when we must remember english is 85% of the uk, then it may be very difficult for the union, the uk as a whole to survive. >> it has to change to become a federal union perhaps? >> well, i think the way to maintain the union and the uk i think would be to have a federal union but one in which you don't just have english, scotland, whales and northern irland like present and you decentralize the power but england is just too big. if you have a federal system in which one unit makes up almost all of the country, 85% of the country that gets very unstable if there are issues that divide the different parties. >> looking outside of the uk because separatist groups from all over the world and especially all over europe were looking to scotland to see which way they would vote and green land and sudania and all sorts of places in europe, what message do you think is being sent to the groups right now? >> one is this was a no vote, so it would have been a bigger, louder message had there been a yes vote and scotland going for independence but the other message i think is this produced high

the same thing happened in the uk. the uk is very reluctant to get involved after the experiences of iraq and afghanistan. as you probably know, prime minister cameron tried very good and failed to get parliamentary support for action against syria. so if it hadn't been for those beheading videos, then it's possible that that vote last night or yesterday wouldn't have been so clear cut and probably would have gone against the decision to get involved. that's a key factor. i think your other question was about the impact of returning fighters. i think that's an issue that needs exploring. there's a lot of myth around that. i'm not sure that many fighters will return. i don't think isis will allow them to concern. they represent a security risk. they don't want people to come out for public relations reasons, just like north korea and the soviet union. >> good point. >> it suspect as bad as it might seem, but there is a threat that we can't ignore. >> we appreciate it. thanks for coming in. slgz it's a pleasure. >> it is

breaking news coming out of the uk. david haynes, he was beheaded by isis releasing a video claiming to show the execution of this british hostage. he was 44 years old. he was a father of two. a daughter, aged 17. another daughter aged four with his second wife. he was abducted alongside an italian colleague while traveling in a car through northern syria in march of last year. they were on their way to safety at the turkish border when the car they were riding in was shot down. he was held captive and now isis is using him as once again, another example of how gruesome this terrorist network is. you tell us and you spoke in great retail of how many mistake were made prior to this, the biggest one being that our diplomatic efforts have failed on every single level. >> and this is a administration that told us they were going to be good at diplomacy. if you remember, julie, they made fun of the bush administration calling them a bunch of cowboy diplomats. well, the cowboy diplomats got 48 countries to join what they defi

not because uk possesses nuclear weapons. it was a great country because it has a cultural hint that offered a great deal to the world. i think scotland can be a great country. we have a heritage to be proud and identity and future which we can contribute greatly. you should speak to rest of international community not saying how great you are, but how useful you are. what you've got to contribute and offer. on that basis, i think the true greatness of the country depends. >> reporter: the main voice of the yes campaign there. the no campaign says we don't want a bitter divorce. we don't want years of wrangling of what would happen next. they believe scotland and united kingdom are better and stronger together. gordon brown is one of the key voices of the campaign. he used to be the prime minister of the united kingdom. he was speaking to bbc and said tomorrow when people go check their ballot, he thinks the united kingdom should stay together and scotland is better with the union. >> we have this unique partnership. go any p

the uk prime minister david cameron has defended his position on the uk referendum. cameron has been under fire after polls led to a tightening in westminster and financial markets. the pm says it was, quote, the right thing to do, but admitted he had been nervous with the outcome. i was extremely nervous and worried because i'm a passionate believer in the united kingdom. i represent an english strointsy. i'm also british and i can't -- about the potential break-up of our country. people might ask why on earth do you have a referendum? well, we are democrats. scotland voted for a separatist government but wanted a referendum. i think the right thing to do was to say, okay, let's have a fair, decisive and legal referendum. we all made arguments, arguments of the head and arguments of the heart about the deep belief in this country and the extraordinary things it's done in the world. in the end, the result was a very divisive keep tu nighted kingdom together. this is settled for a generation and for a lifetime. that is, i think, a great democratic affirmation of the u

