Platform or get out of the way? >> i think it will have two different effects. the primaries in so far there are, people are going to run towards trump pro breaking up the families, pro arresting people in states like nevada where dean heller was with president trump, this has to be a horrible issue for him. this state is 30% hispanic. it was juwon by hillary clinton. it could cost the party a senate seat. >> raul, quickly, do you that i congress is likely to actually do something on immigration...

Laying out potentially why president trump is there on a day like this, right? given the very topic of immigration in a state like nevada where according to the recent census number, 29% are latino or hispanic, of course, this is one group associated with immigration but theres also another, in that state 9% are of asian descent. another group watching immigration. we have yet to hear necessarily pointed remarks from him. what do you think hes trying to do here, really help heller? >> absolutely...
