chuck schumer, nancy pelosi and the hard left are the problem. uck schumer said today, i demand that the president abandon the wall. if you want to know what this is about. they want to abandon the wall, we want to build it. judge jeanine: why does chuck schumer hate the president so much? >> i'm not saying he hates the president as a person. but he hates the president's agenda. he's cow the's kowtowing to thel left. the people voted for the presidented to build the wall. they are on the wrong side of this issue. the three people coming in behind me, these congressmen. they understand what 016 was all about. we did lose the house in 2018. but i promise you this. the issue of securing our border is alive and well. but cluck schumer tells the presidential he decide hands he abandon the wall. president trump should listen to your opening statement and i believe he'll. i have never seen the president more determined than to build this wall. merry christmas. judge jeanine: congressman jim jordan, and matt gaetz standing by to discuss this critical toda

but it wasn't very easy to make sense of what they were hearing from chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, especially because of all the disruptions and interruptions and the wildly disorganized flow of that dialogue as it played out on tv. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi have obviously learned that they cannot treat donald trump the way they would treat any other president in the oval office. they have to be willing to interrupt him and turn away from him and play to the cameras when donald trump is playing to the cameras. and they did that today. they did a good job of that today. but they could do better. the democrats in that room today could have delivered a much more clarifying and much more humiliating moment for donald trump. when donald trump decided to publicly turn the discussion about funding the government into a threat to shutdown the government if the democrats didn't pay for his wall, the democrats should have said, we expect the president to fulfill his promise to obtain funding for the wall from mexico. chuck schumer should have actually put that in writing. nancy pelosi an

you played the clip of nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. was standing behind nancy pelosi when she claimed the president did not have the votes and he did. i watched nancy pelosi and chuck schumer with non-verbal cues back and forth to each other. this is a crisis. the president ran on that crisis. addressing that crisis. he's willing to take it on face forward for all to see. we have to fix it now. while your passion is shared by myself, the president and the american people, we need to focuseo that vitriol toward the folks in the senate who refused to address this problem and will not take a vote to protect the american people. judge jeanine: why woapt they take the vote? and why are they going home for christmas while the president is in the white house. >> he's not taking a vacation like the senators are. but i don't know why senate osmocrats are opposed to this. you played the clips of them in the past. hillary clinton, joe biden, barack obama, cluck schumer, they all voted for a fence in 2013. $230 billion we spend on opioid addiction.

with cameras rolling, fireworks erupt between president trump and democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. >>> not threatened to shut down the government. >> you want to shut down the government. >> let me say something mr. president. >> tonight, the brawl over funding for the wall. the president threatening a government shutdown. >>> brand new clues in the desperate search for a missing mom, vanishing after she was last seen at the grocery store on thanksgiving. >>> an air scare and a good samaritan who stepped up to help a woman in distress. some passengers questioning why the pilots didn't make an emergency landing. >>> a dangerous stunt caught on camera. a teenage boy seen hanging off the back of a bus. drivers shocked. people calling it reckless. >>> there's a new gathering storm barreling across the country from coast to coast. >> and a graduate getting up and walking to get his diploma. it's our inspiring america report you've got to see. >>> this is "nbc nightly news with lester holt." >>> good evening, everyone. breaking news as we come on the air. a deadly attack and a dramatic

chuck and nancy sitting there. as his -- what he thought would be his real foils. interrupting nancy pelosi. yelling, red in the face, at the senate minority leader chuck schumer. d nancy were able to get the president to say two things. i don't know he realized he said it. nancy pelosi got him to admit he doesn't have the votes to pass whatever it was he believes he needs to pass and chuck schumer got him to say in front of the american people, i would be proud to shut down the government. so if the government gets shut down, the president's made it clear who the american people should look to and blame. everyone, if it does happen, as the american people do, they blame everyone involved in it. but because he's the president of the united states, he will get the lions share of the blame. what we just witnessed was a "housewives" reunion without the table toss. >> susan page, when i think mitch mcconnell announced the senate is not in session monday and tuesday next week, coming up to the holidays, what are the american people supposed to think of their government at work or not at work? >> what struck me about this extraordinary meeting at the white house isn't

