Iran Agreement

World powers have reached a deal with Iran on limiting Iranian nuclear activity in return for the lifting of international economic sanctions.

Immigration becoming key GOP issue

 My question is why. This is not even a discussion of enacting sensible legislation for the 11-12 million undocumented residents; it is about border security and alleged criminality of those who come across (ignoring other means of entry) With issues such as jobs, income inequality, ISIS, Iran agreement, etc., this hardly the defining issue of our time.
