mr. chen, would you have that legislation prepared for whenever our packet goats up for the april meeting? before you respond, deputy attorney, i would like to ask commissioner in lee if she has a perspective to add here. >> commissioner lee: i think there are so many other policy discussions that we had started in the last few months, and i think as a body, we need to decide how to prioritize staff time and the commission's focus. so at this point, i would not object to a broader discussion at the next meeting on how to proceed on this, whether it would include a proposed charter amendment or broader discussion. but at this time, we have several other policy issues that the staff wants us to -- not wants -- presented for us to have along with discussion later on today. so i would rather have us have a broader discussion at a future time. i think this is an important issue to discussion. and what i would propose. i would ask staff to prepare a document for us to review -- not necessarily the l

host: mr. chen?uest: i already addressed the economy and wages, but a couple of things in reference to what you were saying. first of all, for the daca population, these are young people who are here, contributing to our country, and i think it is important to recognize that even if there is a perception that they are working and taking away jobs, they are mostly here working and contribute to our country, and as i mentioned before, the economic impact is just not present. we don't see that taking place in the way the caller mentioned. you, final question for greg chen -- "the hill" , "senators introduce a three-year daca, border security deal." do you think this could pass? what are you hearing about this legislation just introduced on tuesday? guest: this is a short-term extension of the daca program that congress is talking about bringing forth, and hopefully in the next several weeks. ala really thinks that the dream act, which provides long-term protection for the dreamers, is what needs to be p
