LOU: PRESIDENT TRUMP TODAY
DISCUSSING IMMIGRATION REFORM AT
A MEETING WITH SIX RHINO
REPUBLICAN SENATORS WELL
MOST OF THEM AT LEAST, MANY OF
WHOM HAVE BACKED LEGISLATION
THAT WOULD GRANT AMNESTY TO TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS PERHAPS FAR MORE, BUT
WITHOUT MAJOR CONCESSIONS ON
CRITICAL ITEMS ON HIS
IMMIGRATION AGENDA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: ANY LEGISLATION
ON DACA MUST SECURE THE BORDER
WITH A WALL, IT MUST GIVE OUR
IMMIGRATION OFFICERS THE
RESOURCES THEY NEED TO STOP
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, AND ALSO TO
STOP VISA OVERSTAYS AND CRUCIAL
LY THE LEGISLATION MUST
END CHAIN MIGRATION.
LOU: AND JOINING ME NOW ED
ROLLINS FORMER POLITICAL
DIRECTOR, WHITE HOUSE POLITICAL
DIRECTOR UNDER PRESIDENT REAGAN,
FOX BUSINESS CONTRIBUTOR, GREAT
AMERICAN GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
>> THE PRESIDENT IS ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT.
THE SECURITY PART IS WHAT WE
NEED AND LETTING MORE PEOPLE IN
IS NOT THE SECRET HERE.
THE DEMOCRATS WANT DACA TO BE
EXTENDED AND THEY'VE GOT A
COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE THEY HAVE
IMPORTANT.
LOU: IT'S STRANGE, BECAUSE THE
PRESIDENT CAMPAIGNED ON THE WALL
ABSOLUTELY.
LOU: HE DIDN'T CAMPAIGN ON DACA
HE'S TALKING WITH SIX EFFECTIVE
LY EITHER NO NAME OR
VERY LITTLE NAME REPUBLICANS WHO
HAVE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE
CHAIR OF THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
, THEY HAVE NO CHAIRMAN
SHIPS.
I MEAN IT'S JUST A STRANGE
MOMENT.
>> WELL AGAIN, AS WE TALKED ON
THIS SHOW, WE'VE HAD TWO
PRESIDENTS WHO HAD OBAMA WHO HAD
MAJORITIES OF THEIR OWN PARTY
AND THEY WANTED IMMIGRATION
IF HE WANTS TO GET THE SECURITY
PART HAS TO BASICALLY DO JUST
WHAT HE DID.
DRAW THE LINE.
LOU: WHY ARE FOLKS IN THAT
OFFICE WITH THE PRESIDENT?
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
LOU: IT IS PECULIAR BECAUSE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS IS A
WHAT A FOUR OR FIVE NUMBER
PRIORITY.
>> I WANT GUYS IN THERE WHO
PRESIDENT CAMPAIGNED ON AND GOT
THE WALL IS BASICALLY A BATTLE
FOR THE SECURITY OF BORDERS.
LOU: I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT IT.
THE WALL COULD BE ANYTHING.
A SYMBOLIC WALL.
HE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT BEING
ANYTHING.
IT'S VERY CLEAR.
YOU WERE THERE, SO WHEN
PRESIDENT REAGAN SIGNS AMNESTY
IN 1986, WHAT WAS HIS GREATEST
REGRET AFTER DOING SO?
>> WAS DURING THE AMNESTY BILL
BECAUSE THE PART OF LETTING
PEOPLE IN AND LETTING PEOPLE BE
CITIZENS WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY
WAS COMPLETED BUT THE PART NOT
COMPLETED WAS THE SECURITY OR
EMPLOYMENT RATIFICATION AND HE
AND ALAN SIMPSON SAID IT WAS THE
BIGGEST REGRET THEY EVER HAD.
LOU: AND THEN YOU FAST FORWARD
TO EVEN BILL CLINTON, 1996, THE
NEXT EVERY TEN YEARS YOU WANT TO
TRY TO GET SOMETHING DONE ON
THIS.
I MEAN IT'S THE SAME THING.
THEY SOLD OUT THE BORDER, THE
SOVEREIGNTY OF THE COUNTRY FOR
CHEAP LABOR AND BY THE WAY, MAKE
OF CORPORATE AMERICA
PARTICULARLY FOR CHEAP LABOR.
>> EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT EVERY
ONE OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE HERE
UNDER DACA BASICALLY CAME IN AS
ILLEGALS WHEN THE LAW WAS IN
EXISTENCE.
LOU: HOW MANY ARE THEY DO YOU
IDEA.
WE HAVE NO IDEA.
LOU: NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
PUSHING DACA WILL SIT DOWN AND
SAY ALL WE NEED IS SOME SORT OF
STANDING FOR THIS NUMBER OF
PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'RE LYING
THROUGH THEIR TEETH AND THEY'RE
DISTORTING THE NUMBERS AND
SAYING WELL THEY ONLY APPLIED
FOR 300,000 JOBS.
WE NO ONE THING.
EVEN AS SCHUMER IS TALKING ABOUT
DEADLINES, THERE ARE ABOUT
300,000 OF THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED
UP UNDER DACA WHO HAVE UNTIL
NOVEMBER TO WORK OUT THEIR VISAS
, SO THERE'S NO DEADLINE
HERE, MARCH OR WHENEVER IT IS.
>> EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT YOU
DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE THE BUDGET
NEGOTIATIONS AND LET THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE THE GUN TO HIS
HEAD AND I THINK AT THE END OF
THE DAY HE NEEDS TO SAY I'M NOT
DEALING WITH DACA, LET'S GET THE
LOU: WELL HELP ME OUT ON
SOMETHING.
OR THE SENATE UNDER PRESIDENT
TRUMP?
>> I DON'T KNOW OF ANY.
LOU: I DON'T EITHER SO LET'S END
THE CONVERSATION.
>> PROBABLY SOME POST OFFICE
THEY NAMED SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
LOU: I BET YOU THEY WERE PRETTY
DEMANDING THE FUSION GPS TURN
OVER ITS BANK RECORDS TO
THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
THAT'S A VERY BIG DEAL BECAUSE
IT MEANS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
MAY ACTUALLY BE HOME TO THE
SOVREIGN POWER OF THIS NATION.
>> WELL I HOPE IT IS AND
OBVIOUSLY THIS JUDGE --
LOU: WHERE IT HAS PRIORITY AND
POWER OVER EVEN A SMEAR MERGE
LIKE FUSION GPS.
>> THAT STORY NEEDS TO BE TOLD
AND WHO THE SPONSORS WERE AND
WHERE THE MONEY WAS COMING FROM
IS VERY IMPORTANT.
