The Capitol Steps : Debating Immigration Reform

Welcome to Talking Justice Sign in | Join | Help

The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

Debating Immigration Reform

The immigration debate has heated up as it has moved from Congress to the campaign trail. As if it wasn't hot enough already. Whose policy is toughest? Whose policy is "humane"? Who's in favor of amnesty? Why isn't anyone asking: who's going to build that fence anyway?