is i think would be a massive blow to the uk's international reputation, after all the uk has pride in itself and being a power that has a long traditional of stability and democratic change and is able to go to other countries and advise them and go to people in yugloslovakia and it's harder to do that if it breaks up despite the strong campaigning in london. i think the extent to which the uk reputation is diminished will determine if there is a amicable statement and if they are able to negotiate a very close and friendsly relationship on defense and lots of other areas at least the uk can say we can handle separation in a civilized way but then i think it will be an enormous distraction and find less energy for sometime to come to cope with the problems of the middle east or the ball kins or ukraine or whatever it might be. >> fascinating stuff and appreciate that and we will find out soon enough in the next couple days which way it's going to go, thanks a lots. and people in fiji will go to the polls on tuesday to take part in an election since the military take over in 2006 an

higher than in the rest of the uk. a lot of people in scotland, show that scotland's contribution to the assets of the united kingdom is greater as the population as well though. long-standing debate. generally speaking, most by the institute of physical studies. other western european countries are facing as well. if scotland becomes independent, there are loads of scenarios, they depend on variables, it is difficult to say how it pans out. the middle of those scenarios effectively say, scotland would be able to function as an independent country, it wouldn't be the land of milk and honey. in terms of increasing welfare, reducing taxes, that is probably is not possible. it is probably somewhere in the middle between the stories, it depends on the price, it depends on, for example, scotland has a strong financial sector. the most important financial place. the largest financial center in the uk, larger than westminster or birmingham ham. some said they may consider moving to england f they do this, what does it mean. m

the rest of the uk is the largest trading partner for scotland and the uk exports a huge amount to scotland as well. the economic relationship is very significant. when they were concerns about what currency scotland would use, it was fundamentally unanswered. they stepped up to the plate, it was very, very vocal in asking the scottish people thinking long and hard before they went to the ballot. >> thanks a lot. it's really fascinating in every single way the way this vote affects people and what promised people to cross that box when they got behind the curtains at the ballot centers. we're going to check back with errol barnett at the cnn center who's been tracking all these latest results. he's got the big board so that we can see it loud and clear. >> hey, there. the sun just peeking out behind you as we wake up to these results and things unlikely to change from what you see here next to me. >> this is how things stand. 84% turnout. most voters. 55% jekting scottish independence. only 45% of voters right now with most of the districts reporting. about 31 out of 32. let me show you the

our reporters go out to the family of him and the people of the uk. we stand shoulder to shoulder with our close friend and ally in grieve and resolve. >> still to come on cnn, isis continues to threaten iraq despite a wave of u.s. air strikes. we will go live to the city not far from militant controlled territory. uh, hi. i'm here to drop off my resume. password? i'm sorry, i'm just here to what's the password. uh,synergy? datafication! gamification! university of phoenix has had alumni at every fortune 100 company... ...so we can help open the door to your future. go to phoenix.edu to get started today. that's the way i look at life. looking for something better. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. tw

it's stronger in the uk. it will be more difficult for it to take its place in nato and the eu in the way it said it wants to do. and scotland isn't just a small country with no tradition of being tich in the world. it has a proud tradition of having a real impact internationally. soite not like small countries around the world which vice president done very much. it wants to be out there and active and it will find it much more difficult in the country's 5 million people struggling to create alliances and secure its orders and its future. >> let's talk about those alliances. you said in the huffington post article that you cowrote that an independent scotland may not be welcomed by at the u ornateo. why is that? >> well, i think it's a different reason. because in europe, there are already these separatist tendencies, which the government in those countries like spain and belgium are not going to welcome another pressure in terms of noishl identity. so they're going to be very careful about the way scotland

it would be strong for the rest of the uk. the scottish government said it would take about 18 months. 18 months until independence day. that includes negotiating, entering the european union and nato. and the most sympathetic academic commentators that look at kind of public affairs that is very ambitious. again, others can comment on the feasibility that's not my area of expertise. but in this period, scotland will remain part of the united kingdom. that means there'll be elections that will see scottish members of parliament elected. and they have to as long as scotland's part of the uk, there has to be peace in the house of commons. that causes the first issue. and that would also come up, even if scotland votes no, this would come up. opposition parties have promised further deevolution. now, that brings several people in oakland to say, wait a minute, if they have so many things they can decide themselves about, how about the policies that only affect england that they're voting on in westminster. i think that gets tract

yes, these fighters will return to the uk and united states. and now it is nipping it in the bud in the middle east and middle eastern nations to do. >> thank you very much. >> and this just in. new video of uk prime freedom david cameron arrive nothing 10 downing street. an emergency meeting tonight. and at this point, we don't know what course of action the uk will take, none theless, the prime minister taking the threat. writing that the murder of david haines is pure evil. my heart goes out to his family and we'll do everything we can to hunt down the murderers and have them face justice no matter how long it takes. we'll be right back.