reporter: nancy pelosi and chuck schumer asked him to take that meeting private and he would not. nancy pelosi released a statement saying they left him in a god place after the meeting. the white house saying they are very far apart in disagreement over the border security. the looming deadline is december 21 and that is not going to move. some other stories we are following. the cfo from huawei has been granted bail. $7 million cash and $10 million in equity. this is canadian dollars. she was granted bail going forward in an extradition hearing back to the united states. that's the next step in the process. she'll be allowed to stay in vancouver at her house. the trump administration is asking the supreme court for an injunction to overturn the ban that the 9th circuit court put on his new rules saying anybody coming into this country illegally will not qualify for asylum. liz: we have a heavy news hour. thank you so much. we have news crossing that china is offering to cut tariffs on u.s. automobiles to 15% down from 40%. the dow is ricocheting around on all of that news. the do

i want to get started, in an hour president trump will sit down with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, the democratic leaders to talk about the border

the president writes i look forward to my meeting with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. in 2006, democrats voted for a wall and they were right to do so. today, they no longer want border security. they will fight it at all cost and nancy must get votes for speaker. but the wall will get built. the president goes on to say people do not yet realize how much of the wall including really effective renovation has already been built. if the democrats do not give us the votes to secure our country, the military will bring the remaining sections of the wall. they know how important it is. says the president. that was a long tweet.

david: it is a point, it feels that a game of hot potato because chuck schumer and nancy pelosi cap saying, chuck schumer saying 20 times you said he would shut down the government. and by the end donald trump said, i will own it, if i do not get what i need i will take responsibility for shutting down the government. does that hurt republicans politically? michael: sure, because the debates always end up with people saying the other person is the blame, but donald trump is taking the argument away from his own party in terms of the dispute. and it does look like he is going to hold out for the wall. and i think that, at least as far as everybody who does these counts in washington is concerned, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer have the votes in this case and the president doesn't. so if he does not get his wall and shuts the government down, we have that to look forward to. but what we have in our favor is they will do this the week before christmas, people will not want to go home with a government shutdown, going to christmas. david: it will be interesting when she is actually the speaker

nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are serious legislators. >> he showed up clearly wanting to perform, to put on a reality show for the american people and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer were there to get something done. and we continue to be here to get something done, to fund the government. that's our responsibility. and republicans right now have complete control of government. they need to be the individuals to get it done. but we want to do it in a responsible fashion. and if they need our votes, in order to fund the government, then we have to have a meeting of the minds in terms of our values. and i think it was donald trump who promised that mexico was going to pay for this wall. so go negotiate with mexico. don't waste billions of dollars of taxpayer money in order to build something that will not make our border more secure. it will be wasteful. and we could be spending that money to improve the quality of life of working families, middle class folks, senior citizens, the poor, the sick, and the afflicted in our nation. >> congressman hakeem jeffries, good to see you. thank you

the earlier meeting with chuck schumer, nancy pelosi part of all of this. a 600 point swing in the dow which is almost a daily occurrence. we'll talk about all the factors that triggered volatility, whether it is the oval office battle, whether "brexit," whether trade concerns. at the end of the day the dow closes 52 points lower. it hit a high of 368 points higher early in the session. the s&p 500 just short of ending in positive territory. melissa: let's make sure. there you go. connell: down by less than a point. trust me on this one. nasdaq up by 11 points. it was another crazy day. i'm connell mcshane. melissa: i'm melissa francis. i loved it, they rehashed the fight earlier. we saw the fight in the oval office. they came out, president reiterating his version what happened. the democrats did the same thing. we both saw the real fight, whatever. connell: something else, it really was. melissa: more on big market movers. first here is what is new at this hour. so the gloves are off, we told you president trump clashing with nancy pelosi and chuck schume

