The Democrat Party again won back control in the elections of 1954, it was the majority party in both houses of Congress for most of the next 40 years; the Republicans were only able to win control of the Senate for a six-year period (1981-87).

 

 

40 years of controlling the spending by dems.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration eased the way Wednesday for illegal immigrants who are immediate relatives of American citizens to apply for permanent residency, a change that could affect as many as 1 million of the estimated 11 million immigrants unlawfully in the U.S.

 

A new rule issued by the Department of Homeland Securityaims to reduce the time illegal immigrants are separated from their American families while seeking legal status, immigration officials said.

 

Beginning March 4, when the changes go into effect, illegal immigrants who can demonstrate that time apart from an American spouse, child or parent would create “extreme hardship,” can start the application process for a legal visa without leaving the U.S.

Which would be fine if there was some requirements about paying taxes, not being a criminal, etc, rather than some bullsh-- about 'hardship' (which there may be, I haven't read the fine print). But it sounds like another government apology to illegals rather than a stance that says 'prove to us we should let you stay'.