the things that bind the uk together are also the reasons that have declined, that the uk was really founded on the empire in a sense, but the thing that kept scotland interested in the uk for a long time. and the settlement, the memory of the second world war, and fascism, the trade union that bound england and scotland together. and the years where things really broke in scotland in a profound sense, that margaret thatcher had really broken up the checks and balances in the way that the political grammer of the way the uk worked. they all played out to give scotland a much stronger sense of identity than they would have had. even though that's not officially on the platform, it's very much one of the driving forces behind the fact that we've got to this stage. you know, and the individualism, some people do retreat into more tribal identities. if you got a wedding in scotland these days, for instance, all the men of my father's generation are wearing a suit. all the men 50 years under were wearing a kilt. that's something that's -- the way to explain that shift is in scottish socie

interesting from a uk perspective because the uk lass hopes that he's their top man in europe. he would be able to help limit this bonus cap to something that people in the city here are really, really worried about, in fact, quite a few banks that may disincense phi them. and it looks as though he hasn't been able to secure the pyre they hoped he would. obviously corporate govern nance comes under the justice department within the eu, too. but it still seems like a fairley odd move. you said to the uk prime minister, you tried to blom my appointments. >> it might be an issue that nigel could discuss today. >> i think you'll see that. he's been campaigning on just how limited the uk power is to really affect things in europe and, of course, whether the uk should even stay part of the eu. it is something that would really worry markets if mr. cameron was forced to hold a referendum and a worry that the uk could then lead to more banks leaving the uk obviously even for ireland. >>> till so come on the show, can the mites of mcilroy measure up? we'll take a light hearted look at t

beyond that incredibly difficult debate in the uk, because of a lot of external issues in the uk, and beyond what's going on here at home, the response to isis basically continues an three levels right now. the first level is diplomatic. secretary of state john kerry was in paris today for an international summit designed to secure commitments from as many countries as possible to contribute to the fight against isis. this paris summit follows a similar summit of arab countries hosted in saudi arabia at the end of last week. u.s. officials said yesterday that offers from the arab world so far specifically include offers to carry out air strikes against isis. although no muslim world governments are admitting to that in public even if they are reportedly telling that to u.s. government officials behind the scenes. so the effort to assemble a gulf war i style international coalition for action against isis is one level of the response so far. the diplomatic level. second level of the response is military already. the pentagon confirming late tonight that this is a newly expanded militar

it could bring some very dark hours for the uk. that possibility has not been lost on the british prime minister. >> everyone who cares about our united kingdom is nervous. we want to have the best of the both worlds, successful economy, the growing number of jobs we see today. the scottish unemployment rate at 6% is lower than the unemployment rate than london and show what a success the scottish economy is. the success of that combined with the ability of scots if they vote no to have more powers and more say hoefr how to run their own affairs in scott land. >> there are tight knit communities along the border. >> new burdens could be placed on businesses. and families and their land could also experience a split. >> brothers tom and scott neal a farm these lands in england. >> one quarter of the field is in scotland, three-quarters in england. theoretical theoretically, there may be a fence across this valley, a border fence. both fear independence could break their business. tom's farmhouse is in england so he won't get a vote.

i'm just talking about what's going to happen with the uk. the uk will be more inclined to withdraw from the european union. i don't think that that's a good thing for england, i don't think it's a good thing for the european union. it just has this domino effect. >> how did it get here? >> look, it's emotion. if you are up there in scotland. this is really emotional. and what's interesting in the few soundbites you had, the pro-independence people are very emotional. we want our freedom, we want our liberty. we're all bravehearts. fine, that's emotion. people on the other side saying, folks, this is a disaster. i mean, it is a disaster. i don't know how much of a disaster it would be if they do it, but listen, take a step back. and if you listen to the two sides. one's on reason, here's what's going to happen. you have nobody of real credibility outside of scotland and most of the people inside of scotland are opposed to it. no one from the outside is saying this is a good thing. so you need to listen to collective wisdom in this case and th

