welcome to pure michigan. leland: pure beauty right now, doesn't get much better than this on a july 4th weekend. this brings up an important point. what a juxtaposition of images from what we're seeing at the border and what we're seeing at these rallies against president trump's immigration policies and what we see here. is this evidence of a divided country or evidence of a liberal fringe. >> i think it's a liberal fringe that isn't thinking clearly about what they're somethin ask. most of the people that are talking and protesting that we see in the background, what they're asking for is open borders. it costs about 250,000 net for every illegal immigrant that comes across our borders. there's going to be millions if we say come on down. we just can't afford it. leland: president trump has gotten in a way behind the democrats on this issue. he says look, all of these rallies, all of these signs that talk about abolish i.c.e. and end i.c.e., he thinks they are absolutely great for republicans like yourself

why michigan. the community really grew after 1914, when henry ford had the auto k day and industry took off and that's when a lot of the muslim immigrants came. so both communities, the christian and arab community and had m arab community have more than a century in michigan now. arab, not just lebanon? > yemen, morocco, palestine, the big groups in detroit are iraq, lebanon, toes are the big palestine and yemen. >> is it, in fact, largest native arab of people in the united states? -- o michigan does not have michigan as a state does not have the largest population. look at, a city like dearborn, which is roughly a hundred thousand "people" half americans or ab there is a smaller city, which s the majority muslim, it's yemen, bangladesh and bosnian, majority in some places and muslim majority in some places, there is g else in america where you see of intense type concentration like you see in detroit but numerically, other states, new york and california larger numbers. >> and detroit, of cours

a lot of those jobs are in my home state of michigan. or proven agriculturaly economy supports one out of four jobs in michigan. p people look at us as in all the urgent auto state. we are, we make things but we make things that we grow things and i don't think you have an economy or middle-class, somebody makes things and gross things. that's what we do in this bill is critical to both of those things. things and grow things andke it's critical to our michigan economy and the economy of the country. even though agriculture supports the livelihood of so many family, the rest of us may take for granted the work they do and how much we depend on them to be successful. after all, we all have to eat and the food on our plate comes from a farm or a rancher. you may find dietrich orchards which produce the apple slices your kids might eat as a snack and the men and women who own and operate so many more farms in michigan and across the country. they are the reason our grocery shelves are stocked with the safest, most affordable food in the wor

michigan. should note that coming up in about 15 or 20 minutes this morning, we will be going to lansing for stop number 37 on c-span's 50 capitals tour. there's a shot of the state capital, the c-span bus parked right outside the state capitol, joined by the of thent pro tem michigan state senate. that is coming up at 7:30. for now, republicans only talking about your message on immigration. kerry in north carolina, go ahead. caller: good morning. generally i agree with the president. he is somewhat bombastic about it, but the nuts and bolts he's. correct. this goes -- he's got correct. ,his goes back to ronald reagan the bill that called for securing the border, granting amnesty to those that are already here, so on and so forth. once again, lucy and charlie the illegal aliens that were here at the time, which were estimated at about 3 million, got their amnesty and the border was never really secured. the funding never came, so on and so forth. here we are 33 odd years later and still having

that's the michigan state part of this. and i also think that we -- we need to be able -- we're going to ask in our new policy everybody volunteers, volunteer organizations. we're going to ask usa gymnastics under the new policies or any issues more regularly that we should be considering with dr. nasser. we just assumed assumptions that given the status of the olympics and the assumption that they would have the best, we didn't consider that assumption. so it's a series of assumptions. >> that concludes my questions. >> thank you, senator. i'm going to wrap up here very shortly. just a couple of questions to conclude. what's your understanding -- when were you made aware that dr. nasser was no longer associated with the program? >> i believe that was -- i would have to look to see the exact date. but i believe it was -- >> how did you find out about it? let me ask that question. >> i received the one e-mail that stated he it wasn't going to be at the secret classic. classic. and then i believe going -- it was either he was

guest: in my state of rich michigan, marijuana is legal, and i supported that. it was a voter initiative a number of years ago, and it passed by a pretty good margin. we had votes in the house. there were some writers that -- there were some riders that no funds could be spent, and i supported our state law. you make a very good. some illnesses -- i did in epilepsy walk in kalamazoo just this last week. additional marijuana, particularly the oil from those seeds is something that may be a miracle drug to try and help alleviate some of those epilepsy fits. i think you have seen some bipartisan support for that. a number of states now have gone the way the michigan voters have done, and it should not be an issue for people like me. host: about 15 minutes left with congressman fred upton. i want to change topics for a second and talk about your of that discharge petition to force a vote to protect young, undocumented immigrants. that effort failed. .ere is the headline on it "the great moderate republican flameout is how they describe it. that it would not say fail

giving the secretary's advocacy in michigan. there are serious and justifiable concerns under the president leadership. the department will not hold csp grantios accountable for fulfilling new program requirements, amend i'm concerned that the secretary will not prioritize funding for high quality charters that seek to improve student diversity in their replication and expansion efforts, a priority i fought to include. this will not be the first time that the department has ignored equity guardrails in the law. in 2016 i released the findings from a gao study on racial and socioeconomic isolation in public schools. the gao found that on the whole, public education was resegregating and that rapid growth of socioeconomical and racial isolation in charter schools was a contributing factor. a number of highly segregated schools more than doubled between 2001 and 2014 from 7,000 schools to 15,000 schools. during that time there was a decrea -- while there was a decrease in the segregation of non-charter public schools the segregatio

