"No, I think we can get a DACA agreement, I know that we had a lot of agreement at the table, I meet in my office many times trying to get there. Unfortunately there are people who walked away, I'm one who wants to stay at the table and solve the problem," said McCarthy.

But did the President not walk away in a sense via tweet?

"No, I think what the President said, remember what the President offered just a little bit ago. He offered to go beyond DACA to 'Dreamers' just for the wall. And when you think about [NY Sen. Chuck] Schumer, Schumer voted for more money for a wall just a couple of years ago in the 'Gang of Eight' but said no to that, and that's more than he even asked for," said McCarthy.