and it says notes that her majesty government will not deploy uk troops on the ground and in uk operations, but for now, they're voting simply on iraq, action in iraq. the crewalty that we've seen, the only pole that we've seen in the last 24 hours, the poll conducted by the yup, that really shows the mood by the public. and the majority of people, 57% we've got the numbers for you so you can bring it it. 24 against, and when asked, when the public was asked about air strikes in syria, which is not on the table that motion is not being considered at the moment, 51% said they were in favor, 21 against. it they're really against syria 2 to 1 against. john? >> thanks so much. >> a long day indeed. now, the fbi says it now knows the identity of the masked isis militant speaking in the execution video of american james foley. but it says it's not naming him. the militant dubbed jihadi john. nay believe he's the same man shown in two other beheading videos. >> this comes as the daughter of murdered british aide worker backs military intervention in iraq. david haynes was killed earlier this mont

so let's hope for the best. >> reporter: although the scots voted to stay in the uk the uk will unlikely ever be the same again. before the vote, prime minister david cameron promised the scots if they voted against independence they would get more control than ever on their financial affairs. he voted to deliver on it and said that all the nations of the united kingdom would get the same powers. >> to justice, scotland will vote separately and the scottish parliament vote separately on their tax, spending and welfare, so too, will england, as well as wales and northern ireland will be able to vote on these issues. all of this must take place in tandem and with the settlement of scotland. >> the uk conceding control, in order to maintain control. >>> still ahead, now that oracle has co-ceos, are two heads better than one running the company? the answer may not be what you think. >>> mixed news about jobs, the labor department says that 35 out of 50 states added more jobs in august but the unemployment rate rose in 24 states that same month with so many more americans looking for work. ge

in uk for a long time. the members of the second world war, fighting together in fascism, trade union movement was a another very powerful thing that blinded scotland and uk together. margaret thatcher had really broken up some of the checks and balances in the way the uk, a political grammar of the way the uk work. all these things are played out over the last couple decades to give scotland a much stronger sense of identity. even though that's not what officially on the platform it's very much one of the driving forces behind the way we've got to this stage. we have globalization and individualism create an apartment where people will have more tribal identities. to go to wedding in scotland these days, all the men of my father's generation in the '60s and '70s overinvested. album in 50 years under are wearing kilts. that's something that's -- a way to explain the shift that is happening. so identity is not on the manifesto but the ski-doo understand what's going on. as i quickly respond to the hugo, all

you were talking about if they actually secede from the uk there will be more in the uk and there is concern maybe ties with the european union already will get worse. that is an issue directly affecting the stock market right now. british banks and i should say scottish banks among the biggest ones. here is a simple question. the uk government bailed these two banks out. who actually pays for that? how do you deal with these issues? i am hopeful that some of this will go away. they will put together a package to appeal to the scots to let them have more independence and a lot of traders feel the no vote will carry the day. the bottom line is the global economy and i got an earful from venetians. bitter, bitter complaints about taxes being too high and costs being too high. >> uk parliament is scrambling to try to get a package together. it is a little late in the game. >>> goldman sachs is bullish again on stocks upgrading equities to overweight. is this the right move with september traditionally the worse month for the market. joining me now we have mike ryan, chief investment str

our uk business editor joins us here around the set. the pound has sold off around 2% since the weekend. that is not based so much around the uncertainty around the currency, but more the political uncertainty that a yes vote could face. >> in the latest that we've had in the whole of the uk, political risk is the biggest risk facing the uk economy and this is the most severe. whatever the outcome, even if the campaign wins with a narrow vote, there will be instable in the region. will that mean a flight of capital, a lack of investment in scotland? and the worst still is if we do have total separation, what happens to the currency and what happens to those scottish banks? remember, the issue here is not so much will an independent scotland get to use a pound. it's more if it uses the pound and begs to the british pound, the english pound that's backed by the bank of of england, what does ma mean for the financial institutions like rbs and lloyd's? and that will cause huge risks. we're likely to see a delay in the general election here

