President obama, through homeland security. unfortunately they were given this opportunity, and they squandered it to score political points. i dont think that the president was going to take what they offered when they offered it to him. the president controls the administration. the republicans are in charge, in the house and the senate, and unfortunately congress has been able to come to some kind of a conclusion on this. >> maria, is it clear to you that the president understands how daca wo...

Unfortunately congress has been able to come to some kind of a conclusion on this. >> maria, is it clear to you that the president understands how daca works? >> no. >> he did say the big flows of people are trying to take advantage of it, but you obviously cant sign up for daca anymore. >> no, anderson. this president is not just clueless when it comes to daca. he is completely clueless when it comes to immigration laws, period. everything that he tweeted this weekend was just completely untrue...

Him. he has to throw some red meat. and that seemed to be what he is doing. he does not appear to understand how the legislative process works, how daca works, and is counting on, apparently, members of his base not understanding those things either. >> and we talked about some of the mixed messaging about the stock market. here we have it again. it wasnt long ago the president was touting the lower number of border crossings. i just want to remind folks. >> since the day of my election, weve al...

Costs daca. >> so you have all these people, daca recipients, whose lives and futures still very much up in limbo. more so now when the president blames the democrats for this. whereas he was the one who sort of cut off daca. >> absolutely. we wouldnt be in this problem if he hadnt done what he did. he knows that i think. he stopped on the way in to -- he went on to tweet that people were dying to get in to the country so they could benefit from daca which is not how daca works. it is about the ...

President trump because it became symbolic of the hostility towards the aca. but there was a difficuvot. there is more risk, less people in the pool. so they are going to start raising rates. and we are seeing that happen. this was a way to he get away from it. collins said i couldnt get it done because of the democrats. all right. now, what was it that the democrats wanted that made them not go along with collinss ask on this? >> youll have to ask a.b. i dont know in particular what the democra...

Marched in chattanooga. last week a letter writing campaign in johnson city. concerned citizens have been keeping the pressure on. as we head into the labor day weekend with dacas future uncertain, remember what we saw today in tennessee. pressure works. joining us now is advocacy director at the united we dream network. miss martinez, thank you for joining us tonight. talk a bit about the pressure thats been put on in tennessee. do you think that the same kind of pressure can potentially work n...

Thats absolutely right. there are 20 million more people right now who have coverage thanks to the aca than they did before. the aca works. does it have problems? yes. lets go about fixing those. for example, it works. right now we have the lowest rate of uninsured people under the age of 65 in america in 50 years. at the same time, there are problems. we see rising increasing fees in premiums in some of the market places, etc. and we need to address those. thats what we need to go about the bus...

He was already changing his mind. >> there you go. but he does also like to create excitement and intrigue and he would then undercut it and say dont believe them. believe me. we have to see how this plays out. >> okay. why do we have confidence that as president of the united states donald trump will allow others to make decisions for him? weve never seen that before. >> no. and i dont know why people have so much confidence for him. people that run for the presidency and win do so because they...

The dress, and there were the escaped lamas from yesterday wearing blue and black and white and gold respectively. i know three things the aca works, two, climate change is real, three, that dress is gold and white. california representative mark drafted a house resolution about the dress being black and blue. facts, the dress is blue and black. for the record the actual dress is blue and black. it is also red and black and white and black and pink and black. just not white and gold. sorry. join...