748-8002 as folks are calling in take us back to that white house meeting last week with chuck schumer nancy pelosi and the president and what that meeting did to the state of negotiations on this funding bill. guest: i have not gotten a good sense of whether that meeting help or hurt them. i think president trump and democratic leaders need to show their bases they were going to fight for their key priorities. for president trump that is a border wall, something he promised on the campaign trail although he did say mexico would pay for it at the time. leaders schumer and polo see feel this money could be better spent on other programs so i think that meeting held to get everyone out there and show their respective parties they were fighting. in terms of actually working through negotiations and of the get help that all. host: do you think that is what both sides were planning to do in that meeting. you don't think they went into this thinking we could take care of this whole funding situation a week and a half early? guest: i think there was hope they would be able to get a real negotiation going

chuck schumer in negotiations with president trump. and then you wonder, how much of this is really chuck schumer talking to president trump and then nancy pelosi the incoming speaker pulling the strings. because up until january 3rd, this is paul ryan's congress. after that it is nancy pelosi's congress. ralph norman is back with us. has the door reopened, sir, on your satellite window? you can hear us now? >> i can. leland: all right, your thoughts. mitch mcconnell said, basically, us working on this in the senate was useless. we're hitting the pause button. your thoughts. >> well, two things, leyland, it's not about money. the $5 billion is .125 of the total four trillion budget, money that we spend. and secondly it's not about semantics. nancy pelosi said we didn't have the votes in the house to give something to the senate to consider. 217-185 was the vote. 177 democrats, all of them voted ge against it. we've given the senate something and now what we have to do is see something on paper. in the real world, most families that negotiate for a house, i'm in the real estate business, if you don't like the price of a house you come back with

where are chuck schumer and nancy pelosi? >> sandra: and what options are on the table for a divided congress. we will discuss the showdown standoff with kellyanne conway, counselor to the president and get an update on the negotiations with steve scalise, the number three republican in the house. then, talks of recession amid strong holiday sales and concerns over the future of the fed chair. we will make sense of the recent market volatility with economist mohamed el-erian. plus, deaths on the border, to children in just over two weeks. >> certainly that's an absolutely tragic situation, something nobody ever wants to see happen. >> sandra: what changes need to come to care for the thousands of miners showing up at our southern border? end. >> our presence in syria was not open-ended and never intended to be permanent. >> sandra: president trump defends his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from syria. we will ask our sunday panel about the pushback to bring them home. all right now on "fox news sunday" ." >> sandra: and hel

nancy pelosi was saying he does not. what do you know about that and that front? >> it does not get past next friday, it is on chuck schumer's hands, nancy pelosi is trying to get the vote. if this goes to january it will be on her hands. we are going to see a standoff between nancy pelosi and chuck schumer more than the president. heather: a lot of republican saying they are willing to back the president and put something forward right now with at $5 billion number in it. >> $5 billion is 1/10 of 1% of the budget. think of the waste in government, this is something with a proven effect, keep the country safe, keeps -- this is a common sense solution to a major problem we have and we will see the republicans will back the president on this. he shouldn't back down and it will be interesting to see how this plays out between nancy and chuck. shannon: new information being released, the wall act. >> the wall act, $25 billion, coming forth with this. it will include the wall, border checkpoints, technology, security. quite frankly at this time it is a better deal for nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to go forward with $5 billion.

it is not the first time between the president and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. the deadline, december 21st to avoid a shutdown, the second point funding for border wall, the president wants $5 million, the democrats where we rejected that. democrats are on the cusp of taking back the house, nancy pelosi taking speakership again and they are feeling emboldened going into today's meeting. >> the only way to push a shutdown, and if donald trump refusals both of our proposals and demands $5 billion or more for a border wall. >> donald trump wants to throw a temper tantrum that is his decision. >> nancy pelosi and schumer with a joint statement saying this holiday season the president knows full well this does not have the votes to pass the house and senate and should not have bipartisan agreement. republicans are holding the line calling out democrats the rule of law. >> on the one day they lecture the president about rule of law and the mueller investigation and the next day they don't want to respect rule of law. they support illegal immigration. >> the powerful h

nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. but the president for his part remains optimistic. t this on twitter. he said i look forward to my meeting with chuck shierm -- schumer and nancy pelosi. he says in 2006 democrats voted for a wall and they were right to do so. today they no longer want border security. they will fight it at all costs. nancy must get votes for speaker but the wall will get built. he goes on to say this. people don't realize how much of a wall, including really effective renovation has already been built. if the democrats don't give us the votes to secure our country the military will build the rest of the section of the wall. there is question if they can build a wall. maybe they can help secure it by way of national guard. that's another issue. still the wall is said to be and rightly so, the sticking point. democrats coming into power as you know and so we've talked a bit about this idea of a shutdown, sandra. if that happens the calculation is they might be the ones to suffer for it. >> the president by the way was willing to put a lot of things on t

