i ve been working for the president of the united states and the administration, i talked to him just yesterday, the president is fully committed to both of these bills. he has put the full weight of his office behind it. the mccall, goodlatte bill, they both i would say provide the four pillars that i discussed with the president at that sort of famous round table discussion. most importantly from my perspective, it s got border security in there. it s got funding for the wall the president really wants. it s got the technology and boots on the ground. and the four pillars being ending chain migration, ending this random visa lottery system, providing border security, and a daca solution. so i think obviously i d like to see mccall, goodlatte pass on the floor and we wouldn t have to get to a second bill. but if it gets to that point, i do think this is a historic opportunity to advance conservative agenda that we ve
[ ] the president is fully committed to both of these bills. he put the full weight of his office behind it. you have the mccaul-golatte bill. they both provide the four pillars i discussed with the president, ending klain migration, ending this random visa lottery system, providing border security and a daca solution. eric: the house leaders set to meet with president trump, clarifying that the president will sign either bill under consideration. president trump said he would not support the more moderate of the two. but he may now sign either one. what would this mean? the director of the u.n. engagement at seton hall university school. the president will go up to capitol hill on tuesday.
you never know until there s a vote. shannon: exactly. i think there s going to be an awful lot of tension within the republican caucus for all the reasons that liam just described. before you can even get to whether or not democrats could be brought further. shannon: many hurdles. here s what nanci pelosi, the top democrat in the house is saying about this. this is the first time in this era that we ve had a president that has rejected newcomers to our country. shannon: liam a lot of people will say that s not fair. he s not rejecting people coming here illegally. is there any way to make this less divisive and less partisan so there could be a solution? part of thish sioux congress doesn t do comprehensive very well. they keep it narrow, keep it simple, come up with a border solution and a daca solution. that s the only way you don t get into tripping other things that end up you know to build a coalition that gets to 218 or gets to 60 in the senate, you need to keep it
work, the border patrol chief in this sector told me half of the people coming in here are not coming as economic refugees or migrants. they re coming to seek asylum from dangerous street gangs like ms-13. which by the way, jeff sessions said is a culture yes, he says there s a culture of violence in central and south america. ms-13 were created in los angeles and deported to those countries and that s what people are fleeing from. wow, all right, robert costa, you re saying look inside the white house and pointing to steven miller. outside the white house, corey stewart, anti-immigrant platform, wins in virginia. stephen king, retweets a neo-nazi. paul ryan, undercutting a daca solution. steve king, excuse me, steve king. and you got paul ryan undercutting a daca solution. so you can point to steven miller, but where s congress? where s the republican party?
with this process. i ve been told behind the scenes, the president has been hands off on this whole immigration idea. his only point has been, i don t want to deal with this. andtwo, anything you do, make sure it addresses what i want in this bill. is this an elegant solution? no. it allows the leadership to bring to the floor, give the moderates something to vote on and giving conservatives something to vote on.this is th proposal, authorizes construction of the border wall, requires employers to use e-verify, and it cuts overall immigration by%. soforgive me if i m g, but this looks like conservatives get to vote on that, and then run campaign ads saying i voted to, and moderates get to vote on a daca solution and run campaign ads on i voted to, when nothing happens. you just get to run a campaign ad saying i voted to.
