pillsbury grands biscuits. make dinner pop. could there be common ground between democrats and the gop when it comes to immigration? details on a new proposal that might have a chance. was it something i said, mass exodus from congress, why the animosity now is worse than during the civil rights era. and super bowl security goes high-tech, from hand held radiation monitors to infrared cameras. more than 100 agencies are descending and working to keep the big game safe. good morning, i'm richard lui in for chris jansing this morning. could the gop be doing the very same? house republicans now entertaining the most specific ideas on immigration reform we've heard so far. now during their annual three-day retreat, they unveiled

principles for the nation's 11 million unauthorized immigrants to live and work here in the u.s. among the principles mentioned, they'd have to admit they are not in the u.s. legally, pass significant background checks, pay significant fines in back taxes, become proficient in u.s. and in u.s. civics. john boehner said these requirements to live and stay in the u.s. is just one part of what must be done. >> you can't begin the process of immigration reform without securing our borders. and the ability to enforce our laws. >> well, the principles do not make clear whether unauthorized immigrants would ever be able to apply for green cards or obtain citizenship. there is one exception, children brought into the country illegally through no fault of their own by their parents would be eligible for legal residence and citizenship. here's how president obama responded to the plan. >> i genuinely believe that speaker boehner and a number of

house republicans, folks like paul ryan, really do want to get a serious immigration reform bill done. >> all right. let's bring in senior congressional correspondent for politico, manu raju, elahe, and maria teresa kumar. manu, starting with you, this really is the most we've seen in black and white from house republicans on this key issue, immigration reform, and how to deal with unauthorized immigrants. the question has to be asked, how real is this, though? >> that's right. the devil's in the details here. remember, richard, this is a one-page document on something that could take hundreds and hundreds of pages to implement. we have to see what the legislation actually looks like. there are going to be a lot of sticking points that they have not resolved. you mention one of the top dealing with what to do with the people here illegally. even after these folks are legalized, will they be able to apply for green cards and

citizenship? that is not clear. there is a very, very tenuous coalition over labor on how to deal with guest workers that are brought here to the country. how do they structure that program, can they keep that coalition together? there are a lot of unanswered questions here and a one-page document is not going to be enough to get it through congress. we need meat on the bone. >> we'll see what the meet looks like. maria teresa, what we've seen so far, from what you've seen, is this enough for the communities that have so much care about this immigration reform, we're talking about latino and asian-americans, is this enough for them to support it? >> more than anything, republicans, what they did, put their toe in the water and are trying to see what individuals such as the media pundits, but also the community, business, and other folks are listening to and what they are paying attention to. quite frankly, we need to see

meat on this. what you're hearing from the republicans, they want enforcement first. under president obama, we've had more deportations and enforcement than any other president, so that is not where they should be leaning. they should say what are we going to do with the 11 million undocumented? you're talking about our families and until you see some meat around that piece of legislation, it's going to be a wait and see. >> first out of the gate, though, we've got the one page. what do you think, is it aiming the right way? >> everybody's cautious, but everybody's saying let's wait and see, because i think the sticking point is definitely going to be, is there going to be a pathway to legalization, to residency, and as manu pointed out, they are not sure if green cards are on the table, so it's going to be a ate and see. >> it is only two sentences on that complex issue on that one-page document. elahe, republicans writing, republicans may attract more support for hispanic americans who voted overwhelmingly for

obama in 2012, but gop risks alienating voters who want illegal immigration halted before the government grants concessions that could lead to citizenship for people who broke the law. can the speaker get his caucus majority together to support this from what we understand it is right now? >> yeah, that's the big question right now. i mean, this one-page document in many ways, rather than trying to lay out specific policy and legislation proposals is rather a way for them and for speaker boehner and leadership to take the temperature of their caucus. if he can find enough people in the middle to get behind doing something and along with a bunch of democrats onboard, they might be able to push something through. greg walden, the chair of the national republican congressional committee said that he doesn't expect a vote on immigration to come to the house before primary season, before the primary, so this could come after primaries, so perhaps you could see some conservative