security council resolution passed in the last few weeks, can he tell us what plans he has to use the uk's share of the skewed council to build the international consensus he talked about? >> well, so far we've used the united nations the pressure on isil by making the people should not be providing resources or sanctuary to these people. indeed, they should be cut off. that is been the approach so far but we do have an opportunity through the u.n. to marshal international support and backing for the views that this isil so-called islamic caliphate is unacceptable and needs to be squeezed out of existence. that is what we should do and we should aim to get the maximum support through the u.n. for the measures right across the board that are being taken. >> turning to the threat we face in britain, people will been shocked and disgusted they were british voices on the video and the british citizens are part of isil. on monday the prime minister announced he would reintroduce location bars for suspected terrorist. he has our full support. can you confirm this will go ahead? can even indicati

the uk has an interesting perspective in this story, as it was a uk aid worker, david hanes, executed by isis recently. the uk prime minister david cameron saying they would take the fight to isis. and the uk is in a number of things to contain the threat, but it's notably absent from this current air campaign. >> reporter: that's right. so far it seems the uk is not involved on these strikes in syria. we haven't had an official response from the prime minister's office yet, and we haven't heard from many down trips in europe yet so far this morning. most of the leaders are in new york for the u.n. general assembly. what we do know about britain's position it is an essential part of the coalition against isis. it is providing aid to kurdish peshmerga fighters and surveillance flights. these are the ways that britain is helping. it is not participating militarily. one thing to remember here is that just last year, members of parliament voted against air strikes in syria. that is key, because it means it makes it much more difficult for the prime minister's office now to find a way arou

we've got some public finances data for the uk. >> we do. it's coming through august public sector net debt, exiting 1.4 trillion. and the net cash requirement was 1.5 billion. that's versus 4.4 billion. net borrowing came in at 10.8 billion versus 10.1 billion the year before that. >> and it's very worrying to see that public finances have deteriorated further because we've had a pretty weak start to the year. that's certainly a bit on of a concern, a bit of a headache for uk finance minister mr. osbourn. let's have a look at how sterling/dollar is reacting. it is off the lows, but down by 0.2%. let's stay with the currency webs because we're seeing the dollar with a bit of a pause after seeing that recent rally. it's been higher phenomenon ten consecutive weeks. euro slshl dollar, 1.2873. modestly higher even though we have eurozone pmis morae or les in line with expectations. >>> total continues to is he sell off non core assets in the business stream line. >> the objective is to have both 25 billion cap ex. with $25 billion cap ex we can

scotland unemployment is below the uk average. that may be a case for alex hammond to take up later in the day. i'm joined now by your namesake, in fact, david frost, chief executive of the association. david, talk about, obviously, this is huge by a part of scottish industry. surely it would be an opportunity. >> we are not part of either campaign in this great debate here. we're not telling people how to vote. what we are doing is bringing a contribution from the business point of view and from that point of view, we do see risks. we see risks around international support for the industry, around continuity of eu membership and around the business environment potentially. about 4.3 building strlg is exported. >> massive demand. where is that going? >> it's going all around the world. we export to around 200 markets globally, top markets, u.s. and france, but we're export increasingly to emerging market. >> and can you picture a situation where you have an independent scotland, you might have your own uk ti, wouldn't that be a bo

they've already tried to carry out attacks in the uk. and an isis defector we had spoken to a few weeks ago who had had interactions with some of the british foreign fighters that were with isis said that in what they were telling him, if they had the opportunity, they would carry out attacks back here in the uk. additionally, this isis defector believed that the organization was perhaps using a man of british origins or at least speaking in a british accent to front those horrific execution to send a message out to others who, perhaps, were trying to reach the battlefield in syria and iraq, were unable to so and the message there being that there's no reason why they couldn't support isis, i.e. carry out attacks back in their home land. the big message, this is not just about a battle taking place in a foreign land in iraq and syria, but it is, in fact, a battle that very much could be taking place in the uk. >> chris, what about isis? i mean, does isis care it may be encouraging in its own sick way other countries to attack them? >> no

for example, uk, norway, don't take russian gas. but poland, germany, the baltic states and southern europe, the risks could be pretty high. >> the risks are potentially high for the southern tier countries and those are the ones that suffered particularly in 2009 when we saw the gas cutoffs that you referred to. the situation is a little bit different now because there are improved interconnections in europe as a result of that crisis. we also have high levels of gas and storage across much of europe at the moment. so experts believe we can get through this winter even if there were a serious interruption. it's a significant amount, about 15% of european consumption. but i think we have to be careful not to be too alarmist about where these problems are heading at the moment. they're certainly very serious for ukraine. the country has depended traditionally on russian gs sas supplies. it has gas in storage and it has other mechanisms for securing additional gas over the winter, and its demand for gas, partly because of the economic

