Seekers and trying to take citizenship away from certain people who have been granted it in the past and so this is the next step. now going after hispanic americans. >> i want to bring in -- really quickly a federal judge on friday declining to halt the program. the court will not succumb to the temptation to set aside legal principles and substitute the jumt in lieu of action if the nation wants to have a daca program, it is up to congress to say so. what is your take on that? >> this is a tem...

President obama went around congress and created the illegal daca program. we believe the judges ruling is extraordinarily broad and wrong on the law. whats worse is that it creates an incentive for more illegal immigrants to come here and causes them to expect similar judicial policies be applied to them. this ruling is good news for smuggling organization and criminal networks and horrible news for our national security. its time for congress to do what the president has called on them to do a...

It is to me the whole daca saga is a tale of political mismanagement by the white house. a year ago the president had said you give me $25 billion for the wall and you can have your daca program. democrats would have voted for it and it would have seen from a master stroke from a guy whose signature programs was laughed at and laughed and now i have that. >> i want to challenge that. you think a year ago democrats had appetite to give 25 million for a wall they hated? >> no, democrats dont want ...

For difficult, politically difficult votes. because people can put amendments up on anything they want to and that can set up a future campaign ad for the other side. we saw some of this play out on the floor when there was an amendment brought up about sanctuary cities and chuck schumer stopped, interrupted the process because he said that had nothing to do with trying to help people who rely on this daca program. >> to begin this debate would be getting off on the wrong foot. respectfully, i s...

Immigrants today was said about john kellys relatives. >> lawrence, youre right. in the history of our country we do have a long track record, unfortunately, of forgetting we are a nation of immigrants. and extending that same compassion to people who are coming to this country and working to improve themselves, their families and country are at least deserving of some respect. if you think back to when president obama announced this daca program, it was an effort to try to kick start a legislat...

Forward, gave us their personal information. it makes sense. what the presidents outline would do is talking about amnestying up to 1.8 million people, more than twice as many. >> correct. >> including people who could have applied for this daca program, which was illegal -- but thats a separate question. these people did it in good faith. these other people could have applied but chose not to. >> so, youre saying, just so im clear on your position, youre saying the 700,000 or so people who came...

Teachers and lawyers. have federal agents show up at their place of work and take them back to a country they havent been to. >> the entire reason why congress is dealing with this issue now is because president obama created a policy this he didnt have the legal authority to create with a daca program. that is why we are right here. he suggested the daca individuals to the political head winds of the administration to administration. by creating a policy that he didnt have the authority to do. ...

Families and children all over this country. this isnt what folks want us to be doing in washington to have yet another cliff hanger and possibly a government shutdown. no one wants to shut the government down. i dont want to shut the government down. when the president has a meeting at the white house at his own invitation and brings together bipartisan leaders and said you go find a deal, i will sign it, anything that helps solve this daca program, and they come back with a deal and he blows u...
