That is why it is good were having this conference committee to try to do that. again maybe then we can get into a step by step process to address a number of these issues. >> how do you define amnesty? >> well, allowing people to, in essence, come to the country and not following the rules and requirements of coming here legally. so that is something that we have to do is make sure that is addressed in a way where people feel it is not amnesty. >> do you believe -- the problem with the word is,...

Past. and more importantly, i think, at least for me, is achieving border security is the key that unlocks the door to doing other things on immigration hes expressed a willingness to do. the extension of tps, deal with the daca population. i believe hes willing to do something reasonable with people who have been here a long time, unlawfully, but are not criminals. all that is being held up by the inability to get agreement on border security, which the president campaigned on. i hope people se...

From the deal for 25 billion, remember that? >> i do. >> and permanent protection for dreamers. now it seems like both democrats and republicans are going to get way less than what they wanted back then. >> thats fair, poppy. but lets just be clear on what exactly that offer was. there was 25 billion and i think democrats said they supported the wall going back. that offer as well wasnt just the daca population. it extended to those who were parents of the daca population and those who could hav...

I think the fact that tps is included is important. the tps population is similar to the daca population. some of these individuals have been in the united states for 18, 19, 20 years u and they do did he ne deserve a permanent solution. hoping they will at least consider making a counterproposal, a counteroffer to the president, perhaps that would deliver permanent protections for daca recipients and the tps population. >> but youre already hearing from people like ann coulter and im sure were ...

Comprehensive. ill just read one line. undocumented immigration does not increase violence. rather the violence crime is generally negative. hes quoting something that isnt even true. what do you make of what he had to say today? >> joy, i do think the president could have done more to acknowledge those workers down here in miami. the tsa agents at miami airport, the airport had an event for them the other day to give them lunch, essentially, because a lot of the people are struggling. the presi...

Regrettably, but the tonight went on the record saying that he did want to compromise, that he did want a deal. for weeks now, chris, many of us have known the obvious out, the obvious solution for the current drama and this shutdown crisis, which, by the way, the president should own because he said he would own back at that meeting in the white house last year. however, i think most people in the country want to see us emerge from this, get out of this. and the obvious way out where both sides...

More, a brick and mortar wall? i think the daca solution is very positive. >> charlie do you see its a matter of semantics, you know, arguing over, you know, how to define border security? is it barriers, is it wall, is it technology? is that the fine tuning that is standing in the way of coming to a deal? >> well, it seems like were at the point where there can be real negotiation. look, ive said all a long the way out of this thing is to reopen the government and then simply negotiation probab...

The issue? >> the presidents previous remarks did not move the needle very much at all. we saw polling that only about 2% of americans changed their opinion after the president took the extraordinary step of having a primetime oval office address to the nation in saying that we had a national security crisis on the southern border. now were expecting the president to do something different and offer democrats a little bit of an olive branch about how to end this long running government shutdown ...

To say today? >> joy, i do think the president could have done more to acknowledge those workers. down here at -- in miami the tsa agents at miami international airport, the airport had an event for them the other day to give them lunch, essentially, because a lot of them are struggling. so the president could have done more to acknowledge those people. i will say, joy, for a long time has t has been obvious that the only way out of this showdown is a compromise that includes two major comments....

>> john. >> you were talking about how you were in the room and democrats pushed back on refused requests for additional judges and beds. but it seems only nine or so months ago the democrats were willing to offer significantly more money for border security, roughly 5 billion it was reported, in exchange for deals on the dreamers. the broader vision of immigration reform. is that true? have they -- did they offer that amount? and, is there still that possibility for a broader deal that could gi...
