what else did we note from the speech that rang false, caitlin? >> i think this idea that thousands of children are illegally brought to the united states. i think he said over the years, which was a little confusing. but regardless, again, you know, i'm going back to this point that the children who we see crossing the border at this point either on their own or with parents they're coming here to seek asylum, which is a legal process. i think in order to sort of cut through the president's speech and many things we've heard him say during the shutdown and during this discussion over the wall, you have to sort of understand that when he uses one word, he actually means another when he says an immigrant he very often means anybody who is coming to the united states for anything, even in a legal way. when he says the southwest border, he often means people coming through ports of entry. people who show up in airports and cross by water. it's a growing list of terms i've had to redefine in my mind, which is, of course, a lot to ask of the american p

caitlin emma is budget & appropriations reporter at politico. could break the deadlock. the prospects don't look good at all. what the democrats are essentially voting on right now are bills to keep about a quarter of the federal government open, which is currently shut down, while keeping the department of homeland security funded at current levels through to february the eight. this package they are voting on right now as we are talking includes no new money from water wall funding, which president donald trump has been demanding. —— border wall. so it faces almost zero prospects of getting through a republican—controlled senate, and the president is not going to sign a bill like that. of course, the us system of government has checks and balances built into it. 0ne party is meant to frustrate another party. —— part is meant to frustrate another part. do you just see deadlock from here on, or is there a possibility for movement? it looks like a deep—seated stalemate at this point. congressional leaders are going to the white house tomorrow. th
