Thrower Republicans News Today

Detain them in such a manner. >> right. >> can that be spelled out in details? >> yes, i am sure it can. i am getting on a plane right after this about what it looks like. this news came from republicans who decided that their narrative is going to be we are trying to reduce beds for violent criminals and it is not true. we need to get ahead of this to talk about what the plan is and what we are asking for and how it compares to prooeevious poli. >> you heard lindsey graham says this could end u...

Democrats limits on immigration beds as potentially a loophole for more violent criminals to come into the country, and republicans are, you know, saying that if we limit detention beds, this is going to be problematic. i also think this is something that republicans have seized on in order to create blame towards republicans, because, know, the president himself has downplayed the effectiveness of this committee trying to figure out a way forward on immigration in order to keep the government o...

Barriers and this is what i have been talking about for a long time. the hang up is around detention beds. what the president and the republicans are asking for is not more beds for violent criminals, theyre asking for more beds for violent criminals. they made crossing border a crime. these are people against seeking asylum and coming from desperate situations and now have became criminals and we are detaining them. but, this is something that is basic humanitarian thing, it is a value issue. >...

Get to the real work that matters to so many americans. hearings have been postponed because we have to focus on this. committee work has been postponed. it is a tactic on the part of the president because he does not want these investigations to happen. i think we have to get this matter resolved. we cant get it resolved for another two weeks or months. we node to get it done for the balance of the fiscal year and we can come back in september and figure out whats next which is also annoying. >...

Doing so and had legal authorities doing so. we know there is a lot of resistance in doing this. people in his own white house have cooled on the idea and a number of high profile republicans and including mitch mcconnell have counted on the president not to do this, also, that it could set a template for a future democratic president to use it to advance some sort of liberal cost. their third option beyond the shutdown which is on the table that the white house really wants to avoid considering...

Optimism around all this. it was pretty much there until this morning thinking that a deal was close, but if you heard lloyd dockett there, he said the issue of immigration and beds along the border i.c.e. would have action to was in there a good month, theyve dealt with this. why coming up at the 11th hour? >> the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. right? so these issues have existed from the beginning for both democrats and repub...

Republicans are saying lets have an exemption for violent criminals. everyone whos a violent criminal would not count towards the cap or it would be meaningless. it is interesting that this is coming in at the 11th hour, looks like democrats are willing to budge a little bit allowing trump to build some barrier. it is causing republicans to sputter. one more sign that this thing is not close to being resolved. i think this is dpoigoing to en with trump declaring a national emergency and the whol...

Negotiators were optimistic they could reach an agreement by tomorrow. hopes are dwindling. white house acting chief of staff and budget chief mick mulvaney says the president is ready to act unilaterally if he doesnt get a deal he likes. >> we cannot definitively rule out a government shutdown end of this weernlgts whether or not he gets $1.6 billion or $2.5 billion or $5.7 billion hes going to do whatever he legally can to support that border. >> is declaring national emergency still on the ta...

Thousands of people that are seeking asylum here, but certainly there are some and they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. when the president has no case, he has a phony claim of crisis, he always turns to his prejudice and his demonization of foreigners. >> so your thinking that he will declare a national emergency, you said thats the least, worst of the options there. does that mean you do not believe theyll be able to come to a deal, to an agreement? >> well, you know, he ...

Challenges that we have on the southern border in a common sense way. i am hopeful, not positive that we can come to an agreement. >> is there an appetite anywhere for another shutdown? >> there is absolutely not. what senator tester is saying hes not talking to the right people. non-bomb thrower republicans on the hill are not the problem here, the problem is what the president will sign and his behavior makes it difficult to know what is achievable deal. >> you are echoing the sentiment of mel...