>> so flint, michigan, is in the middle of the great lakes. we are surrounded by the largest source of fresh water in the entire world. and for half a century, we had been getting water from the great lakes. but that was deemed too expensive in our near bankruptcy state. so the state decided to save money by drawing water from our local flint river, but that flint river water was not being treated properly with corrosion control to prevent the lead that is in our plumbing, in all of our plumbing really in the nation, from coming out of our plumbing and into our drinking water. >> and just to be really clear, they were trying to save $10 million. now, i know $10 million is a lot of money. but is it really in the cost-benefit analysis of providing healthy, basic -- i mean water. you can't live without water. >> you can't live without water. it is a basic human right. you cannot put a dollar, a price tag on our children's health and really their entire future when it comes to lead exposure. so this was done as a cost-cutting move, and the greates

especially in michigan. i wish we were having a robust discussion about how great magnet schools have been in the districts that have them. we have a level playing field where we have an elect of school board where the schools are not opening and closing based on the management and creating that instability. we are here today, and i want to focus on online charter schools. many for profit. online classes can expand educational opportunities for students, especially in rural areas. online schools typically require a parent or a learning coach. they have to monitor students during the day, in fact in my home state of oregon, less than half of the students who attend online charter schools graduated on time. that's 30 points behind the state average. in 2015 the center for research on education outcomes at sanford but a report examining the performance of online charter schools and 17th date including oregon they found that online charter schools have it on -- overwhelmingly negative effect on student achieveme

john in michigan, on the line for independents. caller: you were talking about how great the affordable care act is. prior to the affordable care act , i was told i could keep my insurance. at the time, i had a plan with zero deductible, a 10% co-pay until i got to $1000, and everything was covered but my doctors office visits. that finished. currently, i have a plan that is $500 a month with a $6,500 deductible before they cover anything. basically, what i have now is what they tell me i don't qualify for. i have a catastrophic plan. >> dealing with the nation's opioid epidemic. vodse mid afternoon as the members are heading this evening to the congressional baseball game. live to the house floor here on c-span. the speaker: the house will be in order. the prayer will be offered by our chaplain, father conroy. chaplain conroy: let us pray. we give you thanks for giving us another day and our creatures can come before you and ask for guidance for the men and women of the people's house. there are many issues facing congress. some a

the influence over the sector is no longer confined to michigan. based on my experience i wouldn't wish the policy's nomination. the word choice sounds good, but the system of choice requires my wife and i to drive around the city for hours to get our children to and from their schools and requires us to attend countless open houses with programs, dual enrollment in advanced math and reading and state-of-the-art technology but with no mechanism to ensure that we are given wha what we've been promised. this is my children's lives and their education. they don't get to do it again. even more than choice, they deserve a quality education and parents deserve a voice in that education. thank you. >> you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. chairwoman, ranking member scott, members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. my name is marty west, associate professor at the harvard graduate school of education and a member of the board of elementary secondary education of the commonwealth of massachusetts. it's o

[cheers and applause] they came out more popular than a man like

within the university of michigan may past that hate speech code. not one sort of anti-black racist was prosecuted under the code, but pro-african american anti-whiteness advocates were prosecuted on the grounds their speech was racist. when great britain past hate speech code, jewish, advocates for israel were among the first to be prosecuted because united nations had just declared design is a is a form of racism. we have to be careful about the definitional issue, how it's going to be admitted. you're talking by giving power to people. the last thing i would recommend is most antiracism advocates are very sophisticated about existing structures of power and how you can't trust certain kinds of authority figures. and so i think it would be helpful to take that same wise sophisticated political analysis of what happens when you cower people and ask, if you give the power to punish hate speech to sheriff and district attorneys and mayors and university presidents and attorneys general and then presidents of the united states, how are they going to u

i think you have seen some bipartisan support and a number of states have gone the way that michigan voters have and it shouldn't be an issue for people like me. for scalia 15 minutes left of congressman fred upton. want to change topics for just a second and talk about your support of the discharge position on the force of votes on undocumented immigrants. that effort failed. here's the headline from the atlantic the great moderate republican is how they describe it. can you explain what happened from your perspective. >> guest: i wouldn't say that it failed. the immigration system is boomingth. fixed and doing nothing just perpetuates whether it's employers are people the dreamers our ag committee, the works. what the discharge position did this force the issue to come back to the house. as you know they had a couple of bills. they didn't get 60 votes and that couple of bills that got 54 votes. there were some where nothing happened. centrist groups moderates working with our colleagues on the other side of the aisle 216 signatures on the discharge which forces the issue out of com
