part never came. if the president wants to get a deal that language isn't going to help. >> it's almost silly that we're even still having this conversation whether the president can get a deal. this has been over for a long time. it's coming up again because there is now a border crisis, but i think immigration reform has been off the table for basically the better part of this year, and so that's part of why i think the president feels liberated to go off on the republicans when he made his speech about the executive actions that he was planning to take, feels like a century ago but really just a couple of weeks ago, the reason he did that, he had finally given up hope and finally been told the house republicans weren't going to do it. they've been stringing along their allies in the business community but this wasn't going to happen, and i think despite or more intensely because of what's happening on the border this isn't going to happen. >> you see on the senate side
