to make sure that we got 142 people additionally to have their fees waiverred and apply for daka before the october 5th deadline and that's included in this supplemental. and because we got asked a couple questions about other funding provided in the budget around immigration services over the past couple years championed by the mayor and this board we wanted to include a slide on that and all of the money that could have been used to fund those fee waivers had been exhausted which is why we authorized the department to move forward with additional funding. and that concludes my presentation and i'm happy to take any questions and thank you for your time today. >> supervisor cohen: thank you for your presentation and an incredibly thoughtful and high level. i don't know if there's any other level of detail that you want -- well, thank you. i'm glad that we had the foresight to set aside the $9 million. -- billion dollars. so thank you for that. colleagues, supervisor tang i see that you have a question? >> thank you so much. so i know that the item before us today is regarding a $9. $9.

paul ryan has sadse he doesn't want to do daka on any kind of spending bill. trump has sold paul ryan has senators the same thing. but it's difficult to envision a scenario where paul ryan brings the dream act or something similar to the floor as a stand-alone bill. particularly this year. there's not any time. they've still got to do emergency supplemental for all the hurricanes. there's a laundry list of things they have to do. they don't have time to do that as a stand-alone so then the question becomes do the democrats use their leverage because the republicans are going to need their votes on the spending bills? probably in the house because vote ativings usually against these sorts of things and definitely in the senate where chuck schumer is going to have the filibuster. so are the democrats going vote against these sorts out on that limb and say if you want our votes we're going to need daka on there? if you don't we're going to shut the government down and you will likely get blamed or we're going to get our dream act. host: our guests will be with us

with the dreamers, the young immigrants who face deportation under the president's undoing of the daka program. but on the issue of drugs and criminal gangs, i think our seeing in congress movement where folks have been coming together in a bipartisan way with interest over justice reform, criminal justice reform and trying to get away from that 80s, 90s strategy like a war on drugs that then has mandatory minimums for smaller offenses and has created a bit of a generation behind bars essentially. that legislation i think ebbs and flows in congress. there's support for it. but i don't see it as being a priority right now as something they would get done and especially the president's approach is sort of completely in another direction. but it's i want resting, i would say there's some powerful interests behind justice reform. the groups backed by the coke industries, the coke brothers who are influential players in republican and conservative politics are very interested in this issue. so you never know who gets the president's ear and sort of interject an issue and say sure border sec

caller: speaking about daka, daca and the wall should be on the same wall. the republicans had to use that as a wedge. a family of a border agent spent it in the funeral home because the drug cartel wanted to get the hirn across the border. 1100 americans die every day of a heroin overdose. i believe daca should be passed but also the wall should be built. as far as his twitter, i think he's great. he gives us his opinion straight from his mouth. that's what i've got to tell you. have a good day. host: how is that going to resonate in congress and the white house? guest: it's an issue that the president was very upset about recently when the mexican person charged with a crime was only convicted on a lesser offense. we could see the federal government try to pursue charges against him perhaps but the case was something that ally worked in tandem with wall esident's push for a and we wall and we continue he will talk about this. host: there was an effort made on case law too. where does that stand? guest: i don't know the answer right now. after the verdict c

the biggest question right now is whatever the solution is to daka, we don't know the specifics of it is going to -- is it going to poison his relationship with republicans or the speaker's relationship with his conference to the degree they can't do anything for the rest of the year and it becomes an internal battle they can't overcome or can they move on to something bigger. that's why the first three weeks, before the state of the union, will be so crucial what the direction of 2018 is all about. >> and the question you're hearing from a lot in the steve bannon wing is whether or not a deal on daca which a lot of people in the base all amnesty will depress the base which they need to come out in a midterm. nice to see you, phil. now our political panel, reporter rebecca berg, radio talk show shoest john phillips and republican strategist evan siegfried. john, this is a campaign promise from the president. when i say this, i'm talking about infrastructure. you talked to trump supporters every day opt radio. this is a priority for them? >> absolutely. i think it's wonderfully altruis