you also did not mention, max, the idea of taking passports away from uk citizens. this is really internal exile. you force people to stay in a country. the reality is, the british authorities have a duty and responsibility to protect all citizens. also, we need to take into account the legal rights of individuals, the civil rights of individuals because my fear is that basically by responding too fast, by not taking into account basically what lies at the heart of the confrontation, we play into the hands of isis and you have more men of muslim join this particular fight. this is what isis is capitalizing on, the astrainment and the reality is this is not the first way, max, as you know. afghanistan in 1980 and 1989, remember iraq after the american invasion between 2003 and 2007. tens of thousands of fighters basically migrated to the lands of jihad. syria and iraq are the latest. many of these -- how persecuted muslim's in afghanistan, iraq and syria. the extremist groups like al qaeda and isis. multiple tools. not only internal security, it will be fine. in term

to get an idea of scale, look how it compares to the uk. for months now, they've been mapping the unknown sea floor, and they've discovered two new volcanos and five kilometer high cliffs. in a few weeks, they'll lower two or three of these into the water and begin the fingertip search for wreckage. it's attached to a ship by a ten kilometer long umbilical cord. it has sonars that can pick up odd lumps. cameras that then double check if that lump is wreckage or just a rock. it also has an electronic nose that can smell jet fuel in the water, even if it's heavily diluted. but it's slow work, moving at walking pace, it could take a year. we still don't track airliners all over the globe, and the cost of the equipment means it will be many years before that changes. it's possible we'll never find flight mh370. but one expert who's checked the data is sure they're looking in the right place. >> i'm more or less 99% convinced the aircraft is in the spot they say it is. i'm really quite sorry the fact that they've wasted an awful lot of time look

leadership and a uk ticket into government. i think the yes campaign worked hard to try to. in fact, some people and maybe some of the people here, one of the big reasons they say to us is we want labor back in power. i'm tempted to vote yes. it wasn't necessarily the thing. i don't think that always worked. >> thank you very much. >> i'm going to talk about one turn out. there it is on the screen. this is interesting. dundee where the s&p is strong, very big hopes there of an extremely strong performance by the yes campaign. 79%. of course if this was a normal election night, 79% would be remarkable. in the context of this remarkable referendum it's lower. in fact, 10% lower. >> alex her man described dundee as scotland's yes city. that doesn't tell us dundee isn't going to vote yes. it does suggest we assumed the sbich was coming from yes supporters and the reason people were making such an effort to get out is because they were determined to vote yes. we may have been wrong. the quiet nose may have been the turning out in gr

just to give the uk credit, their s.a.s. forces have been on the ground with our special operations forces from the beginning, so what they do have, they are giving. next on "the five" there's another campus effort to silence radical islam. greg's got the details coming right up. >>> this weekend iowans got a visit from someone they hadn't seen the eight years. the trip fueled more speculation she's going to give it another go in 2016. >> hello, iowa. i'm back! i've got a few things on my mind these days. bill and i are on constant grand child watch. and then of course, there's that other thing. well, it is true, i am thinking about it. but for today, that is not why i'm here. i'm here for the state. >> senator tom harkin introduced him at his annual steak fry and he credited her with something that could possibly hurt her if she decides to rain for president again. >> hillary was not there when the affordable care act was signed into law. she was of course secretary of state. but i want you all to know, that her fingerprint

>> part of the uk. >> part of the uk. they will not leave. >> they will not leave. >>> issue three, immigration stall. >> one year ago this month, senators of both parties, with support from the business community, labor, law enforcement, faith communities, came together to pass a common sense imigration bill, but for more than a year, republicans in the house of representatives have refused to allow an up or down vote on that senate bill or any legislation to fix our broken immigration system. and that's why today, i'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration system as i can on my own without congress. >>> that promise was delivered by president obama on june 30th, more than two months ago. namely that he would take unilateral executive action on immigration issues, ie, without congress. those actions were expected to include easing up on deportations of illegal immigrants, and issuing work permits for possibly millions of these illegal immigrants and producing more visas for people who want to work in th
