Insidiary when you add the other pieces. youre going to piss off one part of the group and the whole deal will collapse. >> some of the more controversial aspects of this seem to be the cutting of legal immigration as well as this re-branded safe act, essentially. heres what senator flake had to say. >> i doubt that youll have enough time to do the kind of legislating, horse trading, whatever you want to call it to deal with legal immigration. i think that most likely saying it will have the dac...

Some clarity from the white house on what the president would actually sign. heres part of that conversation from yesterday. >> it would help if the president would say, hey, i will sign the d.r.e.a.m. act or i will sign of bridge act or the safe act or any of these. that would really help. >> reporter: so theres a little bit of hot potato here. the president saying its congress job to fix this. the congress saying weve got a whole bunch of options, which one do you want. well see if the preside...

Campaigning on which we thought was unconstitutional, based on risk, not religion from high threat areas. it was consistent with the security bill signed by president obama and the safe act that passed the house with bipartisan veto-proof majority. my concern as you and i have talked is how its implemented and the execution of this order. first, lawful permanent residents with green cards were denied. military advisors who risked their lives to help u.s. forces overseas, as you know, were denied...

Of this country. go back, remember when we had the paris shooting, we heard about credible intelligence that isis was trying to infiltrate refugee populations? we passed, i think it was called the s.a.f.e. act with 289 to put a pause in the refugee program. so what is happening is something that we support which is we need to pause and make sure that the jetting standards are up to snuff so we can guarantee the safety and security of our country. that is what this does. we want that goal to be a...

Responsibility to the security of this country. go back, remember when we had the paris shooting and when we heard about credible intelligence that isis was trying to infiltrate refugee populations? we passed the safe act with 289 votes to pause the immigration program. it went through the house but went nowhere in the senate. this is something we support. we need to pause and make sure that the vetting standards are up to snuff so we can guarantee the safety and security of our country. thats w...

This isnt a fight worth taking right now. and i mean, paul ryan said he supported the bill. he referenced his own bill, the american safe act after the paris attacks that was essentially killed in the senate afterwards. his ban didnt mention the word muslims in it. but you know, the congress came up with the list of these seven countries that they thought residents, citizens of these countries should not be allowed into this country. they name them as, you know, as concerning terrorist havens. s...

Prohibits torture. i think he understands that would be illegal. general mattis has been strong about this as has cia director mike pompeo in his testimony before the senate that he would not allow for that. >> and one -- let me get back to the whole issue of muslim refugees, muslims, they have been persecuted in syria and iraq. christians, of course, as well, but how do you tell syrian and iraqi muslims and christians apart? >> well, again, this goes back to why the syrian refugee program neede...
