To the u.s., but the second and third generation, its not. we talk about it all the time here, getting a good education is beneficial for the economy long term, thats something well worth noting from what ali put together. >> we also need to remember remember march 5th, this daca issue, daca recipients start losing their protections march 5th, and that is around the corner. when the president puts up a $25 billion ask for the wall and other border security issues against this, thats a huge numbe...

Dreamers and the daca issue. can we drive that forward and get it done in the next, what, 12 days? im hopeful. >> well, i love optimism. but im going to ask, and i dont want to rain on your parade here, but do you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, you and your democratic colleagues? because if you do not get a deal on daca, you lose with your base. if you do get a deal on daca, you give a win to the president. has the president managed to turn this whole daca issue into a lose/lose ...

More. look, i mean, this is a big deal in terms of dreamers and a path to citizenship from the white house. i wonder is this the time word from the white house on this. they flip-flop back and forth a lot. >> this is true. to put it plainly, if this is the final word from the white house, there say problem in terms of finding a resolution to the daca issue. not just democrats. a lot of republicans as well. it is worth pointing out, the white house has shifted plenty on this. they have gone from ...

Immigration deal? >> yeah, joe, and mika, yes, it is. first, let me say this, we can absolutely pass a bipartisan bicameral daca deal with border security. there will be some kind of a pathway to citizenship for these young people. theres no question about this. this is within reach. the real challenge for us on this daca issue is going to be the house. once the senate passes a bill -- and i believe they will -- the house is going to have to take up that bill. right now the house energy is spent...

Safety for our great people. our chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is at the top of the story live on capitol hill. hi, mike. >> chuck schumer is urging everybody to ignore the back and forth with president trump and saying they can get a bill with 60 votes in the senate and then he took this swipe at conservatives. >> we cant let those anti-immigrant that call giving the dreamers home amnesty block us. because then we will fail and it will be on the other side of the aisle that mad...

What democrats did? >> i dont see it that way at all. the reality is that what this showed the american public and its the reason the democrats backed down, was that democrats are more interested in illegal immigrants than they were about working men and women and the people in our military and keeping the government funded and taking an issue that had nothing to do with continuing funding and tried to inject that into a spending debate. the republicans have done this in the past and republicans...

Situation. the leader said well take that up in a fair and open process and we will. meanwhile they need to release these other hostages that they took on the daca issue. >> dana, well leave it there. thank you so much. maybe the senate republicans made good on mcconnells intention but the real big question is the house and how it moves forward there. well tackle that in the coming weeks. meantime, back to our breaking news here. weve now confirmed here at cnn the fact that the former fbi dire...

And show they are willing to pass the bill. get it to the senate and let them deal with it. >> ana, do you think it was a mistake, the democrats would have been blamed for this shutdown if it went down longer? >> look, im not sure if it was a mistake or the right thing to do. but for this, there would be no promise from mitch mcconnell to be a vote before february 8 on the daca issue. and it is an issue where the clock keeps counting down. if you are a daca kid right now, you realize you only ha...

Voted for time and time again. border security, they want the end of the visa lottery, they want chain migration to be limited, and they want to deal with this daca issue. put a bill together that does those four things, not 20 other things, which is what the quote, compromise did, and i bet you would be surprised -- >> you havent moved on this. you have seen people on -- >> im sorry, i will talk over you because i have to take a break. when we continue this conversation, did president trump hel...

Dreamers as well as meet the other four conditions, get it to the senate and let them deal with it. >> anna, do you think to senator santorums point, the democrats would have been blamed for this shutdown if it went on longer? >> look, im not sure if it was a mistake or if it was the right thing to do but i do know that but for this, there would be no promise from mitch mcconnell right now for there to be a vote before february 8th on the daca issue. and it is an issue for which the clock keeps ...
