voters say the congress should require everify for all hiring something they can't claim ignorance when they hire illegals. voters are not just opposed to illegal immigration. a strong majority wants to cut all immigration, including legal across the board. this country admits a million legal immigrants a year. 60% of those asked would like to cut the number in half. if not more. political terms the numbers are huge. republican would kill for support on all kind of other issues. all kinds of other issues. restricting immigration is more popular than defunding planned parenthood or cutting taxers for the wealthy or cracking down on marijuana, bombing distant countries. more popular than all of that. it's also the main thing that president trump ran on last year and the central reason he won in the upset victory. this should not be hard. a month ago the republicans united to pass unpopular tax reform bill. they should come together to pass a far more popular form of immigration reform. somehow, that is not happening. but the opposite is happening. a number of senators repaired to cave com

there was one requiring all federal contractors and subcontractors to use everify went in september in september 2009 under president bush. in petaluma, joe vazquez, kpix 5. >>> 7-eleven has more than 8,000 stores across the country. the company says individual franchise owners are responsible for hiring and verifying work eligibility. >>> time now 4:41. one bay area city is seeing an influx of pickpockets targeting transit riders. we'll speak with a former thief. handbags. it happene >>> a group of thieves using box and wire cutters made off with $100,000 worth of handbags. it happened monday night at the nordstrom department store at stanford shopping center in palo alto. police say shoppers were there as 7 people ran in, snipped security wires and stole 49 gucci handbags. the heist took less than a minute. the thieves took off in getaway cars. >>> the scary feeling suddenly discovering you no longer have your wallet and it's happening more often in one bay area city thanks to a spike in pickpocketing. andria borba shows us the tricks and where you're most likely to become a victim.

everify is a great thing. i don't think the other side will come along with tacka. >> lou: why not? >> they want more than daca. it is it a problem. they want the dream act and amnesty. >> lou: a little history here, congressman for the audience don't know. two people in the room. senator durbin and along with senator feinstein, three i should say and senator menend inez. and we could have had a judge in 2006 in the kennedy, mccain comprehensive immigration deal. we could have had a deal except the left in the person much two of those three people insisted on chain migration. and so there is the history of it and we have 20 of 30 million immigrants that come here legally. and 20 million for americans don't know, were brought in as immigrants, but brought in as part of the chain mi grapgz. it is really a stunning impact. most imgrajts come as chain migration rather than sought out for skills and talent and education level. >> you are right, lou. that is a huge problem and that is it a remnant from the teddy kennedy chain immigration policy in the 1960s. we have gone for three generat

with all 11 million people, who have spent the best decades becoming part of our society, include everify. a lot that goes into the. -- if you just want a deal on the dreamers, dreamers for border security that was the deal, larding it up, was not. trish: leave it there, good to see you thank you. >> good to see you. >> all right. so, who did president say about national security, and north korea? florida republican congressman matt gates in next. trish: one of the things that made speech special is president's ability to weave the stories together of all different people he had joining him as his guests, otto warmbier's parents who were there. an emotional moment, they lost their son to a crazy north korean dictator, then you had -- that is them that moment, whether they stood, you had north korean who escaped on the crutches and suffered tremendous tragedy. is now broadcasting from south korea in to north every day. the truth about that country. and president was able to weave the stories together and signal that we mean business with north korea. so what does that mean? what do we do r

with all 11 million people, who have spent the best decades becoming part of our society, include everifyinto the. -- if you just want a deal on the dreamers, dreamers for border security that was the deal, larding it up, was not. trish: leave it there, good to see you thank you. >> good to see you. >> all right. so, who did president say about national security, and north korea? florida republican congressman matt gates in next. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. i tabut with my back paines, i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. on thousands of hotels, cars and things to do. like the royalton riviera cancun for 54% off. everything you need to go. expedia. we use so why do we pay touters thave a phone connected. when w

steve: what about everify?ify and other legislation on the hill. i believe goodlat included information that may include that there is a smart way to go. system in place. show it works. used by all employers in the country. brian: some people want to say so-called experts. wall doesn't work or surveillance is just as good. or that is very old school. it's all about politics. tell me, tom, from what you could tell and knowing the border like you know, what roles does the wall play barrier play in stopping illegal immigration. >> people that say the wall doesn't work they obviously don't understand how operations on the border work. look, i started my career border patrol 1984, i'm an old guy. 1984, san diego sector there is thousands of aliens being arrested on daily basis coming across the soccer fields down near tijuana. once they built the wall in san diego, the numbers declined significantly. every place that built the wall, whether san diego, whether it's eastern san diego county. whether huma arizona, el p

