Dreamer Problem News Today

Exploring issues that affect leaders in the U. S. And around the globe. Okay, this person is trying to move a conversation in this direction for this purpose. So it seems a little obscure, i dont understand where are theyre trying to go. Is it a pr strategy or is it a legal strategy . Is he a lawyer or a spokesman we have michael avenatti, lanny davis and Rudy Giuliani out there just talking away. I dont think any of them are actually coming up with a cohesive legal strategy for what they need t...

Permanent protection for dreamers? is that something the president can offer that can stop the shutdown? >> open the government. you want a deal with the dreamers, fine. the dreamer problem is one that the president created all by himself. the dreamers were protected in the obama administration. the president ended that. now he is really offering to go back and solve the problem that he created, the same thing with the temporary protective status individuals that are here in the united states. h...

Be a shutdown this fall? >> i am. this doesnt help anyone. no one here in congress is itching for a government shutdown because frankly that shows that were not able to do our most important job here, which is to compromise and to move things forward. president trump seems to think a shutdown is a great idea, and ill remind you that what hes threatening to shut down the government over is getting full funding for his proposal for a border wall, which he campaigned saying he would somehow get mex...

Desperate for a chance to just vote on something. just because they are in competitive districts. they want to show their voters they tried to solve the dreamer problem. they tried to end family separations. but the president pulled out the rug from out from under them and said we shouldnt even bother. dont waste your time. i mean, just a couple days ago he said im with you 1,000%. im behind these bills. so, a lot of confusion not just on the policy. not just whats going to happen to these kids ...

No one is going to come to any consensus. >> you think it wipes the dreamer problem out? >> totally. there is less social outrage over the dreamers than the pictures of the children. >> moderate republicans seemed desperate to vote for the dreamers just a couple weeks ago. >> we are talking about a 70-30 issue with families. it is of overriding performance. by embracing action to take a trump -- trump has done his par part. if the republicans say we are for keeping families together, it puts the...

Tell, it set me off, because i thought it was so appallingly insensitive, so appallingly egotistical and so not what a president should do. and so i wrote about actually the three ways in which this president has engaged in dereliction of duty. were in nation under attack. we have no commander in chief or -- nation is grieving and we have no consoler in chief. and our nation is trying to figure out a way to fix a dreamer problem that is a significant part of the presidents own nation and we have...

About, they made vows to reducing family chain migration, that you couldnt bring across parents, for example, couldnt sponsor parents and even current residents couldnt bring in adult siblings. >> i think the lesson here when you go back to bush administration or obama administration is you need to go small on immigration. when you try to bring in too much diversity visa lottery, employer security, e-verify, gets too big and complicated. i think you need to go small and the hardliners are asking...

Disorganized and well meaning but not effective. >> were on the heels of big losses electorally. were getting our act together. i think were focussed on being against the president in a lot of what hes putting forward. because we dont think his ra racist sexist agenda is good for the country. were fighting that. i would like us to be a little bolder. i wish the whole debate with immigration that started from our side as a path way to citizens and negotiate down to daca as opposed to start at dac...

Dockca or include comprehensive immigration reform. suggesting to do both is too big a lift. listen here. >> we have a deadline looming and a lot of lives hanging. we can agree on some very fundamental and important things together on border security. on chain. on the future of diversity visas. comprehensive, though, i worked on it for six months. with michael bennett and a number of, bob menendez and schumer and cain and jeff lake. took us six months to put it together. we dont have six months ...

Stay. if you are going to fix the dreamer problem, i think congress absolutely showed, its the right thing to do and i think president trump is made that clear, to pair that legislative action with some form of enforcement, immigration enforcement, border security, it makes sense, it is a reasonable trade, it should be a lay up for to get this done but we are living in a very polarized time into very dysfunctional setting. >> jon: sometimes doing what makes sense in washington isnt necessarily e...
