so the entire conversation really is a nonstarter as relates to our powers to override the president s veto. sir, before i let you go, i want to let you listen to an exchange i had with tom holman. ice should be out there right now, nationwide operation, look for the family members that have had due process in front of a judge and ordered remove. they should ex-cute those orders. they don t mean if they don t carry them out. so round people up? for people that have due process. that s exactly what i m saying. the democrats have a right to claim asylum, see a judge. i agree. once you have seen the judge at great taxpayer expense, if that final order says you must go home, if that means nothing, if it s not executed, there s no integrity in the system. that s why they keep coming. no matter how the border issue is resolved, there s a big problem of immigration. how do we deal with the folks
and constitutional authority to do this. i know coming for my state of texas we pay a pretty steep price for this border. houston, where we live near, the number one human trafficking hub in the country. and we ve got in our state alone, just hours 80,000 underage kids in that state come in the trafficking area. we pay drug trafficking, gains, and violence we pay steep price. we think there is a real emergency in the border. harris: you saw that new york times article, people said, we pay with our bodies to turn come into this country. that was tough to read. i want to ask you, what is the discussion on the hill among republicans customer equity see situation that will set up the president s veto? while it s not ideal, republicans will sustain the president s veto. so he can make the commitment
small government conservative constitutionalist kind of guys. could conceivably also join paul and these other more moderate republicans in rebuking the president. but, again, this won t stop the fight here now, but it will show that there is major division and that the president has lost not one, but both houses of congress on this issue. that said, there is no likelihood of congress having the votes to override the president s veto. it s almost impossible to see. they need to pick up a few dozen votes in the house from republicans there. they need to pick up, let s say roughly 15, maybe more than what they re liable to get here on the first vote in the senate. it seems next to impossible. i mean, in this day and age, it s 2019, no one is saying anything is possible. i wouldn t hold my breath. thank you, garrett haake. tragedy in the south as tornadoes kill 23 people including children in alabama. the search is on right now for those unaccounted for as
resolution compels mitch mcconnell to schedule a vote on this. three of his republicans have indicated with conditions they ll cross over. one more and it passes. that would force the president s first veto. it would take a whole lot more republicans, and as we see it, a contiguous outbreak of profiles in courage to override the president s veto. peter baker and ab-stoddard remain with us here in d.c. a.b., what s on the minds of senate republicans these days and do you have any nominees for profiles in courage? well those not up in 2020. right. tom tillis came out from north carolina last night. he said he s going to have to go with the democrats to block the declaration. this is a very, very tough time for republicans. this is perhaps one of the worst jams the president has put them in. i talked to a member on the house side, a defector this morning, who said there is no way that we could he could live with the precedent-setting
