street journal saying this. then he agreed to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell s proposal to fund the government for two months to move the funding debate into the new year when democrats run the house. then the freedom gop house caucus and talk radio hosts stomped their feet and trump flipped back to welcoming a shutdown, and tweeting that, quote, it could be a long stay. i don t know if i told you, but this is a conservative wall street journal editorial page asking the question to what end? trump shutdown tactic is to hold his breath until the other side gives in. this didn t work for newt gingrich in 1995, though at least newt was battling bill clinton over major reforms in the entitlement state. trump is holding his breath over a mere $3.4 billion in spending for a piece of political symbolism. and, rick tyler, as i have said
giving citizenship to 1.8 million people here. that s a huge number. there s a lot of gray areas. i think that s why you re seeing the senate debate. it is not as black and white as it has been framed. the debate is getting more sophisticated. if you have prohibition on legal immigration you ll have more illegal immigration. if you end the entitlement state which republicans and democrats are not willing to do, you re going to see a vast shift in immigration in this country. i think that s ultimately what people want. when you look at lamarr smith who said no way to amnesty and you look at others in the house and in the party, what is the compromise in the party. good luck bill is a compromise because it has
just flew through laguardia. harris: you heard a lot of language? sandra: that s a hellhole or whatever hole. but if you go back and you look at what the state department says about el salvador, it says if you re thinking about going, we advise you to reconsider going. because of the crime, because of all the terrible stuff going on. and while obviously you want to be careful if you re the president how you talk about these places, the bottom line remains what i think donald trump was clearly the point that he was making is are we going to have an immigration system that benefits america where we going to have an immigration system that is resulting in other people s problems? kennedy: we also have to have a question of the entitlement system and immigration system. if you have an open entitlement system and open immigration system which is what democrats want, you could bankrupt the country. if you have open immigration of people s motivation is not necessarily financial salvati
