Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) made headlines on Wednesday for suggesting he can find "common ground" with Thomas Homan, president-elect Donald Trump's "border czar" who has made deportations the number one priority since his appointment a few weeks back.

"We can deport people quickly under Title A, we can do 'stay in Mexico,' we can do so many things on policies that can work right away," said Cuellar during the interview with NewsNation's The Hill.
