moderates say they are tired of waiting for a solution the protect d.r.e.a.m.ers. 20 republicans signed on to an effort to force a debate and potential vote on the house floor. they are using it as leverage to try to strike a deal. many of these republicans are in the tough districts facing tough re-election fights this year with lots of hispanic constituents. like california s jeff denim who is leading the push for these votes even though he is friend with mccarthy who is trying to stop this thing. he is out with this ad. the ad is in spanish. if you couldn t hear it there, that was a primal scream from republican centrists if you will and a a sign of how panicked some of them are about losing their jobs. trust me you wouldn t want to start a fight inside the house of representatives if you didn t
military leadership in this country, andrea, has been calling me as a member of the armed services committee saying thank you you guys for what you have done. it is a challenging and dangerous world out there and we need certainty. we also need funding for opioids and we also need funding for the chesapeake bay program and for economic development and workforce training. that s what s in this bill. we ve worked together to compromise. again, when the president tweeted it out this morning, he s got to show he cannot just wreck a deal but he can do a deal. he blew up a deal for d.r.e.a.m.ers a month ago where we basically did what he asked for d.r.e.a.m.ers and we gave him every penny of what he asked for for border security and after that he said it was unacceptable and he blew it up. he can sure wreck a deal. he needs to show the american public he can make a deal. let me point out the obvious.
done, immigration reform. griff: now this issue is going to take front and center in washington this week in the coming weeks because despite nancy pelosi s eight hour on the house floor paul ryan has said look we re going to do something on daca, we want to do something on daca we ll see what comes up and what deal can be donald it will be interesting to see if democrats continue to just resist from any progress. pete: he was a very clear thinker and he pointed out a very important point. if democrats really cared about daca recipients they would have done something about it when they had the levers of power and they never did instead they did an executive action which kicked the can down the road, president trump had to deal with it and no i argue too generous of an offer but he s made a very generous offer on immigration deal and some dreamers are saying we should thank president trump. rachel: right and i think what he points out is that the deput ies hate donald trump more than th
clear that the democrats just do not like this president. they hate this president frankly , and they want to regain power so that they can move to impeach him and they re not doing anything in terms of messaging or in terms of doing or having a plan to the american people. it feels like this president has just put the left in a box with this immigration plan because he s actually offering more than what they ve asked for the dream ers if they say no to this, it s obviously going to just be well we just want to resist because he s just offering what they wanted. he offered three times more than what they wanted. maria: right. so will we see a deal on immigration, tell us about daca and immigration and what is to come in the coming weeks. i certainly hope there should be a deal get this off the table take care of young people and again if the democrats are turning down it should be an issue against them in the campaign. we re trying to get it resolved. the president wants to resolve
notion is just not right. so let s talk more about this. become with us, daniel lippman. so let s talk about reaching a bipartisan deal when it comes to immigration. we have a march dead line of scrimmage. the white house putting out the proposal which the president drove home last night that the far right not necessarily agreeing with spryiupplying a p to citizenship. the left thinking the president is holding the daca recipients hostage. what is the likelihood that we could reach a bipartisan agreement by the march deadline? i would caution you that it is not a strict march deadline as it used to be because of a court ruling that said that trump s reskricinding of daca w illegal. those d.r.e.a.m.ers would stay in the country indefinitely until the supreme court weighs in. we did see a glimmer of hope last night because dick durbin
