Act and possibly he got an earful from immigration hard liners on his flight down from florida. its a path, a long one, to citizenship. >> daca does not. i think trump was under the impression dining with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer talking about legalizing daca which doesnt include a path to citizenship and pelosi and schumer went out in public saying we have a great deal. people who are now under daca will find a path to citizenship. i think trump said he supported this, got on the plane to...

That he is not familiar with the details of the policy because the first goal in all of this is self aggrandizement. i think he got intoxicated last week with the debt ceiling talks because he finally got good press around the notion that this is a white house that can push some kind of policy out the door but i think he was mistaken in his assessment of that because it was a policy that mitch mcconnell and paul ryan had to get on board with. i dont think theyre going to get on board with him on...

Are 7,000 of them. need to have some kind of resolution, what president obama did to them was put them in a two year limbo every year exposing them and their parents to real issues and real risk on deportation. they were aware of that when they got into the program, now theyre in the program, what president trump has done is said within the next six months we need to solve this legislatively. >> trump cutting deals with pelosi and schumer is what people like ted cruz warned republican voters abo...

With. he knows immigration, hes been doing it for 30 years, hes been making deals with republicans and then knifing them in the back once he gets his part of the deal. on immigration for 30 years, this is something the president doesnt have experience with in dealing with schumer. ive got to say, the very fact the president said, this isnt amnesty, were going to them staying at green cards, to me suggests he is in over his head. >> martha: david, what makes you think hes going to get the other p...

People are lining up in the streets. weve had huge crowds. its the confidence and the vice president are giving to our community that we can get through this. so when he said that, the crowd erupted. everybody is so thankful and excited to have his commitment. >> sandra: and hes coming off of that dinner last night meeting with leaders of the democrat party, congressman. he was asked from the tarmac when he landed down there in florida about daca and whether a deal was made last night. what are ...

Looking at citizenship and amnesty, but one of the spokes people said this could include legal citizenship over a period of time. if we take a step back here, we are seeing a strategic shift by this president in a major way. he cut the deal over the debt ceiling with democrats and then he is meeting with pelosi and schumer and having a nice meal over chinese food and cutting a deal over daca. he decided what he was doing before was not working. he is looking to democrats because what he wants to...

Schumer a clown, pelosi a loser, but now he seems to recognize that he needs them. how does that work? what changed? >> i think its less about him needing them, but more about the president wanting to work with them and wanting to help move this country forward. >> reporter: does he view schumer and pelosi as equal allies on the hill? >> look, the president is a republican. >> reporter: still, its clear the white house is enjoying this moment. >> this president has done more for bipartisanship i...

Mission to be done at a later date. now what is really important, the people at the table last night are not the ones who put a bill on the floor. that is mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. here is what the president had to say about his contact with them. >> were very much on board. i spoke to them, yes. >> very much on board, well, in theory, we understand from sources close to the speaker that he has not talked with the president since the dinner last night, but generally speaking, republican lea...

A lot of people believe these dreamers should stay here. what he did last night when meeting with pelosi and schumer, hey, if you want the dreamers to stay, lets figure out how to do it. you are willing to give me border security, ill give you a path way for these dreamers. this is bipartisanship at work. the president realized he can work with his caucus to get deals done so hes saying im going to work with democrats to get deals done. what pelosi and schumer did, they went out before the presi...

Negotiations. there isnt an agreement, and its very clear -- and i want to make this clear over and over again -- if we dont fix the problems we have with border security and enforcement, and we would only fix daca, were going to have another daca problem a decade from now. thats the symptom of the problem. so lets fix both. i think people are beginning to understand that our position has not changed. it is going to stay the same. and more importantly, i think people understand this. its totally...
