RUSH TRANSCRIPT Martha So ░░░░░░░░ tonight the White House ░░░░░░░░ released its proposal to ░░░░░░░░ the immigration issue The ░░░░░░░░ a pathway to citizenship ░░░░░░░░ nearly 2 million young ░░░░░░░░ That s more than ░░░░░░░░ the number of dreamers ░░░░░░░░ in the DACA program ░░░░░░░░ last fall and the ░░░░░░░░ fund for the border ░░░░░░░░ system and ends the ░░░░░░░░ lottery program and eliminates ░░░░░░░░ extended family chain migration ░░░░░░░░ limiting family sponsorship to ░░░░░░░░ and children We have ░░░░░░░░ Fox News contributor and ░░░░░░░░ director for the center ░░░░░░░░ American progress action fund ░░░░░░░░ Democratic strategist It looks ░░░░░░░░ there s something in ░░░░░░░░ for both sides President ░░░░░░░░ cause the chaos and ░░░░░░░░ he has massive compassion ░░░░░░░░ the young people Martha ░░░░░░░░ m asking you to ░░░░░░░░ to the four things ░░░░░░░░ Have you double the ░░░░░░░░ of dreamers being allowed ░░░░░░░░ stay in the country ░░░░░░░░ would think you would ░░░░░░░░ jumping up and down ░░░░░░░░ that And that piece ░░░░░░░░ actually great It s ░░░░░░░░ that people from both ░░░░░░░░ of the aisle want ░░░░░░░░ So what piece don ░░░░░░░░ you like I don ░░░░░░░░ like basically every other ░░░░░░░░ If he s putting ░░░░░░░░ 25 million for border ░░░░░░░░ what happened to Mexico ░░░░░░░░ for that Martha Billion ░░░░░░░░ don t want a ░░░░░░░░ border Most Democrats have ░░░░░░░░ voting in favor of ░░░░░░░░ secure southern border and ░░░░░░░░ along those lines for ░░░░░░░░ and years but you ░░░░░░░░ t want that No ░░░░░░░░ are saying it can ░░░░░░░░ on the table even ░░░░░░░░ are saying it s ░░░░░░░░ than twice what s ░░░░░░░░ necessary It s a ░░░░░░░░ list of going after ░░░░░░░░ reunification programs and end ░░░░░░░░ limiting our program so ░░░░░░░░ it would take us ░░░░░░░░ tie time where we ░░░░░░░░ picking on race and ░░░░░░░░ Martha I would say ░░░░░░░░ White House may have ░░░░░░░░ they were coffering an ░░░░░░░░ to get together if ░░░░░░░░ represent the Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ means no THIESSEN Then ░░░░░░░░ means the Democrats don ░░░░░░░░ want a deal What ░░░░░░░░ Trump did today compare ░░░░░░░░ two sides Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ offered a path to ░░░░░░░░ for 1 8 million ░░░░░░░░ That s double the ░░░░░░░░ population That includes not ░░░░░░░░ the people who apply ░░░░░░░░ DACA and anyone eligible ░░░░░░░░ not just legalization but ░░░░░░░░ path to citizenship That ░░░░░░░░ his base uncomfortable but ░░░░░░░░ willing to go on ░░░░░░░░ limb and do that ░░░░░░░░ is leadership You compare ░░░░░░░░ to what Chuck Schumer ░░░░░░░░ this week he announced ░░░░░░░░ nor the for the ░░░░░░░░ is off the table ░░░░░░░░ you one side trying ░░░░░░░░ reach a deal and ░░░░░░░░ reasonable and the other ░░░░░░░░ in complete tailspin because ░░░░░░░░ re base is in ░░░░░░░░ uproar for the stupid ░░░░░░░░ shutdown Martha Based on ░░░░░░░░ we saw the past ░░░░░░░░ days Emily I think ░░░░░░░░ could be right It ░░░░░░░░ like the president is ░░░░░░░░ very hard in the ░░░░░░░░ that is going to ░░░░░░░░ off 38 of the ░░░░░░░░ who support him and ░░░░░░░░ base He s putting ░░░░░░░░ out there If Democrats ░░░░░░░░ t meet him it ░░░░░░░░ look like they re ░░░░░░░░ interested involving the dreamer ░░░░░░░░ 72 of Republicans supporting ░░░░░░░░ pathway for dreamers is ░░░░░░░░ pissing off a large ░░░░░░░░ of his base and ░░░░░░░░ on the table what ░░░░░░░░ been out there is ░░░░░░░░ and wall It s ░░░░░░░░ by conservative Republican senators ░░░░░░░░ Mike Lee and they ░░░░░░░░ saying that s a ░░░░░░░░ deal I don t ░░░░░░░░ why the White House ░░░░░░░░ to throw that out ░░░░░░░░ come back with something ░░░░░░░░ and frame it as ░░░░░░░░ people would come to ░░░░░░░░ table on Martha What ░░░░░░░░ m reading between the ░░░░░░░░ is your major problem ░░░░░░░░ the amount of money ░░░░░░░░ border security Is that ░░░░░░░░ you d like to ░░░░░░░░ changed I think that ░░░░░░░░ one piece I think ░░░░░░░░ s the overhaul of ░░░░░░░░ immigration that s the ░░░░░░░░ We re limiting immigration ░░░░░░░░ cannot be brought back ░░░░░░░░ That s a huge ░░░░░░░░ These are core Americans ░░░░░░░░ Spouses and children are ░░░░░░░░ Go ahead mark That ░░░░░░░░ correct It s limiting ░░░░░░░░ migration to the nuclear ░░░░░░░░ Most the reforms Emily ░░░░░░░░ upset about have bipartisan ░░░░░░░░ and we need a ░░░░░░░░ that is driven by ░░░░░░░░ needs of our country ░░░░░░░░ not just chain migration ░░░░░░░░ reality is look if ░░░░░░░░ think 25 billion is ░░░░░░░░ much for 1 8 ░░░░░░░░ people okay we ll ░░░░░░░░ you that but let ░░░░░░░░ talk about comprehensive immigration ░░░░░░░░ The way Emily s ░░░░░░░░ this and the way ░░░░░░░░ Schumer s behaving it ░░░░░░░░ like they don t ░░░░░░░░ a deal And Donald ░░░░░░░░ is willing to solve ░░░░░░░░ issue Martha Emily I ░░░░░░░░ not really sure coming ░░░░░░░░ with the idea they ░░░░░░░░ not coming to the ░░░░░░░░ It s such a ░░░░░░░░ issue it s unclear ░░░░░░░░ me why the terms ░░░░░░░░ the deal keep changing ░░░░░░░░ if you re guessing ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump would be ░░░░░░░░ has been incredibly unclear ░░░░░░░░ there s a moral ░░░░░░░░ then take care of ░░░░░░░░ dreamers Don t put ░░░░░░░░ a wish list from ░░░░░░░░ piece of the administration ░░░░░░░░ Good to see you.
