haven't been filled is there's retention problems within border patrol that needs to be addressed. so i would love to take some of that money and make sure that we give the men and women in border patrol that are doing a hard job more salary. >> and so you think, open the government back up and then continue to negotiate how you handle border security? >> we can open the government, we can solve this problem. there's a number of ways we can deal with this. let's go back to the president's state of the union address when he talked about, you know, having a permanent legislative fix for 1.2 million daca recipients and having smart border security solutions. you know, we can do that. we can add tps in that. >> is that frustrating to you? because none of that happened. daca was presented and then you had a deal before christmas. none of that happened. that's got to be frustrating, especially as a republican. >> oh, look, it's absolutely frustrating. we have 3.9% unemployment in this country. what does that mean? whether it's from agriculture or artificial intelligence, you need workers.
