Roll back to some extent the daca program, you know how washington works. what kind of fight do you see setting up? >> well, i think, unfortunately, as in all things immigration related, you run the likelihood of having other issues brought to the fore. and for example, i heard the president quoted the idea of a dream act, which would put the daca program into statute, being tied to funding for a border wall. and thereby using the young people as trade bait. that would be the wrong way to approa...
