Believe that we have to put in infrastructure, reinforce the fencing that need be, already in place, especially at the ports of entry. we need to upgrade these ports of entry, make them welcoming and equip them with the equipment that they need, the technology that they need. 90% of all the drugs coming into the country are coming through the ports of entry that are ill staffed and ill prepared. >> neil: you dont have a problem with a wall per se? >> well, im against a concrete, 30 foot high -- ...

Watching. go ahead. >> all right, listen, let me say i know were going to have to add additional border security. but what we ought to do, particularly as we go into the second pay. where folks arent going to get checks, people cant keep their homes, having their cars repossessed. open the government and get these folks back on. >> neil: i understand what you are saying. nancy pelosi says such discussions. providing funding for a wall. i asked steny hoyer yesterday. saying he doesnt have a probl...

Neil: you know, dont you? >> know i dont. im sure he will reinforce his commitment to protecting the country for homeland security and border security. neil: would you be open to declaring an emergency? they wont move, i will? >> it sound like it might be progress. i have no idea what it will do. neil: another thing is declaring an emergency might get the government back operating again but it would surely be slapped down by any one of the circuit courts across the country and then we are back t...

Articulates his positions, yesterday we got a little bit of glimpse into the thinking of the president when senator linld ds graham came out and said its not about the wall per se, the wall is a metaphor for border security. it seems the tweets this morning are refuting that because he is doubling down on the word wall at least. im curious to get your thoughts as to -- lindsey graham yesterday at the white house, in what capacity was he there to speak? was he kind of like back channelling this i...

Here? >> a lot of things are being discussed, and as i said, the president has made it clear he is willing at some point if we absolutely have to go back off 5 billion. right now he still feels hes in a good position to negotiate with democrats and get their number up higher. but at the end of the day, republicans and many will agree, its not just about a wall per se or steel slats or whatever you want to call it or a fence. it is about making sure that we secure our borders in many ways whether...

For the wall, so theres going to be a shoutdown. the votes simply are not there in the senate, and i doubt the votes are there in the house, so i think hes got to get realistic. if he wants a real deal, you know, he could have had a deal on border security with dhaka but he walked away from it, but at some point i think hes got to be serious and realistic about his -- his demand in this late hour. >> joshua, your reaction? >> well, i think trump is backed into a corner here. there were signs ove...

Further down here. this is actually a water treatment area that is run by the local municipality, thats part of the reason this wall is set up here. basically, what you are hearing from people here is that not so much issues about the wall per se there is that concern about having sort of those boots on the ground along the border. what will that look like and mean for them? those are questions they have even though we seen past presidents deploy the national guard. >> folks in general are okay ...

The republicans want something in return for it and thats border security so that we dont have future daca. i think that sounds wholly reasonable. i really dont think you need a wall per se, we need border security. the way to keep people coming over from mexico to the united states is no t tt the wall, it cut-off the incentives of getting them paid. so there is a lot of things you can do. one to require employees to only do electronic transfers to their bank account when they pay them. it is si...

2,000-mile long concrete wall. in fact congressman will herd, republican from texas, is working with the hispanic caucus on some language right now to help create a smart wall, so to speak, as well as a helping the d.r.e.a.m.ers. many of us wanti to see this agreement. its not going to be a wall per se but enhanced border security measures. >> i was going to ask you to talk for us about your decision to retire but im out of time. do you feel liberated at all or what does it feel like? >> it feel...
