Nothing I'm proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime.
You believe that not a single dime would be added to the deficit about a lot of people are questioning the mapping and -- -- promises like immigration.
Reform all for free as well democratic congress Luis Gutierrez says the president is telling the truth.
This doesn't necessarily have to add to the deficit is not afford Democrats about about who brought an undocumented immigrant to.
Less speaks.
Us congressmen.
I wanna get -- -- -- gradually within a second but I ended up some of the stuff the president -- balls and I stopped at about 330.
Billion.
And not I heard since -- gonna edited out of that -- -- about his word it won't.
So he's gonna have to find a way to tapes work he's not over any spending -- so boom tax cuts.
He's you look at our -- -- -- what I did I figured I do my homework on the immigration portion of this program.
And as you know I mean Grover Norquist is -- conference immigration reform we've been.
Heard senator.
Rubio yesterday -- and others and they're pretty.
Fiscal conservatives I would say I think we'd all agree on that.
But having to say this look eighteen billion dollars a year.
You spend -- immigration enforcement every year in the United States that's more than the DEA.
Secret Service FBI than all the rest of the federal government -- -- enforcement issues.
We will stay.
Billions of dollars once we legalize that and a lot of people kind of think about this says.
Will it cost money really.
You know what cost money to America that we cannot be innovative that we do not have that kinda -- -- still -- that is in effect we're talking about 50000 -- us so that we can generate.
And not have to sand technology and innovation and abroad we can do it right here.
Are what are you saying that -- -- that you're obviously -- -- the savings you will get from not having -- torso so much into what border security would that disrupt.
-- -- -- -- we don't really important security now.
That's what -- does not here here's what.
It wouldn't just stop you.
We currently arts can take our resources.
And better pinpoint those resource system to those who are murderers rapists who are really causing harm.
What you're doing is you have eleven million people.
Most of whom are working here and you're targeting them.
We legalize their status.
Bad as you know.
We put them to pay taxes look there's not going to be any immigration reform package.
That doesn't require people to fill out.
An income tax return at the end of the year and make sure that we're gonna.
Need the money correctly it's.
Reserves of the money for this whatever it says that I I guess the vets -- all over the place and would cost.
But for all the -- -- the brother wants to do so and then then -- would preschool for everybody and expanding better high school commitments around the country and an infrastructure program yet again more initiatives in -- Knology.
All of those things.
It's.
If John -- Evans that you're gonna have to find a way to bent forward and I I would take it that they cited -- the only way to Dave Schwartz is he's not cutting editing is to raise taxes.
On -- -- All right well I will answer that question and I just finished up the other thing is.
As we look at conference of immigration reform they're going to be fees and penalties in those fees and penalties will raise.
President allegedly that I don't -- so there's no values -- a good how we arrest.
The best I can I can I -- -- with cannot be.
Perfectly honest with you I think the rest of it I need to evaluated and examine just how it is we get those things -- -- you -- nonetheless I don't honestly do you I don't know I'd like depravity that I Scott do you think he has made that up but I was saying you know I want I want senate voted forum.
I like him I think he's a great guy.
I don't have an answer for a minute you know what.
What up -- what what what a difference I don't have the answer to that question when I went and did my homework but I will I would if you invite me back I'll.
We will anti government debt but you're honest enough to say that I dig that I -- I don't know I -- -- -- -- Internet beyond any doubt it was.
Think it -- sounded good to me and -- off on the make things we should do sure I would think in the same thing.
Where we gonna get.
The go to pay more -- not ready to go look for -- but I don't know how we do without increasing effect he didn't explain that -- -- that's gonna have to -- and I think I think I'm ready to give the president can't explain that part of the equation -- -- and -- -- last -- they're -- up -- -- yeah you're right.
Congress and it's always a pleasure thank you very much thank you.
