I think the one week extension for the Department of Homeland Security is genius. 

I can't believe passing important laws is this difficult. This is a democracy. This stuff is suppose to be easy and straight forward. This is suppose to be one of the most invisible issues to politics. This is national security. This is suppose to be boring and mundane. How did this happen to this country? This is ridiculous. There is nothing radical about funding national security priorities. The Democrats don't even carry on about military funding like this.

What the heck is at the base of this? 

Minority Speaker Pelosi has remarkable resilience with all this. I don't know where we would be without her. She has a path forward for every emergency. "The Rock." Rep. Nancy "The Rock" Pelosi. 

What are these statements from Chuck Todd about "...now the Republicans are going to be stuck with full funding?" That is a bizarre statement. There is no doubt the USA has to fund national security. The problem with the Republicans is they are stuck on 'hate' regarding a resolve to immigration. 

The last thing the USA needs is more inflammatory statements about our national security. 

Stenography.

There is no reasoning through an issue with the press. These are two separate issues for the USA. The Senate is functioning better the House when it comes to immigration. The Senate passed a bill. At least it was a way forward for the country, but, the House is stuck in hate regarding immigration. Even children are a focus of hateful speech when it comes to immigration. There is no other word, hate. The press is allowing hate to exist in a political dialogue that is completely dysfunctional to the national security of the USA. 

The question before the country is about funding national security. The OTHER question before the country is how do we adequately address Immigration Reform. The immigration system in the USA is not broken, it is completely dysfunctional AND a threat to our country in regard to new members of our society that came here legally AND the international reputation of the USA when it comes to compassion and problem solving.

There are ways of solving the Undocumented issues, but, all the Republicans can see is THE FENCE on the southern border. The fence isn't going to be any more successful than a lack of the fence. The reason people are coming to our southern border is because the USA has been a really lousy neighbor to the north. Really lousy neighbor.

The USA should be assisting Mexico to STABILIZE their country. I can't believe the level of negligence of the USA to the problems of the Mexican people. They are living in hell everyday because of drugs and corruption. The USA has to resolve their problems and find a way to allow function to return to it's government. There are young people missing from their families because a mayor and his wife didn't LIKE THEM. And the USA is ignoring all of it. 

People from South American and Central America came to our southern border because they would die otherwise. These people were children. There is a lot wrong with the relationships the USA has with it's hemispheric neighbors. And the answer the USA press has is to use inflammatory language to our national security and the immigration problems that causes compromise to our country EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY.
