Heitkamp legislation that would extend daca or codify daca for three years and provide some border security funding, what the president has requested basically three years. were calling it the three for three bill. if we say with extend daca without a path to citizen ship for a three-year period then i think an equitable trade is to say we give the president what he asked for for a three-year period for border security funding. >> you also were strongly opposing of the so-called muslim ban. >> r...

If you want to give legal status to these 700,000 or so people who are in their 20s and 30s now who came here illegally as children, thats a permanent and irreversible change. you need to make a permanent and irreversible change in response to protect american workers. the way to do that is my legislation, which will stop unlimited chain migration and reorient our green card system to high-skill workers. thats the real core of the deal. >> you say if you do codify daca into law that its a perman...

Number of issues including the repeal and replace of the affordable care act. we need to be part of the governing body. we cannot just obstruct. people are, these are real human beings. they count on government to be able to deliver. i say democrats need to work with republicans on this to make sure that we do have a strong package, to make sure that when they do codify daca it works. there are a number of people on the line and frankly as was talked about a little bit earlier i think that we do...
