d.r.e.a.m.ers a path to citizenship after 10 to 12 years. >> those here illegally we should not be granting a path to citizenship. that is wrong and it's inconsistent with the promises we made to the working men and women of this country. >> the bad part comes is the idea of a wall which i thought was a great idea in the 15th century when china built the great wall, not so smart today. >> reporter: a long way to go in a very short time. and democrats could force another government shutdown if there is no deal. the federal government runs out of money on february 8th again. reporting live in washington, edward lawrence. now back to you. brand-new video to show you now this morning. crews working to put out a vegetation fire, this is just after midnight. happened in san jose along santa clara street at highway 87. the fire was burning up the hill as you see here on both sides of 87. firefighters say they put out the flames in about 25 minutes.

you will remember that uber, the tsa, whole foods and verizon and other companies had breaches, too. even the irs has had a breach. we talked about an enrolled agent with h & r block in san jose and he told us that the key to safe guarding your refund is to not procrastinate. >> if you are sitting there going, well, no one has told me that my identity has been stolen, i have no worries, it's like, well, probably someone has already stolen it, you just don't know it yet. >> reporter: [ no audio ] >> we're having trouble hearing kris. we can hear you again. you take it over. start from the beginning because now we can hear you. >> reporter: all right. well, so you can protect your tax refund and ward off that refund fraud by filing that tax return as early as possible. choose direct deposit so you won't have a check sitting in your mailbox. if the irs notifies you that it

received your tax return before you have filed it, report that immediately to the irs and also to the federal trade commission. someone files a fraudulent return on your behalf, you can get your money back but those irs investigations can take months. mr. mau told us he saw one that took two years. today is again the first day that you can e file or someone can do it on your behalf, but remember that if you have to pay and that's why you don't want to file, file now, you have until april 17th to pay this year. in redwood city, krads, "today in the bay." happening today, san mateo county firefighters want to talk about the lessons learned in helping battle recent wildfires. tonight at 7:00 the central county fire district will present its findings and explain measures being taken to protect homeowners. that meeting takes place in hillsborough. right now at 6:08 we've got mostly clear skies, clear visibility as we take a live look in emeryville.
