Costing America 24 billion dollars for no reason at all is NOT fiscally responsible.

Trotting out the leftists rags 24 billion dollar number that is complete bull ****.

To the victor, goes the spoils...the GOP had the perfect chance to force negotiations over the debt ceiling...and let the ObamaCare rollout be bad news for the dems.

Instead they shutdown the government over a CR, overshadowing the Obamacare rollout all while killing any leverage they had to negotiate over the debt ceiling.

Yep, the stupid party.

Sure, tackle immigration reform just before the next gov't shutdown 90 days out.

Another shutdown? Sounds good...let's see if we can get the GOP down to single digits before November!

The Democrats are going to pay dearly in the midterms. Don't get excited.

I would be worried if there were even an outside chance of amnesty!

Amnesty will never pass a republican controlled House.

Thank God.

Speak very clearly into my lapel pin when you say that.

I can't hear you with that tin foil hat on. Please remove it and try again.

A wonderful political move. When the republicans vote no on immigration reform, it will solidify the mid terms for the democrats.

Does anyone care what is actually good or bad for the country, or is winning the next election now the only thing that matters?

Of course not. Reagan did it way back in the 80's.

Immigrants have always been nothing more than a political playing card for either party for decades.

A big portion of the right does, unfortunately the majority of republicans do not.

Very few on the left give a flip beyond new votes.
