The dreamers over government funding and democrats then backed down a little bit. i wonder, betsy, maybe i'll throw this to you. if this thing goes into limbo for the next few months where there's no deal on daca, trump's not moving toward a deal, but we're also not getting deportations. is there any political risk there for democrats just in terms of the more they talk about this at the expense of talking about jobs or, you know, social security, any of their traditional bread and butter issues, that that issue -- what are they prioritizing here comes into play? >> the priority question puts ...

Coming in to take advantage of daca. as my colleague at the "wall street journal" said you can't take advantage of daca if you're coming in now or in the future. it is unclear if the president really understands this policy and i also think it is worth noting there have been potential deals in the past that he has said no to because they didn't do enough for family migration, they didn't do enough for the diversity visa lottery program. so, people have sort of tried to meet him in the middle and it is unclear where he'd be willing to -- he hasn't put down any markers as to where he would be wi...
