Schumer On Immigration Reform: This Will Be The Year Congress Finally Gets It Done
DAVID TAINTOR 2:46 PM EST, MONDAY JANUARY 28, 2013
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday said he and the other senators who support immigration reform believe 2013 will be the year Congress "finally gets it done."
"The politics on this issue have been turned upside down," Schumer said on Capitol Hill. "For the first time ever, there is more political risk in opposing immigration reform than in supporting it. We believe we have a window of opportunity to act, but we will only succeed if the effort is bipartisan."

(53,331 posts)to get McPain on board is to shower him with praise, deserved or not. McGrumpy just eats stuff up that keeps his name and image out there. He's the supreme attention whore and jumps on any issue he thinks is "hot" enough to get national media attention. He's been doing it for years.
