Comprehensive Immigration Bill

Why or why wasn't this achieved during the first two years of the current administration when it had control of the White House, Congress, and Senate?

Probably because the economy was still in a recession and immigration was low on the priority list

[stevenash]

I suppose that is possible, butI would have thought the best and brightest could easily multi task and address a number of issues. The recession hit bottom in summer of 2009 and the economy began its slow growth at that time. That would have been a full 15 months( with control of the White House and both Houses) before the next mid terms in 2010 if I am thinking correctly.

You expect too much out of politicians

Hmmm_ I am thinking we should expect more
