Bills passed. resolutions passed. you would sit there and shake your head and say: "All of the things we do just seem to die in the Senate." Well. it is the nature of the process. It is a narrowing between the 2 Chambers that makes it difficult to move things through. Well. today was a classic example. We knoweveryone knowsthe immigration system in America has failed. It has just plain failed. In 1986. the last time we addressed this issue. 21 years ago.
