Separated from parents. this is part of an emphasis of the trump administration and in some cases talking about small kids, young kids. do you worry this is going to back fire for republicans politically? >> well to the greatest extent possible, i would like to see these children remain with their parents. now, oftentimes young people were coming across the border unaccompanied. they dont have a parent with them. there might be another sibling, older sibling, the best practice is to try to keep ...

Has to reach with north korea has to be even better, stronger. it is impossible to get that done in one meeting. it may be impossible to get that done period. are the north koreans going to dismantle the vast bulk of their nuclear program up front as iran did in the iran deal? are we going to get most intrusive inspections regime in north korea as we did with iran? thats a high bar. i think theyre right to approach this and saying, look, the meeting itself will be a step forward, it can set the ...

I want to read an op-ed from john kasich in "usa today" about daca. if members fail to agree on a daca solution, with or without using a discharge position, thats something that some republicans are signing on to, democrats, i fear congress will never have the confidence to tackle far more complex immigration issues. in fact, inaction on daca suggests to me our current congress given todays hyperpartisan atmosphere may be totally incapable of solving any complex problem at all. what do you think...

In without parents. i dont want to confuse this with the parental separation issue, they came in without parents, they were matched up with sponsors. the federal government doesnt know where they are. and the trump administration has been taking a lot of heat for this. i was speaking with one source who said that this may be a situation where many of these sponsors, who may be undocumented themselves, are actually hiding in a way, right? theyre hiding from the federal government. this is a polit...

Discharge petition before i left congress and they will have the requisite number and force a queen of the hill strategy, meaning the bill that passes with the most votes in over 218 will be sent to the senate. the bill i think will likely -- the bill that will likely be the one that is getting the most votes is the hurt-aguilar position, it provides a pathway to citizenship for the dreamers and it provides for enhanced border security measures, i call it a virtual wall, so to speak. thats the o...

Vaccinations and theyre cared for there for a period of time and then distributed out to sponsors, oftentimes family members, throughout the country so there could be a young person who is in bethlehem, pennsylvania, and theyre distributed out to who knows where, kansas. im not surprised that we have trouble tracking some of these folks. i suspect some of the reasons why we cant find them is some people maybe dont want to be found, sometimes people move. i am not -- i suspect that hhs needs to g...

Is any real shot getting to the presidents desk then. >> well, well see. and, look it very important, though, that a lot of my colleagues particularly in those marginal and swing districts have an opportunity to vote on a dreamer bill. they have been wanting to vote on this for some time. theyre forcing the issue. i say send the bill to the senate and let the senate take a vote on it and well see what happens. if they get it through the senate because of the president, make the president decide....

Four different kinds of immigration measures, one of them being the measure favored by the house leadership but also a daca fix and two other bills. so this is an effort by some members to get the daca issue resolved and over but it is very contentious. leadership doesnt like it. very rarely done. it happens once in a blue moon and whether or not it actually happens we dont know yet. theyre getting awful close. >> sandra: why is it such a struggle for republicans to define their position on this...
