A parent whose son or
daughter died of opioid addiction because they couldn't get treatment
doesn't think that opioid addiction should play second fiddle to any
proposal. The majority leader dismissed the urgency of solving the fate of
Dreamers. He calls it a manufactured crisis. It was manufactured by the
Republican Party. President Trump rescinded the DACA Program, not a
Democrat. It was the majority leader's decision to kick the can down
the road for months while bipartisan majorities would have likely
supported something close to the Dream Act. It was President Trump who
turned his back on a bipartisan solution last week and used vulgarities
to demean the ancestral homelands of so many Americans.
