But the question is what should the composition of legal immigrants be, should it be chain migration or more skill merit based, that seems to be where the contention is. that s where the fight is right now. kelly: it appears to be that way. as kevin cork pointed out in his report he talked about bob goodlatte s proposal and in that it talked about those things you just talked about the temporary legal status for the daca recipients which would be the dreamers ending chain migration and of course building that border wall. when you look at it on the surface, it appears that that s the same thing that the senate was trying to do this past week and failed four times bringing it up for a vote. so where s the bone of contention? how do you get this over the hurdle, through the goal post? yeah, i don t see that one getting over the hurdle. i mean i think it is even more to the right than the grassley bill that failed in the senate. ....
It does less for it s temporary for the dreamers. it doesn t make a permanent path to be renewable. i think that s a nonstarter in the senate. maybe there s a stopgap measure. if you remember, before the president had his four pillars that must be in this bill, he had that publicly televised immigration meeting with members of both parties, and he said just get me a bill, and i will sign it. kelly: exactly. we will have a two track system. we will do the first track that deals with the daca. then we will deal with all the other issues like legal immigration. it seems like he s moved from that position that you have to have all four pillars hit in these bills. so perhaps he moves back and there s some sort of compromise bill that gives him, you know, some money for the border wall in terms for the dreamers. you know, as you mentioned that failed in the senate. caught up in the middle would be the dreamers, 1.8 million that the president said he wanted to give a pathway to citizens ....
Job in this particular case, to see what is there and what is not there. he s been very, you know, close to the vest, every time he has an indictment, no one in the press really knew what was coming. he knows things that we do not. i would say take a step back, let s see what he lays out, and not go to your partisan quarters that trump is definitely guilty or he s definitely innocent. let the investigation play out. jamie, well said because it has to play out. it is not over yet from the special counsel robert mueller. thank you. we will have a lot more with jamie weinstein by the way as we look at what s next on the immigration issue. the debate now moving to the house after several measures fell short in the senate. we will look at the potential path forward and whether lawmakers can reach a deal before the march 5th deadline on daca. that s coming up at the bottom of the hour. the fbi under pressure after a stunning admission. the agency confirming yesterday that it failed to fo ....
Let s bring back jamie weinstein right now, host of the jamie weinstein show pod cast and national review on-line and founding partner at jmw strategies. let s talk about this issue called immigration. the first question i got to ask you, jamie, now that people are at home with their constituents, representatives what do they have to show their constituents in terms of what they are doing about daca and immigration? it depends on the different bases that are out there. in some extent, it seems like some of these bases just want to continue to fight unless they get 100% of what their particular sides are asking for. what s interesting right here is it seems that the contention right now is not on illegal immigration. there seems to be some sort of bipartisan consensus to legal liz 1.8 million legalize 1.8 million dreamers that was moving from a compromise on the president s side. there seems to be some sort of compromise on the democrat on some sort of border wall. ....
Kelly: meantime, the white house apparently not backing off its four pillar immigration plan even though a similar proposal earned only 39 votes in the senate. the president set a deadline for six months and it seems that congress basically sat on their hands for the first four months of that because they didn t want to act. fundamentally the senate needs to act on a bill to protect these daca recipients and protect our southern border. that s only in the grassley bill. kelly: kevin cork is a reporter from west palm beach near president trump s mar-a-lago resort. he s joining us now. good to see you. good to see you. obviously the immigration debate is a very important one down here in south florida where the president is this weekend. in fact he used it to great effectiveness during the campaign but it is also something he has learned has proven to be a much tougher sell on capitol hill. you mentioned the proposal. i want to share for folks at home what s in that. i think you will ....
