i have no idea. as you pointed out correctly, you can think you re very, very close, have bipartisan support, and the president decides to blow it up. he s going to be listening to laura ingraham. we elected you because you said you would make changes. it is a status quo. it s a tiny change from what we currently have in place. a lot of conservatives are going to be frustrated by that. it depends whether the president ultimately decides to bow to that pressure or he decides we can t go through another government shutdown. we need to lock this up and move forward. caitlyn, we always appreciate you helping shed light on this. it s a much more complicated issue than everybody has made it out to be. we ll talk more than about the wall and southern border. all of these issues are so co complicated. all right. thank you, caitlyn. thank you. moments from now a hearing
wall were president trump s priorities during the state of the union. he went a little off script even going as far as to say he wants more legal immigration. listen. the lawless state of our southern border is a threat to the safety, security and financial well-being of all america. i want people to come into our country in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally. the border city of el paso, texas, used to have extremely high rates of violent crime, one of the highest in the entire country, and considered one much our nation s most dangerous cities. joining us now is the new york times national immigration reporter caitlyn dickerson. caitlyn, thank you for being with us. i think one could expect that most of that speech was going to be about immigration.
borders in the red state of texas who are saying so we don t need this. amazing. caitlyn, thank you for your reporting. caitlyn dickerson, the new york times national reporter. coming up, president trump had a lot to say about foreign policy last night. but it is his comments on pulling out of the nuclear treaty with russia and promising to reignite the arms race has so many worried about a new cold war. we re going to dig into that and more on the other side of the break. you re watching velshi & ruhle. ruhle. about 50% of people with evesevere asthma k? have too many cells called eosinophils in their lungs. eosinophils are a key cause of severe asthma. fasenra is designed to target and remove these cells. fasenra is an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. fasenra is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions.
in it to toe the line and to continue repeating these facts and figures even if they re not true. and my take away from the statements you went over earlier are when donald trump says criminal he means immigrant. that could be legal or illegal. when he says southern border he actually means you ve come into the country through land, through air, through sea, anyway. it s all southern border. when he says terrorist he actually means anybody who at any time has been worthy of any kind of secondary inspection, and that could even be for a reason as simple as the country you come from. so we now have to come up with tools to cut through what they re saying. and i think the reason they re saying it, you asked about, is that they ve got to stay on message. caitlyn, one of the effective tools is that you report on this, right, there are a handful in this country of people who dedicate their journalistic efforts to immigration. because of something you just said. it is actually com
which is that there are a huge number of families there and there are no resources to address it because instead all the resources are going toward this nonexistent fake crisis that s requiring, in the president s mind, a border wall. caitlyn, thanks for your reporting on this. caitlyn dickerson is a national immigration reporter. we have to keep on telling the truth. such an important and such a confusing story, but it doesn t need to be. correct. we need border security. we need better immigration policy. policy, not political theater. all right. trade talks are underway with china right now, in china. the trade war was supposed to fix certain problems. coming up next we re going to look at all the ways donald trump s trade war has actually made things worse. and we are watching global markets. look at that. the markets like having you back. there you go. they were happy on friday as well. they knew you were coming back. we re going to dig into that and more. you
