for a democratic house to pass a budget? >> i think we have to talk about this in honest terms. donald trump said mexico is going to pay for the wall. we should not be having a debate about how much american taxpayers are going to pay for a wall that donald trump promised mexico with a payer to. that's first. second, i think that border security and building a stupid wall are two different things. democrats have long been supporters of increased border security. that was a big part the 2013 immigration bill that did not become the law. so it would be a nice thing to go back to that piece of legislation and maybe pick some things that would enhance border security. i think democrats absolutely would get behind that. but they are not going to support billions of dollars of funding for a stupid wall. >> were you encouraged by the president's tweet where he said he has the large group coming to the white house for lunch to discuss border security. there was no mention of a wall. >> maybe.
