Set up what the administration has been doing and the larger issue of what this could potentially have among house guest the ministration is among House Republicans. Is the administration ofhas been a huge subject protest among the immigrant advocacy community. Jeh johnson has been listening to a lot of advocates and talking about the things they can do. It is not entirely clear what they will do. The thinking is there will probably be some good some new guidance about what they should consider when it comes to. Ooking at immigration people who are living in mixed of them aree citizens, some of them are illegals. Advocates would like the president to expand his Deferred Action Program that he has to a broader population of people.

American history to be held in contempt after stonewalling the fast and furious investigation back in 2012. House republicans claim that lerner has already waived her fifth amendment right. She declared her innocence in front of the House Oversight Committee Last year, and in so doing, expressed her views and waived her right to the fifth amendment.

I said im not picking which manufacturer or which industry, i am saying we have picked winners and losers in this country for some time, and we picked Financial Services to be the winner, and their middleclass and workingclass and poor people at manufacturing to be the loser. It is time that we refocus that, if you will. [applause] from cs remarks as wages decline, we borrow more. Not just to enhance but maintain a standard of living. Wall street gets bigger and makes more fees. Caps on emphasis on one sector takes wealth away from other parts of the economy.

My math tells me that is well less than 51. 33 votes, which was a start. Since then, times have changed. The federal
