deal on an immigration plan, especially concerning daca, but the president is casting doubt on a deal, tweeting, daca is probably dead because the democrats don't really want it. they just want to take desperately needed money away from our military. nbc's tracie potts is live in washington this morning, tracie, good morning. >> phillip, good morning. the fate of 800,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers, these young immigrants, hangs in the balance, connected to the budget negotiations here on capitol hill and things are a little bit different than this time last year because now the senate needs 60 votes, meaning republicans in charge cannot do it alone. they have to get some democrats on board. friday's the deadline come up with a budget or face a government shutdown. >> shame on any of us. we sit here and say we will let it run out for the sake of politics. >> i for one will not vote for government funding until we get a deal on daca. >> reporter: daca, protection

for young immigrants brought here illegally, it runs out in march. >> i believe there is a deal to be had. >> reporter: there's a deal on the table worked out by democrats and republicans, it curbs the visa lottery and what the president calls chain migration. president trump calls it outlandish. >> we are ready, willing and able to make a deal but they don't want to. they don't want security at the border. >> i think we put $40 billion of border security in that bill. >> reporter: daca is probably dead, the president tweets. he's concerned the budget deal would take money away from the military. >> he basically said, i'm calling this program to an end and i'm putting a shot gun to everybody's head and if you don't give me my wall, i'm going to pull the trigger. >> reporter: friday, a hard deadline for the budget, a soft deadline for daca, but so far, no deal. the president also denying he made any derogatory comments, some say racist comments, about haiti and african nations. there were questions about whether or not that might play

into these negotiations, but now we've got lawmakers on both sides saying they do not plan to have that derail this daca deal. back to you. >> high stakes game of chicken they're playing over there. thank you. this morning the fcc is investigating what caused a false alert telling hawaii residents to seek shelter because of an incoming ballistic missile. saturday morning's warning threw residents and tourists into a panic. now congress wants answers. nbc's jacob soboroff was there. >> reporter: it was pandemonium in paradise after the alert was sent to phones throughout the state and broadcast on television. >> a missile may impact on land or sea within minutes. >> reporter: shocked tourists and locals. worried they were minutes away from annihilation. >> the hotel staff told my parents, "seek shelter. you only have 12 minutes." >> hard to stay calm when you don't know what's happening. >> reporter: families huddled in their closet during and after the alert went out, staying closely glued to their cell phones. >> people are hiding in the h3 tunnel, people are running to the mountains with their

families. >> reporter: members of congress are demanding answers on why it took 38 minutes for a correction to be texted out. twice the time it would take for a missile to reach hawaii from north korea. >> those responsible for this happening need to be held accountable and making sure that this cannot, it cannot happen again. >> reporter: the fcc chairman called the false alert absolutely unacceptable and has launched an investigation. the governor took responsibility. >> today is a day most of us will never forget, and many in our community was deeply affected by this. and i'm sorry. >> reporter: the mistake was part of an early warning system put into place amid rising tensions between president trump and north korean leader kim jong-un. less than 24 hours before the false alarm, we were given an exclusive tour of the room where it was triggered. because of what state officials say was the push of a wrong button. >> this is where the call comes in that notifies us of a ballistic missile launch. >> reporter: if a nuclear missile is launched from north korea, this is where you find out? >> that's right. these are state warning

officers. they'll receive a call from the pacific command on a secure line and make a decision to activate the statewide siren system. >> reporter: where's the phone? >> right here behind us. >> reporter: saturday morning that phone never rang, and there was never a signal from the military to sound the alarm, but it happened anyway. now this state and the nation are dealing with the consequences. frances, it was extraordinary to be here and inside that diamond head crater where the emergency management system is headquartered. they were very clear with us that in the event of a nuclear attack one of the first things that the general public would hear are 394 sirens throughout the state of hawaii. those sirens did not sound and led to a great deal of confusion out here on the beach and throughout the hawaiian islands. i should say that it does beg the question what happens with the hawaiian public in the event that that siren once again sounds, especially if the siren, frances, is not a drill. >> scary to think. thanks. heart wrenching, that's what authorities say the aftermath of