cen willy we got the wall, plus, we plug the hole on the job magnets by using everify, and we stop chainon. >> you admit he's not fulfilling a full promise here? >> i would admit it is not a complete brick and mortar wall which people i do believe envision who attended his rally, so -- >> i'm glad you said that, when people were saying build that wall, they weren't saying, build that fence or put that drone in the air. he did say, you have to admit, he's going to build a giant wall, with a big beautiful door and no one knows how to do it like him. and bring it in under budget and make mexico pay for it. >> one thing he said in the meeting, he said, we can do this for less than the seven years, it will take less time than that and less money. he was a little bit, in terms of showing some flexibility on it. i do think that the base republicans want to make sure that there is a real serious border security arrangement. >> i got to get steve in here for time purposes. is that -- is he backtracking on a promise here? >> well, of course he is, i don't know whether this is strategic ambivalence

i want to be able to talk about everify, an i want to be able to talk about amnesty, which i am fine to the talk about and i will suggest a solution to this in a moment, but i also want to be able to talk about a designing an immigration system that looks like somebody put it together on purpose. i mean, it is something like merit-based color-blind system like canada or australia has. i want to talk about the diversity lottery, and i want to talk about the advantages and the disadvantages of the chain migratio migration, and so if we want to discuss it, we will. >> and senator, you have are a whole barrel of the ideas and the policies that you would love to have be pushed through, but again, can we just hammer home the significance of the fact that, the fact that you have democrats talking about building a wall, and i had luis gutierrez sitting next to me a member of the hispanic congressional caucus saying that he will build the wall himself, baecause he wants to protect the dreamers so badly, and isn't that what the party wants, and the beginning point for a deal? >> no. no. >> why

and we should only consider doing that if there are law enforcement end chain migration and mandate everify we don't get everything we want to secure our borders, including the wall, then we walk away from the deal. we don't need to do daca. >> tucker: not only do it but put it right to the very top of the list of priorities of the u.s. congress before everything. before the opioid crisis literally shortening the life expectancy of middle america. we need to do.or this i feel sorry for some of the daca recipients for sure. i'm not attacking them.i' it's not clear why, if you have any questions about it, you should take a moral lecture from a republican senator who suggests that you are the cynical heartless one when you say raise questions about the effect on american citizens. how do we get to place where republican senators are lecturing us how they are far better people than we are because they are for amnesty. how did that happen exactly? >> that's a great question. as i'm sure you know, tucker,, lindsey graham and this group of six senators came up with a even more a generous mega amne

which would end chain migration, make this a merit based system, end the diversity loiter and install everifyat's wrong with those ideas? >> let's talk about some of the other things that this administration. >> tucker: do you agree with those ideas? >> the devil rays right now has increased the amount of people that they are trying to deport and is talking about leaving 800,000 young people who have lived here like my friend nancy, the age of 3, trying to keep getting education. >> tucker: support people here illegally. if i show up at harvard and enroll illegally and tart taking classes fnches somebody is here by the age of 3 and didn't choose to be here and that's all they know yes that sim moral. >> tucker: they are not going to deport daca citizens. people here committing crimes guy they have to be here. >> since the obama administration the people being detained who have not. >> tucker: you haven't answered any of my questions. >> i want to treat the country with the love and respect you treat your college with. >> absolutely. i want a country that sticks to its values. >> tucker: right

and we implement everify. we have to do those things first. any of the discussion and the debate and the bring in the emotion about this population and others just drives more illegal immigration to occur while everything is in limbo. that's not what we want. >> reporter: so you are deeply disappointed in what president trump did? >> i'm disappointed in the white house's proposal. because i want -- i want to stand firm on what the american citizens were sold on the campaign trail. >> reporter: the next morning, my team and i were back on the road. traveling next door to new mexico. making our way down to the santa teresa border patrol station. here in new mexico, where there are already miles and miles of barriers and fences, there are still more than 75,000 undocumented immigrants. we met up with republican congressman steve pearce. he's running for governor this year. and stumped for trump in 2016. but thinks building a wall is a waste of money. you do not believe in a big $25 billion, $35 billion wall. >> no, no. money could be spent for so

recommended that we should do some things with regard to employers and their ability to more easily use the everifyed individuals they would be protected if there was an error in the immigration status, and finally, i thought that the hb2 visas had to be part of the discussion, but it did not mean they would not work with him or they didn't have a good start. there are other people in the senate who feel they have a better approach, but we have to get into the same room and agreeing what we want, and that is to get the ib shoe behind us, and actually help some some of the young people that we believe is good in the workforce long term. >> and absolutely. you look at the data out there, and they are contributing billions of dollars right now to the u.s. economy. senator round, thank you very much for your time. we hope to keep in touch with you and hopefully the government shutdown compromise comes soon. >>> the panel is back with us now. paul, what stood out from what you heard? >> first off, there is a e perfectly reasonable senator with a perfectly reasonable set of expectations, why can't they s

