thanks for joining us, i'm alison kosik. >> i'm dave briggs. "new day" starts right now. big week coming up. see you tomorrow. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day." it is tuesday, september 5th, 6:00 here in new york. chris is off today. john berman joins me. we have a big show. >> sure do. thanks. we have breaking news. north korea may be moving an intercontinental ballistic missile in preparation for another launch. this according to a south korean lawmaker briefed by their intelligence service. the new warning from north korea. the state department media there says they're threatening to blow up the u.s. mainland and "annihilate americans." president trump and south korea's president speaking for the first time since north korea's nuclear test over the weekend. sources say relations remain strained. meantime, russian president vladimir putin is warning that the military escalation could cause a global catastrophe and calls new sanctions on north

korea useless. u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nicky hall of famy insists that kim jong-un is begging -- nikki haley insists that kim jong-un is begging for war. this as the trump administration is set to announce the end congress returns from toy long to-do list and tight deadlines. we begin with will ripley live in tokyo. will, you just completed your 14th trip to north korea. there have been a flurry of developments in the last few hours. >> reporter: a lot of fast-moving developments here and things are not at the moment headed in the right direction, john. you have reports from south korea they are observing significant activity on the north side possibly rolling an icbm toward the north korean coast. this is a launch site that could send a missile on a trajectory over japan, where i am or it could send a missile south. kim jong-un threatened to launch missiles using the pacific as its new target specifically

perhaps the u.s. territory of guam. they haven't done so yet but they haven't ruled out that possibility. meanwhile the new remarks from russian president vladimir putin significant because later this week in fact tomorrow he is set to host an economic forum in vladivost vladivostok, russia, noticeably absent china and the u.s., setting the stage for putin to play the role of peacemaker and saying everything the north koreans want to hear, the swaition is headed toward a global catastrophe and sanctions are useless. so we have to watch closely the developments in russia and the developments in north korea. i want to read you also a statement from north korean state media just out within the last couple of hours it says "the great success of the hydrogen bomb test which stunned the world reflects the faith and will of the dphk army and people to blow up the u.s. mainland and annihilate the wolfish u.s. imperialists running amuck to cut off the lifeline of the

dprk." i know that sounds frightening for a lot of people in the united states but we need to keep this in context, this is the threat that north korea has made repeatedly for many years although never before have we seen a nuclear armed north korea this capable as they are right now. >> right, that is a troubling combination. will, thank you very much for the context. we'll check back with you momentarily. south korea conducting a second day of live fire drills at sea, vowing to "destroy and bury the north" if provoked. there are growing concerns president trump and south korea's president are not on the same page. paula hancocks is live in seoul with the latest. what do we know, paula? >> reporter: alisyn is live fire drill second in two days just as visual as the first one making sure they can send a strong message and a visual message to north korea. now this one had a 2,500-ton frigat guided missile boats and patrol boats. it was rather large.

it was being shown many photos of what happened. we expect footage at some point as well because south korea wants pyongyang to be able to see what they're doing. they're saying as you said in the intro there, wherever it is, on or under water if north korea provokes we will immediately destroy them and bury them at sea. this is coming from south korea now, we're seeing a much stronger language coming from the south koreans, the live fire drill on monday they said was aimed at destroying the enemy's leadership. we know donald trump the u.s. president has now spoken to the south korean president, for many here it took far too long for the phone call to come but they both agreed to strengthen joint military capabilities. we know that we're going to see further naval drills at the end of the week potentially one between the u.s. and south korea involving submarines but we haven't seen the show of force yet by the south koreans would

like to see. >> john berman here. kim jong-un is begging for war, what can the international community do to stop pyongyang's nuclear threat? cnn's barbara starr is at the pentagon. what is the view from there? >> good morning, john. they are watching all the messages very carefully on all fronts. the u.n. ambassador nikki haley making the case at the united nations, the time has come to press for all diplomatic options, all sanctions, but then she went on to sound a very ominous warning. >> his abusive use of missiles and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. war is never something the united states wants. we don't want it now, but our country's patience is not unlimited. >> president trump publicly staying quiet but making calls

