well thanks for coming back with us on talking politics and now it's called i'm talking politics in western pennsylvania our reach because of the cable program with the horizon and comcast now goes out to approximately three hundred thousand folks so instead of just talking politics and peter which is going to be a probably our main apis is we are going to be stretching out a little bit we reach over to the gateway area gateway high school area monroeville up to towards the airport and down towards monongahela so we hope all those people are enjoying the program and today we have a very busy congressman congressman tim murphy thank you very much for being with us today greatly with us i'm really glad you were able to take some time out of your busy schedule but i think that the issues that we're going to be talking about today are in fact very important not just between now and the election but very important to all of the citizens of pennsylvania and the country so we're going to start right off i had told your folks instead of having flock shooting everything because there are so many issues out there the topics that will be discussing today will be immigration card check or salad shell which we discussed a little bit the last time you were here and cap and trade and then i'm going to go ahead and sort of let you have the floor to discuss the issues which you're seeing from congress that are coming up as soon as possible a lot of let's just start off with immigration if we will some organizations that what i find to be good research material whatever i do the show have rated you very highly on immigration and but it's immigration reform to the idea of making common sense not immigration just opening the doors they have given you and i have to apologize to everybody my computer is acting up this morning but i have a paper here that shows if you've earned a b plus and a b plus and one of those areas that they give you an a plus on is reducing anchor baby citizenship  now would you like to discuss what that or anchor baby citizenship means that when a parent has a baby in the united states a baby is automatically a citizen what really opened my eyes on some levels of this and i think united states may be the only country that does this many other countries say you have to live here for a while the citizens before your child want to make that status but when i was at the laredo texas border and watching the border patrol and what they try to do with very small numbers on our side  very overwhelming numbers of people come across the border they show how the ramps and the bridges coming over across the rio grande were backed up a mile or so with traffic waiting to go through the border check and also the pedestrians lined up on their bridges are also backed up many many blocks waiting to come through and be checked but there was one lane on this bridge that was empty and i asked what that was for and they said oh well that's were pre approved vehicles to come over and i said what's that well they said maybe trucking companies are constant going back and forth maybe like fedex or some is going back and forth pre approved with their cards or good zygmunt checks somewhere else and the ambulances the ambulances i said yes the gambians is it could be someone is having severe health problem they're coming to our hospital or could be someone in labor having a baby which struck me is not what the intent of all regulations are was to create this quick passage way that someone could simply one in labor could drive across the border have a baby and have citizenship and then be open to all the benefits american citizens that's not what we're supposed to be doing and i really feel that that we're that nation of compassionate citizens but that doesn't mean we need to open up everything to provide support for everyone who comes into these circumstances i would much prefer that there be some waiting times that like they have another country so we have to work here or be here legally of legal status and not simply cross the border to have a baby because otherwise we end up picking up the tab and that's not the intent of being compassionate to our neighbors during the research of the program i found that you are absolutely correct the united states is the only country that is not a third world country that in fact has birthright citizenship it's everybody else has stopped and there's reasons for that and it's it's frustrating whatever we have the immigration we probably have that our government permits more of a problem based on roles that should have been thrown out probably years ago well and i said i'm going to go ahead and part of the problem that we have today and that's again and i have to apologize is my computer is acting up a little bit but i'm going to show you the response of your opponent in this race who in fact has come up if we can have the slide please he did he failed to answer any of these questions that were sent out to him by this organization numbers usa from our immigration he failed to answer it and in fact that's the starving because something so important that we have today that in fact he doesn't feel that it's worth his time the other problem that i have is the casey report card that we have and then you know you've got a b plus because you're trying to be reasonable on many of these issues mr casey has an f minus because he has literally bit the bullet on every giveaway program that we possibly have how he has failed to do anything about  granted some people come through and give false information with regard to their so secured a number setter and they employer is not always at fault with that but they ought to take reasonable steps to check into that and we know there are serious problems with people stealing or misusing so security cards and that's a crime and that's another one of those crimes by which i would say if someone has done that and being over here that's when those reasons say you are not entitled to citizenship and i believe that we need to clean up our visa system because it's hopefully backlog there's a shortage of that for people coming over temporary work visas or those who have special skills in medicine or engineering in areas that are needed and we need to clean it up and fix it but but also if someone has committed a crime edition of the things there should be no shortcut is no shortcut to citizenship and i'm not agreeing with those that say there's automatic amnesty and i know my opponent says he actually worked on legislation that creates amnesty not sure the accuracy of that but that that's a claim and and that deeply disturbed me it shouldn't be that way but there's another issue too which is which has grown since th time some of these bills were presented and that is this there was a huge war and it is it can't be anything less than seen as a war on the borders of united states mexico and u s this drug war has already led to twenty eight thousand heinous decapitations tortures from drug lords fighting the mexican military the mexican police have tried to stop them in many cases you see mayors and police chiefs murdered as well but the attitude of the mexican president although he's trying to fight that when he came to speak before a joint session of congress and blamed the united states for this blamed our drug laws and our drug use etc as a cause of this problem it was a very disturbing to say half of the congress has jet ski in the lake in the border moved up to killing his wife keeps saying why isn't our nation even looking for him taking part in this stuff to well it's upsetting what i hear from some of the citizens is instead of our nation working to help protect our borders instead of our nation  taking steps to stop the constant flow of illegals coming into our country beefing up border security and getting a military if they're necessary to do that and building that the fence is cetera our nation is engaged in putting up signs in border states saying that's a no man's land stay away because it's too dangerous because so many drug lords are fighting in on us territory they just tell us it isn't stay out of u s territory the second thing is the approach of our white house the approach of our attorney general is to sue arizona so instead of dealing with the problem we're suing your own states when all that arizona saying is enforce the federal law the very careful how they went back on a twelve page bill on the way back and re crafted that bill to make sure there was nothing in there at all about pre identifying people into any sort of  thing that would consider to be prejudicial but our president and our attorney general sues state instead of taking a stand on this and this is something i've heard time and time again that citizens are just outraged by we have a serious problem this is not just twelve million americans coming into this country this is not just people coming to this country to have a baby and become citizens and have the full benefits but this is a serious war that's leading to the murder of american citizens and creating no man's land where people feel they can't even protect their own home anymore and we need to come to the aid of our citizens in our country and that is failing right now well on that note we're going to take a break and we will come back we'll continue the discussion on immigration and demonstrate what program that senator reid is trying to push through during the l
