Question. >> reporter: senate majority leader mitch mcconnell today will mirror a plan put into place by the president saturday, which is temporary protection for daca recipients, temporary status for daca extension. millions for humanitarian and drug detection program, all for his border wall. the democrats dont see it as a deal. as of now, he doesnt have any votes, maybe one or two, but this will probably fall apart in

Full funding for his border wall in exchange for three year of protection for daca recipients as well as immigrants with expiring temporary status. but the plan is pretty much dead on arrival in congress because even as mitch mcconnell says the senate will vote on the proposal this week, the message from democrats remains clear. open the government first and then well talk. >> we just also made clear that what the president proposed yesterday increasining border security, looking at tps, the dre...

Votes in the senate without giving something up for the democrats as well. he said, though, despite again, he left the meeting feeling very encouraged at the same time he could not say when the shutdown might end. here is a little bit of what he had to say. >> what i mentioned today is outline of potential breakthrough would be $5 billion for wall/border security, to bridge act and tps reform, thats in the realm of possibility. temporary status, given to individuals who are here who are not u.s....

And we pass comprehensive reform or at least reform that protects those that are the dreamers and here on temporary status. >> i think the oughts of comprehensive immigration reform as defined by democrats are zero or less than zero. there are conversations about protecting the dreamers and there has been a snag there. they want to do it in the funding bill and most have to vote yes. there is enough people to vote yes and it gets to the president. conservatives said no way, we are not going to d...
