That, but that would be something shed be willing to give up in return to perhaps large-scale funding and thats something to keep an eye on, but i want to reiterate the point i made to you, since its an inception now. two things at play here. number one, the talk of border security and we still cannot quantify what border security means. number two, you only have 40 house republicans that have 20% or more latino districts. >> they like this, surprisingly or not. this is beneficial to them so the...
