Now, Congress is 2 days away from a government shutdown because,
again, the majority and the President appear uninterested in governing,
which means compromise. It means working on policy together with both
Republicans and Democrats to deal with the real priorities--like jobs,
education, infrastructure, and national security--that are essential to
the American people. The press has been focusing on the Trump-caused immigration crisis as
the supposed cause for the Republican dilemmas at the moment. It is
true that finding a solution for Dreamers is very important. Indeed, a
poll cited by the Washington Post's editorial board this morning said
that 82 percent of voters, including almost 70 percent of Republican
voters, believe there should be a path to citizenship for Dreamers. This immigration crisis is not the only unfinished business before
Congress. We also have the Republican leadership's failure to make the
effort early on to deal with some of the issues that are now facing us
directly and affecting millions of Americans. Just think of some of the
issues.
