to listen. i think the president made an appeal and showed leadership in putting forward a plan to resolve the daca situation. an issue that s playing plagued our country for decades and the outcry for at kra in providing not just permanent residence, but a pathway for zitsship for people living in this country. so far, democrats have continue ed to cry they don t want to solve the problem. we are anxious to solve the problem now it s time for democrat os offer concessions. but when it comes to the issue of changes to legal immigration, democrats have said that the white house s plan is inhumane and essentially a non-starter when it comes to hammering out a deal with the white house and with republicans. we should note all of this preview on the state of the union is just what s on paper. that s teleprompter trump.
compassionate solution to the daca situation. he wants to give them certainty. but any daca solution has got to include border security, to include a wall. steve: right. end of chain migration and an end to this diversity lottery. he has been very clear about that from the beginning. steve: right. he has been very clear about it, senator, and yet durbin and flake and graham brought this proposal to him last thursday and part of that stuff was there but the rest of it wasn t and he said are you guys kidding? this isn t what i want. get out of here. well, that s exactly right. this president knows what the american people want. he is instinctive about this issue. that s how he got elected. one of the main issues he got elected on. this is deal that should get done. the president has done at love big deals. he know instinctively this deal should get done. symmetry here. both sides want to end diversity lottery. both sides want to solve the border security issue. the president has been
schumer s move. this is jon cornyn. let s listen. thankfully the democrats realize the mistake they made in shutting down the government over thisresolved issue of daca, but they ve kept additional hostages, money that should be appropriated the rest of the fiscal year to support our military and to give some predictability to our nation s national security. and also they re holding hostage the money that the house passed, $81 billion for disaster relief for the victims of hurricane irma and hurricane harvey as well as the wildfires out west. i hope the democrats realize we re serious about working on a bipartisan solution to the daca
clinton and also president obama in 2013, it s just very hard to use this. henry kizen engineer said what is nuclear superiority. this is th applies to a government shutdown. who is winning the messagiin war right now in terms of whose fault this is? i think it s kind b of a muddle. they both have real vulnerabilities. republicans are vulnerable because there s a general perception in the public of a high level of chaos associated with the trump presidency. this compounds that image unfortunately for them right at the one-year an veniversary of taking office. on the other hand, the polling is clear that the country does not support the idea of shutting down the government as a way of doling with the daca situation. and particularly for those ten democratic senators, i m sure you ve been talking about who are in states running in 2018 in states that president trump
to have to give credit to president trump as a dealmaker because he took the risk of really upsetting republican leaders by sending senator schumer down there, two new yorkers hashing this out, leaving out the speaker and the senate republican leader. and it looks like there is movement. we just saw mick mulvaney at the white house saying that it looks like there is a deal to be had. bret: they want four weeks. it doesn t sound like the democrats are going to give them four weeks. they are a going to have shortr time to get their back up against the wall on daca. march 5th is the deadline for the daca situation. does five days work? more than five days. less than four weeks. and also you have to think is the deadline really a deadline because in mick mulvaney again was talking about the next federal pay day is next friday. of course, if you can do something this weekend and get it cleared up before monday, then people can come back to
