Washington (CNN) President-elect Donald Trump told the New York Times he wants the Obamacare replacement to come simultaneously or soon after the repeal. But there are a few problems with that. To come up with a comprehensive replacement will take time. A long delay is not what Trump has in mind. The other alternative is to put some replacement elements in the repeal bill. It's a compromise, but there are only so many replacement items that can go into a repeal bill. In other words, the can gets kicked down the road.

WHAT'S NEW TODAY ON...

OBAMACARE

IMMIGRATION

Jeff Sessions faced questions on his immigration record from a number of Senators. Sessions also said that he does not support a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. During a break in the action, Durbin told CNN's Manu Raju that he was still troubled by Sessions, and that Sessions had not alleviated his concerns on immigration.

Two different hot button immigration cases move forward today:

There is a pretrial hearing in the case of Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who's accused of killing Kate Steinle in 2015, which Trump often cited on the campaign trail. On Friday, a magistrate judge ruled that the Steinle family cannot sue the city of San Francisco over its sanctuary city policy. The Lopez-Sanchez criminal trial begins next month.

Tuesday is a status hearing in the case of Tomas Martinez-Maldonado, the Mexican man who allegedly raped a 13 year old girl on a bus in Kansas last year, after being deported 10 times and voluntarily removing himself from the U.S. another nine times.

Trump transition officials met with Hispanic leaders in Washington on Tuesday morning. Buzzfeed reported that they pushed Trump to add a Latino cabinet pick .Javier Palomarez, president & CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said that the Trump team message was, "the war is over."

ECONOMIC

There is a growing drumbeat for Trump to fire CFPB Director Richard Cordray. Sens. Ben Sasse and Mike Lee wrote a letter urging the incoming administration to remove him from his position. The Wall Street Journal editorial board also called on Trump to fire Cordray.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The UVA Miller Center's "First Year 2017" has a new infrastructure section called "Rebuilding a crumbling nation." They just posted five infrastructure essays, including ones from former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and former LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

TAXES

Team Trump and Team Ryan held a met Monday night. Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck tells CNN it was "almost exclusively about tax reform." There are many ways in which the President-elect and House Speaker differ on the tax issue.

LOOKING AHEAD
