We have basketball games being played and hockey games. The American people dont need games being played in the House of Representatives. but that is exactly what we are seeing this week. The Republican majority is holding hostage the security of this Nationholding the Department of Homeland Securitys budget hostageso they can advance some ideological provisions on immigration reform. This is nothing but a big pout on the part of the Republican majority because they are upset with the Presidents executive action. If they want to undo what the President has done and proceed toward a sane immigration policy. we have an entire body of Democrats and Republicans who is waiting to do that. I was part of the bipartisan group last year that worked for the entire Congress in trying to get that done. I know it is possible.
