The United States has needed new immigration laws for decades. Congress came very close to passing new laws this week. And then they choked.
This is a classic example of partisan politics taking priority over the good of the country. In news reports I have seen thousands of people crossing the Rio Grande. They face razor wire and red tape. The current rules are not working for them.
Then there are border cities flooded with needy families. These cities can't adequately house or feed these folks. The current rules are not working for these American cities either.
Meanwhile Congress plays politics with the lives of suffering people. Shame on them. Shame on us for keeping them in power.