members getting onboard with immigration reform and not suffering the consequences of a primary season. >> do you think that's the cadence we are seeing? this, again, is the first and most specific writing on the issue of immigration reform we've seen from the gop house. do you expect, based on how long it's taken to get to this point, we will see a vote not in this 2014 season, but after? >> i mean, that's the big question, right, when and if any vote is going to come. what was most striking to me yesterday is the rhetoric and the response coming from democratic leaders, from president obama and also minority leader nancy pelosi, they seem to be giving republicans plenty of room. they are not wholeheartedly endorsing it, which could help republicans get more republicans onboard with their proposal, but giving them the space. so we'll see. i mean, one of the other responses coming from congressman luis gutierrez, democrat from illinois, reform advocate, he sounded cautiously optimistic, saying deportations

was a big issue for him and many immigrations and beyond that, having some sort of pathway and legalization citizenship mechanism. the coming months and weeks especially will be very telling. >> manu, this draft was presented to the conference, but the question is, who came up with this idea, who drafted it, how many people, how big was this collaboration, was it just boehner and cantor getting together? you know, for instance, the republican senator jeff sessions saying, hey, this is not the gop conference. you put it out to the gop conference, we're going to get a totally different answer on this. >> that's right. you're going to see a big revolt on the right. you already saw ted cruz, for instance, raise some concerns about going in what he considers an amnesty route for people that are here illegally, but you have folks, as you mention, folks in the republican leadership, the political leaders of the party, who recognize that they need to show a more moderate stance on this issue. if they want to get hispanic

voters. what is really driving a lot of republicans here is not so much a 2014 midterms, because the house, a lot of these districts that don't have a big latino presence and they may not need the bill to keep the house, is really the concern over the 2016 elections. that is what republicans believe they need to do something on immigration in order to compete nationally and potentially take back the white house in 2016. >> that's why you might have a moderate gop that will pull along the congress and go that way and get something passed so the gop nominee can have a chance at becoming president. last look at you, maria teresa, this is more a litnis test of how the gop house feels this issue is to them maintaining the control of the house. >> absolutely. let's not forget, this is the same party that less than two years ago was the self deportation party. the fact they have legislation on the table, to manu's point,

demonstrates they recognize they need the latino vote to win the white house. in order for them to actually control both the congress and the white house, they need to make sure they are catering to the latino vote and asian vote, that helped put obama over the top. without having these conversations being at the table, they create a vacuum where the democrats can create their narrative. they are now at the table so they can have at least an audience with this population and tell them what they think they have to do when it comes to immigration reform. >> the specificity on some perspectives low, but other sides, wow, did not expect to get this much out of the conference. manu, elahe, maria teresa, thank you and have a good weekend. the dow jones industrial average now down 178 points. almost down 200 a little bit earlier. the reason why here, reports of weak corporate earnings, as well some worries about trouble in emerging markets.

apparently to blame. we'll be watching that, of course, because we're watching our retirement accounts. we'll have more on that later in the show. checking the news feed, amanda knox's former boyfriend was just released from police after they detand him overnight. his passport confiscated and told he could not leave the country because of the conviction. this comes one day after the two were found guilty of murdering knox's former roommate. >> i will never go willingly back to the place where i -- i'm going to fight this until the very end. >> well, new york city has reached an agreement with plaintiffs in the high-profile stop and frisk investigation. mayor bill de blasio ran on a platform to end stop and frisk practices. the deal reportedly will have a

congressional dominos, and the first ones may have been pushed, a couple of them, surprise retirement of henry waxman and george miller. some speculating nancy pelosi might be next, although she's said she will be running again. pelosi is losing, though, very close allies with eight decades of collective experience. two, who would have been key in pelosi's fight for democrats to retake the house. waxman had this to say about partisan animosity on the hill

as he announced his retirement. take a listen. >> the republicans in the house have been captive by the tea party right wing extremists, who think that compromise is a dirty word and think that working with democrats is like complicity with the enemy, and, of course, that's absurd. >> the democrat insists he's not leaving out of frustration with congress, but his comments show those who want to get stuff done in d.c. may be getting a little tired. joining me now, former congressman barney frank. thank you for joining me today, congressman. what do you think henry waxman was saying when describing the animosity in the house? >> that's accurate. i was proud when i was there when they took a vote of republican as to who was partisan and who was bipartisan in democrats and i was in the top five in both. i think being partisan when there are legitimate issues when the public ought to be presented with and decide, that's very

