with our nation's values and treat migrants with dignity and respect. wongn spoke with scott about the status of border security ahead of next week's funding deadline. wong as a senior staff writer with that hill -- with that hill. what is the status of house and senate border security talks ? like negotiators are nearing a compromise deal to keep government open. they are approaching a compromise number somewhere from the range of about one point $3 billion for president trump's border wall, to about $2 billion for his border wall. that is significantly lower than has beenident trump demanding for the last several months. the president wants 5.7 billion dollars, but given the fact that

we just had a 35-day shutdown and the president was weakened and sort of hobbling, coming out of that shutdown, it appears the president will have to come off that $5.7 billion number. the big question is, once the bipartisan group comes to some sort of deal, we are hoping by monday, what does the president do at that? nobody can speak for the president. nobody knows what he is going to do so that remains an open question. steve: it did seem to some reporters and others the president was leaving it in the hands of legislators, meeting with appropriations chair senator richard shelby midweek, and acting chief of staff mick tovaney writing legislators camp david. you tweeted about that. who is going up there and what do they hope to get done, and is it and all-weekend affair?

group of four republicans and four democrats should be leaving any minute now. there will be up there this evening for a dinner with the new acting chief of staff, mick mulvaney, who actually used to be a member of the conservative freedom caucus. there are a number of conferees, the negotiators negotiating the government funding bill who will be attending, including henry cuellar of texas, also a number of appropriators and top members of the budget committee including john yarmuth of kentucky, the chairman. what i am told is that it will not solely focus on funding the government, o although that will certainly come up for discussion. it is more focused on areas were

democrats and republicans can find any sort of bipartisan compromise in this new congress and in this new era of divided government. that includes perhaps some things president trump touched on in his state of the union address, lowering prescription drug prices, a possible big package on infrastructure that members of both parties have desired. sayinge white house is is, there are no expectations, we want to extend an olive branch and have mulvaney talk to members of congress across the aisle. border security, the $1.3 billion to $2 billion range, you tweeted, should negotiators narrow the range for border funding, scott, give us the range, how quickly do they

have to get this done to meet the february 15 deadline? scott: they will need to come to an agreement by monday. that means the negotiators will be working through the weekend. the top republican appropriate or in the house, told me she will be here this weekend. they have asked the white house and leadership for more time to strike a deal. they feel they are that close and that it is within reach, so by monday they are hoping to get a deal. that gets the ball rolling for votes on the house, and if it passes the house it goes on to the senate and then to the president, and as i mentioned before, that is where the rubber hits the road because it will be up to the president. he will have many options at that point. he can sign it into law and that will be that in congress will move on from this funding fight. he could decide to shut down the government and have a second

shut down in as many months, because he did not get what he wanted, the $5.7 billion on his wall. range of options. he could decide to sign this into law and go ahead and move so the president will have a on the table ns and no one quite knows what he'll do next. looking to floor action, the senate will be aking up the nomination of william barr, the attorney general. up aar the house is taking war powers resolution on yemen. tell us about that briefly. > the war powers resolution essentially force the president to bring troops back home from the civil war conflict yemen. this would -- this is something that the senate had passed december.ack in

the house foreign affairs committee just approved it this now heads to the floor. the house next week. significant, is is is if both chambers pass it and send it to the president, lexing their congressional authority, and the separation of powers, then this likely will be the first resolution or piece of that will be vetoed by president trump. obviously, a significant moment of divided era government. >> scott wong, senior staff on the hill. ollow his reporting at thehill.com. thank you for joining us. >> thank you chlt [captions copyright national cable satellite corp 2019] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] >> c-span is live in iowa. announcingisit since his presidential candidacy.

[background noises] keep an eye onto

the room as we wait for new booker to tor cory arrive in des moines to meet with voters. until then, from this morning's journal, a discussion on global migration. >> what made you decide to write this article now. november, we looked at migration, global specifically to europe and here. striking cover. who are the individuals on that

and what's their story? we have albert -- the two of them were separated at the u.s. border, when they migrated up guatemala, and they were -- tina, who is 27, endured of unspeakable sexual violence at home, and she real daughter who just union 12 on state of the day, that her daughter was going to be subject to that same kind of violence. made the heartwrenching

