>> well, i want to be clarify one thing. which is for years unaccompanied children have been coming from central america and mexico and entering the united states and this is a significantly different population because they have been separated from their parents and they're trying to be in touch with them and wondering if they're ever going to see their mother or father again. that's why there's this sense of crisis. for the people who are caring for them and for their parents who have lost them and are trying to find them, it really feels like a frantic emergency. >> martha mendoza, we'll le...

If the speaker wanted to, as he was asked, put an emergency bill on the floor, he could do it much more quickly, it would be narrow. we know that even if this does pass the house and it's far from certain that it's going to pass the house, it is all but certain to fail in the senate. it is a broad immigration package. >> right. >> reporter: and the reality is that won't fix -- that means that we will be left more families every day will be separated. i mean, it is incredibly difficult to find anyone in this building who is advocating in favor of the president's policy the way some of his, you ...