to other leaders around the world, speaking to the german leader angela merkel again saying all options are on the table according to the white house. the president's day ahead, he may have the north korean situation come up time and again. he will meet with his national security advisers. he will have a daily intelligence briefing later in the day, and economic meeting, but so far, what we are all watching for is to see if the u.s. puts more assets, more troops, aircraft, ships in the region. so far, no announcements from the pentagon on that. john, alisyn? >> barbara, thank you for the update. we bring back will ripley and cnn military analyst retired major general james "spider" marks and great to have all of you. spider you're a military strategist and analyst. is there any military option for the u.s. here?

>> there are plenty military options. the use of force always remains vibrant. the coalition on the peninsula is ready. the multilayered air defense capabilities we have both in the region and internationally to protect the homeland exists. we've tested it. it works. is it perfect 24/7? we hope so, but i mean the tests demonstrate it's extremely capable, so the military option always exists, but because the potential outcome is so catastrophic, look, seoul would be punished. we would certainly see the devastation of a lot of the infrastructure in the south, and the regime up north, where we to go to war let's be very clear the regime in the north would cease to exist. the challenge with all of that is that china would be engaged militarily and we've been on this path before, from '50 to '53, the north koreans invaded in june in 1950.

the united states reclaimed the south peninsula, the southern part of the peninsula but we chose to go north of the 38th parallel, we saw what happened when that happened. the chinese got involved and it was a stalemate and it was horrible. we know what can occur on the peninsula. >> robin, you watched this region for a long time. the united states says it doesn't want north korea to have a nuclear weapon. they have one. they tested them several times. they keep getting more powerful. what is the goal here? what does the u.s. want out of this? >> i think that's one of the big questions. it's clear that the trump administration doesn't want north korea to go any further, doesn't want it to have the capability of deploying a nuclear weapon, have the warhead on top of a missile that it can target the united states. the question though beyond that is, what is our goal? is it to undermine and eventually remove the regime in pyongyang? is it to decapitate north koreans?

is it to try to see that the merger of the korean peninsula? the trump administration has not articulated for any of us what its long-term goal is. it's clear that the north koreans are not going to give up their nuclear program. the best question hope for is a freeze, and that will involve a lot of diplomacy, but to get there, you have to sit down with each other, and there's no indication yet that washington or pyongyang are willing to do that with an agenda that is at all realistic. diplomatic sanctions can do so much, but the ones that are the most punitive may actually unnerve the north koreans to the point that they accelerate their program even further or they move further in their testing so this is you know the options are clear in terms of what diplomatic or military, but what we don't know as well is what the ultimate goal is for the united states. >> so will, i mean look, for decades obviously the u.s. and south korea have been very close allies.

how has it deteriorated? how has this relationship deteriorated seemingly in just the past kind of weeks to this point? >> two words, donald trump. he has changed the game in this region and really according to many people that i'm speaking with on the ground here has left a real leadership vacuum that russia and vladimir putin by the way is more than happy to fill. this is the story we need to watch over the next onele of days this economic for numb vladivostok. vladimir putin will be there, a north korean del indication, moon jae-in is there, china is absent and of course the united states also not present at this and what putin is doing by putting out these statements today talking about an impending global catastrophe, comparing the situation in iraq today, sorry, comparing the situation in north korea today with iraq, under saddam hussein, the north koreans need to remember what happened to hussein, this is an argument i've heard in north korea before as well.