kate's law which we passed off this floor is inside there goes into guest workers, everify and much otherh broader immigration we form bill but also deals with daca as well. >> harris: i want to be fair senators labrador, and mcfolly on this bill with goodlat as well. toward the end of the meeting that we got to see before the reporters were booted out but it was a lot to take in 55 minutes live. where was the president finally in the idea of what will be talked about before next friday the government shut down date, the deadline, january 19th in terms of immigration? what will be included? the presidents was exactly at the end of the meeting where he was at the beginning. first of all he said we have a funding debate going on with our military and we all know the challenges for our military and what's happening around the world. so what he asked is let's not play politics with the military. let's get our budget agreement and mo forward with that but to deal with daca because that's not until march and with the recent court case maybe that's a little later we said to deal with daca, let's

that doesn't include universal everify, that doesn't end chain migration and the diversity lottery anduild a wall, why would anybody ever vote republican again? honestly? >> well, i think, again, this is our opportunity, if you have ideas, that are, republican immigration reforms, the president clearly said, now's the time to put those ideas on the table. these are issues that we i have been talking about in our conference for years. as a matter of fact, you know, most of the illegal immigration in this country doesn't even come through our southern border.io it comes through our airports. people overstaying their visas here illegally and we don't have any biometric capability to be able tora track them and figure out where they have gone. >> tucker: would you support a deal that doesn't end chain migration for daca recipients? >> again, let's see what the bill looks like because i think these are some of the priorities that the president has clearly laid out in the past and in believe will clearly lay out with republican support as we look ahead to the next few days. >> tucker: yeah.

we have a mandatory everify and guest worker program. these are very reasonable things that are really we're asking to tie together with any daca solution. and we're asking for a democrat colleagues to get more reasonable and start negotiating with us in good faith. >> jon: some democrats have said it's daca and nothing else. no strings attached. you have got to pass daca. have you got to find a way to allow the dreamers to stay in this country. what do you say? >> it's not happening. first of all, they are trying to hold our budget negotiations hostage to this issue. and it's our military that is suffering the most. january 19th is when the government funding ends. and our military needs certainty and funding in a readiness crisis we are in so they can keep us safe. i think it's unbelievable. i brought it up at the white house meeting that they are now trying to hold our military hostage so they can protect people who are here illegally. it doesn't make any sense and the american people aren't going to go for it the deadline is march 5t

the everify system to determine applicants immigration status was closed buhn. irs furloughs delayed more than $1 million in loan and mortgage applications. delayed more than 850 fda inspections and fda approval of medical products, devices and drugs. and delayed more than 4 billion in tax refunds as well as the start of the new tax season. this time, however, they promise the national parks would be open. staff remains an open question. joining me is jake scherman, hugh hewitt and we were talking about the blame game taking place over the last 24 hours. walk us through the calculus that democrats in particular face as all of this proceeds. >> i want to say at the top that it looks like if schumer is going to the white house with the president, which he is, and we all know that at this point, i would imagine there is something in the offing. something that schumer has to offer or that trump and schumer spoke about beforehand and that this is going to bring us closer to a resolution and away from a government shutdown. that being said, democrats and republicans a

elected to us do which is border security wall, end chain migration, get rid of the visa lottery, everifyy, if the focus is there and then we deal with daca, then that something the american people will accept and something consistent with the man date in the 2016 election. if it's the other way around, which is what mr. durbin wants and what senator graham wants which is a focus on daca first and then a little pretend security and a little pretend border wall and pretend chain migration. that's a different animal and i won't be for that and neither will lots of conservatives more importantly lots of americans. so, it's all about where the priority is, where the focus is and it's got to be on border security. steve: let's see what happens. it officially rolls out on monday. congressman, thank you very much for joining us today from columbus, ohio. >> you bet. thank you. steve: you bet. all right. coming up on this friday, the economy is booming in the united states, but apparently some democrats don't want to hear it larry elder here with a reality check on making america rich again ♪ mon

the everify legislation, the legal work force act, approved by the judiciary committee, as the support of the u.s. chamber of commerce and immigration enforcement groups. it provides employers with an efficient and workable system to verify their employees' work status. and the requirement for employers to verify their workers only applies to new employees, not existing workers. members should hesitate to support any immigration reform package that does not include requiring employers to use everify. congress should put the interest of american workers first. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. he house will be in order. members please remove your conversation from the house floor. he house will be in order. for what purpose does the gentleman from colorado seek recognition? without objection the gentleman from colorado is recognized for one minute. mr. polis: i was gravely concerned last week when attorney general sessions removed the guidance of the cole memo regarding the way they the department of justice treats marijuana in jurisdictions where it's legal for
