Objective as you stated providing legal protection for the daca population while also securing our border and ending chain migration. thank you for the invitation. >> thank you very much for having us down here. i agree with tom cotton that the american public is very frustrated with us. one of the reasons theyre frustrated with us is because we continue to couple things on which we have large agreement with things on which we do not agree. this is a perfect example of that. 86% of the american ...

Do you need to do your job? congress and the american people have entrusted to you the security of our country. what is it that you need? the list that we have provided is what we need to do our mission that you asked us to do. its not less than, its not more than. its what we need to close those loopholes to be able to protect our country. i would just encourage everyone much more eloquently than i can describe all the reasons why we all i think here are committed to helping the daca population...

Clinton were in the senate they voted for strong border security measures. lets stop making this a polar izing issue and recognize that its foundational to provide uncertainty to the daca population. maria: but isnt it true that the democrats are probably okay with the government shutting down under this president? >> well, i think that if they do that, what theyre doing is poisoning the well for any kind of certainty for the population they say theyre concerned with. at the end of the day i thi...

Legislation done theres a lot more to do on immigration reform id like to get a lot of it on the front end particularly as it relates to chain migration but then well have to move on to visa reform immediately after we succeed on this and i think that we can be successful in advance of the march 5 deadline. maria: but what about the january 19 deadline? i mean why would the democrats agree anything knowing that that will just further this president s agenda and theyve been on instructionists the...

Out the extremes that have been the root cause for the problem not being solved for 20 years. maria: it sounds like you think an agreement will take place the government will not shutdown come january 19 and you think that the president will get his funding for the border wall and just an agreement? >> i think if the president continues to show the strong leadership he has on this issue and that message is sent to congress that if you dont produce provisions that let me honestly say to the ameri...

>> i dont think anybody is looking to control stuff. what we are focused on today is what to do about the daca population, what to do about dreamers. nearly 800,000 young people came to this country at the average age of six. theyve been here for 20 years. the question is, are we going to try to, as a nation, deport as many people as possible, absolutely the wrong approach, or are republicans and democrats going to come together. >> tucker: i mean, lets be totally real. this is what its alwaysth...

Uncomfortable if we are trying to control something as important as immigration legislation? >> i dont think anybody is looking to control stuff. what we are focused on today is what to do about the daca population, what to do by dreamers. nearly 800,000 young people came to this country at the average age of six. theyve been here for 20 years. the question is, are we going to try to, as a nation, deport as many people as possible, absolutely the wrong approach, republicans and democrats the my ...

Think that unfortunately, i just hope its not too late for us. >> angel, what do you want to say to congress and the lawmakers who are going to trying to figure out what the fate of all of you 800,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers are? >> i think thats important to think about the work that the daca population has already put into drem straiting how successful and how good of citizens we are already in this country. i think its important to give us a little bit of credit for that going into processes, because i...

Will not get help from the democrats on this on capital hill? do you agree with that approach by democrats or is it time for moderate democrats being willing to join the moderate republican freshmeneds? >> i think democrats would pass the dreamers act and something that continued a program like daca. daca population is the least objectionable of the immigrant populations. they were under 16 when they came here. it was not their choice and they are registered under the program and most of them em...
