covered? i m not a constitutional expert but i think we close the loopholes we would stop it from happening. the lawsuit against president trump. six kids are in it. number of honduran nationals saying what the president said in part, mentioning our show, the legal problem with the terms plan to stop caravans of persons from entering the country that seek asylum, and goes on to say that trump simply cannot stop them from legally doing so or using the military or anyone. you can t make this up. this is an example of people take advantage of the weaknesses in our laws that we in congress need to fix. my bill, which you also very strongly supported often called the goodlatte bill. we work hard to close these loopholes to make sure that people couldn t show up and demand to be in our country and be released into the interior of the united states. this is happening every single day in arizona. hundreds of many caravans are taking advantage of this. and now they are trying to sue the p
minutes and he s going to continue meetings through the rest of the week with a few other candidates. can you comment on the cbs report today that judges cavanaugh and barrett are now at the top of his list? i m not going to get into anymore of the process other what the president said. the president wrote on twitter, house republicans should pass the strong but fair immigration bill known as goodlatte bill. sunday he wrote on twitter, i never pushed the republicans in the house to vote for goodlatte one or two. why would the president lie about that? he didn t. he talked all along, we laid out the priorities and the principles that we support, that we wanted to see reflected in legislation. at the same time, the president wasn t aggressively bobbying members because he knew that democrats in the senate were unwilling to come to the table and focus on solutions rather than playing political games. we could have gotten it through

more on our exclusive interview. let s talk immigration. your bill failed last week. where do we go from here? last week we made a lot of progress. it wasn t expected to do as well as it did. 20 votes short of what was needed. that actually caused a lot of members in a conference we held shortly after that vote to say hey, if you took some from that bill and added them to the new bill maybe we had something we could get 218 votes for and passed. we worked over the weekend to come up new ideas which we are in the process now of vetting. it s my hope that these will lead us to take up that second bill with an amendment that will add some important provisions.
