Page 9 - Daca Fix News Today

Immigration is incredibly complex. our 2006 bill was 700 pages long. i understand that thats not the presidents job. he needs to delegate the details. but if i wanted a daca fix, i wouldnt delegate it to stephen miller. >> heres the fact, if they were to put forth a bipartisan bill on the house, it would passther. yes, there is. not only that -- >> in the congress. >> we have to take a break. thanks one and all. these issues wont go away. >> no secret president trump watches a lot of cable news ...

Gives the president a big lead and also getting daca advanced. why not close that deal as opposed to endanger it right before the cr expires when its in the interest of the democrats to show a dysfunctional white house? >> chris, the votes are there. if we are looking at a bipartisan bill, the votes are there. there are enough democrats and republicans who will come together on this bill and support a daca fix whether its a clean daca fix or whether its a daca fix that actually has border securi...

Its a democrat hoax that was brought up as an excuse for losing an election that frankly the democrats should have won because they have such a tremendous advantage in the electoral college so it was brought up for that reason. >> you can see the republicans a plus. democrats an f. independents though b plus. they believe the president when he talks about russia collusion saying there is nothing there. leland: b plus is better than did i most of my life. so this is the presidents continued mantr...

Supporters will write you off as just another politician who said something he didnt mean. >> democrats and republicans have something big in common beyond the fact that they want a daca fix. they are deeply divided on this. republicans are divided and leadership is hearing from the base and saying if we vote for this and go for this, this will be the death of us. our base will go crazy. there is a coalition that wants to show they can govern and you know the president wants to see something get...

It may be a little bit of wall or fence here will be enough to let him decide hes going to say he got his wall funding. the other issues like being able to bring over family members, those are the ones that are lurking there all along and end up being harder. >> that was the question. when the question had this meeting, its nice to see them talking to each other. they didnt resolve the agreements on each of the issues. some of them are quick sand or toxic for republicans. could you do just a dac...

Staying on daca, im curious, because of this skepticism, we dont know whats going to happen, president keeps saying we need border security. do you think compromise is possible? >> its not just democrats saying that we want daca. even sarah sanders in the briefing said should the dreamers be worried, she said, no president wants to get this done. every poly asked about dreamers specifically, you have enormous margins saying yes do something about the dreamers. this is viewed as different issue t...

>> reporter: well, i think democrats, we heard them say after wards, they were encouraged by this and to see the president open to a daca fix and even comprehensive immigration reform it seemed and not necessarily -- >> would you say that one more time? the president actually seemed open to immigration reform? the president elected by hard line positions on immigration, thats just remarkable. >> yeah. you know, the white house has actually said that before although it was noticed a little bit le...

After which people werent exactly clear whether or not the president would insist that a wall would have to be built as part of a daca fix. the president saying in that meeting my position will be whatever they decide here. not just in this room but whatever congress decides. that will be my position. the president was asked today, well, if congress comes to a decision where theres a daca fix without a wall would that be satisfactory to you. listen here. >> president trump: you got include the w...

It best yesterday saying im all about border security but i dont want a wall. no wall. there is a way to have better border security by beefing up agents at the border, by beefing up more funding for border security agents across the border. but absolutely building a wall is off the table for democrats. we also want a daca fix to 800,000 daca recipients living in the united states. president trump had the ability to renew daca and he chose not to and leave it in the hands of congress. we want a ...

This president when it comes to getting immigration reform done, you wonder what the approach will be. because we saw such a different strategy from this president when it came to tax reform, sort of a stay out of the way strategy compared to the obama one which wasnt successful. how do you think the president goes at it? whats his role in getting this done? >> you know, it depends. the president talks a lot about the art of the deal. i guess the big question is whether or not his insistence the...