important, but you don't do that in such an angry personal way that you can't work together when you should, and that was the way that almost everybody operated until the tea party people took over. but i don't think that that was the reason for henry retiring. i have to say, both henry waxman and george miller, they are -- they have been in congress for 40 years. i guess i'm a little puzzled why people think those of us who are in our 70s. george isn't quite 70s. >> he won't take offense to that. >> why after decades on the job you think, you know, retirement has some special reason. i will tell you in my own case, the angry partisanship was a reason to stay, because i think it's very important to fight those people in a civil as way as possible, and i think people shouldn't leave out the personal. and again in the case of waxman and miller, factor in 3,000-mile journeys round trip every week. pretty tough. >> that is tough going

coast-to-coast there. congressman, you were certainly known for not being scared of, you know, taking a step back away from a fight here, but you're also saying you were ranked as one of the top bipartisan individuals in congress. this is different, though, isn't it? you may have been known for, you know, being very spirited about your argumentation style, but at the same time it is about, at the end, being bipartisan. >> well, it is about both. look, you do not have democracy without political parties. the people who founded america didn't like political parties, but found themselves inevitably drawn into them. if you don't have political parties, if you don't present the electorate with two -- and in most capitalist democracies of the kind we have got through western europe, you have a healthy society, you need a public sector and private sector, one party favors the private sector more, and there's a fight about how to draw the

line. for the first time we have a group that denies the legitimate si of the public sector, and for awhile they were dominating the republican party. i said for some time, the most important thing going on in america today in politics is whether or not the mainstream conservatives are going to regain their party from the extremists. now, john boehner was very weak for a while. he does appear to be pushing back on this, and that would restore a healthier situation. i was very partisan in the sense that i articulated very firmly my values and try to find holes in there, wasn't hard from my standpoint, but you don't let it get personal. by the way, i was able in my last term to work with tea party people. there was a basis for cooperation between many of us on the very liberal side and some of the tea party people in cutting back on the greatly overextended, enormously expensive american military presence worldwide. i cosponsored an amendment with mick movaney from south carolina that for the first time

succeeded in reducing what the appropriations committee went after the military. >> congressman, i have to ask you about this, with waxman retiring here, there's a talk of sandra flukes saying she will run for his seat. this brings up the argument of congress needs new blood. senator fluke, many people might remember, was the woman called a derogatory term by rush limbaugh for her stand on contraception and her profile grew because she spoke at the dnc. is new blood needed? is it good we're seeing in the end the two decades, for example, that are retiring? >> in the case of both those men, they were far from exhausted in terms of their political impact. i can understand why they were tired personally, and i think the answer is, yes, congress needs new blood, and, yes, congress needs experience. it would be a terrible thing if almost everybody left, you know, i've never liked the term limits

argument. if you have a congress consisted almost entirely of new young people, the bureaucracy runs the show. you need to have been there for a while to learn how to effectively advocate for constituents, so you need a mix of new people and experience, and i think that's not been the problem. the problem, as i said, it's very specific. people say what happened to bipartisanship, and i'll tell you, barack obama got elected. in 2008, george bush comes to congress six weeks before the presidential election, comes to the democratic leadership and says, we have a terrible crisis, and nancy pelosi and harry reid told chris dodd and me to do whatever we can to cooperate. chris paulson talks about what great cooperation he got. unfortunately, the cooperation that we, the democrats, gave george bush in 2008 died in 2009 when mitch mcconnell announced his goal was to defeat obama. >> former massachusetts

work, sharon epperson. so, myra. my retirement account. what makes this different, sharon, than what's already out there? >> well, it's not different really than a roth ira, your contributions can be drawn tax-free, so to some that may be a good thing, for others, wait a minute, i can use it as a piggy bank and take out whenever i want, but your principal is protected by the government, and that is a good thing. >> you can't lose. >> a lot of folks very concerned about the markets, that's why they are not investing. they are worried on what may happen on a day like today when stocks are down. >> i put in $100, i know i'm going to at least come back later on with $100. >> you're going to get the same variable interest rate on a plan that federal employees now have, one of those funds is going to be the fund that is used. it's only returned about 2.25%, but still, your money's not going down. the other thing is, when you get

