know if it would have worked better this time had they not done it i think it is pretty obvious it was the timing never made sense to me last time. but they did it. sure. what do you do now? so here is what we did. we met with leader pelosi, members of the hispanic here is the purpose of the meeting. the purpose of the meeting is show us the way forward. now that democrats abdicated their responsibility to the dreamer community by folding in the senate and approving reopening the government, what is the way forward? she said it was the caps. and i said, great. sounds like a good way forward. is it? or is it not? here is what i would say to you, chuck. democrats are very good at spanish. one word. manna. tomorrow. every time it comes to immigration policy and i could sit down with you and we could sit down for half an hour and i ll give you ample examples at where the democratic party they talk a great game, they talk
october 5th. some of the questions over hearing here, the phones are can i drive to work? what do i do if the police stop me? what are some of the fears you re hearing from the dreamer community here in houston? so, we re barely repairing from one natural disaster to di. i mean what we saw today was really that the president trump was too much of a coward to come out and speak and jeff session came out and talked about resenting the program. so, we want to make sure the community knows we fought for this and we ll continue to fight to make sure our families and our community are protected. thank you so much, oscar. craig, holding a press conference here later this fran. their main message, they tell me, the fight is not over. dreamers need to mobilize and phone banking is a crucial step to be able to do that. thank you. some of daca s biggest republican opponents see a possibility.
iowa. where else would you be? it s a crowded field, again. good roots there with the evangelical community. so how he doing today? reporter: that s circumstantial true. the voters here that s certainly true. the voters here recognize him wrefr wherever he goes. some of that from his fox tv show he gave up to enter the race. one of the voters he spoke to asked, said that we weren t sure you were serious. were you just doing this to sell books. huckabee said, you know, it s clear i ve given up a lot to do this. i m going to try it again. his challenge i ll let you see him talking to voters. the challenge this time is going to be to stand up from the crowd. you saw this even on the front page of the des moines register. activists saying instead of being the new face, the downhome charm, the underdog he is somebody who comes in on top and comes in competing with a series ofnations includes people like senator of faces that includes people like ted cruz.
and it s a signal that it s going to be a nasty fight in iowa. can t wait for the debates. thank you very much. and hillary clinton starting a california fundraising drive today. beginning in silicon valley working down the coast. this after her pitch to hispanics in nevada yesterday with an appeal for immigration reform bound to put republicans on notice. joining me for our daily fix, chris eless afounder of washington post fix blog and washington post editorial columnist ruth marcus. chris, chris, on immigration, she is taking a much more aggressive stance than barack obama and certainly any of the republicans. it was resonating already. of course, members of the activists and dreamer community want to see more they want to see how she s going do it. but she s the only one out there outlining a policy that would include parents and would address some of the other issues that they view as inequities,
hillary clinton to have the world vision. for me i m still fighting for my 70-year-old mother who s still undocumented. for dreamers like myself it s not to be a cheerleader for a politician. our job it to continue to push them in the right direction and making sure we see from hillary clinton, not just words and i think it s a great step but to see an actual plan how does this plan out timeline how do the specifics play out? how the president has said he was limited. i think we need to see more. but it was definitely a great step for hillary clinton to demonstrate that she s willing to listen to the community willing to listen to what s going on in in the reality in politics, not trying to flash out flashy rhetoric. i was in the school library to watch all of it and her interactions with the young people, dreamers among them. what about the legal authority to protect the parents of dreamers?
