    You may see immigration reform come through in pieces. I think we’re going to have to have a legal channel to meet the demands for labor in this country. At the same time security at the border is important. We share this border, we share the problem and we share the responsibility of securing the border on both sides.

    The first thing is we do have to have border security. The right type of border security; Will that stimulate the economy building the fence?...I’m against the fence. If you’ve going to spend $3 million a mile there are other ways, using technology, getting rid of the Carrizo, the plants that grow so high that border patrol can’t do their jobs. Our economy does depend on people doing certain type of jobs. I would say first, give them to the Americans, but if you have ag products or construction or hotel industry jobs that people don’t want to do those jobs, let someone else do it.

    Listen to: U.S. Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-CA)

    We not only have a right we have a responsibility that American immigration is not first good for America and second good for the immigrant. Usually it’s good for both. There is a legitimate argument that I don’t think people talk about. Every community is concerned about how many people are moving in and the impact on roads and everything else. These are the kind of open and frank discussions that we should encourage without being attacked for the dialog and going back and forth.

    Answer:

    Listen to: U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA)

    Oh there’s a lot we can do to fix that in the rewrite on No Child Left Behind, we plan to focus on those high schools that produce the greatest number of dropouts, to try to put together a plan for those high schools, to also focus on those schools that feed into those high schools.You know have about two-thousand high schools that produce almost fifty-percent of the drop-outs in the country and so we want to start looking at how’d we improve the graduation rates, how we help the schools attract students to come back to school, maybe even some of the students who’ve dropped out come back
