The presidents position on the d.r.e.a.m.ers depends on when we get in exchange. is that a position? >> well, i think what it represents is a negotiation and what hes saying essentially is there should be symmetry in this negotiation. the president has indicated that he wants to solve the daca issue and so do most members of congress and we can get that done and it does need to be coupled with border security measures so we dont find ourselves in this position in the future. its hard to negotiat...

Will not allow democrats to hold the entire federal government hostage in order to get that six. they want to pass a spending bill and then do daca in exchange for border security measures. i think that republicans are not giving democrats the quick and easy caves some of them were hoping for. so now they may be pivoting to this longer-term beat up the president and congressional republicans strategy you saw mick mulvaney talking about. >> ive got to tell you, you are here as a journalist. you r...

Important and necessary, which includes drones and surveillance and more training and more numbers of border patrol. those kinds of border security measures are important. but the minority leader, chuck schumer, put on the table the idea of a wall, which is very dear to the president and his ego, apparently. and that just demonstrates that, in fact, they are in charge. they have both houses of the congress. they have the white house. they are in disarray. theyre dysfunctional. four republicans v...

On weird with the existing resolution, i dont know that the leadsership would need the vote of conservatives. the reason the democrats are holding their votes is because they want a daca fix. if this last election was about daca, hillary clinton would have won it. this last election was about border security. another way that a lot of conservatives would votes for this continuing resolution would be the implementation of border security measures like the legislation put together by the judiciary...

Got to it. what the the compromises were. senator durbin himself was going to compromise. there would be less chain migration. a couple of other things they would do less of. they were going to put money in for a wall. and other border security measures. so something happened. i found senator durbin convincing in that it was a compromise. i gave up stuff. there are people saying we want a clean daca bill. we dont want any funding for the wall. democrats might have problems with their left. but a...

Agreement and more broadly speaking, i have been to africa on several occasions and the people of sub sahara and africa have a good view of the united states. i am afraid this will set us back all because of these unfortunate comments. after all the good work we have done on hiv aids, and all of that i am worried that we will be in danger because of these very unfortunate remarks. >> yeah. senator graham spoke about daca saying quote we are no the going to get there by the president tweeting and...

And so what democrats are doing is that they are doing this in as much of a good faith as they can. they have always supported increased border security measures. yes, they supported billions of dollars in the past getting an immigration bill because it did have increased border security measures. it was not a wall. but here is my -- here is my -- >> they did vote for a wall it was a separate piece of legislation. >> here is my -- >> hold on, jack! >> here is my recommendation to the democrats i...

And compassion. >> the white house and leading conservatives are quick to say there is no deal and likely need more time. >> if it continues to allow chain migration, the effect of that would be amnesty for millions of people here illegally. thats fundamentally inconsistent with what we promised the american people. and i dont think its made better by a few token or fig leaf border security measures. >> six yes votes in the senate is a start but they need 60 to pass a bill. >> bill: what are the...

What they want when its being offered by the white house? >> democrats want to say they oppose the wall, but theyre defining as you guys did which is sort of a 2,000 mile massive barrier and yet theyre willing to support things that include money for physical barriers and things like improving existing fencing and border crossings and that kind of thing. so theyre playing things just as much and are definitely going to be willing to come to the table on some border security measures. which you d...

Sticking points. we have to compromise. its not a bill i would have written by myself or lindsey graham would have written by himself. we have tried to meet the presidents criteria of things that are important to include i think we are very close to doing that. >> also today the senate democratic leader talked about the types of security his side is willing to accept. >> democrats are interested in a effective practical border security measures. we want what secures the border the most. not what...