to $15,000, that account can be rolled over to a private sector ira. >> so who's eligible for this? >> well, there are a lot of folks that are going to want to pay attention for this, because if you make less than $129,000 a year, you're eligible. if you're a couple making less than $191,000 a year, you're eligible. that's a lot of folks. those are the same limits on a roth right now. >> as was said, this is a third of all the households in the united states, that's a staggering statistic there. what kind of impact will this new plan have on those that are struggling to save money and even day to day just to get food on the table? >> here's a great thing, you can start with a minimum investment of $25 and make payroll deductions of $5. some iras make you put in a minimum of $1,000, so this is an easier way to get in. what i see, a financial education plan, a way to get people to start saving who have been afraid to get into the markets and start saving for

retirement. this gets them started. >> so, sharon, really just developing a habit, an attitude of putting in something. >> exactly. >> $25 -- >> $25 you can start to save, and, yes, at $15,000, what's that really going to do for you for retirement, well, it's going to get you in the mindset for saving for the future and that's what so many americans are not doing right now. >> compared to other countries. >> you're talking about 28% of workers have only $1,000 saved so far. obviously, there are a lot of vehicles out there already. 401(k)s, iras, but who's taking advantage? >> too many letters, stop! >> too many letters, that makes it simple, easy. >> we got to go. when can they do this? >> they are going to start rolling out a pilot program by the end of the year. that's the treasury department's goal. >> thanks for coming over, we appreciate. 277 days until election day and democrats are counting the number of seats they'd have to win to take back the house. is it worth the effort here, and

in quiet phone calls and traded e-mails on the hill right now, politico is reporting the democrat party is working on a new strategy for 2014, put all the eggs or the money here in the senate basket. the theory, do not waste precious campaign dollars on house races, when winning the house is a tougher bet. politico says big democratic donors plan to shift funds, as well. joining me now, former chief of staff for joe manchin and joe watkins, former aide to george h.w. bush. chris, let's start with you here. what do you think of the strategy that's being reported on? >> well, you know, it's a little premature. i understand the logic behind it. obviously, you hold the senate now, so you want to keep it. you wouldn't want that to flip

and you're talking about, you know, some very difficult states. they are essentially red or purple states being held by democrats, but, you know, in terms of the house, 17 states is a little bit of a tough hill, especially given redistricting, but i think you got to wait and see how it plays out over the next few months and then make the decision. i think the talk about abandoning the house is a little too early for my sake. >> has this been done before, though, chris? >> well, it's always done in the sense of, you know, when you're talking about big donors or the parties trying to make calculations in terms of where to put the resources, they are going to focus on where they are most vulnerable, and when you look at the senate, it's obvious you've got to keep some of those seats, we don't want to lose the senate. that being said, what i see in the polling is a lot of instability, a lot of an electorate that can switch very quickly, so even though generic ballots favor republicans slightly, depending on the poll right now, that thing can flip

very quickly. >> yeah, no doubt. and to yo here, my friend, joe. as we look at this, chris did a great explanation of how it works on the democratic side. chicken or egg, is that a response of what's happening on the republican side, or is it the shift of resources? >> well, i think at the end of the day you just want to win. republicans see a great opportunity in the u.s. senate. we want to, obviously, hold the house. if we can, build them the majority we have on the house side, and on the senate side if we can add, that's a good thing, too. remember, they are over 30 seats up this year, over 20 democrat seats up this year. a lot of democratic seats up. look at the state of virginia, for instance, mark warner was seen to be a safe democrat, now he's got ed gillespie running against him as a good shot. and republicans have an issue nationwide, which is affordable care, because it's not about dislike for the president, it's dislike for the way the bill has

rolled out. it's a federal mandate. everybody has to participate in it. >> back to what we're talking about, the shifting of resources here. i'm thinking, joe, when we look at citizens united and the election, there's plenty of money out there. doesn't seem like an issue to refocus money. >> there's money out there. it's always a fight, but all politics are local, and what matters if you're a candidate, the resources are allocated to you, and the resources only get allocated to you if you look like you have a chance to win. if you're a candidate for senate running in a state it looks like you can't win, you don't get resources, that's whether you're a democrat or republican. >> chris, i want to play this to you, the chair of the democratic national committee expressed skepticism about this idea, about victory in the house. debbie wasserman schultz. take a listen to what she said. >> i'm not going to confidently predict the democrats will take the house back, what i will predict, we're going to pick up seats.

