Christmas. But whats your drinking nationality . We have a booze calculator to tell you. Hello. Its small, but significant strike against Islamic State. Kurdish forces in Northern Iraq say theyve carried out their biggest and most successful military offensive against the extremist group. 8,000 kurdish fighters backed by u. S. Led air strikes have broken the siege of mount sinjar, liberating, they say, thousands of ya zidis. In august, many who had taken refuge there were eventually air lifted to safety, but thousands more who came after that were then trapped. Our hope is that all those people will eventually be able to go back to their own homes and villages and towns, but those that are in need of evacuation, now a corridor has been open to evacuate those people. Well, for all that, the town of sinjar is still under i. S. Control. As is nearby mosul. That, of course, is one of the countrys biggest cities. Overall, though, this operation being seen very much as a success. 53 precisio
I believe that senator schumer has concluded that he could taunt the leadership in the house of representatives, and that includes our speaker of the house, into brigham necessary at this legislation to the floor of the house because if it does, and if it should pass, the senate would conform with any amnesty legislation because they are controlled by democrats. And i have long known and long been restrained by people in my own party, mr. Speaker, from laying out the argument as to why almost every democrat i know wants open borders and amnesty and a neverending supply of illegal aliens in the United States of america. Its a pretty easy formula to figure out, especially if you sit here for 10 or a dozen years engaged in hearings and debate on a weekly basis, you begin to hear the threat of their conversation and you begin to understand the real truth behind their motives. And it works out to be this. Of course there are a large number of Illegal Immigrants in the United States. We have

Wayperson standing in the of making progress. That would be the speaker of the house. I know in his heart his intentions are good. We just hope that we will see before the one year is out from the senate bill some son of life, some sign of intention, some bill that can come to the floor. Scheduledis and even on a bill that could possibly take us to conference. It is clear that their intention is to do nothing and that is totally unacceptable. We have a bill, 200 cosponsors, hr 15, including three republicans. Many more republicans told us they would go for the bill. Give us a vote, mr. Speaker. The votes are there. Give us a vote. In another display of industry and dash of indifference to the needs of the people, republicans are proposing to take food out of the mouths of our chosen once again.
