the read from the house ways and means chair, kevin brady. congressman, he can't win for love or money but maybe the feeling is that he's got to do more. the pressure is on republicans to do just that, more. have a comprehensive deal complete and soon. what do you think? >> yes, so i think what the president did is a temporary fix. we need a permanent solution. tomorrow the democrats are interesting in keeping families together and finding a good solution for the dreamers, tomorrow about this time they'll have a chance to join republicans to do this. i think -- look, this is a very i think strong bill. it shuts the back door of illegal immigration. starts to fix the front door of legal immigration, which needs it, keeps the families together and finds a path for dreamers that earn it, work, get an education or serve in the military, a very strong bill. i'm challenging democrats to join us in making this the law. >> neil: chairman, a lot of attention has been taken away from the six months or to look back at the tax cuts that went into effect.

there was a reason why when kevin brady worked on this bill the way it was titled. tax cuts and jobs act. for too long people don't go back and see the title actually match what the bill was supposed to achieve? i think it was titled just correctly. americans have seen that they kept more of their paychecks. they go look at it, they're bring manager home. and for the first time in a their raise is moving up, whare that -- what they're getting paid. for the first time in history there are more jobs in history than those looking for work. one they have statistics most telling, look at the last 49 years in this country. the last 49 years in america, unemployment has been below 4% seven months out of 49 years. two of those seven months were april and may of this year. in less than six months, this bill is working. the one millionth job has been created so the jobs act and the tax cut has proven correct. but there's more to do. if you look at small business, the greatest creator of new jobs this whole history they've taken their toll. is it a good time to expand? the hig

neil: that was house ways and means committee kevin brady and what he's bemoaning is the fact that thesident is quite serious about slapping tariffs on steel and aluminum products that largely skew the chinese for now but are considered to be an opening via our friends, of course the germans are upset about this, the canadians and mexicans virtually the entire european union so they're all making it clear that they don't like this . this as the commerce secretary wilbur ross is dining in beijing tonight with the vice premier talking about these and other issues, and we're told as well that the chinese are not just going to roll over and play dead on this. let's get the read on how significant this could be if this does turn into a trade war, dagen mcdowell is here, david asman, among with market watcher , all right dagen how big a deal is this potentially going to be? dagen: it's already a big deal you've seen steel prices shoot up about 50% in the last year. this introduces the uncertainty we would be sitting here if it was president barack obama we'd be pulling our hair out. it intro

it expresses the sentiment kevin brady. jeb hensarling saying the same thing.de policies ought to hit the right target it's china not american consumers everything the administration did last year. the great work of congress last year was focused on one thing. one, helping american consumers. and two creating certainty for the business community this trade policy, if there is one, is directly ant th lly anto that it's inconsistent with the great progress we made last year i was with a bunch of ceos this week, cane restaurant. some nrf ceos. they're saying the tax reform bill has been a great boost in the arm. they're investing in their business, their people they're expanding. we'll erase it all with a potential trade war of the tariffs. it makes no sense to go down the road when we have all the momentum >> there's two ways of looking at it. you can't do it in a -- an average economy. some people would say when you've got wiggle room because of much better gdp growth, maybe that's the time you address some of the long standing inequities that everyone sort of a

court, the house expected to vote on two bills, the adership bill and conservative goodlatte bill, kevin bradyays he is confident of passage. listen. >> we need a permanent solution, this is a strong bill that shuts the back door of illegal immigration, starts to fix the front door of legal immigration which needs it, keep families together and find a path to legal status for dreamers who earn it. >> but passage may not be possible. we saw a fight breakout between mark meadows and paul ryan, calling ryan's leadership will not ready for prime time but democrats aren't expected to support either bill and i lashing out at the executive order, sen. dianne feinstein tweeting it is extremely troubling the president asked executive order would require immigrant families with children to be detained indefinitely, it is the next step in the trump administration's larger agenda to eliminate basic protections for asylum-seekers and at the port of entry, people seeking safety from persecution would come legally to seek asylum here. maria: you are in the area where you can enter the country legally. can yo

joining us right now is congressman kevin brady of texas. it's great to see you.ictory lap right here. this has been one of the biggest accomplishments of yours, the president's. what are your reflections? >> look, every indicator is significantly better. i think the major change as a country, we've gone in six months from asking where are the jobs to where are the workers. and that is a problem but a great problem to have for a country that's trying to get -- been trying to get out of second gear for a decade. now we are and we can build off the momentum of tax reform. maria: it's true, james. we just saw the numbers, 7 million openings in terms of jobs right now and you don't have the people to fill those roles. james: we've been seeing so much lately about illegal immigration. a lot of controversy on the border. but what about legal immigration, whether it's people who want to come here to be new americans or they just want to be here temporarily to fill seasonal jobs. is there an appetite in the congress to say let's have legal immigration and more of it. >> i