putin is saying all the things that north korea wants to hear so as wild as it may sound he may be trying to step into the role of peacemaker to negotiate some sort of deal or talk to the north koreans and serve as intermediary. xi jinping and kim jong-un have never spoken, there's a letter passed china is not happy about the impending icbm launch, xi is trying to consolidate his power in a matter of weeks. perhaps putin will be the one to strike a deal to fill that vacuum left by the trump administration. >> general if one of the goals of north korea has been to drive a wedge between the u.s. and its allies in the region, is this proof that it's working? some of the biggest pressure the white house has put on than

anyone on the world has been okay south korea after north korea's nuclear test. >> we've been down this path before, if you go back to 2000, when the south korean president kim dae-jung tried to achieve a level of appeasement and a reunification through diplomatic efforts. he went to pyongyang and won the nobel peace prize, spent billions of dollars and it went nowhere, so you understand that there's some legitimate skepticism in terms of where we think an agreement between seoul and pyongyang would go. what's different obviously fast forward 17-plus years, you now have a north korea that is acknowledged as a nuclear power, has an icbm capability, certainly can threaten internationally. so there's great reason to understand why there's got to be some discussion between washington and seoul that this path is not acceptable. >> so robin, that brings us to the u.n. and the emergency security council meeting yesterday. spider just laid out for us how

unpalatable any military option would be. diplomacy has to step up, but it's hard to know what path that's going to take, what happened with the u.n., and what do we think the next steps are. >> well, i suspect we'll see the introduction of resolutions that impose greater economic sanctions. i'm not sure that's going to have much effect. the question here in terms of diplomacy is how the international community comes together, and unfortunately donald trump has alienated the chinese. he's insulted xi jinping, the leader of the most powerful nation on the earth and treated him in many ways like he treats his own staff. he has a very tense relationship with angela merkel who is today the leader of not just the european community but in many ways the face of western democracies. he has a trade dispute he wants to pick with the south koreans. this is not a moment that is conducive to the kind of

collegial collaboration. they all face the stark realility of north korea's program and maybe they can come together, but fundamentally the chinese and the americans see very differently in terms what have they want for the korean peninsula. beijing and pyongyang may not get along very well, but the fact is they don't, china does not want to see the reunification of the korean peninsula, doesn't want to see the west, the korean peninsula on its borders become an ally of the west. north korea is a buffer zone for them. so see how this diplomacy comes together in the currented asphe aatmospherics is very hard. it will take a bigger spirit and greater unity for the world to have a successful round of negotiations that lead to a freeze of this program. it's clear we're not going to be able to roll it back, but we might be able to freeze it but we're going to have to move fast. >> panel, thank you very much for all of the expertise. meanwhile another big story that we're talking about today, president trump is expected to

end the protections for dreamers, the protection from being deported, that's expected to happen this morning. the president is punting the issue to congress. could this political hot potato cause another major rift between republicans? we discuss all the implications there, next. mark. experience a shift in the natural order. experience amazing.

and it protects them currently from being deported but that could change. the president is punting the fate of these hundreds of thousands of dreamers to congress. cnn's joe johns is live at the white house with more. what are we expecting, joe? >> alisyn, what to do about daca is a question the president has struggled with over weeks and months and today does appear to be decision day with the attorney general set to make the announcement at the briefing here in washington later this morning. sense of drama continues to hang over this, because sources have told cnn even this late in the process, the president could still change his mind. president trump taking to twitter monday night touting a big week ahead, a gross understatement considering the wide range of issues on the president's plate, starting with today's announcement on the so-called dreamers. he can expected to end the program protecting some 800,000

young undocumented immigrants from being deported. >> dreamers here to stay! dreamers here to stay! >> reporter: this possibility drawing backlash from both sides of the aisle. >> what i hope the president says tomorrow is that he supports the policy of the daca program, and wants congress to pass it in a lto law. >> to end the daca program is one of the most cruel and ugly decisions ever made in the modern history of this country by a president. >> but the president promised during the campaign that he would end protections for dreamers, attorneys general from ten states threatened to sue if trump does not announce repeal of the policy by today. sources tell cnn the president will punt the fate of dreamers to congress, delaying the enforcement for six months, so that lawmakers can pass legislation to address the status of those affected. >> there's a lot of republican support for a program like this. i'm not as pessimistic as some people. i think we can actually get this

