“The Senate leadership claims they lack the 60 votes to overcome a Democrat filibuster and pass the House’s Homeland Security funding bill,” said Brooks. “Yet a mere majority of the Republican Senate has the power [to] overcome Democrat senator obstructionism.

The Repub leadership has been using Bama's executive amnesty, to give their big money donors the surplus labor that those doors covet. Surplus labor keep wages stagnant and profits up.

Let's face it, neither Bamacrats nor the Repub leadership care about Americans, American jobs, or the quality of American life.
