House Republicans and Democratic-Led Senate

Democratic-led Senate: Forget immigration, a tax overhaul, stiffer gun checks. They're all DOA, according to Times Colonist. The only things likely to become law in a Congress bitterly divided between House Republicans and the Democratic-led Senate are those that simply have to pass, such as a measure to avoid a government shutdown and Congress gets back to work Monday after a two-week vacation, and it looking like lawmakers will do what they do best: the bare minimum. Raising the minimum wage or restoring lost unemployment benefits? Not going to happen. Forcing government approval of the Keystone XL pipeline? Veto bait. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
