They have failed to deliver under
President Obama, when they had supermajorities. We are not going to let
them fail this time. Giving the DACA population certainty, coming up with a solution that
makes sense, getting a border that is secure, making sure that the
poison that is coming across the border and killing tens of thousands
of people a year is reduced, is, in my opinion, the scope that we need
to negotiate to get to an agreement. If we have Senator Durbin, Senator
Bennet, and others who have negotiated portions of the immigration
issue open their eyes to the broader opportunity to come up with a
balanced policy that addresses the concerns on both sides of the aisle,
we can be the Congress and President Trump can be the President who
actually solve this problem and, along the way, make it far less likely
that it will be another problem for another Congress to solve 10 or 15
years from now and that, then, may take 10 or 15 years to solve. This will have an enduring impact. This will have a compassionate
impact. This will provide certainty to the DACA population. This will
allow me to go home and say: I did something meaningful to secure the
border and protect our Nation. But we have to have people come together
and negotiate in good faith.
