Committee. nice of you to be our headliner, sir. we have a lot of stuff to talk about. vote next week, what can pass if anything? >> right now nothing can pass but i will tell you this 193 votes for the conservative bill. if our leaders had whipped that bill like theyve done other pieces of legislation, only 19 votes short. story yesterday was the fact we were so close with the conservative bill. the reason the other bill wasnt being brought up today is because it would get less votes than the c...

Get at. and we need to do it in a way consistent with keeping families unified throughout the process, which is what the executive order does. >> the measures coming up today, the good lat bill. and the so-called compromise measure. will you vote yes? >> i will not. i will vote for the first one. for me this is real basic. what did we say we were going to do? the good lat, lets do that. it does it in the right order. build the border wall, stop chain migration, stop visa, reform our assaylum and...

Being put forward. >> bill: the wall $25 billio end visa lottery and chain migration and solve daca, right? >> thats right. it does not guarantee citizenship but itdoes provide for a visa -- it provides for a merit-based visa that the daca population could apply for. they could earn it. it is a way for them to get right with the law. they could get a legal permanent status that would be renewed every six years and get in line like anyone else eventually to get citizenship. >> bill: which one wil...

>> a family behind me waiting to cross and probably ask for asylum. the president wants to prosecute everyone. the question now bill becomes one of bed space. do we have enough shelter space? that will be very difficult. he wants to avoid catch and release but we are already near ty. finding room for everybody could be difficult. >> bill: thank you, william. interesting. william la jeunesse on the border. >> sandra: lets bring in illinois congressman adam kinzinger serving on the house foreign a...

Kirstjen nielsen and jeff sessions and they couldnt close the deal. if you had the votes, trace, they would vote. the fact that theyre not voting today and possibly delaying the vote till tomorrow tells you a lot. heres another interesting tidbit. that will got 193 yays. they thought it would get 170. did provide real money for the wall. the bill they have tomorrow does. what the bill did do is not provide a pathway to citizenship for those in the daca population. the bill tomorrow does. in othe...

Pillars addressing the daca population, making sure that we have a secure border, closing the loopholes that exist when you get across that border, ending the visa lottery and ending those green cards for a merit-based situation that people on the daca plan can utilize. i think its a very good plan. >> sources on the other side said the president only talked about separation of kids from their families in the context of political optics, not the actual policy. is that accurate and is that accept...

We address it in somewhat different ways in both these bills but both bills address the daca population. the new one creates a new merit based immigration category that both people who are lawfully present in the united states and daca recipients can apply for. the daca recipients can apply for it after they have been in the country for five years. >> and so congressman, while you wait for the votes and to see what happens with legislation, which as we know can take a long time, how about if the...

Either? >> the president has always advocated for the bill that i and mike mccaul introduced way back at the beginning of the year, but he came in last night to emphasize how important it is to pass a bill and therefore he indicated that he was 1,000% behind the new consensus bill as well. >> even if it has a pathway for dreamers that as you know some of the more hardline folks in congress are not comfortable with, that you think that this will happen and will get enough votes? >> both of these ...

Appreciate it. >> thank you so much. glad to be here. heather: breaking down roughly two bills which president trump has allegedly thrown support behind. the first one, lets talk abcompromise -- about compromise bill? >> provides path to citizenship, true amnesty to 1.8 million aliens in daca population and provides benefits to other minors who were here as children of individual who is have nonimmigrant visas, the goodlatt bill only provides a renewable three-year status, nonimmigrant status fo...

Chance of passing the house in. >> the compromise bill probably has a better chance of passing the house simple you because it provides path to citizenship, amnesty for the daca population. i think that there are a number of republicans who definitely want to make sure that they never have to revisit this issue which they may have to do with the goodlatte, that one probably has a better chance of passing but the goodlatte bill is a better bill. heather: sounds like both bills have a lot of what ...
