this framework will fulfill the four agreed upon pillars, securing the border and closing legal loopholes, ending extended family chain migration. canceling the visa lottery and providing a permanent solution on dax ca daca. after decades of inaction by congress it s time we work together to solve this issue once and for all. steve: the white house yesterday released a sweeping immigration plan offering a pathway to citizenship for dreamers and big money for the border wall. here for reaction, national border patrol counsel vice president joins us today from do you son-in-law. art, good morning tyou tucso. what do you think of the white house framework on immigration? you know, a lot was done in 86 the immigration reform act that it opened up an amnesty. but they didn t cover the proper loopholes when it came to border security.
executive fee at. we had with us the vice president of the border patrol council arturaa joins us from tucson. he likes this proposal. the big issue and the fantastic thing about this president is that he has seen the mistakes of the past and is he doing everything that he can to correct them. moving forward, he is trying not to make those same mistakes. obviously putting border security at the front. ainsley: and he is willing to negotiate. that s what everybody is missing here. the democrats are whining because they just don t want daca and don t want anything else. it s give and take and negotiate. steve: the white house has sweetened the pot. because by expanding 800,000 to 1.8 million, it s like hey, that s a pretty good deal for us. right? pete: if elizabeth warren doesn t like it and steven miller and tom cotton and jim jordan in the program it if he like this it s a pretty good opening bid. ainsley: have to make sure
most americans try to be fair and try to understand both sides of the story. democrats want one thing. republicans want something else. this is called negotiating. but what it looks like to me when you hear nancy pelosi or hear these democrats, they are whining about the crumbs, these bonuses are crumbs. they are saying well, these bonus checks are getting taxed. well, guess what? that s because you all like the taxes. and you have implemented all these taxes. but it s extra money for americans that are hurting that need to pay bills that are in debt. so they are whining about that. they are whining about this. it s called negotiation. it s called art of the deal. democrats get something. republicans get something else. and everyone should be happy. pete: that s true. it s going to be sticky though when you here pathway to citizenship and hear amnesty and a lot of the president s supportser are going to be frustrated if that becomes part of the deal. there is give and take in this proc
u.s. what do you think about that? i mean it, goes back to my original statement. the big issue and the fantastic thing about this president is that he has seen the mistakes of the past and he is doing everything that he can to correct them. moving forward, is he trying not to make those same mistakes. obviously putting border security at the front. steve: right. art, how frustrating has he it been for the men and women on the front line at border patrol? for instance, during the last administration we had heard some stories about how, you know, there was not a lot of enforcement of that border. people got across, we will arrest you. we ll give you a ticket. go ahead, come back to court in three months and you never saw them again. you know, it was very frustrating. slowly things are changing. i think this president is doing a fantastic job to affect that change. unfortunately in some areas we still have. so obama holdovers that are sited in there and they
don t want to allow some of this change to happen. i think with this new administration and president trump at the forefront, there are changes that are being made that were very necessary and we are very grateful for that. steve: there you go. the president has told mitch mcconnell if he could get that bill through he would sign it let s see what happens. art, thank you for joining us today from tucson. thank you. steve: you bet. what do you think about that? email us friends@foxnews.com. you remember this guy. he is an illegal and admitted cop killer who says he wants to kill more. you know what? he is not done. his latest court outburst coming up. plus democrats like bernie sanders love to pay into the single payer healthcare system. what s so good about waiting 22 weeks to see a doctor? let s talk to dr. nicole saphier. she is making a house call.
