Certain kind of amnesty to the small select type of person. if there are goerkss going on, i have no thought that he would issue another waiver. >> juan brought up his parents. it seems to be the republicans want to narrow this down to only the children. the children are the good people. he have one else was a criminal. if you narrow it down carefully, can we limit immigration or not? thats the big issue. the wall is not an issue anymore. daca is not the issue. we want fewer illegal immigrants o...

Are worth discussing. he says, i hope and intend that we can bring the issues of daca and many other things to the floor of the senate before this three-week extension of government funding ends. and then he says that if it does reach that point, then he would allow a free and open debate with a level playing field on the issue of immigration. what exactly does that mean? were joined again by senator mike rounds, a republican from south dakota. senator, am i correct here that the majority leader...

Statement, it would be enough for the democrats that the republicans are willing to take it up. so its the issue now do you believe mitch mcconnell when he says they will take it up. just the fact of taking it up is enough. now if graham and flake could take that back to mcconnell, perhaps well see a change in language. this is all very subtle and its late on a sunday and it seems to me, you know, i dont know how were supposed to parse this. but i want to get back to something that david and ron...

I dont think absent that commitment that e we would have moved to immigration on the senate floor. so the alternative would have been to get all the way to march 5th without a deal and then that would be just some kind of legislative extension of current daca. thats not good for anybody. >> will there be 60 votes? >> there are more votes needed, but if i had to guess, i do. i think that some of the democrats who voted no will vote yes. >> what does that allow? >> i guess the democrats want to me...

Surprise. this is really a moral issue. it is not a political issue for most of them. they think this is totally wrong. that nothing has happened with the d.r.e.a.m.ers. there are 800,000 people hanging in the balance. what youre seeing thats bad for democrats today, it will not be great for the republicans over the next couple weeks. this is an issue 90% of the people support. theyll have to vote for it. there are confusing dynamics. >> no surprise i disagree. i think this has hardened the repu...

John avlon, the question becomes, as david gregory brings up, is trust. do y do enough democrats trust mitch mcconnell when he said it is my intention that we will figure out this daca issue? >> the word intention is legal language. mcconnell is a man who prides himself on being a man of his word but in her chosen carefully. intention is washington weasel words. it is not an intention to do it. they have to move further with assurance. when was the last gang of eight deal done under the late oba...

Security and how we protect our borders. number one was border security with a wall. number two was ending chain migration. number three, the visa lottery and fourth was a lasting long term solution to the daca issue. thats where he wants to start the negotiation is thats where we have to be to have any deal signed. >> i heard and you it was great television with the 55 minute. but then lindsey graham and dick durbin thought they were bringing president trump exactly that. at least a starting of...

Measure he is willing to sign. >> i prefer clarity. were not seeing that from the white house and it does to some degree make our jobs more difficult here on capitol hill. >> ive walked the the president. his heart is right on this issue. i think he has good understanding of what will sell. every time we have a proposal, it is only yanked back by staff members. >> so that was mitch mcconnell, mo brooks and lindsey graham. i guess the question going forward is, is president trump willing to conve...

Daca anyway. a senate vote doesnt get you anything. it is where it is likely to pass. what will president trump do? i dont think all that ryan or trump moved at all this weekend even if mitch mcconnell moved a little bit. >> so a democrat from new york, no secret is running for president in 2020. she voted no today. the progressives that were opposed to it. heres what she wrote on twitter. i am deeply disappointed that this fails to protect d.r.e.a.m.ers. i want to see the government reopened as...

Next move? >> yeah, good evening, anna, so im with ron on this, picture if youre a member of the democratic -- a democratic member of congress and youre looking at what senator mcconnell just laid out there, youve been through 2006 where there was an agreement on comprehensive immigration reform that fell through. youve been through 2013 where the gang of eight bill was passed in the senate and house leadership would not bring it up for a vote even though the votes were there to pass it in the h...
