Again, but we also have got issues of continuing resolution, which would only go until february 8th and between now and then we have to come to a consensus about how we address the issue surrounding immigration. and we know we have to get that behind us because you've got a march 5th deadline with regard to the daca issue. so they're all trying to build this. there is a sense of trying to get that trust among republicans and democrats that the process in the united states senate would actually work in everyone's favor and it would be a fair process. and we normally don't use the traditional pr...

House republican majority refused to bring up the bill, even though it probably had 218 votes because it did not have a majority of the majority, the majority of their caucus. i do believe that is the question looming over us at the end of the road, whatever the senate does, will the house republicans vote for dac? in the house, the parties are representing two different americans. for the people that were foreign born, immigrants are below the national average, 60% of the democrats above the national average. they represent the parts of america least touched by this issue, and it's hard to ge...
