It is not the best of all available options, but it is an option in terms of curbing the president s power. The last time the house did this, the president lost 90 at the Supreme Court level. A sillyent is obviously action given the democratic control of the senate. Theyre left with two options, cut funding for some of the president s programs or sue the president , which is what he is doing and which is what they are doing. The washington times, talking about the impeachment issue. He says the democrats are using as a fundraising tool. That it is not a viable option.

What if those people are unable to vote . At me be clear about this. I want all of her people to come out and vote on election day. Republicans are worried thats going to happen, then they need to change the message. If they feel like they can get the hispanic vote, and republicans need to re message. [applause] but i want all eligible hispanics to come out and vote on election day. This is a bipartisan organization. The question would be is if the case to you as a republican that you think well, maybe ms. Wilson is right baggara people who fear sharing power. Theres no question of that and i think some of the resistance, perhaps a lot of resistance within our party would suspect Immigration Reform. People are fearful the way our country is changing. They are even more fearful of the fact that its change with any kind of thought or break election for guidance from our leaders. And i think thats been the source of some the problem we have with respect to not making progress in Immigrati
