women trying to keep us safe on the border are desperate for more resources and they re going to start debating a full-scale plan when they re not just going to provide emergency relief? well, and, chris, we ve seen the president do this before, right? he will, you know, develop this whole new elaborate scheme, a whole new red herring, a whole new way of addressing something when he doesn t know really where to start. that s what this is really about. he doesn t know how to solve this other problem. he s assigned jared kushner, who is known for i mean, you can shake your head and that s fantastic, but the truth of the matter is simple, this bill or this these border principles, these immigration principles don t address the diversity visas. they want to eliminate them completely. these border principles don t deal with daca, which is also a crying shame and a crisis. this bill these principles, because there is still no bill, and they criticized aoc for doing the same thing,
the wall, is there any second thoughts about walking away from that? no, it is the opposite. the loudest and most influential voices in the white house now are on immigration are people who opposed that deal because they felt it was too forward leaning it would have given citizenship to too many people right now. i think it is an open question on where the president himself will end up on this. you know, he is someone who does see himself as a great deal maker. he s someone who also sees himself as needing to fulfill this promise on the border wall. mark will remember this from the campaign, i was always struck going to campaign rallies for trump that the people in the crowd whether they believed that trump would fulfill most of his promises or not, actually did largely believe in the immigration principles and trump understands the need to fulfill those promises for his base. so if he does see that there is
