I don't understand this. The president is trying to do something here. I'm not happy with how he has handled this situation but the Democrats are loving every minute of the Republicans turning on their own. I don't consider myself a bushbot, but why all the throwing the baby out with the bath water. Do we seriously want to let the Democrats take over because the president isn't perfect enough. I see Democrats attacking him no matter what he says or does and Republicans doing the same. it's almost as frustrating as the illegal immigration problem itself.
"I don't consider myself a bushbot, but why all the throwing the baby out with the bath water."
If you actually read the "comprehensive" bill proposed (with 400 amendments) in the Senate, you'd know there is no baby in the bathwater.
Try this, for starters:
