embracing drama but getting to the bottom of these deals in a way that is bipartisan. bipartisanship is how our democracy works. heather: he gave them a bipartisan chance to get the deal done and put together on daca until march 5th when it runs out, gave them a chance to do that and they could come together to do it. let s be clear, the only concession democrats got was a vote on this daca deal, the president offered a deal that goes beyond the initial 690,000 daca recipient, broadens that to 1.8 million people who would otherwise have been qualified, it is very generous deal, the president is asking democrats to support border security measures, talk about getting things done, barack obama stood up there in 2013 state of the union and said real reform even stronger border security and got a standing ovation from both
and the next year he came back illegally to find work. six american-born children and a seventh on the way. laura: you heard that. he was here 20 years, does not speak english. he was deported once only to come back illegally. and his 13-year-old wife is a daca recipient. contrary to what democrats have tried to do to brainwash generations of african-americans to believe that republicans are racist, terrible heart was people, they ve done the same with hispanics. it s only donald trump who had the guts to point out that an unenforced border hits black, hispanic, and working poor generally disproportionately hard. lowering wages, shuttering a lot of people out of entire job sectors and of course, the crim crime. playing the crass game of

i like general kelly. i think he s a wonderful man. are you saying steve miller? the reason we yanked these things back is mr. miller, i ve known him for a long time and i know his early support of the president. his mainstream has never been in agreement with the senate, and we re never going to get there as long as we embrace concepts that can t possibly get 60 votes. one of the concepts i completely reject is that we have too much legal immigration. mr. miller was to restrict legal immigration at a time when we need more legal immigration. so mr. miller has evolved on a path way to citizenship, but for every green card you give a daca recipient, he wants to take it out of the system. i don t want green cards just for workers. if you re a construction worker,
general kelly, i think he s a wonderful man. are you saying steve miller? i think the reason we yanked these things back is because mr. miller i ve known him for a long time, i know he s passionate. i ll tell you, his view of immigration has never been in the mainstream of the senate, and we re never going to get there as long as we embrace concepts that cannot possibly get 60 votes. one of the concepts that i just completely reject is that we have too much legal immigration. now, mr. miller wants to restrict legal immigration at a time we have a worker shortage, we re a declining population, we need more legal immigration. so mr. miller has evolved on a pathway to citizenship, but for every green card you give a daca recipient, you take away one. if you re out there working in the fields, if you re a construction worker, i want some
