this country illegally. the president promised to end daca all together. now sources tell us he s apparently come up with a compromise. we re live at the white house with details coming up. (woman) when you have type 2 diabetes, there s a moment of truth. and now with victoza®, a better moment of proof. victoza® lowers my a1c and blood sugar better than the leading branded pill, which didn t get me to my goal.
he needs it. he s got to look ahead. speaking of someone in politics and as a strategist, he has to look ahead. he s looking at the largest growing number of population right now the hispanic community. the republican party can t afford to alienate them right now. so yes, he s got to look ahead, look at the mid-terms and 2020. so yes, there s room there s wiggle room here. ed: sarah i want to point out that there s his base. but yous will have over 300 evangelical pastors sending a letter to the president and congress saying i can t preserve daca, please preserve daca. then you had over 350 business leaders, ceos from amazon to facebook to the arizona chamber of commerce to the colorado business roundtable, ceos everywhere saying please watch what please think about this. so you have your base but then you have other americans and conservative americans.
they ve been working hard on. it was introduced in july. if you attach a wall to the solution to legislate daca, you ll run into an issue. so i think you do one thing at a time. i d say i agree with you. the comprehensive immigration reform should have happened. should have happened under bush. the talk of the wall is so difficult, take the rhetoric up so high that it would make it difficult to have a bipartisan solution passed. on that point and i ll go back to rob and sarah. some of the president s advisers have told me that the pardon of joe arpaio may have been part of this. some people in his base may not have been happy. he s been so strong on arpaio that maybe there s wiggle room here. what do you think about that? there s wiggle room here and
congress and both parties for ending daybreak. right. especially among democrats. they ve called the consequences of ending the program disastrous. chris murphy from connecticut said your moment has come. show the courage and grace to save these children and our nation. paul ryan said he opposed the creation of daca as unconstitutional, but he s against president trump ending it without congress devising a solution. lindsey graham, another republican said i have always believed daca was a presidential overreach. but i equally understand the plight of the dream act kids for who all practical purposes no know other country than america. other republicans when with hurricane harvey relief, the debt ceiling and tax reform will congress address immigration. we have all of these promises that are unfulfilled that i think moving on to something that is controversial that a lot
conservatives by saying there was a fox news story out today that said itself this is going to cost our economy $3.4 billion because of the loss of 700,000 employed people being deported. so that s going to appeal to conservatives. then you have the gripping stories like we saw today from the houston chronicle that showed someone on daca that was saving flood victims and he died. so ed: robin, i m not denies what you re saying. i m agree with you there s heart-gripping stories. but if you care about the kids, you still haven t answered the question. where are the democrats saying we re going to pass a law to protect these kids? contrary to what you said, the president we still don t have his final statement. we ll see it tomorrow. but he seems to be saying yes, i m going to end daca but i m going to give you six months to fix it and codify it by law. he s not really throwing the kids out. right.
