JEB: Illegal aliens should be at the front of the jobs line
As for jobless Americans, I suppose the answer is: Let them eat pie, or let them eat when there is a bigger pie.

DHS Funding Extended for One Week
Tonight, the House passed a one-week extension of funding for the Department of Homeland Security and the Senate followed suit. The votes capped off a volatile day in which, for the most part, Republicans fought to defund President Obama’s executive amnesties after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., caved to Democrats who had been blocking the agency's funding.
Democrats hold DHS hostage and demand ransom of work permits for illegal aliens

Senate Passes 'Clean' DHS Spending Bill, House Continuing Resolution in Doubt
The Senate passed a DHS spending bill after Senators succeeded in stripping language that would have defunded President Obama’s executive amnesties. Going back on their deal with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Democrats blocked from consideration separate legislation to defund the executive amnesty announced on 11/20/14. Meanwhile, the House failed to pass a continuing resolution that would extend funding for the Homeland Security Department through March 19th. Speaker John Boehner will continue to seek votes tonight as the midnight funding deadline looms.