together, president trump to set with house minority leader nancy pelosi and funding the border wall among top items on the agenda, chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, offer to 1.3 billion but short of the president's 5 billion-dollar request. google's turn on the hot seat today, ceo sundar pichai headed to capitol hill and testify before house judiciary committee, fox business will bring you that live 10:00 a.m. eastern. we will tell you what to expect this morning. losing crown as most streamed song for the 20th century, we will tell you what tune knocked it off top spot. joining me to break it down dagen mcdowell, lindsey bell and beyond sport global fox news contributor john layfield. >> brexit, potential government shutdown, it'll be nuts. >> positive reaction to some of the trade news and especially in europe, all in the green after yesterday's brexit. maria: we will see how it closes, market's volatility has been unreal. dagen: trading off headline, commentary, anybody, everybody coming out of the white house and i think that that's going to be the case other than federal reserve meeting in the month of december the only pie

let's go to "daily caller" editor vince collagnse. >> i love italian sausage nancy pelosi and chuck schumer havep incredible poker faces in general. this is sign what president trump routinely capable of doing, putt traditional washington denizens on heels. bringing cameras into the negotiation, nancy pelosi look disjarred. she didn't understand why cameras here in negotiation. to say that out loud, most voters including that might sympathize, easy there, we want to see what the conversation looks like. neil: it was revealing. i didn't know the press would eavesdrop on us here. president blasted a lot with dicey relationship with the press. that revealed a big fly in the ointment there. i always see things, not always, but a lot of times through the prism of the markets here. they are kind of nonplussed by this. things could change in three hours. they're more focused on trade. trade will dictate future of these markets whether we strike a deal with china or we don't. i think closer to a potential government shutdown that might change but what are your thoughts? >> i think that is probably

this was chuck and nancy, schumer and pelosi, coming in and setting that tone. t a clear message, look, there is a new sheriff in town and this is the way we're going to operate. >> we learned nancy pelosi had a quick follow-up phone call with the president. no agreement yet. if the shut down happens, we're talking federal offices, even post offices shutting down just a few days before christmas. we'll have more on the fallout from this saga on "start here" later this morning. listen for it on apple podcasts or your favorite podcasting app. kendis? janai? >> all right. brad, that oval office dustup may have paved the path for nancy pelosi to regain her old job as house speaker. she reportedly is on the verge of a deal to gain the support of a handful ever democrats who opposed her leadership. sources say she is poised to limit her speakership to four more years at the most and support term limits for the top three positions in the caucus. >>> the time may we running out for three people missing inside an abandoned coal mine in west virginia. the man and two women

i think that he was outmaneuvered by chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. they got him to commit to the government shut down, it is his fault. >> martha: he volunteered that. he is been saying that for a long time. i think it is a principle perhaps with him, he believes that it is okay to put the brakes on the governments for 5 minutes. we all know how those work. they should on the government for 24 to 48 hours and anyone who perhaps didn't get a paycheck for the 24 hours gets paid in full as soon as the places are back open. this idea that there is thousands of government workers were suffering during shutdown, do you think that that is the reality? >> i do. i have a little radio show and cleveland, today i had a woman named judy on. she has three children, two of them served in the military, another was in the navy. they all have jobs in government. homeland security or interior, they -- if the government shuts down, they will not get paid to christmas time. they will eventually, these people live paycheck to paycheck. it will eventually get paid. the go

he looked very unhappy at the end, because chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, they went toe-to-toe to him. what mike pence was thinking. he sat there very quietly and just like maybe -- if i don't say anything no one will notice i'm here. but that's -- get ready. buckle your seat belt for next year. >> we'll see more of that. bianna, what did you think? >> well, look, my focus was on nancy pelosi, who is really walking a tight rope there, on the one hand, wanting to show democrats in the house that she knows how to negotiate with this president, that they're familiar with one another. but on the other hand, she also had to prove she wasn't going to be taking any of the man 'splaining. there were times when he seemed to be sympathetic with her. i don't know if that was out of condescension or he was genuine when he suggested she's in a tight place right now, not sure if she will have enough votes, though most people think she will, to remain speaker. she said, listen, don't worry about me. you don't have to account for me. that was a strong moment. then you heard her, you know, say, listen,

