hill: come on. [applause] anita: i also want to thank my fellow honorary, now my new model for how to do well in the world and also to do great work. so, now, we are all classmates. you have done exactly what you set out to do just a few short years ago. that is, you are ready to exit wesleyan with your degree in hand. congratulations. i have about 10 minutes to speak to you on this day and a few things i have on my mind, so i want to get started. the first thing i want to do is to salute this class. class of 2018, during your time here, you have seen, at neighboring universities, violence on campuses in ways that we have never seen before. you have also experienced great social and political turmoil, i can i would call this time uncertain. let me tell you what i mean by turmoil. the social and political turmoil. specifically, i want to talk about the fact that you in your time on campus have seen the legalization of same-sex marriage. at the same time, almost like a whip saw, you have seen the rise

in this case his own party when he's on the hill. do you agree? >> i mean the problem is he's negotiating against himself at this point. i mean, as kevin was saying a minute ago, taking out the politics for a second, what we're seeing on the border is inhumane. talking about tent cities in the middle of summer to take car of children, there is -- i don't think there's anybody in the country that looks at that -- i shouldn't say there's anybody, very many that look at that and say that's an optimal solution. our colleague, lee ann caldwell was talking to republicans on capitol hill on friday and has a story on nbc news.com right now how concerned republicans are about the potential blowback from this. the truth is president trump is the one that attempted to end daca, essentially unilaterally and also the person who is enforcing this border policy of separating children from their parents. you know, that's the truth of the matter regardless ever the political spin that goes on and republicans are very concerned about that blowing back on them. >> k

you have jeff sessions on the hill, secretary nielsen on the hill making the hard sell to conservatives who may be on the fence who may be worried that they won't have cover from the white house to vote for these bills there's such fear in the republican lawmakers circle, if you will, that anything they vote for in immigration will later be derided as amnesty. no one wants to get caught looking too soft on immigration. i see what you're seeing in those three players is to say we will have your back, we want to see you vote for this bill and to bring folks who are wavering into the tent. to try to make it look to kristen's point just now that this isn't the president backing down necessarily, that they may be able to use this to catapult themselves to some kind of win on immigration which hasn't been able to be done on the hill in quite some time. >> what are democrats saying about all of this as it's unfolded over past hour and a half? as i squ you that question i fully recognize that we've had you tethered to a camera for most of that time so i don't know how much of an opportunity huf
