Republican lawmakers are already denouncing President Barack Obama's planned executive action on immigration and the idea of another government shutdown has been floated. But Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro says the gridlock is a product of her chamber in Washington.
"The House has been recalcitrant. [It] refuses to do it because I believe [that] they believe that it is better to deal with gridlock, and not to move in any direction that the Senate has," said DeLauro. She complimented the Senate's ability to compromise on an immigration bill they eventually passed.
When asked if Obama's executive action could result in more gridlock, DeLauro said she doesn't think it's possible to have any more than they already do.
DeLauro does believe the House has an immigration bill that would pass in the Senate. But since it's not happening in Congress, she agrees with Obama's decision to move ahead on his own. If Congress did pass some reform measures, DeLauro said Obama's executive actions could be rescinded later on.
Connecticut's 3rd congressional district includes New Haven. In a campaign event for Governor Dannel Malloy, First Lady Michelle Obama was interrupted by undocumented youth brought to the United States at a young age. The group, Connecticut Students for a DREAM interrupted both the First Lady in New Haven and President Obama in Bridgeport.
The president is expected to announce his executive actions in a speech Thursday night.
No pictures, please.
So she is who I was thinking of.
Should have known asking not to post pictures, is like asking someone not to think about pink elephants.
Lying witch with a b! Besides, not “doing something” in the house IS actually taking action. It is affirming that the current laws need to be enforced.
Achhh...too late.

Rosa `Achille’ Lauro is proof that the Wicked Witch of the West did not die childless.

Hate to tell you—but her looks are wonderful compared to her personality.
Here we go again with the Keith Richards impersonator.
But I thought you were into steampunk.
What is it about bitter old leftist hags that makes them look like bitter old hags? Something about “ugly goes straight to the bone?”