done in the next six months. >> the "new york times" is reporting that president trump has asked aides for a way out, comparing trump's approach on dreamers to president obama's first promise as president to close guantanamo bay, which he was not able to accomplish. congress returns today to a daunting to do-do list with a limited time frame to get anything done. the most challenging task, pass a spending bill with or without a border wall, overhaul of the tax code the first in three decades, emergency funding for victims of hurricane harvey, a bill to raise the debt ceiling is expected and possibly another try at repealing obamacare. adding to the pressure only a dozen days left this month for congress to finish the legislative business in order to get a spending bill passed to keep the government open and operating. this afternoon we do expect to see the president meeting with key members of congress and his

administration to talk about taxes. >> joe johns at the white house thank you. we want to bring in john avlon, abbie philip and david drucker. assume he will tend daca six months from now, how he frames this is crucial. if this is framed today that the administration wants these 800,000 people to stay here legally and wants to get something done, thinks they should be here that's one thing. if jeff sessions goes out today and says they're illegal, they shouldn't be here, we're going to get rid of them that's something else. >> first of all he's punting twice, first to jeff sessions for the announcement and second to congress to try to get something done. jeff sessions is not the guy who is going to say we love the dreamers we want them to stay. but you're right, because if he's saying look we want congress to deal with this because the fundamental problem we believe is president obama

used an executive order and it should have been done legislatively that's saying there's going to be a receptive force reaction to it on capitol hill, republicans saying they want a way out of it but it sets the deadline and there's been doubled by the president and the government has the dreamers information and that sets up a terrible collision in six months' time. >> abbie, john called it double talk by the president. he's been all over the map in terms of how he feels about these dreamers and what he thinks their fate should be. let's remind people of the different things that he said. >> as an example you have people in this country for 20 years, they've done a great job, they've done wonderfully, they've gone to school, gotten good marks, they're productive. now we're supposed to send them out in the country, i don't believe in that michelle and you understand that. >> that was 2012. that was before donald trump was a poll significance. that might be the truest indication of how he feels, because once he started running for president, he said some

different things. here is this. >> we will immediately terminate president obama's two illegal executive amnesties in which he defied federal law and the constitution to give amnesty to approximately 5 million illegal immigrants. when somebody's terrific, we want them back here. >> should they have to leave, too? >> they have to be legally -- look t sounds cold and it sounds hard. we have a country, our country is going to hell. we have to have a system where people are legally in our country. we are going to deal with daca with heart. i have to deal with a lot of politicians don't forget and i have to convince them that what i'm saying is right, and i appreciate your understanding on that, but the daca situation is a very, very, it's a very difficult thing for me, because i love these kids. i love kids. >> abbie, safe to say he's

conflicted? >> yes, i mean i think is he genuinely conflicted but as those clips really illustrate, the strategy of making daca a scapegoat in the election was just that, it was an actual strategy. it was not by chance, not because he didn't understand the program. the reality of governing is much harder and republicans recognize getting rid of this program is not going to be popular. what i'm looking for in the next, today really and the next couple of days in terms of clarity from this administration is what happens to daca recipients in the interim, even if there is a six-month deadline you have to decide what to do with folks now. are they allowed to renew their status, keep their jobs? we're talking about nearly 1 million people who are, who have work permits who are employed, most of them, and who need some kind of certainty about what's going to happen in their lives, so yes, the president is uncertain but he had an

