Now, after this thing has been reopened, the government is functioning again, the president comes forth, puts a package out there that is extremely generous. and its three times the number of daca recipients that president trump asked for. so this exposes the democrats for what they are. they want to put the politics over american peoples lives. and quite frankly, its disgraceful. judge jeanine: that brings us to the question of what happens february 8 and what happens in the march. are the demo...

I think more details will come out tomorrow as im understanding so it gives us something to work with. we have people with expertise. tom tillis and james langford. a lot of people with knowledge are in this group so i think we can find a pathway forward. i really do. >> are you comfortable supporting a deal on this that would include permanent changes in the immigration system when only dealing with the daca population? for instance, i know some democrats say, look, you want to talk about the f...

One of those republican senators, tom cotton of arkansas said this "the presidents framework is generous and humane while also being responsible, it protects those eligible for daca who are here through no fault of their own but it also could prevent us from ending up back where we are in five years by securing the border and putting an end to extended family chain migration. democrats dont like that plan, including the number to go democrat on the senate who said this. dreamers should not be he...

Criticism? >> i think we should talk about the policy. i dont want to respond to other peoples words. this is a path put forward by the white house.ot i think what they acknowledge, 87% of americans believe that dreamers should be protected by congress, they should be able to earn citizenship. to the e daca population -- >> tucker: thats what i gave, isnt it? >> this is the point. you talked about it. you call that chain migration, family-based immigration system. i dont understand why, if you a...

Likely to pass it or more likely to pass it and the president will sign it. so that is -- the president is doing what -- if a president didnt start the process, the process usually doesnt work. >> let me restart with the sticking point that chuck schumer brought up which is the -- the family sponsorship issue. the white house wants to essentially change immigration law for everybody. i believe the previous graham-durbin proposal was just to have the limits put on the daca population. where are y...

Its impossible. >> bret: what do you mean "over the cliff?" you are expanding the daca population. >> you have a ten to 12 your program. thats far too long. you are cutting 5 out of 7 programs that are in place now for immigrants. you are putting people that are looking right now as immigrants or who are fleeing persecution as refugees, you are not addressing those issues are new or not addressing terrorism with anything with regard to a wall. the southern border, or the northern border because ...

And a back and forth? >> youd have to ask the democrats, you have chuck schumer claiming he offered wall funding and then pulling that offer back, really cant explain where hes coming from or what hes been saying. our position has been clear, we had democrats and republicans, the house and senate members of the white house to go weeks ago. they walked away with four broad areas they want to take forward for reform. the daca population, border security, chain migration, and the visa lottery. the ...
