McCarthy Wants Democrats To Return To Talks For Compromise

"I think we can come to an agreement rather quickly," he said.

Do you know in this caravan, one third of all the women...some are being raped, some are being violently treated. We have children that have challenges coming through; we have another caravan starting to come. We have a real challenge.

And I think that's why both sides can sit own, find a compromise that actually secures the border.

We had -- everybody in the room said they wanted to have a secure border. So maybe we work a combination to make it solved. And I think that's why the president -- I watched him in there stay very calm throughout the entire discussion -- he wanted to get the latest statistics going forward.

And that is why we'll be back on Friday. We want to make sure the border's secure, but more importantly, we want to make sure this government is opened.