opportunity. he's the commander in chief. he can decide how he wants this to go, and it's very clear that this is an attempt for him to kind of push this off to someone else, to congress, to jeff sessions, as john said, so that he doesn't have to make the really hard decision. what exactly they end up doing to square that circle today is going to be really important because i think for all of these people there's a huge lack of certainty in the next six months even if there is a delay in ending the program. >> 800,000 people at least do not know where they will be in six months plus one day. they are being held hostage to an extent by congress. their future depends on congress getting something done and david drucker, if congress has a track record on getting something done, i haven't seen it. >> yes, it's not that great these days. look, clearly there's a human element here and we shouldn't minimize it. there's a political element that will help determine whether or not the daca kids and the daca

who are now daca adults will be dealt with in a fashion they'd prefer that would probably be best for the country, and it all gets back to how republicans are going to resolve this time around their inner conflict on immigration issues. they have at war with each other split for the past decade, and with president obama in office rightly or wrongly, politically it was very difficult for them to do anything on immigration as we saw with the dreamer legislation that was pushed by very top republicans. so this is very interesting, because if president trump, the biggest immigration hawk in town theoretically, if he says that we're canceling daca because of the constitutional questions and rule of law issues that i campaigned on but i'm not going to enforce it for six months to give congress a chance to do something, what he's saying theoretically aside from all of his rhetoric and everything that he would sign dreamer legislation and that becomes interesting because if president

trump, not president obama, if president trump is willing to sign this, does it make it easier for republicans in congress to take this tough vote and does it make it easier for them to work with democrats over the objections of republicans who are not going to support this to get a bill to his desk, that is why this is a really unique, interesting situation, even though i don't expect the president to go out of his way to push for this. >> john, last word. >> the prospect of trump pulling a nixon and china on immigration with comprehensive reform and daca is fascinating but that's the triumph of hope over experience the republicans are dead locked, this say deep civil war. people's lives as abby said almost 1 million folks lives in the balance and it could set up a terrible conflict from a civil liberty standpoint. >> with one bill it may be possible. >> must be a pony in here somewhere. >> we should keep in mind democrats are going to play a huge role if they're willing to accept something short of citizenship for the kid that will be important. you can get a lot of republicans

on board with a legal status, green cards, maybe something short of citizenship, not what all democrats want but that could be the key here to getting something done for these dreamers. >> it has to happen in the next six months. good luck with that. great to have you with us. a state of emergency declared in florida as powerful hurricane irma takes aim at the state. when will it hit? who is in harm's way? new developments in this storm. stay with us. usaa to me means peace of mind. we had a power outage for five days total. we lost a lot of food. we actually filed a claim with usaa to replace that spoiled food. and we really appreciated that. we're the webber family and we are usaa members for life.

cuba. that would certainly be a detriment to cuba, dangerous and probably terrible damage there but it would tear the storm up before making landfall in the u.s. >> chad, just any fear of people in the houston area for this one? >> sure. i mean it's not out of the question at all. the models do from when they get to florida, they start to turn to the right again. that could be a charley type scenario, that was punta gorda, i was there with anderson cooper and toward tampa. they could turn into parts of florida, we don't want to think about if it keeps going farther. hurricane is not out of the question for houston, but i would say the chance of that right now is like 2%. the chance of somewhere around florida is better than 50/50. >> keep an eye on it for us chad thank you. >> will do. russian president vladimir putin threatening to expel up to 155 more u.s. diplomats. the russian leader told reporters in china today that russia won't take action right

congress gets back to work today after their august recess, and they have a very ambitious agenda that keeps growing. funning the government, avoiding a shut yb down, hurricane home run spree relief, tax reform and deciding the fate of d.r.e.a.m.ers. what can they get done? let's bring back our panel. david drucker you are our resident congressional correspondent on this panel. what is going to happen today when they get back to work? >> to big deal, a couple of things on the to do list so you get back to work on wednesday, you're done by friday, right? >> right. >> it's clearly this is a tall order for republicans. they're trying to reform the tax code for the first time in 30 years. they've got a debt ceiling to raise and for the past half a dozen years every time they've tried to do that it's almost been like a total fiscal

