Republicans chicken out on fixing immigration...

For all the posturing and talking points, when desperation sets in, they flee from the subject like rats from a burning ship.

For better or worse, there was a debate going on about the broken immigration system here, as well as trying to secure our porous borders. About regulating the workers that we depend on, while giving them opportunity. The opportunity to work towards a resolution that makes sense for everyone was lost...and this move by Republicans allow us to hang the broken system squarely around their yellow necks.

Once againg, all sound and fury...signifying nothing.
