A fix for this. they want to use it as a club to say that we re against immigration. i m a strong supporter of immigration. i worked with our refugees coming from war torn bosnia, someone who spent a lot of time in the former yugoslavia, this is a mischaracterization. what about some of the efforts we have seen. we have seen the bipartisan proposal going to be put forth by senators mccain and coons and before it was formally addressed, the president shooting it down. is there enough incentive on both sides here to come together and to have a meaningful discussion and to at least work with a proposal as opposed to shooting it down before it is formally introduced? if you look at the legislation, it is the legislation is i don t agree with what senator mccain and senator coons i think it was terrible. i think what the president offered was actually a very, very big a very generous, much more than was in the goodlatte bill, the secure america s future act, i think ....
That yet. sandra: chris, while this plan includes for those dreamers a solution for them, an opportunity for citizenship, it orders a study to figure out what border security measures are needed. that s not going to go over well with president trump. , no it s not. the ordering a study is a scam that exists in washington you give me what i want and i ll study what you want. this is dead on arrival. mccain and kuhn s know that. john mccain, the most effective ad he ran is one where he was standing at the border saying build the [bleep] wall. now he comes out with a bipartisan bill that doesn t include it. when democrats are trying to play to their base using dreamers as human shields to try to win an election in november. it s unfortunate. there is zero chance it happens. they have a base angry at them over tax cuts and they ....
Federal government over daca. i think all those things combined demonstrate the left not really negotiating in a good faith effort. eric: marjorie, do you think that s the case? how do you get a deal? if they re not operating in good faith? on both sides of the aisle there are people standing their ground on certain issues and unwilling to give at all. the border wall and path to citizenship on the other. i think what john mccain and chris coons have proposed, representing both parties makes a lot of sense. it is moving it out of the emotional, which is i have to have my wall or i have to have family immigration all different kinds of issues to let s take a rational approach. that approach being let s look at it and actually find out what works in terms of border security. immigration has changed in 20 years since newt gingrich talked about the wall going up in san diego. we need to look at from a practical standpoint how we spend money and what will work. ....
Senators mccain and cuhns releasing a new plan but it doesn t have funding for the border wall. kris wilson worked for ted cruz and mary anne marsh. they join us now. mary anne, why would they introduce something that doesn t have something for the border wall? the president said he won t sign any legislation unless it includes it. donald trump wants a deal on dreamers, here is your deal. it is bipartisan. you have mccain and kuhns and senate, democrats and republican in both cases. here is your deal. the way it should have always been dealt with is separately. do the dreamers, do the wall, do the budget, three separate things. but donald trump doesn t want to do that. so i think it is just as likely that we don t have a deal on the dreamers or the wall and that both of them could be hanging in purgatory for the next year. the ball is in donald trump s court or see if congress is willing to stand up to donald trump. they haven t been willing to do ....
Capitulateed last time and now we have to go back in and get our base we won t be able to take advantage of the electoral advantage they should have because of a republican president now. i think it will be another situation where they ll have to capitulate. the american people are not with them on this. they support some amnesty for dreamers but support a wall stronger. sandra: we are talking a few days away we ll see this movie again, mary anne? here is what john mccain said in his statement introducing this bipartisan legislation, this plan which we just detailed includes a study for the border wall. the current political reality demands bipartisan cooperation to address the impending expiration of the daca program and secure the south border. where does this leave us, mary anne? in purgatory, that s the problem. i mean, really what should happen here is what i said before. deal with all of them separately but remember in the senate you need 60 votes to ....
