We had the support of organized labor. We had every major religious group in America supporting our efforts. We had the ultraconservative Grover Norquist supporting this and liberals as well came together and said: Finally. we are going to do something about our broken immigration system. But under the law of the land. passing in the Senate is not enough. The measure was then sent over to the House of Representatives on June 27. 2013. Today. November 19. 2014. the Republicanled House of Representatives has not only failed to have a hearing on this bill. it has refused to bring this bill to the floor. it has refused to bring any immigration bill to the floor. They refuse to address the obvious. We have a broken immigration system. We need to come up with a fair solution to it. They refuse to act.
