The president and Republicans are looking to move forward with an immigration debate that may not be as divisive as once thought. Recently, President...

Without Congressional action, sequestration will occur in only three weeks. It is time to step away from messaging bills, economic brinksmanship and manufactured crises, and get serious about solving our nation's problems.
