as another migrant caravan least honduras for the u.s. board are, president trump is trying to get a deal done on border security. our next guest says the president has only one option left, declaring a national emergency. he wrote an opinion piece about that on foxnews.com. he joins me now with more on that. representative andy biggs out of arizona. representative, thank you so much for being here this morning. thanks for having me. you re arguing that a national emergency needs to be declared. first, though, do you think the deal the president proposed is a good one? is there any chance the democrats would take it? i don t believe there s any chance that the democrats are going to take this. when you start talking daca with my democrat colleagues and with daca recipients, i ve talked to many of them, they just don t
who are here in america, they re not yet citizens, they re from el salvador, honduras, places like that, and they re supposed to be in line to be deported soon. so he s saying, hang on, democrats. time-out here. i m going to let them stay in the country for three more years years. so obviously they would be for this. right? jedediah: you know what he should do? i think he should tweet out instances either on video or whatever it may be instances of democrats in the past, prominent democrats supporting all of the things that he just proposed, because this is completely absurd now. these are things that democrats have sponsored, have cosponsored and have been behind, everything from the border security measures to a fix on daca. so i think he should point out their hypocrisy, the fact that this is a political game. you know who it s not a political game to? all of the people suffering as a result of the humanitarian crisis on the border and all the daca recipients who are coming out an
republican majority of 53 seats, and he s going to put pressure on moderate democrats like joe manchin, try to get to 60 on this compromise deal and then force the issue over to pelosi and say you re not going to support some daca help, you re not going to support the wall which you call immoral and you re not going to vote to re reopen the government? really? so he s really putting her on defense. ed:. p7: he spoke at four o clock yesterday inside the white house house. this is part of what the president had to say. trump: our immigration system has been badly broken for a very long time. over the decades, many presidents and many lawmakers have come and gone, and no real progress has been made. we are now living with the consequences, and they are tragic. as a candidate for president, i promised i would fix this crisis and i intend to keep that promise one way or the other. the good news is these problems can all be solved. both sides in washington must simply come together, list
any of it. it makes no sense. even before nancy pelosi, even before the president spoke at the white house, dick durbin was out saying i cannot support the proposed offer as reported and i do not believe it can pass the senate. what s interesting is, the fact of the fatter, if you look back a couple of hours earlier, the same dick durbin said it would ensure that many dreamers would remain in the country. just as chuck schumer was once for a barrier and now against it. dick durbin. two years ago. a short amount of period, dick durbin is saying i was for extending daca. now he s saying we can t do that. of course he wants to but he wants to get the government open first so they can keep punting. the president saying let s put
i promised i would fix this crisis and i intend to keep that promise. two years in now president trump is trying to get the government back open. so far democrats have shown disinterest in the proposal that would benefit legal daca recipients. president trump and speaker pelosi have an opportunity to have not just a three-year fix but a permanent solution. the third annual women s march draws much smaller crowds this year. thousands of migrants are trekking closer to the u.s. border. y all have buzzfeed, y all do memes. this isn t what we need from you. snl taking aim at buzzfeed. a massive winter storm threatening to drop two feet of snow in the northeast. by taking this oath you have sworn a sacred bond with this nation. i want to congratulate you and
