Attend the meetings because shes calling the the shots behind the scenes and i would probably get everybody out of the room and i would say madam speaker, look, lets cut to the chase here. are you going to agree to any sort of wall, barrier, fence, whatever the politically correct term is, whatever the term shes most comfortable with and if shes willing to work with us, we can come up with an agreement. it would probably include other forms of border security. it would include some sort of legal...

Exchange for some kind of daca relief. that deal was offered, you know, on the table before with democrats a year ago and the president didnt want it because miller pulled away from it, and theres not much indication the president would support it, and its not a accident sean hannity said, and again, democrats are not in the mood for that deal. they will say that was a deal that was open a year ago. i think it depends on what we are talking about. it depends on the number of people that would be...

Gets that done. $5 billion doesnt make sense when there is so many other needs. >> understood. we had a democratic congresswoman on last week who also doesnt love the wall idea. but she said, look, i think we meet in the middle. im willing to give $2.5 billion towards this if we get daca relief. if you are going to truly work together, the president wants $5 billion for the border wall. you have 81% of republicans in the new cnn poll that support a wall. only 7% of democrats. i get that. but you...

Rights and the justice program at the womens refugee commission. what do you make of this? you listen, the justice department says we are doing that in some cases. >> this is exactly why you need to pass the goodlatte bill. its a well thought out rational policy that is systematic and covers all of these bases. the left, we will give you 700,000 daca relief. bring the kids out of the shadows, thats compassionate. trump even went beyond that, he said to millie. the left says no to that deal. what...

Sixth of march if something gets done by the 5th. >> thats a great question. many of us have been working day in and day out. provide some kind of daca relief. especially since 83% of americans or more support allowing the dreamers to stay here. that march 5 date is an important one and what i think youll see is many stories of people who will be deported. and remember, the government has all of the information of these young people. they know exactly where they are. if this administration is de...

And everybody seems to think this is something that is going to get solved. now, those negotiations seem to be going by the wayside and falling apart. im wondering if thats your view of where things stand right now. >> well, im still optimistic that the congress can come to some kind of compromise on daca so that we can make sure that 800,000 young people who have only known the united states as their home are not subject to deportation. im still optimistic about that. i think we have to be opti...

Border wall. but bear in mind, this is no longer a matter of convincing the american people to do something for the daca kids. 83% of americans support daca relief. its a matter of convincing president trump and the republican majority in congress to listen to the american people and do the right thing. >> is there any circumstance under which democrats could accept a wall on the mexican border to pay for that wall in exchange for helping these kids or would you -- do you think that the governme...