>> where? >> down boy. >> that was funny within itself. the house truly unwinnable? we can't help all three of us to chuckle a little built theit th. >> is the house unwinnable? >> yes, based on this hypothesis. >> what i've seen in the last decade are things people thought impossible happening. when talking about senate seats, the last few cycles, just the senate, for example, republicans should have picked up about seven senate seats because their candidates were too extreme and everyone assumed states like nevada and delaware or missouri or indiana were gone, and that didn't end up being the case. so i think people have to kind of step back, and my perspective, my focus is, what's the message and strategy that we can come up with in order to kind of exploit what is clearly an electorate that is not happy with the status quo. that is not just towards democrats, by the way, that's across politics in general. we have to focus on that before we shift all our resources to

the senate. >> okay, so talking about politics in general, as you're mentioning, chris, joe to you on this, we were talking a little bit earlier in the show about the retiring congress members and there are 17 so far. we're looking at ten republicans, seven democrats. when you look at the republican side, is this money issue part of that? where the energy's going farther to the right, moderates are retiring, tea party candidates are getting more cash? >> well, i think it really depends on the district, you know, you have a number of retiring members and each of their situations is different. in some instances, you have candidates that are self funders, and self funders, of course, you don't have a money issue, because they have the money to pay for their own campaign elections, but overall, whether the candidates are tea party folks or non tea party, more establishment republicans, we think there's a great opportunity for republicans in the 2014 cycle. >> but is there a shift there? is that why some of them are

retiring? >> i don't think so. >> yes. >> no, i think there may be some members who are not happy because there isn't -- >> joe -- >> there isn't more movement in congress, more things aren't getting done, but for the most part it depends on the individual. >> joe -- >> if you're a freshman member of congress and you thought you were going to have a chance to get something done, chris -- >> joe -- answer the question, you know it's yes. >> no. if you're a freshman member of congress, if you were a freshman, you've done two terms and frustrated that nothing's happened and you're a minority member, you're a -- >> if you're a moderate centrist republican, you are endangered species. it's really that simple. there is an incentive to retire. >> big ten, we got moderates, conservatives. >> where are the moderates? >> and with those smiles on your face, thank you very much, both of you. had to get you guys in on that

happy note there. checking the news feed this morning, federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty for dzhokhar tsarnaev. the final call will be made by attorney general eric holder. tsarnaev is accused of setting off two bombs with his brother at the boston marathon. three people were killed and more than 260 wounded. there's a new pugh research poll and it finds that more than half the american people think the wars in iraq and afghanistan have been a failure. 52% say neither war achieved its goal. 2.5 million americans have served in uniform in one or both wars since it began 12 years ago. a salt lake city school district apologizing after lunches were taken from student and thrown in the trash. apparently here, their parents owed money on their food accounts. understandably, parents are outraged. >> she took my lunch away, go get a milk. okay, i come back up, what's

>> shaky start, i like to look at it as a decade, first time in a decade i can say santa claus rally and i'm still remembering that. amazon concerned about its earnings, they might raise prime membership and the fee related to that. >> they say we have to to cover rising fuel and transport costs. apparently, the company is considering a $20 to $40 increase in the annual $79 fee that amazon charges us for the prime two-day shipping and also the online media service. as for the earnings, backing up a bit, their profit of revenue grew in the holiday quarter, but the problem is it fell below what was expecting. nonetheless, it came out with a caution, as well, about a possible operating loss this quarter as those shipping costs are climbing. as you can imagine, shares are down today. >> i know you're watching this story because it affects so many viewers, yahoo! and the e-mail security breach. >> right, user names, passwords

of yahoo! e-mail customers have been stolen and used to access accounts. we're not sure how many accounts, but yahoo! believes the user names and passwords weren't collected from its own systems, but from a third party database. yahoo! is resetting the pass words on the affected accounts and implemented additional measures, but we're seeing more and more of this kind of thing. it might be a case of get used to it. >> before you go here, who are you picking in the super bowl? >> as an australian? >> no, no, no, you know what i'm talking about. >> i think i'm allowed to stay on the outside of that one. i don't know anything about football. i'm just looking forward to the chips and dips. >> i will say the broncos for you then. >> thank you, i'll say the broncos. >> thank you. in a moment, surprising hit super bowl business, speaking of which, will take this year. first, i've got the super bowl ads. which ones are winning the popularity race online. here's a look at the top five.

