The Republican leadership put together a partisan. inadequate. and unacceptable emergency supplemental bill that allegedly dealt with the humanitarian crisis at the southern border. That bill was meanspirited and cruel. but it wasnt meanspirited and cruel enough to satisfy the farright wing of the Republican Conference. So the leadership tried to add another meanspirited. cruel bill to block any further help for young immigrants under the DACA program. a program that has helped thousands of young people who have grown up in America come out of the shadows so they can go to school or hold a job without fear of being deported. But that wasnt meanspirited and cruel enough for their base. so they pulled the whole package from the floor yesterday. So last night. we had yet another meeting in the Rules Committee. and that is when they came up with this rule. but not a solution.
