indeed daca status is not like an amnesty or entitlement but something that must be kept up hundreds of daca recipients serve in the armed forces like one whose mother brought him and his brother from indonesia to philadelphia and did not know about his undocumented status until he applied for a drivers license. last fall he said he was deeply affected by age 12 by united flight 93 in his home state of pennsylvania on september 11. but he could not join the army out of high school because of his undocumented status. because of daca, he couldn't list but both his status and his ability to serve his country hang in the balance during this debate. many of my colleagues have spoken openly and eloquently about the dreamers have come forward to tell their stories. i associate myself with herrk remarksav and then to listen to their stories and perspective over the past few months i have had the opportunity to meet several very impressive dreamers living in rhode island telling me what daca means to them and their families. woman studying at brown university said daca said she could say here

legislation that could threaten overeager public prosecutors with prosecution themselves and they want an amnesty for the illicit funding that's flowed to political parties. the judges and public prosecutors who are under siege are counting on popular support so far mass protests have been able to shield judicial authority against political attack the next general elections in brazil are scheduled for october two thousand and eighteen but many ordinary brazilians don't want to wait that long and are demanding that elections be brought forward they've received support from local artists like the tunnel below so and milton nasi mental the yearning for a fresh start is strong. much of their hope rests. on the lava shot to a task force the investigation has even served as inspiration for a feature film for many brazilians the lava shot to investigators are the true heroes of democracy. you have one on this story is tailor made for a film. and. there's no end to it something new emerges every day you could say the script was written by the real life place and then more creative than we could ever be t

before long immigration activists are going to realize the president is the only one arguing for an amnestyhat can get passed. charles: we had a guest on earlier who said only immigrants who came near chains were slaves. it seems like the progressive talking points are in place. first you make it racist and you chip away until perhaps works in the public's mind. there is not a lot of time for that campaign. it feels like it's do or die. this is the moment of truth. the democrats care about the daca recipients. shouldn't they step up to the plate now? >> that's the logic of republicans. the plan the white house put forward is not appealing to conservatives. it was a little too generous to democrats. it extended that pathway to citizenship for the dreamers. not just the 600,000 or so currently enrolled in daca. so the republicans have gone above and beyond what they originally said they would be willing to put on the table. charles: if there is a daca deal, which party benefits most of in the mid-term election. >> i think republicans will benefit the most of. this is from its moment of incept

is one of the core issues and ann wrote an entire book about the president because he had a very clear message. but when you're granting 2 million people amnestythis isn't legal protected status. this is citizenship. that is vastly different. you become an american. and you know, richard is right in that a majority of americans, many different polls have said that they agree that dreemedz ds shouldn't be deported. that's interesting. i think that both parties are completely paralyzed by fear. the democrats voted for the 2006 border security act what was essentially a wall. and ann is right that there was a lot of rhetoric if for a long time from the left about limiting immigration. and so they've done such a die metric shift on this issue that closer we get to the midterm, they don't know what to do, republicans don't know what to do. there are splits in both parties that are absolutely paralyzing them. if you say 1.8 million get citizenship for the wall, the democrats are foolish not to take that. imminent do main i domain is gog up that wall, especially in texas with a majority of the land is privatet privately owne. steve: would you rather

our existing immigration laws enforced, not new elaborate promises designed to sugarcoat and pass an amnestyill for illegal aliens. >> again, i would push back a little bit because these were children that were brought here. no fault of their own and the 1.8 million is an approximate number. we know that there are daca-eligible young men and women out there that did not come forward and register, so to make sure all of them are included, if they would like to participate in a pathway forward, then they would need to come forward. the large number, while it may seem large to some, we are thinking at least it's all inclusive. and we won't have to go back and readdress some of the concerns later on. but again, these are members of our community. we do value them, and we want to make sure we are doing the right thing by them. >> shannon: it sounds like there is some bipartisan happiness on the senate side that the leader, senator mcconnell is going to open us up for amendments and out to be a very collaborative process. we know it will take time but we will track your proposal as it works throug

this is an amnesty bill. amnesty is the wrong way to go and we're not going to flinch off that.we're all recognizing that the fact of the matter that the president and congress is to do some sort of limited amnesty for the dreamer. i think in that context in terms of getting a victory, chain migration is just a commonsense one. we don't want to be a cheap date, but we want to get to yes. do you think the conservatives will be as agitated against this bill as they have in the past? >> i'm sure there will be some including my friend mike who opposed the 2013 bill. i have no doubt they would oppose some compromise. president trump has an opportunity to do something which no president since reagan has done. pass real immigration reform. that is possible. that's what the senate is going to begin debating this week. it is going to take compromise. and, no, not everybody will be happy with the final result. i'm sure there are democrats who will not like some of the concessions they'll have to make on border security, and there will be some conservatives that you're giving a path way to

. >> if you were to say hey we promise to build a wall, if you do an amnesty for daca, well i think a lot of guys like me would say what guarantee do we have that wall is ever going to be built? julie: ellison barber has the latest from washington for us tonight. >> sources tell fox news republicans are looking at a short-term bill that funds the government through march 23rd but lawmakers have not reached an agreement yet. even the republican party there are disagreements. defense hawks don't want another short-term bill they say it hurts military readiness. >> the secretaries were very clear and direct about the imperative of getting a budget agreement in place so that we have no -- we can end the series of cr's and threats of shutdown. this budget dysfunction has a human cost, and our military is bearing the brunt of it. julie: democrats blame republicans for the dysfunction. republicans blame adam -- blame democrats over the dysfunction. but democrats say the disagreement isn't about immigration alone. >> if there never were one dreamer in the world and thank god there are many, w

tax: in terms of the cuts, many were talking about using an amnesty for corporate profits that were beingd offshore. to use that for infrastructure because that was a one-time shot in the arm to the u.s. economy, and that did not happen. most of that money seems to have gone into the overall plugging the gap of this plan. but you also focused on stock buybacks and how companies are with stock buybacks now this tax plan while all of the attention is going into the pittance as their giving them bonuses to their workers. >> exactly. those bonuses have proven to be very, very tiny relative to the amount of profit the companies are now sinking into buying back their shares of stock, which is a technique used by companies to artificially raise stock prices. why are they doing this? largely because ceo pay is so intimately related to share eraes that ceos, even in an like this, artificially keep them up or keep them from falling as much as they would by buying back the shares of stock. this has nothing whatever to do with the promise -- jujuan: have they increased in e past year compared to prev