catastrophe and on top of that they have harvey relief to deal with and a government funding deadline and let's not forget and we might have just because the hurricane was such an overpowering news story but republicans spent all summer at war with each other. president trump was fighting with republicans on the hill, the trust, the breakdown in trust between the two sides was worse than anything i've ever seen, and that could make it very hard for republicans to agree with each other on how to get these things done and make no mistake here, whether or not republicans can accomplish things is going to be about whether or not they can first agree with each other, and then where democrats are relevant in government funding and the debt ceiling are where democrats are very relevant. are they going to be able to work with democrats and oh, i left out the part about the president wanting money for his border wall, democrats not wanting to give an inch there, and so it's going to be a very interesting september. the stakes are high, and the republicans since the president

took office and even before have not shown that they are able to do a lot of these things on a high wire act, even if we're just talking one of them, let alone the list i just ticked off. >> the very first words out of david drucker's mouth were no big deal. this is the art of the deal. president who as far as i can tell really hasn't made very many deals at all and now he's got this menu, this list of things that needs to get done, abby. has he shown any ability to work washington the way it needs to be worked to make progress? >> no. really not at all. one of the interesting things is just the resistance to understanding how washington works, and how deals get made here and you know, david really pointed out something that i think is probably going to be the dominant force as we go into this week and the following week, the relationship or lack thereof between donald trump and mitch mcconnell is a really, really big deal. between of two of them mitch

mcconnell is the person who knows how to make legislation happen in washington, and trust -- trump does not trust him at least not yet so if they're going to get anything done they have to repair that first and foremost, they have to get on the same page about what they want to get done, they have to decide what the framework is going to look like for tax reform, what are we going to bundle together, are we going to bundle the border wall, and the d.r.e.a.m.ers, are they going to bundle the hurricane funding for the government, these are important decisions about strategy and tactics that need to be made between the leaders of both chambers in congress and the president and trump is the one who has to come to the table here. the breakdown in that relationship is in part because of his frustration with mitch mcconnell maybe not getting health care done but at some point they have to put that stuff aside if they want to make progress on things that absolutely have to get done before the end of this year. >> go ahead, john.

>> look, they're in a marriage of convenience, no trust, bad blood and the president keeps adding to it. >> hold on, we're going to see it at 4:00 p.m. today. so the president is meeting with speaker ryan and mitch mcconnell today. >> their game faces will be on presumably the democrats and republicans and it's a glimmer of what might have been if the president pursued the art of the deal and for example led with infrastructure, tried to forge bipartisan coalitions but he hasn't. he's played to his base and attacked his own party in congress and the to do-list is serious and nose saerl the most urgent things will dominate, harvey funding, trying to avoid a government shutdown with unified control of washington and something the markets are depending upon which is tax reform. that seems highly theoretical and difficult in face of the nonoptional things they need to face. >> no ambassador to south korea which is important given what's happening there and one word we didn't mention looking at the

list what have congress is doing this fall is russia. lot of folks in congress are concentrating on russia right now in these investigations and these committees, the intelligence committees in both chambers have a lot of work to do this fall. >> they do and the senate will have nominations to process so there is just a lot on congress's plate here, dealing with a party leader in the president that as abby mentioned number one has not figured out how to work a deal in washington. it's not like working a deal in business. everything is interconnected. it's not totally rational and on top of that, he keeps treating the republicans his party as though he's not really of them, and if he's not really invested with them, it makes it hard for them, they're always looking over their shoulders at the next election rightly or wrongly. they're on the ballot in 2018, he isn't and it makes it hard to take tough votes if he doesn't feel like he's invested with them and i think that's part of the problem and if the president wants better results he is going to need to change how he relates

to his allies on the hill. >> off to the races today. >> he'll have the opportunity in a few hours. panel, thank you very much. >> president trump is expected to announce he's ending protection for d.r.e.a.m.ers but one republican lawmaker says he has a plan to keep young undocumented immigrants from being deported. he joins us next to explain. at whole foods market, we believe in food that's naturally beautiful, fresh and nutritious. so there are no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives in any of the food we sell. we believe in real food. whole foods market.

