Reaffirmed that commitment yesterday in our meetings. i will tell you, its not just about the wall, its about border security and its about moving the ball forward for the dreamers at the same time. if this takes multiple step, thats what the legislative process is about. dont declare it a defeat. thats a win. its a win for the american people. >> congressman schrader, really quickly, i know youre part of the problem solvers caucus, but the wall, really? >> yes, thats not going to happen. all du...
