Dealing with daca. the process will be neutral and fair to all sides. >> let me be clear, this immigration debate will have a level playing field at the outset, and an amendment process that is fair to all sides. >> melissa: let's bring in republican senator bill cassidy of louisiana, a member of the finance committee. thank you for joining us. do you believe those words that you heard? that is quite a difference from what we've seen from washington lately. it would be nice to think that everybody is on a level playing field to have an adult conversation about this. unfortunately we haven't se...

For another two weeks. nothing will change over the next two weeks so we should do our work. i want to talk about daca but the results of the continuing resolutions is that our military cannot do the war planning it needs to do. it has airplanes that are broken. they cannot get parts because of the stupid budgeting. and if they can't get parts, they can't train pilots because the pilots can't fly. we've cut domestic discretionary spending by 35% as a percentage of gdp because of the auto pilot that we've been on. so those reasons alone are enough for me to say enough is enough. and then there'...
