saying now we need a quote, unquote, clean damascus te o can a bill. we don t need to deal with the wall or anything. putting the republicans in the corner, forces them if you don t do a complete daca bill then you are siding with the racist president. rachel: right. leland: that s their logic. pete: where they go every single time. rachel: always to rachel issues and identity politics issue. leland: takes up so much oxygen from real stories like this. sources telling fox news that devon nunes of the house intelligence community has been talking to members of the house and says he is going to talk to all of them about charges of abuse of government surveillance by fbi and justice department officials as it related to the trump campaign. rachel, you brought up an excellent point earlier. big question. turn this around. what happens if we were in 2009 and 2010 and we were learning about bush government surveillance on the obama campaign? rachel: that would have been racist.
not believe that the daca issue would prevent legislators from coming to an agreement to keep them open and funded by next friday. thanks for that reporting, molly. mike. let s bring in michigan congressman dan killdee. do you want a clean daca bill? yes, and i think it s sometimes in a partisan divide where one doesn t exist quite as much as people say it does. republicans in the house, i know, and democrats would like to get a daca deal done, and would vote for it, if it was on the floor. ways a little disappointed to say that the president says this is a missed opportunity. we have sessions on tuesday, wednesday, thursday. we could bring daca codification, a bill to the floor and i suspect it would have more than 300 votes in the house of representatives and would sale through the senate.
it, but he is commenting, and everybody in the room, did not expect cameras to be there, but they had to know what they were talking about in order to have a constructive conversation. it was fascinating. you and i both remarked on twitter about how the open exchange on policy specifics coming on the president was definitely orchestrating that the meeting and talking about the specifics come i will say the one part where senator feinstein says daca only bill clean, i think that s the president probably in his mind, i am guessing was saying, the daca bill that they were talking about witches border border security and daca. so i think that you give him the benefit on the doubt in that sentence. but it was fascinating. in the wake of all of the days that we have just seen of all of the of this book to have that openness in behind the scenes, you know this better than anybody, was really rare.
without additional wall. you would not support what senator feinstein no, i think a clean daca bill to me is the daca bill where we take care of the 800,000 people, they re actually not necessarily young people. everybody talks about young. they could be 40 years old. but they re also 16 years old. but i think to me a clean bill is a bill of daca. we take care of them. and we also take care of security. that s a very important and i think the democrats want security too. i mean, we started off with steny saying we want security also. everybody wants security. and then we can go to comprehensive later on and maybe that is a longer subject and a bigger subject and i think we can get that done too. but we ll get it done at a later date. yes, ma am, go ahead. mr. president, as the only immigrant serving in the united states senate right now, i would like nothing better than for us to get to comprehensive immigration reform, but what i m hearing around the table right
on streamlining, if he does anything with infrastructure, making it easier to build things in the u.s. again so you don t have a decade of environment aral impact statements and various environmental impact statements. well, you know, it s an interesting political question. if the economy strengthens, jobs continue to be created, that would0b the moment to do infrastructure, when the economy s healthier. but if chuck schumer tells his union supporters we re not going to do business with this guy, wait until we take control of the government, then we ll do infrastructure, i think a lot of unions are going to say i don t know if we re going to buy that deal. trump helped the coal industry, and this is the moment to get those jobs while you have a bird in the hand. so i think there could be pressure on the democrats to do a deal. paul: i think, mary, there s a chance on immigration. you ve got the daca bill that democrats want, and maybe combine that with some border enforcement to g
