Define 'irony',lol.Funding for the Government usually starts in the House for procedural reasons & only the Speaker can allow those bills to come to the floor,including funding for ICE.

Anyway,I wonder if she'll make it more difficult for piecemeal legislation to come to the House floor if she still believes mainly in a comprehensive bill ?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined hundreds of families Saturday evening at a church in San Francisco's Mission District demanding an end to the immigration raids and deportations that separate parents from children across the United States.

Pelosi, who has said securing U.S. borders is a top priority, used the forum to call for a comprehensive immigration program that recognizes the broad contributions immigrants have made to the fabric of the country.

"Our future is about our children," Pelosi told a crowd of mostly Latino families at St. Anthony's Church.

No matter if those families arrived two days ago or centuries ago, Pelosi said "that opportunity, that determination, that hope has made American more American."

She said, "Taking parents from their children ... that's un-American."

Pelosi is all talk and no action. She has the power to bring a comprehensive bill to the house floor tomorrow but she won't do anything till the senate acts.

It's nice that she took the time to go out there and listen to them.
