Last week. Republicans told us this House needed to act on their Homeland Safety and Security Act. but this week. they have abandoned that act because they were so fearful that it would lead to a discussion of gun violence. It is much like what happened last year when they had a muchballyhooed border security bill that would do as much for the border. I guess. as Donald Trump. But at the thought that it might lead to a debate about real immigration reform. they shelved it. abandoned it. and have long forgotten it. When they leave prematurely today. they will have done nothing to accomplish a bipartisan response to the spreading Zika virus. which yesterday led to the birth of the first child with Zikarelated birth defects in Texas. Experts say many more are to come.
