For the first two years of President Obma's first term, he had a heavily majority Senate, and a majority House. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Representative Jackie Speier, and Representative Anna Eshoo represented us then, as they do now. What did this group do about our immigration laws? Zero.

Mike: What has Trump done with all three branches? I seem to recall a PROMISE about Mexico paying for a wall. Seen a check?
What did GW Bush do (until 2006)?
Reagan? Oh, yeah. The Amnesty.
Obama? Let's take a look:

I don't remember immigration laws being anywhere near the panic Republicans are feeling at this time.
According to Bush and Fox, immigration and country security were securely established in the Patriot Act. And the Democratic majority for 60 votes was thwarted by the Republicans, by using the filibuster!
Mike - why do you bring this up? In Obama's first 2 years, it was about security, on the heels of 9/11. Now it's partisan, about racism, loss of jobs(?), oh, and money of course.
I question your comment without addressing what the Republican congress did about any immigration laws then and now.

How exciting to have a return to our town of a truly great and inspirational leader! How we long for the days of compassion and caring, where education, health care, the environment and true family values were our values. What an honor it is to have President Obama, one of our greatest presidents, visit our town.

Oh boy...the -45 cult is here *yet again*.
Okay, sport, let's try this:
*Permanent tax cuts for the 1% -- TEMPORARY tax cuts for the middle class
*A crippled federal bureaucracy, especially in the State Department
*North Korea restarting its nuclear program
*VA still performing below par, with no leadership in place
*Taking away children from asylum seekers, while condemning the practice by other nations
*Alienating allies, while cozying up to dictators
MAGA? Yeah, right.
Let's get this bum in jail.

Mike - The Senate during Obama’s terms passed a comprehensive bi-partisan immigration bill. Speaker Boehner would not allow it to come to the floor for a vote.
The GOP House preferred to have immigration as a political issue than attempt to solve it. Party over nation.
Where’s your contempt now?
