terror and but. How how you how to -- how the Republicans how does the bush White House asked people to support the war on terror when they're basically saying. We want to fight him over the air but if they get to Mexico go we want to let him come across the border on unemployment that."
" Well there's -- they're doing a lot they're doing a lot to try to security -- I Iraqi. Syrian border you think that they'd want to do something to secure this border but to date they've you know the president signed my border fence bill. October 26. That's that's seven months and they built a total of 13 miles of one layer of the doubled -- remember to double fence the border patrol road and beat. So they've only done they've done a little more than a mile a month you know you've had individual ranchers and farmers in this country that they can put -- faster than a mile month."
" It is it now when the when the bill the going to have a vote this afternoon in the other House Republican Caucus and I guess -- it's going to pass and say we don't support the bill all that sort of thing. Now if the bill is stopped in the in the house -- is is that the end of the bill or or his third Tom tancredo we're just suggesting that they'll have some kind of Trojan horse bill little come up in the house. And then there's so they can go to conference committee and I resurrect this monster yet again."
" There's you know if you have the if you have the support of the leadership about which is net and Tupelo is Sheehan her -- There's a lot of there's a lot of thank you can do a lot of sleight of hand a lot of parliamentary maneuvers you could undertake if you don't have the support of speaker. Then it's difficult that then that we could stop this of the house -- that would be the end of it but he -- the support of the speaker there's other ways to bring this thing up in the end -- you have to vote for something that has a bill and it so if you have a if we can get 50% plus one of the members of the house. Who will say I'm not going to vote for a before of this it's amnesty bill no matter what happens no matter what package it's brought back again. Then you can stop the bill which you gotta have enough members you'll stop who will vote against it no matter what package yet but the speaker does ever have the ability to put a lot to different packages"
" 18774694322 so what would you say the odds are that the amnesty bill's -- passed this year."
" You know I hate to give it eight to give it out I think you just keep fighting until it's over and and so I think we've I think we've still got a chance. And people need to call our representatives."
" especially in I guess the districts where there's a a Democrat was just elected for the first time in several elections like -- Few seats like -- Connecticut for instance are then there's two seats like that a New Hampshire is a matter for LL be that I'm just thinking ahead you know thinking of you know when our area here in New England."
" Eyes glistening in there and they're all kept everybody is counting the number of calls that they so call up and make sure that your representative knows where you stand on this thing. We've still got a war to fight."
" No okay and OK so that's I guess that's that's way ghost now what. What happened at brown backed by the way one of your opponents for president I thought he was I thought he had changed his mind and was against amnesty now he's now he's for amnesty again"
" take you're gonna have to having speak for himself but I I think last time last on this bill came up you voted for. And I didn't and they have no I didn't see is I haven't looked at -- at the roll call rosters so yeah our committee voted orbit -- but but that's consistent with the first."
" You have kit kit bond and again I I don't understand the the dynamics that are occurring here you have a guy a guy like kit bond a Republican who votes who votes. For amnesty and you -- the new Democrat senator from Missouri votes against it. Bernie Sanders of all people who you know well from house now in the Senate Bernie Sanders. -- better than the Republican senators from Maine and New Hampshire with the exception of Johnson known."
" Our our our lord help us. The."
" That was my thought too yeah. Okay Duncan hunter we appreciate you whether it's and you know what I keep fighting and so -- just keep on every once you do start call --"
" Just keep calling you you can't stop and and everybody's count on the phone calls of people comment."
" Thanks for the -- thanks for a check in on whether a stock."
" And I keep called on the Senate to mean they don't stop call on the Senate."
" Yeah 33 three Republicans in New England that voted voted the wrong way Greg Collins and Snowe and they're -- again they. But maybe not maybe not next year but they all have to face the voters eventually."
" I think we just we just need to try to convince. The members of the Senate and the house that this is really really important to the American people."
" Now this okay. We've seen all the polls Duncan they know what the numbers are it's -- what does it it's up 7580% are against this bill right."
" Well let that's true because two aspect of old one has -- his brat than the other is depths. And if if people calling calling calling people understand that this just like kind of like a Panama canal you know -- of senators thought the Panama canal -- remember that many years ago giveaway who it was a throwaway vote that people would forget about it they never forgot about."
" This is ten times worse than me and I and I frankly I think we have to let people notices a boat with depth. I hope -- I hope they get the message Duncan hunter thanks for being with us we have -- at Mellon bank."
" But by that -- governor a Republican candidate for president that he's a congressman from -- southern California at 18774694322 let's take a caller to this before go to a break Paul you're next with how we cargo have ball"
" orally. Until -- move on February student visa okay are mostly to explode as the -- believable. But bad turbulence this. It's -- It always refer back are apparently of people in my country with a that they could -- the Vatican. But I think most disgusting early in the world will little."
" Okay that's great president because we could pick you up the better off you go back that you could tell everything you damn well I."
" So I'd go to work she would -- good reason because I don't ride proposed over the broad brush. Who I have wondered could -- there have been a lot of stress."

" Do you believe Judd Judd Gregg voted the wrong way and Bernie Sanders is is better representing the American people and then Judd Gregg."
