BRZEZINSKI Joining us now ░░░░░░░░ of the lead negotiators ░░░░░░░░ And and he just ░░░░░░░░ BRZEZINSKI for the legislation ░░░░░░░░ Senator Chris Murphy of ░░░░░░░░ He s a member ░░░░░░░░ the Foreign Relations Committee ░░░░░░░░ senator I guess first ░░░░░░░░ all is this bill ░░░░░░░░ support on the Senate ░░░░░░░░ MURPHY No I think ░░░░░░░░ bill can and will ░░░░░░░░ the United States Senate ░░░░░░░░ I take Republicans at ░░░░░░░░ word Last fall when ░░░░░░░░ tried to pass legislation ░░░░░░░░ the Senate that would ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine that would stop ░░░░░░░░ Putin from winning this ░░░░░░░░ Republicans said no we ░░░░░░░░ t support Ukraine funding ░░░░░░░░ you come to a ░░░░░░░░ deal to try to ░░░░░░░░ control the border I ░░░░░░░░ skeptical of our ability ░░░░░░░░ do that because it ░░░░░░░░ been 40 years since ░░░░░░░░ ve passed bipartisan immigration ░░░░░░░░ border reform but we ░░░░░░░░ for the last four ░░░░░░░░ myself Senator Lankford a ░░░░░░░░ conservative Republican Senator Sinema ░░░░░░░░ we achieved that bipartisan ░░░░░░░░ And it s a ░░░░░░░░ compromise It does the ░░░░░░░░ you say reform is ░░░░░░░░ very broken asylum system ░░░░░░░░ it won t take ░░░░░░░░ years to process an ░░░░░░░░ claim people will get ░░░░░░░░ either let into the ░░░░░░░░ or remove from the ░░░░░░░░ within months It does ░░░░░░░░ the president this new ░░░░░░░░ authority to shut down ░░░░░░░░ of the border when ░░░░░░░░ get too high but ░░░░░░░░ also increases legal immigration ░░░░░░░░ that people can come ░░░░░░░░ to reunite with their ░░░░░░░░ or work for a ░░░░░░░░ of time And I ░░░░░░░░ believe that there are ░░░░░░░░ Republicans in the Senate ░░░░░░░░ are sincere about solving ░░░░░░░░ problem as opposed to ░░░░░░░░ who want chaos at ░░░░░░░░ border because Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ it is a good ░░░░░░░░ issue that we can ░░░░░░░░ this passed But we ░░░░░░░░ see we ll have ░░░░░░░░ vote in the next ░░░░░░░░ to three days to ░░░░░░░░ onto the bill and ░░░░░░░░ will tell us whether ░░░░░░░░ still have the support ░░░░░░░░ need or whether Donald ░░░░░░░░ has prevailed here.”
