In the other body there were enough votes to pass it. And what happened? The Republican leadership said: No. we will not bring it up. And so it died there. Today. faced with a surge of migrants from Central America. they are giving great speeches: Oh. my God. We have to do something about immigration. Why dont we do something about immigration? And then they blame Democratic President Obama. My response is: What are you doing? They could have brought up the bill. We would be a lot better off had they brought it up and voted on it. Vote yes or vote no.
