since january much earlier in the administration when he was out talking quite frequently about the so-called travel ban that the president had been proposing. he has been behind closed doors for a while after that. now coming back out to talk about this policy. and i would say that the bottom line is this, the president might support this policy, and he might be having a couple of senators here to talk about it. there is very little appetite, ali, in congress to actually have this become the law of the land. and there is not a clear response from the white house as to how they plab to get some political support behind this other than saying the american people eventually will like it and that will put some pressure on lawmakers to do something about it. didn't shut the had door to compromise, but it's unlikely that the white house will make the kinds of changes that lawmakers would need to see in order to back something like this. and i asked steven miller about that, ali. >> you talk about the president's agenda and why it's implemented, but obviously if this doesn't become law it won't be implemented and there's already resistance in congress
