McCaskill wasn't alone in her frustration with the President's equivocation. Asked Tuesday about the White House press secretary publicly trashing a bipartisan proposal he had put together, Graham hit back.

"One thing I would say to the White House: You better start telling us what you're for rather than what you're against," the South Carolina senator said. "To my friends at the White House, you've been all over the board, you haven't been a reliable partner and the Senate's going to move."

Within the border security category, Nielsen has spoken publicly about a desire for more than just infrastructure and resources at the border -- and that the agency is pursuing legal overhauls to immigration enforcement that would give it greater power to remove undocumented immigrants from the country. Increasing enforcement authority has been a tough sell among Democrats.

DHS is also looking to add more depth on what the administration wants to replace DACA, which protected young undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children but which the administration is ending. The official said that would be the "next big thing" for the administration to work through.

The way this is written makes me nervous for some reason. Also how has that not been decided yet? What have they been doing for months?

McCaskill argued, though, that Trump has put Nielsen in a tough spot.

"It puts her in a very difficult position to lobby for something when she can't tell me the President supports what she's lobbying for," McCaskill said, adding that Nielsen told her the secretary "clearly supported the DACA protections," but the senator reiterated her concern about where the President stood.

"Then she listed things she wanted to see in the bill," McCaskill said, "and I said, 'Some of those things I think I could work with you on. But not until I know the President will stand strong for this and make sure he lobbies the House of Representatives to pass whatever it is we end up with on a bipartisan basis in the Senate.' "

She sits on Homeland Security committee. I think she is doing some of her due diligence as far as her committee responsibilities go...

"Cryin’ Chuck Schumer fully understands, especially after his humiliating defeat, that if there is no Wall, there is no DACA. We must have safety and security, together with a strong Military, for our great people!"

How unprofessional. How can one be 72 years old, the president of the U.S., and call people nicknames and mock them for trying to do their job.
