And if you look very closely, you can see just the tiniest bit of backbone growing in the backs of the Democratic congresspeople. If they continue to nurture this growth, they may even be able to sit up straight. That would be a marked improvement over their current situation of lying on the floor and letting the GOP walk all over them.

Hopefully this time it lasts - over the past 10+ years I've witnessed them occasionally find it, only to lose it again relatively quickly. Now the stakes are too high to repeat this pattern.

Who would have thought that funding an organization whose members summarily execute American citizens and then get away with it would turn out to be unpopular?

While we certainly have a law and order problem with regards to illegal immigration, we also have a law and order problem with regards to people tasked with enforcing the law. And the latter is much more important to sort out first.