chuck schumer and nancy pelosi are experienced.just showed why someone like plos pelosi needs to be td of the democrats. she stood up to the president. i've never experienced anything like this in public. i've been in meetings with the speaker and leader at times with president obama and even with president trump and it gets heated at times and they push back, but nothing, nothing like this. >> but how much of it was a show, nadeam? and i don't mean just the president but the two democratic leaders. >> the two democrats really wanted to go in and get this negotiation moving. they want to clear the decks before they start the next congress. you go through the dance of, you know, we're going to have a productive meeting, we're going to talk about border security, we're going to talk about funding the government, we're going to look for bipartisan solutions to get this thing done and then behind closed doors you do your business. i think leader pelosi and leader schumer were surprised by how the president proceeded. look, i've been --

nancy pelosi said there wasn't the votes. indeed there were the votes in the house to do that. here's what we have to do. at some point chuck schumer and nancy pelosi and those that work closely with them have to come up with a counterproposal or not, and then they can say zero is the number, but most americans do not believe that zero for border security >> what are you willing to accept in such a counterproposal? >> obviously the number that the president has put out there or that has been reported that they put out, i haven't been in those rooms. i've had discussion the, as you know, with the president and his team directly. those numbers are in that 2.5 billion to $3 billion range. >> besides the money, take the money aside. >> we're talking about border security. all immigration reform starts with border security. i mean, at some point, you know, if we go back to reagan, all the way up to today, you have to secure your border eventually in order to have a legal immigration system that works. >> show far the dreamers said they don't want to be part of the deal, if it comes down to it, would you be okay, allowing legal status fo

president trump is scheduled to meet with democratic leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer tomorrow. mike emanuel is on capitol hill. mike, how much pressure is there on that meeting tomorrow? >> reporter: dana, it's huge. we'll be listening carefully to those democratic leaders, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, and to president trump and the white house team after they sit down tomorrow. so far, the democrats are talking tough. >> president trump wants to throw a temper tantrum and shut down the government over christmas over the wall, that's his decision. >> reporter: this meeting comes at a delicate time for nancy pelosi. she's trying to round up the final votes to be speaker in the new congress, and some of her base won't want her to cut a deal. a key republican leader says it's time for democrats to get serious about border security and illegal immigration. >> we've had bills on the house floor to address the daca problem in every single democrat's voted no on all of those measures. oh, by the way, when nancy pelosi had a super majority, when president obama was president, she never

. >> where are chuck schumer and nancy pelosi? they're not stalking right now. sandra: what options are on the table. we'll discuss the showdown standoff with kellyanne conway and get an update on the negotiations with steve scalise, the number three republican in thousand. then, talks of recession, amid strong holiday sales and concerns over the future of the fed chair. we'll make sense of the recent market volatility with an economist. plus deaths on the border, two children in just over two weeks. >> certainly this is an absolutely tragic situation. sandra: what changes need to come to care for the thousands of minors showing up at you our southern border. and -- >> our presence in syria was not open-ended and was never intended to be permanent. sandra: president trump defends his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from syria. we'll ask our sunday panel about the pushback to bring them home, all right now on fox news sunday. and hello again from fox news in washington. we're now into the second week of a partial government shutdown. with no end in sight, and co

chuck schumer who we expect the hear from in a few moments ago. mitch mcconnell, walking into the chamber said a few moments ago it is up to the president, chuck schumer and nancy pelosi to work out. we are out. then he went over his talking points, why border security is necessary. we heard that over the last weeks, months, maybe even years. but the one flaw in that argument is that mitch mcconnell is the leader of the senate that unanimously passed a spending bill that would essentially give the president $1.6 billion not for a wall or a slat wall or any other kind of wall but for enhancing existing border security. that already passed the senate. they didn't bother to have a roll call vote. it does fend on president trump. as he stated in the infamous photoon where he argued openly with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi in the oval office last week. notwithstanding the video that he posted on twitter this week, saying it is all up to the democrats they owe us the votes. >> jeff bennett joins us from the white house. jeff, it could seem all of this is going to be done, the negotiating not so much on the senate floor, but behind closed doors potentially with the preside

