The House has had a bill for 500 days.. on Immigration

that the Senate passed.. 500 days they (the house) sat with their thumbs stuck up their noses.. doing nothing..

A new congress has been elected that is even more radically right than the last one..

And let me see, the President is being unfair not giving the a chance to turn it down again?..

Seriously, if they really want a voice in this, they (the house) can take up the bill that has already been passed..

Heck they could bring up amendments.. etc etc etc.

The simple truth is, they have no interest in taking up immigration, and will continue to sit with their thumbs up their noses

And the leadership of the house and now senate are terrified of the tea party.. it is not us as Democrats who will not talk or work with them.

It is the Republicans who cannot work with each other..

And there is not a darned thing we can do about it..
