Make a determination on the people, they are terrific people but make a determination. before we make that determination, it's very important we want to secure our border. >> president talking there about prioritizing criminal, people who are criminals who are in the country illegally. how does that reconcile with your client's case? >> well, it doesn't reconcile with our client's case and it doesn't reconcile with the administration's approach to enforcing, you know, immigration priorities in terms of detention and deportation, you know, from the very onset of this administration, and their r...

Uncertainty. i think there are other ways that he could have handled it. but i'm not -- i think congress ought to step up and deal with this. i think the pattern of the last -- i don't know, you could say 30 or 40 years, has been for congress to abdicate its responsibility to the executive. i don't think it's a bad thing we have to deal with it. but the uncertainty created in those people's lives is really unfortunate and unnecessary. butti think the good news is i sense there's a real opportunity here and some bipartisan interest in solving this problem. >> i'll tell you what, it would be pol...