new york and new jersey launching a massive security effort to protect the tens of thousands converging on the metro area. nbc's katie tur is following the preparations, while dominic choo is following the money and economic impact of the super bowl. katie, let's start with the fun stuff and serious stuff where you are. times square, where it's super bowl boulevard. >> times square. >> that area, what kind of security operations are we talking about? some really interesting technology. >> a lot of stuff across both of the states, in fact, it's not new york city or the stadium. it's encompassing a lot of stuff. millions of people are converging on this. you can imagine just how massive of an undertaking it is. over in new jersey around the stadium, they have about two and a half miles of fencing. that's the low-tech stuff. they also have cameras trained on pretty much every movement, helicopters in the air, people on the ground, boats on the water, because the stadium's

surrounded by marshland. they have boats in all the rivers around here. they have radiation detectors, thousands of them throughout the city that will go off if a dirty bomb is detected. they have surveillance, real-time surveillance where they claim they can see in real time if someone is looking suspicious or leave what they call a suspicious package on the ground, they are able to see that and react immediately. this is super bowl boulevard, also times square, so there are so many people here right now, and there's a ton of security. cops everywhere, mobile command units up and down the city from the fbi and nypd, but there are undercover officers, plain clothes officers and a lot of stuff you probably hope is happening behind the scenes, and all to keep us safe, hopefully, for the super bowl. richard? >> that's right, safe, so they can have fun. that's so important. thank you so much. the super bowl's expected to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy. dom, so there are conflicting

numbers on how much the region will benefit from the super bowl. what do you have on that? >> the estimates have been around $550 to $600 million in impact, if that were to happen, it could be a huge boom for local economies. the concern is you won't get near that number, and for a number of different reasons. the crowd that you have coming into the super bowl right now may not be the crowd that typically goes after the same tourist attractions, they may not be going to broadway shows, eating at the same types of restaurants, so as you talk about the impact, yes, maybe some hotels. they are starting to feel a pinch now, believe it or not. there are a lot of hotel rooms in the new york area, they are not going for the same premium that smaller-market super bowls might have. >> if you're talking about hotel prices, that supply/demand question, there are the ticket prices, which are so defining. >> the ticket prices have been. at one point, like you said, it could have been the most expensive super bowl to attend, a lot of wealth here, well now

ticket prices have been coming down. you can see there, the average prices dropped by about 38%. this is according to second market aggregator, the lowest price to $1,250. there is a concern they'll approach face value. >> still, $1,250, oh, wee. we can't talk about the super bowl without talking about the super food. 1.25 billion chicken wings expected to be consumed sunday. talked about it yesterday, had to bring it up today. the top foods will be salty snacks, dips, pizza, and then wings. by the way, 1.25 billion wings, that's four for every american. that's a lot of wings to be eaten. dom, you've got other mouth-watering numbers on concessions sales happening at the stadium itself. >> about 80,000 people are going to be at the stadium and delaware north company has been doing this for a long time for these stadiums, they are expecting to do a lot of sales. you can see 21,500 hot dogs

estimated to be consumed here, 20,000 sausages, 7,500 individual pizzas, and 50,000 cups of hot chocolate, coffee, whatever you call it. it's still going to be cold out there. again, you say 1.25 billion chicken wings, how about 104 million pounds of avocado for all that guacamole. >> you outdid me. very quickly, there are some odd rules that have fans upset. >> they do. you cannot take taxis, black car, limousines to the game. some people are having their own coaches or motor buses take you to the event, but this is billed as the first mass transit super bowl, so the train will be heavily trafficked, a lot of stresses on the mass transit system, that's going to be key. >> 15 seconds here, why is your twitter handle "the domino"?

>> it's all about the effectsing right, one thing leads to another leads to another. >> cnbc's the domino chu. thank you so much. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

not working for people, but it is to craft an alternative. >> this all happening as republicans look to keep control of the house and seize the senate during the midterm elections this fall. nbc's casey hunt is joining me from washington, d.c. we have the house republicans here, they have unveiled an immigration blueprint as of yesterday. they have several broad principles in it here. what kinds of things are we talking about? >> this is a pretty significant step for the house gop. they've laid out a blueprint for how they might move forward. they've put border security at the top of that list. that's deliberate. they want to make sure voters know that's their first priority, but they've also laid out a way for potentially adults to have legal status here in the united states, they've laid out a path to citizenship for those who were brought here as young adults. it's unclear whether or not undocumented immigrants would be able to apply for green cards under this blueprint, b
