complete building part of this wall structure that the president wants. there was a deal on the table that both sides, democrats and republicans in the house and the senate, agreed to. everyone must remember the president is solely responsible for this shutdown. he ripped up the deal. democrats have consistently passed spending deals. the republicans could put a bill to the floor and press the president s hand to get the government operating tomorrow. senate republicans are now letting this president bypass the legislative branch. it was a $5.6 billion ran some note. first, we ll ask two members of congress if this latest trump proposal on the border changes their mind. we ll be right back.
zero. would you like to see her budge a bit on that? do you think this can end if leadership doesn t? let me just be careful in analyzing what nancy has said. she said she is opposed to the wall as the president portrayed it to the american people over and over again. nancy would acknowledge that we have put restrictions on what the department of homeland security can build. they have been building 60 to 80 miles a year of fences and barriers with those restrictions. i certainly wasn t blessing any type of a wall structure that the president talked about in his campaign. nancy hasn t either. let me ask you about the state of the union. we heard from the department of homeland security yesterday saying they have the resources to keep the state of the union safe. is this position from the democrats?
manufactured crisis we see from republicans all is happening because donald trump campaigned that mexico is going to pay for some wall structure and it was red rhetoric to the base. and now federal workers and his staff are getting pay raises and government workers may not be able to feed their families because of keep in mind, the last continuing resolution. the democrats the last continuing resolution to the president and twitter roast me because of it. neil: no, we will. 1.4 billion dollars for border wall security, whatever i wants to do with it. less than 10% of the money is spent. so here we are shutting down the federal government asking for additional. the government funding. but react to this. listen, i m trying to get you to react to this. the president just tweeted the democrats want billions of dollars for foreign aid, but
transform this area. it s a win-win situation for everybody. this area right here, we do not see ms-13, we do not see criminal aliens coming in to this area because of the capability that we have through this combination of personnel, technology and infrastructure. griff: the combination is wall structure, along with the manpower of the overwalked border patrol agents doing such a good job here and technology of cameras and infrared scopes. here is the thing in fiscal year 2017, of all of the family units alone that were apprehended and there were more than 49,000 in this area alone. only 1.4% have been deported to date. you add this 7,000 strong caravan they get here they came asylum. they are going to be released there is nowhere to put them. in chief padilla says if this caravan comes and let loose in this country more and more will come. this is a serious problem.
some of what the chief had to say, specifically about his evolution on the wall and kelly said that the president has evolved on what he thought about the wall and different than in the campaign. i don t think what he said was much different than what they have been saying up on capitol hill, that the dhs secretary, others saying it will be a combination of things, of actual wall structure, fencing, and invisible wall. but how it came off apparently has not sat well with the president. sandra: perhaps some of the words he took issue with not only did he say the president s views on the wall have evolved but he said his original positions were not fully informed. yeah. that was i was reading from the washington post quotes of his meeting with the hispanic caucus up on capitol hill yesterday and he essentially
