President Barack Obama: Congress is in a dispute over immigration rules — which has gotten so bitter that it prompted a standoff that could throttle funding after this week to the Department of Homeland Security, according to Huffington Post Canada. Soon, Doer said, there will be more occasions to discuss the long-delayed Alberta-to-Texas pipeline. He said lawmakers will probably move on to other issues for a while, then return to Keystone. He said there already talk in Washington of attaching a pipeline provision to a big infrastructure or budget bill. A first bill to build the pipeline landed on President Barack Obama desk this week and he immediately vetoed it. It could be a lot more difficult for the president to veto that kind of legislation. "We believe people are going to work towards getting broader proposals," Doer said, adding that he didn't want to wade into a domestic political debate.
