Representative Raul Labrador, a man who puts the Tea Party first and his constituents second (..or third, after the Heritage Foundation) has a message for the rest of America. "President Obama won't let us destroy America so we aren't going to play".
Raul Labrador now says that the GOP is unwilling to address Immigration Reform in any manner because:
“I think what [President Barack Obama] has done over the last two and half weeks, he’s trying to destroy the Republican Party and I think that anything we negotiate right now with the president on immigration will be with that same goal in mind, which is to destroy the Republican Party and not to get good policies.”

That's right. If only the President had given the Tea Party extremists everything they wanted, if President Obama had ignored the needs of those people that need health care, and dismissed citizens who had no insurance and could get no insurance, we could have immigration reform. Only that immigration reform would obviously have to be something that the Tea Party entirely agreed to...or "Shut down the government".
Feel free to visit Rep. Labrador's Facebook page and let him know that it isn't our President destroying the Republican Party, its inane positions such as this that have more to do with school yard bullies than with our nation's governance.