decision to leave her home and ande the rest of her family head north. when they arrived in texas last separated for almost six weeks. them decided to highlight and their story. hey are one of thousands of families who were separated at the u.s. border this year. >> there has been a lot of focus on what's happening at the u.s. southern border, but your piece the global issue of migration and immigration as well. countries er responding to the influx of immigrants across their border? >> you know, this is one of these fascinating problems, ways, it's hard to talk about in the countries responding to the influx of immigrantsuniversal. each country responds differently. masses of people leaving venezuela right now. ou have people moving through mexico and each of these governments is reacting

differently. we want tothe things focus on was sort of how complex like, democracies were, you know, in the united states, in europe, where reacting to influxes, these waves of from sub sahara africa, from the middle east and central america, which is much of our story here in america. started aw when we looking at the global patchwork as this sort of myriad reactions. one of which, which we're seeing on ywhere, is cracking down the things that have made democracies, western democracies. open borders, not completely but permeable borders. of wing for the movement

trade and goods. and the united states, you're starting to see this reaction to millions of borders. moving across what is that reaction? what is the public sentiment? is it similar in other countries to what we're seeing here in the united states the push to build a wall. are we seeing the same thing? >> absolutely. hungary, for example, you have a giant border fence now. victor -- has e, implemented all kinds of law from revent migrants settling there. they have criminalized the act undocumented person of any kind. another, you know, one of the de facto leaders there. e turned away boats full of refugees at the board last summer.

his rhetoric, if you listen to some of these anti-immigrant leaders in europe, they sound very similar in many ways to our trump.nt, president in talking about criminal -- as ing about immigrants criminals. talking about, you know, the what's always referred to as sort of values in tian here as hat's used american values. nation of immigrants as well. you're starting to see this reaction and that's across europe. parties have gained electoral power. almost across the board in 2018. and we're going to see really coming t e.u. elections up in may. all of these -- this influx of really affecting our

democratic governance across the board. let's let some of our callers get involved in this conversation. we're going to open up our lines for this conversation, so, if you're call in if you want to on the republican line call -- if you want to call in on the line call 202-748-8000. 202-748-8002. eep in mind we're always on ing on social media, twitter at cspan wj. mass ou say that the movement of migrants has changed the world for better and worse. explain to us what you mean by better and worse? absolutely. so first of all, let's take yet another step back and when we about migrants in the cases, we're t of

talking about folks like, like -- who we began this conversation talking about, who are leeing violence, who horrible situations. war, civil war in syria, civil sahara and africa. have much of a cases, we're choice. they are fleeing where they are coming from. millions, so many of tens of millions of people who are moving around the world are also looking for better education. healthcare.better looking world. and we healthcare. looking for better jobs. so we made an effort in the story to look very broadly at looked at some of these e studies. national studies here in the u.s., european studies, and what happens is basically, when igrants first arrive in a place, they do use more -- they often use, not in every case, use more social safety net and resources than do.rs but --very, very quickly, with

getndividual migrant's jobs and begin paying that back. migrants here in america, immigrants here in america pay taxes. access to any sort of free healthcare and things like that so if you just purely economically and put aside the sort of cultural benefits of interacting with different have backgrounds than your put aside economically it own.y just purely does benefit a coun a generation. within the children of migrants a often giving back financially to an economy in measure. are hard to nd then the bad, of course, i mean, that's part of the good

tory, and the bad story is these waves of migrants are very much railing our culture right now. railing our politics. of -- it's a difficult thing to get your mind mean, that's part of thearound. talking about e globally and the effect of migrant globally on entire structures but i think now in the ight united states, that you have reacting in ways these waves of migrants are very much railing our culture right now. that it ill have an effect on our country for many years into the future. >> we've talked about this efore but what are some of the top reasons why people leave their homes and become immigrants or migrants? >> this is a very regional difference. n many top reasons why people leave their places in central america right now, there is major gang violence, gang issues. talk to dozens of migrants who are fleeing persecution from

different rival gangs. the domestic violence is a huge in central america right now. you also have climate change issues. crops that used to be enough to a family are no longer producing. we talked to this one woman who was traveling north with, i believe, her two children and a iece or nephew, and she was saying, you know, i can stand two but g for a day or can't.ldren these are the kinds of situation that is people are leaving. in other parts of the world, in and asia you ica see mass immigration of people for better jobs, better opportunities for their children, better healthcare, education, fleeing government persecution, fleeing sexual they are of a orientation that's persecuted. it's hard to put your finger on it but one thing we heard
