Three-year extension of temporary protected status for the roughly 300,000 immigrants currently covered under the status, theyre facing the prospect of their tps expiring. the white house is defending this proposal on saturday, against criticisms from both sides of the aisle, responding to charges from the far right that this bill would amount to amnesty. vice president pence said a pathway to citizenship right now is not on the table, claims that the bill would not constitute amnesty for the dr...

Into the dem side and following trump into the 2020 re-elect, theyre going with trump. the question is everyone else who is not with trump or on the far left. when do they get tired of this? when do they get tired of the blame of chicken and whom do they blame? that will determine who sort of caves first. >> so, scott, what is mitch mcconnell going to do? >> well, he needs something that could attract 60 votes and a presidential signature. i think the way mcconnell and trump could flip the scrip...

First step in the -- you know, in this $25 billion project of the presidents then that would be a mistake. so they need to find a way to define what that $5 billion is that is acceptable to both sides and perhaps there is a solution there if the other piece is a solution to the daca situation, which is extraordinarily important. >> i hope theyre all listening. >> he is completely right about this. if the democrats can find a way to define the $5 billion in a way their people can accept, hes comp...

They passed the senate unanimously a couple weeks ago. the senate should take them up again. the senate or the president doesnt take those bills up, they are saying they want to use this shutdown to apply pressure on the american people to make people who depend on government or work for government miserable to develop political pressure on the question of the wall. thats wrong. let me just say it is wrong to try to blackmail the american people by this kind of pressure. it is wrong to hold the ...

When john boehner was speaker, he promised he was going to do it and he just couldnt find the political constituency to back him. so, everything tells us that this is a congress and a republican party that just cant find a line through this very complicated divisive issue. that said, i do think tom cottons proposal, we will trade daca, relief for these dreamers who really caught the countrys imagination, speak to our hearts in a sense. well trade that for future limits on people who can come int...

11 days later. literally picking up the pieces but also now dealing with another storm. the fact that daca, the program that allowed them to get out of the shadows to be able to drive their families to safety after this storm, to hold jobs will be rescinded. im at a phone bank now here in houston where two organizations united we dream have been phone banking all day getting frantic calls from dreamers, from undocumented families about what will happen now after daca will be rescinded, as well a...

320,000 people who use daca and presumably another 220,000. it will be that slow, gradual process to get them off the rolls. >> victoria, the attorney general said they do this in part because eventually the court would find the program unconstitutionally. how accurate of a statement is that? >> its a pretty accurate one, craig. here he is basing himself off of daca issued after daca extending protections to the parents of undocumented youth and, also, including more documented youth. it made it...

He essentially let it die. that being said, i was pleasantly surprised that there wasnt a cold, hard end to it. i would not have been surprised if they would have said, this is it. no more renewals. thats it. its out of our hands, congress. this is your problem. the fact that there is a six-month and two-year window for daca recipients was surprising to me. >> i want to play something else that attorney general jeff sessions said about precisely why it was they needed to end the program. take a ...

Promising to be a dealmaker and the only legislative achievement he has to show so far is not evenly legislation at all. getting a new supreme court justice in and they had to change the rules in the senate to do even that. so, i think, for instance, on daca when he says ill move this over to congress to give congress a chance to act, that doesnt bode particularly well for the dreamers. again, this is a congress and a white house that hasnt been able to focus on one key issue, yet alone this lau...

Conversation. >> this is misleading. daca grants work authorization to 800,000 individuals who are not legally authorized to work. recipients whose average age is in their 20s. priorities remain the same. criminals, security twlets. and those who repeatedly violate our immigration laws. the main effect of todays announcement, is that work permits and other benefits are being gradually phased out. rather than leave daca recipients in confusing limbo, while the program was challenged by state noti...
