When the democratic party had super-majority their primary focus was strictly economical the first year and maybe a half. Credit card regulations, bank regulations, extension of unemployment benefits because the job situation was bleak, and finishing up with drafts of health reform. This doesn't include the Haiti relief program or the massive oil spill that demanded necessary and immediate attention.
There were a list of problems and immigration was not an immediate problem, in fact it declined because the economy got so messed up. The reason it's an issue now is because of the dream act causing a misinterpretation leading to an entire migration of children who NEED help. Whether the united states is entitled to give that help is an entirely different discussion.
The problem I see is, another GOP/Republican victimizing their party in order to gain a distraction of their very, very, apathetic, and frankly crass solution to just hurdle them up, throw em out and build a 50 foot wall with side-swaying saws.
I guess given Congress' overall terrible work ethic, that's a good point, but it still doesn't make it RIGHT. If they actually did pomegranate at a pace of a full time job for any normal person, they could easily handle 5-10x the workload they currently do. Even more if they spent less time grandstanding and more time actually doing things.
