Question set aside the promise that mexico is going to pay for the wall. important element of this argument for the president but just for this question. if the conference committee comes back and says as part of the comprehensive package for border security there needs to be the addition of more technology along the border, at the ports of entry, but also, additional barriers along the border. could you vote for billions of dollars to be added to add border barriers along the southern border wi...

Makes both parties look good. >> senator santorum, do you think the wall is off the table? >> im not sure its off the table. there may be elements of a wall or barrier -- this is really important. back in the -- when i was in congress, you actually listened to what the other side had to say. you are right, you tried to give them -- if you were going to strike a deal -- something they could look at their people and say, hey, we got something. if the idea from nancy pelosi and her side is, were no...

I would certainly prefer it not go this way. i support building the wall, border security and barriers. my hope is over the next three weeks, again -- the problem is, one thing i think is important to notice now is people that think the federal government is not important, its important. we see that in some of the problems that were mounting today when air traffic control airports and stuff -- that was just 20 some percent closed down. we play an important role. being that we play this important...

Well throw in 10 mr billion that includes some barriers that includes technology, other innovation not currently staffed. includes more immigration judges all things ive heard the democrats mention they may be willing to give, if the president gives something else. something big that the democrats havent been able to obtain so far like a pathway to citizenship for dreamers. >> i think democrats would be willing to have a conversation if they werent funding a wall from sea to shining sea. if they...

That did nothing except make president trumps life 34eus miserable, its a tough area to navigate. >> reporter: nancy pelosi announced democratic members of a conference committee that will work with republicans coming to find out a deal. youll find optimism on both sides of the aisle. congressman dan killde said this about president trumps wall request. >> are you open to funding for a wall? >> well, you can call it what you want. were open and continue to support effective border security which...

And i think that will be the more difficult conversation. how much should be devoted to physical barriers, how much to electronic surveillance, drone technology, drug-sniffing technology, and then this other question that you just introduced, which hopefully will become part of the conversation. what other improvements can we make to our border security and our immigration system that gets us where we want to go. hopefully, by submitting this to a really diverse conference committee, we are goin...

And the president touched on this a little bit yesterday, they say they have heard, the white house claims they have heard from moderate democrats throughout this shutdown, that they are willing to bend on funding the wall and they say they are hoping those are the people who are going to lead the negotiations moving forward. neil? neil: thank you very, very much. its not just the moderate democrats who might be more flexible on this. it includes the number two democrat in the house, steny hoyer...

Long as you got some protection for dreamers, did i get that right? >> a permanent solution, thats correct. kristin: a permanent solution for dreamers. jessica, would that be amenable to you? >> well, no. this is not a deal that makes sense. we need, clearly need more resources, barriers and other things that would help with this crisis at the southern border. thats a problem for the country. its not logical to pair that with a permanent amnesty for the people who received daca. what the preside...
