Secondly, i am so sick of my representative schumer pontificating on how the republicans are holding the american citizens hostage. Arent we Holding American citizen hostage with unconstitutional law in protecting immigrants . It just befuddles me that they can use this argument. Guest let me address that piece by piece. Maybe i will start with as far as immigration i dont see the benefits extended to immigrants that are discriminated against american citizens.
