Praise for tax reform, but skepticism from Congress on energy, immigration

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), a leading voice on immigration reform, said comprehensive legislation has no chance of passing this year.

“We need to look at immigration — we’re never going to get comprehensive this year without Republican support, and we don’t have it,” Schumer said. “But there are specific things that we can do on immigration that make some sense.”

He said a scaled-down immigration reform measure known as the DREAM Act also lacks enough support unless changes are made.

“Right now it doesn’t have all the votes, but we can keep working towards it,” he added.

So glad, i left in 2008. The same story over and over and over...I wish for all of you that DA passes next week...Truth of the matter is these idiots in Senate dont care... Saw an article couple of months ago describing how the Senate works after a session ends.. Joined dinners, workout sessions at the gym etc etc ...Laughing at the average folks....

Additionally what i have learned.... America is the greatest military in the world. ..They beat down Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc etc etc .. .. When it comes to China, Russia, North Korea, Iran they are quiet as a mouse, for average folks it is laughable

Damn it has already been 4 years since you left! Time flies!

Before i left, i had hope for ' CHANGE'.. I must of been mentally retarded

I hope you are doing okay wherever you might be. From what I can tell you do not regret leaving this place. That is good!

what are you doing now? What was your life story?

Four years eh? I've been gone for 6 months so far. What country?

Dream Act was talked about in SOTU so I have hope that it will pass soon.
