Don't mind dropping news that you find in the thread as well so I don't have to search the internet all by myself. (slow day at work anyway and I am working from home today

We need to pass this as american public will be pleased with all of us. We can pass the protection in both Senate and House. Democrats are for securing the boarder. Move forward with DACA first, deal with border security and rest of immigration issues later on. Make sure this fix is permanent.
Trump: I want a permanent solution as well. After we do DACA, I think we can do something else as well. DACA is first though.
McCarthy: We don't want to pass a bill that were not finished. Lets not have the same problem in 5-6 years. We need to do DACA, but we need to security as well. We all have to give a little, and I am willing to do so. Lets get it done.
Trump: Anything we do has to be merit based.
Goodlatte: The legistraltion will address DACA in pernament way not in temporary. We will address Wall, via boarder security. We will address all the issues you want to be fixed.
Perdue: Lets not do it all at once. That was the issue in past years, we did try to do everything at once. Lets do it in steps. This will be better and simpler. I don't think this will take long.
McSally: Those who need us is our military and not DACA. We have a March 5th deadline not Jan 19th deadline.
Hoyer: Military is important and our domestic issues are important, we cannot have another CR...
Cornyn: We need to understand what you will sign into the law.
Trump: We will get DACA done.
Graham: I will not support a bill unless you support it. I want a merit based immigration system, and I want to do it. 62% of trump votes support citizenship for DACA kids if you have strong borders. You have an opportunity to close this deal Mr President.
Trump: I want to do comprehensive bill and we are not far away from this deal. I'll take the heat for this if we can get it done. You are not that far way, if you want to make that extra step, you should do it.
