Priorities who were simply registered at local i.c.e. offices be deported. i wonder if he is aware or if the reporting that you have suggests that maybe there was some lack of awareness that, without the protections, certainly deportation is possible. >> deportation is possible, and without work permits, obviously, it becomes much harder for people to earn a living or, you know, contribute to society. and i think thats -- he is somebody who has expressed sympathy, as you have shown in these clip...

Conflicted? >> yes, i mean i think is he genuinely conflicted but as those clips really illustrate, the strategy of making daca a scapegoat in the election was just that, it was an actual strategy. it was not by chance, not because he didnt understand the program. the reality of governing is much harder and republicans recognize getting rid of this program is not going to be popular. what im looking for in the next, today really and the next couple of days in terms of clarity from this administr...

The president had his second trip to texas over the weekend. his first trip he was criticized about not meeting with the victims, talking with the victims. we see here in this video he is interacting with the victims. do you gi him credit? >> i do give him credit and actually spending time with victims. his tone in the second trip when he was attacking the media is incredibly toned down. its incredibly hurtful to people who have just lost their home, lost their family members, including tens of ...

Thing that came out of this, i mean, you have your life. you have your husband. >> i do. i am very appreciative. and i am appreciative for everything everyone has done for us. the shelter was wonderful. alexander -- i dont know what was it. the people there were wonderful. they hope to do anything. they had doctors there that were helping me. >> linda, we appreciate your hospitality and we wish you all the best. i know you are getting a lot of help. >> we appreciate you all. >> thank you very mu...

Remove criminal undocumented immigrants a good deal of enforcement progress there and federal funding for smpg canctu cities. court battle and nothing big. were in the eighth month. signature issue for this president. not a great report card. >> right. so the question with daca becomes, however he exactly does it, if what hes doing tomorrow is, in fact, to say this administration does not recognize this policy anymore, until congress acts or if congress never acts, the ball is then in the trump ...

Them work permits, allows them to go to college. this summer i know you were invited by the president for a private dinner at the white house. have you talked to him about this issue specifically? >> yes. weve written him a letter. we hope he makes the right decision and supports these children. these are children who came here by no choice of their own. they have their american culture, theyre american educated. weve invested billions of dollars into getting them where they are now. we have 800...

Letter, this original letter apparently, but do you think it will have an impact in the obstruction of justice issues that the special counsels looking into? >> well, i think bob muellers going to be looking at why there were so many different explanations or rationales given publicly for the removal of james comey. that obviously does raise questions about what was real motivation. so, again, it presents a challenge for the administration in that i think it is going to encourage the special cou...
