Politically, from that statement, this white house thinks and well see whether theyre right or not, they can weather the political storm from a Government Shutdown by saying were not negotiating until schumer backs down. They think inside the white house from my conversations with senior officials there, that Chuck Schumer overplayed his hand on daca and they are going to push back here and say we gave you six years of an extension, a long time for Childrens Health insurance, a program, chip as its known that, democrats said they had to have. The president gave on that. Said hes willing to work on daca. The bottom line is, this white house is taking a very hard line in these negotiations. Shannon sounds like it from that statement.

stands for them. and when our friends across the aisle remember who it is they actually represent we ll be ready to come together in a bipartisan discussion that will be necessary to clean up all of this mess. we ve all been having private conversations on the floor, almost everybody on both sides doesn t understand how we ended up here. because most of the stuff we agree on. only one reason we ended up here, the shoe horning of illegal immigration into this debate. now, having said that, there is a lot of sympathy in this body for doing something about the daca kids. it s not like nobody is interested in that. we ve been talking about it for three months.
