rapidly turned on. so we are happy have -- happy with that. >> and what about the wall? >> right now, we are renovating massive sections of the wall and making it brand-new and doing a lot of renovations, and building four different samples of the wall to see which one we want to choose, and the wall going to be built. it is will be funded later. >> and what about daca right now? is. >> well, wasn't to get the massive border security, and i think that both nancy pe llosi d chuck schumer agree wit, but so we have met last night as you know with schumer and pelosi and a whole group. we are fairly close, but we have to get massive border security. >> and can you tell us -- >> yeah, he is on board. mitch is on board and paul ryan is on board, and we all feel, look, 92% of the people agree on
3:41 pm
3:42 pm
questions? [ laughter ] >> mr. speaker, you asked the president to at least check with you before he make an agreement with the democrats? lau[ laughter ] >>er first off, there is no agreement. the president and the chief of staff called me from air force one today to discuss what was discussed and it was a discussion and not an agreement or negotiation. let me say a couple of things and i will say the same thing that i have been saying for weeks. and the president and i have been talking about this for week wee weeks. you cannot fix daca without fixing the root cause of the problems, we do not ohave control of the borders. so we need border security and enfor enforcement as hi part of any agreement. that is something that the democrats are beginning to understand and agree with. i said it as much to the democratic colleagues here in the house just yesterday, but we
3:43 pm
have not begun negotiation, and we are talking among ourselves here in the majority to make sure that we are all on the same page ourselves before we proceed on these things, and it is right and proper for the president to talk with the other party, and these are discussions and not ne goesch ation, and there is not n agreement and i want to make it clear over and over again. if we don't fix the problems that we have with border security and enforcement, and we would only fix daca, we will have another daca problem a decade from now and that is the symptom of the problem, and fix both. people are beginning to understand that the position has not changed and it is going to be staying the same and more people understand this. it is total common sense and fix the root cause of the problem while you are addressing the symptom of the problem, and i believe that democrats are understanding that as well. yeah? >> mr. speaker, both leader pelosi and leader shchumer came away thinking that the d.r.e.a.m. act was the baseline for the daca protection part of
3:44 pm
the bill, and the president said no citizenship, and so we are all a little bit confused here -- >> that is why this is not a negotiation, but a discussion to understand people's positions. >> my question is did the president shed any light on what his preferences would be and something like the dream act support that or your colleagues support that. >> what i want to do is to get the consensus with the members, and no offense, phil, but i will not negotiate through the media and this is not how legislation is drafted, so we will get the consensus, and we are having the conversations with the members right now, and there is going to be a kcompromise, and we believ it will occur, and this compromise is going to include border security and enforcement so we don't wind up with another daca problem ten years down the road. >> and can you help us to clear up some things, since you were there last night regarding the details of this, and when they say that, when you guys say that
3:45 pm
the d.r.e.a.m. act is the basis of what is involved in this, and as you understand it, it would include a pathway to citizenship for these folks? >> that is in the dream act and it is a long act, and a 15-year path, and that is an earned path in other words in the d.r.e.a.m. act it is about serving in the military or being employed or being in school for a period of time. so it is an earned path, but it is a long road. >> and two other quick things, would this agreement have to include in your view cuts to legal immigration? something along the lines of -- >> this is not about that. this is about dac asha and protecting it. we would love to engage further in the conversation about the comprehensive immigration reform, but that is not what this is about. >> thank you. >> just to be clear, it is your understanding that the president does support a pathway to citizenship, and you have no doubt that you and the president are on the same page here? >> well, we agreed on our path which is the insistance in every
3:46 pm
conversation with the speaker or the president or with the d.r.e.a.m.ers that it is going to be the d.r.e.a.m. act sponsored by congresswoman lucille allard that on september 25th or 26th will morph into a bill by the chairwoman of the hispanic caucus into a discharge petition. that is what that is, uh-huh. >> the house financial subcommittee held a hearing on the proposed legislation to strengthen the u.s. sanctions against north korea as well as some of the can countries suspected of laundering money for north korea, and two of them former federal advisers testified on what provisions the legislators will have to boost the efficacy of the not just u.s. sanctions, but those from the united nations security council and this is about two hours.
