Good thing you don’t speak for all of us.

What type of a person are you? You cannot stop people from coming into a country based on their religion...Jesus...Go get your head examined...You actually thought Biden would do that?

So just who exactly is considered an essential worker? Is it people who work exclusively in the health field and the farmer mining crops and picking produce or is it your resident grocer bagging your food at the supermarkets and convenience stores. Is it the sanitation worker cleaning your streets. Is it the undocumented worker mowing you lawn or the maid cleaning your house. We're going down the very slippery slope of who gets the distinct honor of being called "essential" pitting us against each other.

Biden knows sweeping immigration reform will not happen right away but it's obvious DACA is here to stay. He will defend it and protect it. Hopefully he's savvy enough to expand DACA to all immigrants who came as kids. DAPA will take care of itself as we'll be able to sponsor our parents with green cards and a pathway to citizenship. CIR may be DOA but at least millions will find relief. Biden's been doing this a long time. I'll have major respect for him if DACA expansion was his imminent plan all along.

Oh, and get rid of the filibuster. These irresponsible, evil Republican clowns let Trump get away with this mess; they don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

Signed* your progressive healthcare team.

Someone remind this guy that beggars cannot be choosers.

Thank you! Piecemeal is the way to go. Nobody is going to support CIR while millions of Americans are unemployed.

Minority rights on legislation are key to the Senate. President Biden spent decades defending them. More than two dozen Senate Democrats backed them just four years ago.

This isn't complicated. Simply reaffirming that Democrats won't break the rules should not be a heavy lift.
