Work Danny let me come to you first your organization released a report this week.

With some damning criticism of President Obama -- immigration policies explain the faults in the policy as you see them.

Well I hope everybody gets a chance to look at this report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform it methodically show -- week by week starting January 2009.

Every step the Obama administration has taken.

In detail who dismantle all.

US immigration enforcement.

Unless you are didn't wait wait wait and -- -- -- -- Pull all US immigration enforcement you'll -- all US and there is no longer any immigration enforcement in the United States you I don't -- -- only claim.

Listen to me you'll not be apprehended or put in proceedings unless.

You commit an aggravated criminal.

Felony independent of your immigration violations of their four.

If you come here on a non immigrant terrorist -- are what have you you will never be deported under this administration they have this this report is so important because it shows.

Understanding is the key for people to realize what's going on this report shows week by week how the administration in attacking the states try to enforce the law.

In eliminating the 287 G cooperation programs in pushing the amnesty bills in suspending deportations for the vast majority of illegal immigrants here.

In discouraging in one way or another all immigration enforcement how they have done damage Arnold this country may never be able to recover from the damage to the immigration control system.

This administration has brought about.

All right let me let -- Christian -- -- policy advisor to the new Democrat -- look -- of that there is no longer any effective immigration enforcement in this country down you are kind of.

It in the history of the entire country there's never been a president who -- enforce immigration.

Laws.

As well as the president has let's just start with deportations.

There have been over one million deportations in this administration.

President George W.

Bush in five years as president only deported one point five million.

Undocumented immigrants if you want to talk about 287 G and secure communities.

South Carolina Arizona and you -- all still are able to utilize this program this is an example of unprecedented cooperation.

Between states and local law enforcement officials to allow.

These communities too deep -- criminal aliens currently in their jail system.

Secondly this administration has made the border.

Region of our country safer than it has ever been there are 20000 Border Patrol agents currently on -- the border between Mexico and the United States the united states military is on the border between the United States and Mexico.

And FBI crime statistics continually indicate that there's been a drop in violent crime in this region on top of all of that cities like Nogales Arizona.

Have seen an 11% drop in crime in those regions and ended this is one other important point that I have to make here.

It is according to Arizona vs the federal government the Supreme Court case.

It is very clearly not a crime to be in the country without documentation it is not a reportable crime to begin this contract without document.

Let me let me bring let me bring Daniel back Indiana wanna show -- of -- was some figures.

Border Patrol apprehensions along the Mexican border.

Daniel -- -- in 2001 point six million.

In -- 2011 lost here 327000.

Just over that's a 80%.

No I guess you both would make an argument based on those numbers I mean Christian could argue that that shows that -- -- -- less.

Illegal immigrants trying to get into the country therefore all policies are affected you would say it shows that we just simply not doing the job.

Well I Abbie and Daniel Daniel first.

I have to say I mean it's it's awfully cynical when you hear people -- and for this administration which I'm not doing obviously and I'm not -- and for Romney either.

But come out here and try to bridge project that -- that Obama is the toughest immigration enforcer.

You know since gang is kind and I -- that was not the speech he gave to now Leo or two Hispanic groups when he goes out and lobbies but loved the point is I'm making -- very clear statement.

If you come in here on a non immigrant tourist visa B two tourist visa and you overstayed that visa.

-- -- you commit a serious aggravated felony you will never be deported that is a fact now.

I can sit here and throw a bunch of bogus data this administration is trying to project that they're really tough on immigration enforcement when basically the number of deportation.

Deportations is declining when the interior apprehension -- -- plummeting when they've eliminated work site enforcement when they sabotaged 287 G they sabotage real ID.

We're not securing our driver's licenses basically if it's an open sit on the interior and they are doing it because they're trying to pass a big Fannie amnesty bill in congress.

But what I want people to look at this report I can sit here and tell you all the stuff on TV go online -- -- report on foxnews.com.

I will see what I'm talking about all right Christian.

Listen but in terms of the national work -- informant.

And national workplace in in enforcement legislation.

That is something that has been in the house for a while the Republican controlled house it cannot even verify cannot get a vote out of the Judiciary Committee.

On the house floor because the house leadership has said repeatedly that they will not bring it up for about the president has been a strong proponent.

Of workplace enforcement if you want to talk about big years.

Under the Bush Administration finds have were up only 600000 under the president Obama's administration fines for workplace violations of hiring undocumented immigrants.

Are approaching seven million.

-- -- 22010.

It's probably nobody's more than that now nobody -- apprehended at a works.

All right gentlemen right apprehension I'm gonna wrap it up -- that -- as Daniel said president for the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

-- his report is online it's -- foxnews.com.

And I'm sure all of the the new Democrat network Chris -- it was policy advisor that has plenty of information.

As well about -- is obviously as I promised before the break a spot -- the debate gentlemen we good to see good debate thank you very much indeed.

Thank you all right we got it.
