Dem rep: I'm willing to negotiate on the wall for a pathway to citizenship

SPEIER: So I’m willing to negotiate a certain amount of money if we can make sure that the 800,000 to one million DACA eligible individuals in this country get a pathway to citizenship. I think their lives are worth that. This is the only country they’ve ever known. And when I say a high tech wall, I’m talking about using high tech kinds of instrumentalities because it needs to be effective. And building a wall is not effective. And, frankly what the president doesn’t appreciate is, you’re going to be taking a lot of Republican farmland away from various owners of farmland if you’re going to try and build a wall.

So I think that’s all subject to negotiation. We have to be willing to negotiate. I do not want to see the government shut down.
