Our nation. these are great people, great, great people. we will never forget their noble and immortal sacrifice. this morning i also would like to briefly address another matter of critical national security, the humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border. without a strong border, americas defenseless, vulnerable and unprotected. i also want to thank the military for helping us out during the big caravan period, but now you have more caravans forming and theyre on their way up. tho...

Security. it is that the presidentments a wall. >> i think we know and the president acknowledged that if you want to call it a fence or a wall, it is not a concrete structure. i think there also needs to be acknowledgment that we have been building fences and members of this body have voted for fences and barriers and what have you in is a little ridiculous and rhetorical, lets come to a compromise and come to a deal and open the government. >> after everything that is going on, the presidents ...

With protection for the dreamers. >> he didnt get into those kinds of discussions? >> why? >> part of what we need to do is figure out how to begin the discussions again. thats why we are imploring members to convince speaker pelosi to come back. we have 650 miles of current barriers, walling, fencing. this is an additional 234 miles more. and what has happened and what im so discouraged by is that the facts of the massive numbers in the last quarter, the last couple of months of 2018 and contin...

Think we can see a scenario where he starts to change his tune. >> the question is how does he change his tune? does he say ill take no wall money or does he cut the traditional washington deal like ill take a half or a third. everyone is waiting and looking at the economic impact and looking at the polling. a half dozen republicans have gotten squeamish and thats not enough and it will take more than that to get mitch mcconnell to move and even though it shows the majority of the americans blam...

Pieces, based on recommendations from border patrol and other experts who work along the border. they are in places where a border barrier makes sense. last year the usa act was introduced bipartisan 25 democrats, 25 republicans who were in agreement the barriers will be part of an overall package. i dont think she is saying at all that there wont be any money. theres going to be money for border security including barriers. that is where we are going to land. if we can say is a country lets lea...

>> the fixation on the word wall. there is so much we are is a country united on. if we can reframe the conversation, we are seeing a lot of talk around the edges including from the president to be about these barriers, what it looks like, something different, knowing it cant be a 2000 mile-long concrete wall, it is physically impossible solution that is never going to happen and it is not going to work on its own. we have to have that technology, increased manpower so there is a total trap we a...

Productive. what do you think? >> katie: the problem with the problem solvers is the mere fact that nancy pelosi is the one thats going to control the schedule in the house. shes gonna control legislation in the house. the problem solvers are in the house, not the senate republicans need 60 votes in the senate. they only have 53 which is what makes things difficult for republicans to try to move things forward. what nancy pelosi has done with the house is passing legislation so she can say we ar...

Hostage. >> this president has an opportunity to not create a crisis and to not hold the american people and federal employees hostage. >> this is not about border security. this is about whether it is right or wrong to hold the american people hostage. >> martha: press secretary sarah sanders says that she was quick to fire back. she outline the plan for the president and what it help to present, additional technology at ports of entry, asylum for minors in their home countries and physical fie...

>> bret: you have all kinds of democrats speaking out against the wall, that it will work the congressman who may be running for president, who knows. he said that the wall is a racist reaction, it does not reflect the realities of this country. do you think a wall or barrier is racist? >> i dont talk in those terms. that is not the way we ought to look at it. the reason i mentioned republican senators and house members in effect at the house didnt bring a bill to the floor until they were ten d...

Against adversarieadversaries. i cant believe this is a debate were having. were asking for $5 billion. we have a plan to security the southern border. yes, it includes barriers. border agents need that, they need that extra tool in their till kit to defend the border. we have 400,000 people crossing, apprehended last year. thats a big number. we need to secure the border. this shouldnt be controversial. >> dana: thanks, congressman. >> thanks. >> dana: a live look at the floor of the british pa...