where are chuck schumer and nancy pelosi? they are not even talking right now. >> meanwhile a sense of urgency among republicans who still control the house for a few days at least. right now that may be missing on their part. congressman louis gomert of texas said without concessions on a border wall, the president should continue the shutdown indefinitely. >> because we keep seeing people losing their lives without one. >> how long, january, february? >> until hell freezes over. >> until hell freezes over. >> meanwhile, politico is reporting that a coalition of liberal groups including the aclu are pushing democratic leaders to deny the president money for his fence all together rather than give the department of homeland security a year of funding at the say level at last year. i'm joined now by democratic congressman john garamendi of california and christian whiteman a senior advisor to presidents trump and bush. we had a little reporting from some liberal groups now telling house democrats, hey, no money at all. this $1

we reported here on that showdown in the oval office, president trump and chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, the democratic leaders of the senate and the house. onretonight, the questi s,ma shut down right before christmas? and who will be blamed if it does? it would affect millions of americans just as the holidays arrive, and abc's senior national correspondent terry moran with what he's learned tonight. >> reporter: tonight, congress is looking to the white house to see if president trump really will shut down government if he doesn't get money for his border wall. >> if the white house has a plan, they're keeping it to themselves. >> reporter: democrats made it plain, trump would own a shutdown. >> i think the american people recognize that we must keep government open. that a shutdown is not worth anything, and that you should not have a trump shutdown. you have a white house -- >> a what? did you say trump? oh. i was going to call it a pelosi shutdown. >> you have the white house, you have the senate -- >> reporter: the president says he's willing to take the mantle of political respo

chuck schumer offered. this hour we're expected to hear live from nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. they will be on "the beat." and how is this affecting your stock market. the stock market continuing to plunge among the shutdown threat. 500 points down. and also today, republican lawmakers, they've had it. they are blasting their president, donald trump, for many things, including siding with vladimir putin, instead of the own advice he got from his own pentagon advisers on syria. and then the story that we've been following because it matters in many ways, this justice department in turmoil over again, yes, the russia-related mueller probe. donald trump acting attorney general now rejected the kind of ethics recommendation that jeff sessions followed in order to recuse himself, saying, no he will oversee the mueller probe and later breaking news on the man who would be permanent acting attorney general. we'll get to that. but first, let me bring in a panel on this wild night. sam seeder and a long time washington watcher. eleanor clift, from the daily beast, lanny davis, who advis

characterized, that donald trump was the stubborn one for insisting on border funding but not nancy pelosi or chuck schumerting on not having border funding. it is interesting, isn't it. >> it is, the mead was covering if trump was stubborn. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer were the fighters in this scenario. that trump was acting like a child. and the meeting itself didn't show that. what you saw was actual disagreement in policy between democrats and republicans, and the american people surely appreciated seeing that fight in public rather than behind closed doors like it was last time. neil: absolutely. >> you know what was also shown in this meeting actual hypocrisy on behalf of pelosi and schumer, they claimed afterward in a press conference, they wanted transparency. they wanted this democratic congress to be transparent. during the meeting they claimed they wanted the fight behind closed doors. they didn't want to fight with the president in front of the cameras. that is not transparent. neil: by the way, a little rich, like me offering people diet advice. i'm not going to go there but for democrats w

government for this, hogan. >> what he i is proud to do is stand up for american people nothing nancy pelosi, chuck schumeruck schumer and nancy pelosi refuse to make eye contact with the president, they talked, you know, via -- via any one verbal queues back-and-forth to each other but it is very clear what nancy pelosi wants she mentioned the american people multiple times chuck schumer mention american people multiple times but policies don't defend the american people, they don't support the american people, when they talk about the border they are standing up for people who are here, illegally, and unlawfully hundreds of thousands of them they refuse to stand up for the hundreds of millions of american people that is very clear in the policies they want, they themselves hide behind walls locked doors armed guards won't let the american people do the same, all we're asking for, is to protect the american communities and families that exist in this country many quite frankly are legal aliens, excuse me legal grants who come to this country we want to support, protect them democrats want to support peopl