the trump administration is expected to announce today that it will end the obama era program that protects d.r.e.a.m.ers from being deported but the president is punting to congress for a legislative fix. joining us now is republican congressman carlos querbella of florida, he introduced legislation in march to protect d.r.e.a.m.ers. thanks so much for being here. you're trying to stop the end of daca or the d.r.e.a.m.er protection program. why do you feel so strongly

about this issue? >> alisyn these young people are america's children which is why the legislation i introduced is called recognizing america's children, young people who went to school with our own children, they are working in this country, contributing to this country, they speak english. this is the only country many of them remember, so we should afford them as long as they're willing to be productive members of society, with i most of them are, we should afford them the opportunity to be fully recognized as americans, and to gain legal status in this country. that is why republicans and democrats in the house and in the senate are coming together in favor of a permanent solution for these young people, which we know as d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> let's talk about whether or not, i mean i like your optimism, let's talk about how realistic it is republicans and democrats are coming together. you're tasked with finding a solution in six months. you have a ticking clock to find a solution otherwise the 800,000 young people's fates are in

limbo. here is your legislation, here are some of the highlights of it, just so that we can put it up for our viewers. you say the recognizing america's children act you along with 17 other gop colleagues sponsors say it would be a path to legal status through higher education, service in the armed forces, and work authorization. so meaning they would be able to achieve citizenship if they did those things? >> eventually. at first they would be granted conditional legal permanent resident status for five years. we would make sure that they are working towards these goals, whether it's employment, higher education, or service in the military, and after that point, they would receive permanent legal status, a green card and of course once you have a green card in this country, you could on your own go and pursue a citizenship. the key is, alisyn, that these are america's children.

we had a few weeks ago the president standing with senators cotton and perdue calling for culturally competentent immigrants who speak english. we already have them. they're called d.r.e.a.m.ers. there are about 800,000 to a million of them in this country and now it's congress' turn to solve this problem. whatever the president announces today, it's pretty clear that after today, the spotlight, the attention will turn toward congress, and we should rise to the occasion. that's why i'm calling on republican leadership in both chambers not just to support keeping daca in place, which seems unlikely, but to help advance a legislative solution like the raac act, recognizing america's children or soerts. i'm one of the members of congress that thinks compromise is a good word, not a bad word as our framers taught us when they established our constitution. if there's a compromise to be

had i will be at the table trying to get to yes. >> let's talk about what the compromise might look like. what if in order to appease some of your more conservative members a compromise no deportation for the 800,000 but no chance of citizenship. >> well, we are going to fight hard for permanent legal status that will lead to citizenship. why? because as i said before, these are america's children. these are american kids. >> right but that's not a compromise you'd be willing to do? >> i'm not coming on the show and say exactly what i would or wouldn't do because i would make it harder for this legislation to move forward. the priority for me is to make sure we take care of these young americans, and the nature of compromises means that some of us will have to support some things that perhaps we're not as comfortable with. i'm not discarding anything and not guaranteeing i'll support any specific compromise but what

more members of congress need to do is be willing to sit at the table and seek that compromise. >> quickly, for your legislation, for your suggestion, how many people, how many members do you think you can get on board? what do you think the chances are for yours? >> well, we already have 18 republicans, many more have called in recent days asking questions, interested in perhaps joining our cause, helping to advance this issue, looking for that potential compromise. so i'm very confident that we can get a very strong vote out of the house. i think a majority of republicans would definitely be in support of keeping these young people in our country. the final solution exactly what it looks like i think we'll have to work on. right now i'm feeling confident. >> congressman, thank you for being on. take care of yourself. we know irma is headed in your direction. it looks sunny now but we know miami could be in the eye of the storm. >> we're watching closely, alisyn, thank you very much.
