Immigration Continues to Split Republicans and Democrats

More proposals are being given to ‘gut’ the provisions of Obama’s Executive Action on Immigration. The initial proposal from Obama was to give up to 5 million illegal immigrants work visas, and to take away their risk of deportation.

Immigration has always been a touchy subject, but Republicans and Democrats have been in a disagreement for the past few months.

Republicans have refused to budge on the subject, and have many statements saying that they will use the $40 billion funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, as leverage to oppose Obama’s Executive Action.

Democrats are outraged, accusing Republicans of being cruel to hardworking aliens looking to create a better life for themselves in America; not to mention jeopardizing the Homeland Security budget simultaneously.

Democrat leader Senator Harry Reid, made a statement in mid-January saying, “Republicans have only been in control for a week, and already they are picking an unnecessary political fight that risks shutting down the Department of Homeland Security.”

With the continued disagreement on immigration and Homeland Security running out of funds, what will the government do? United we stand, divided we fall, and immigration is the issue that separates the two.
