the corporate profits they re going to get, and a percentage has to go to wages. why not do a hardline negotiation? lectionsave consequences, and the fact is they don t control either chamber of the congress. but they need 60 on this. they do. a lot of rick santorum folks don t like the idea of providing amnesty. 70% plus of republicans in a poll. it s not reflective of what the mood is among members of congress. i think what members of congress want and have wanted, unless we have enforcement, unless we control our borders, unless we control our visa programs, we have visa overstays which are half of the people here illegally. that s true. tell that to all the people who say we re a wall away.
there are a lot of rick santorum like folks who don t like the idea of providing amnesty. 70% plus of republicans in a poll. i understand that s the polling. but it s not necessarily reflective of what the mood is among members of congress. i think what members of congress entente have wanted, and have been very clear about this, unless we have enforcement, unless we control our borders, unless we control our visa programs, we have visa overstays which are half of the people here illegally. that s true. tell that to all the people who say we re a wall away. it s not just the wall. we re short on time. that s all we re hearing. final point, ben. i got to wrap. how quickly we forget. all three of us probably have ancestors that came through ellis island. and frankly, we know what the the slur wop stands for.
ambiguity here and maybe it s on purpose, josh. all of a you had is entalking about border security rather than the mexico is going to pay for it. so what does border security mean? everyone can agree on that. is it a wall? is it fixing existing fencing? what does that mean right now in terms of getting something done by a deadline with congress? i don t know the answer to that. do you know the answer to that? look. interpret for us, please. a wall clearly has symbolic value to the president and supporters and a whole lot of americans. the question is what does that wall look like? we saw a whole bunch of options for the president to choose. but also additional border security thing. also things like the chain migration and merit based visa programs and things that the president has spent a lot of time talking about. i think all of that has to be in the discussion. i think that s what he wants to do here. but i think where he s frustrated is every time he

migration situation. chain migration situation. yes. brian: as homeland security secretary, what s your role in that? i think it s a couple things. i think we need to look at all of our visa programs and ensure first of all that they meet all the requirements that congress meant for them to meet. we have a lot of fraud and abuse which decreases the ability of the people who need to come as part of that visa program to come. i think it also just demonstrated that one bad apple, if you will, can cause a lot of problems. very lucky there was no fatalities. we have got to increase vetting for everyone coming into this country is really what i take away from that. brian: the president wants the lottery addressed and chain migration addressed. that s what they say the big thing is 70% of people who come here are coming off a chain migration situation. steve: i think i saw one stat that saw that last rather in 2017, of the 12,000 visas granted, 99% of them came through chain migration.
