trump's top allies in congress, republican senator david perdue of georgia. senator perdue, thank you for joining us on the program. my first question to you, how worried should daca recipients like young alex, the young man we just heard from, how worried ould they be about their status? >> well, i'm hopeful that we're going to have a solution for them this weekth president wants the same thing that they are talking about.ar you in that clip, judy, that this individual -- and what eat story that is -- wan certainty for his future. how can you argue with that?en well, the preshas offered that. actually, going beyond what was originally being negotiated, but what he's also said is he wantse to eliminateituation that caused this problem in the first place. we don't want to be back here in fig years doing the same th again for a new wave of young people brought here illegally. so tt's what this is about, and i think this president's plan, the bill we have, the succeed and secure act, actually does that.
