Us and fix this problem. >> look, its time for congress to come to the table. >> its time for them to come to the table and work with us. >> it seems like a talk point. but after today, what are they supposed to do to actually work on? that isnt even clear. earlier tonight i asked democratic congresswoman kathleen rice who is a member of the homeland security committee what she thought of the presidents plan. congresswoman rice, i wonder what do you make of the presidents speech today? is there ...

10,000 daca recipients and tps holders. so it doesnt even address that issue. so i think its going to be a non-starter for someone like me. thats just in my district. but looking at the larger issue, if youre going to really try to address the issue of immigration, you need input from both republicans and democrats. i dont think they got input from anyone. certainly not anyone on the democratic side, and not even any republicans. this was a plan that was hatched by the presidents son-in-law, jar...

Looking forward to it. >> it would also be interesting to hear if hes asked or if quotes the president has said about him, about his team are read to him, if he actually chooses to respond to things the president has said about him. >> yeah, and i would imagine that he wont. i would imagine that we would see him if pressed, make a strong defense of the justice department. its independence, its integrity, and the nonpartisan apolitical nature of the way that it carries out prosecutions. you know,...

We came very close on the floor with coming up with our own resolution on the daca issue. hes got to deal with the far right members of his party who have said no way under no circumstances can we allow a path to citizenship for daca recipients. and i think thats crazy. you know, these are people who have been here, who were brought here when they were children who are contributing to their society, their community. and these are the kind of people we want to keep here. so i think its going to b...

Everything he can to help our border patrol agents. as we know, we need a legislative fix. >> dana: exactly. he cant do this all on his own by executive action. can i just ask one last question? as i understand it, the whole daca issue, dreamers, noted going to be addressed in this particular rollout. why is that? >> i think were starting this off to unify the republican party. this was a conversation of what we all can come to agreement with and what we are for. obviously, the president in the ...

Supposed to be grateful that you returned to your old stance. you say? >> its not returning to the old stance. this is the same speaker that spent eight hours on the floor using her magic minutes to talk about how great daca is but she wont use this opportunity to help them. she uses daca as political pawns. were trying to solve the problem. i voted for both of the plans in the house that would have solved this daca issue. >> neil: youre quite comfortable and your colleagues are, sir, doing both...

Program. so we were expecting that possibly the supreme court might weigh in on this. the supreme court is taking no action on daca. these decisions have been rolling in throughout the morning. we have been keeping track of this. the supreme court will not be taking up this issue just yet. its possible that they could take it up potentially next term beginning maybe in october. no decision on daca. this has become a flash point in the whole immigration debate. the president sort of issuing a new...

Is that reasonable? >> they are also take ag very tough stand on that. i think a continuing resolution for a couple of weeks and we are right back where we were. as president obama said i think during 15s shutdown im not going to sign a continuing resolution. both sides need to bring me a bill to sign. >> its not just democrats. its lindsey graham. >> i think what pattys boss said a year ago was correct. he was asked whether or not the democrats should give money. at that time $25 billion for th...

And the other with another reality. >> you have the president and tom democrats that havent spoken in more than ten days as far as we know publically. democrats arent budging on the barrier formerly known as the wall especially with the 800,000 federal workers on furlough. that brings us to ryan nobles on capitol hill. it is going to be paycheck number two that the federal workers dont get. >> reporter: i do have to say this decision by the supreme court even makes less of an incentive for democ...

Ann colter tweets that she doesnt like it and he backs down. the way to proceed is to open the government. stop holding 800,000 people hostage. comprehensive immigration reform is wildly complicated rk, very tough to do. this is not the way to negotiate it. its not only daca and asylum seekers and border protection. its not where is the fence needed. its so many things that are intertwined. to hold 800,000 people hostage just for the wall is just unreasonable. open up the government and lets hav...
