this framework will fulfill the four agreed upon pillars, securing the border and closing legal loopholes, ending extended family chain migration. canceling the visa lottery and providing a permanent solution on dax ca daca. after decades of inaction by congress it s time we work together to solve this issue once and for all. steve: the white house yesterday released a sweeping immigration plan offering a pathway to citizenship for dreamers and big money for the border wall. here for reaction, national border patrol counsel vice president joins us today from do you son-in-law. art, good morning tyou tucso. what do you think of the white house framework on immigration? you know, a lot was done in 86 the immigration reform act that it opened up an amnesty. but they didn t cover the proper loopholes when it came to border security.
people, let them stay. if that if you get a deal. >if you secure that border in return for those people staying, that s a deal i will take. ainsley: that s right. they will vet them. make sure they have the right education and they re improving america. steve: working. ainsley: if he they re working. and going to take 10 to 12 years. how many years did it take you start to finish? i arrived 40 odd years ago. i m afraid did i not become a citizen until two years ago. that s my fault. nobody else s fault. steve: just hedging your bet. to get here in the first place that was at least six months. my wife is an american which obviously helps. steve: stuart, thank you very much. is he going to be doing his show 9 to noon at fox business he does not talk to big shots. very sorry, everybody. steve: stuart, always a pleasure. all right. time for news at 20 minutes before the top of the hour. jillian: good friday morning to you guys and to you at home. get you caught up on
executive fee at. we had with us the vice president of the border patrol council arturaa joins us from tucson. he likes this proposal. the big issue and the fantastic thing about this president is that he has seen the mistakes of the past and is he doing everything that he can to correct them. moving forward, he is trying not to make those same mistakes. obviously putting border security at the front. ainsley: and he is willing to negotiate. that s what everybody is missing here. the democrats are whining because they just don t want daca and don t want anything else. it s give and take and negotiate. steve: the white house has sweetened the pot. because by expanding 800,000 to 1.8 million, it s like hey, that s a pretty good deal for us. right? pete: if elizabeth warren doesn t like it and steven miller and tom cotton and jim jordan in the program it if he like this it s a pretty good opening bid. ainsley: have to make sure
pete: first paragraph, all of this reporting based on four people who are told of the matter. also screams of a leak from the special counsel. weave did know a little bit about this. we heard back in june that there were talks of the president wasn t happy with bob mueller. what would he do? some new details that may or may not actually be true. ainsley: president says that s fake news. that happened last june. it s something we have to tell you have about because it a headline on the new york times. what do you think about that? do you even care? something you probably do care about is immigration. and congress is working on a plan. the white house says they are going to release it next week, just ahead of a few days ahead of the another possible government shutdown when they have to fund the government because they have kicked the can down the road. white house immigration includes some things that you probably do care about including allowing as many as 1.8 million young immigra
