The cowardly no shows of the republicans at the victim testimonies for the DHS funding is an example of their hypocrisy and incompetence and general denial and fantasy about how their “immigration control” is hurting regular Americans and law-abiding immigrants. Not only that, but law abiding immigrants who except for having entered this country illegally are an important part of our economy. They are not targeting the “violent criminals”, they are targeting 5year old kids. Since the republicans seem to be unable to listen to the results of their policies, let the Democrats have charge of the DHS, maybe it will become more humane. The Democrats need to get more of a spine and call it like they and the rest of us see it and take care of the killing and abuse of human beings.
The real battle begins, it will take a huge effort of staying focused to get it done. The Democrats can't lose site of the prize at the end. Keep up the fight.
This is nice, really - and good to see some fight over DHS - but, extending ACA tax credits and/or working toward affordable healthcare seem to have gone by the wayside. Yes, there is SOME progress- but I think Democrats need to more and push back harder.
