Agents and the president agrees to support a path to legal status? Is there a possibility for the two sides, even on an issue like immigration to come together? Money for the wall but also a path to citizen ship?" 
PELSOI: "No." 
KARL: "No?" 
PELSOI: "No." 
KARL: "You wouldn’t even —" 
PELSOI: "We had a bipartisan bill out of the United States Senate."

PELSOI: "It didn’t fail. The House Republicans failed to bring it up. It would have won had they brought it up. It did not lk law. We don’t have to pay for us to do the right thing as a country and overwhelmingly, the American people support a path to citizenship. For the people who are in our country. We have to protect our borders. That is our responsibility as a nation. No offense."
