When the Republicans had a majority in the House, the Senate majority passed a bill for comprehensive immigration reform by unanimous consent. The bill was then sent to the House, in which the House leadership refused to allow a vote to be held. Now that the Democrats have a majority in the House, the Senate leadership will never allow a vote to be held if the House passes a bill for comprehensive immigration reform. That way, Donald Trump can always blame the Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats for all his problems, rather than Mitch McConnell and the Republicans. --Lee -- Every Bottom Needs A Top --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: - nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland - (2:221/360) .
