Scott Applewhite / AP"Our view of the law is that it — if somebody is here without sufficient documentation, that is not reason for deportation," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, said in an interview with Telemundo, a Spanish-language network. "If somebody has broken the law, committed a felony or something, that's a different story."
"What's interesting to me is that Democrats and Republicans know what they believe," Mrs. Pelosi said on MSNBC's "The Daily Rundown." "They know what they believe, and that's what's happening in Congress ... what's happening here now is we have a large segment of the Republican party that is anti-government. We don't want any more government than we need, but they're anti-government, anti-science and anti-Obama."
"They have a trifecta that is going," she continued. "Now, I say to the Republicans: Take back your party ... you come with confidence with the debate that goes on and try to influence the decision, but to obstruct every initiative that the president's put forth on jobs and then say, 'Why don't we have more jobs?' We do have more jobs, but no thanks to the Congress of the United States."
Mrs. Pelosi argued that while Democrats opposed Mr. Bush on many issues, including the Iraq War and his efforts to privatize Social Security, they also worked together on many issues such as the Wall Street bailout and energy legislation.
"We did not treat President Bush this way," she said. "We thought we had a responsibility to work with the president to get a job done for the American people and we did. This obstruction to President Obama is something quite stunning. It's something quite different."
Later Tuesday morning, House Speaker John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, said the GOP-led House has sent "dozens" of jobs bills to the Democratic-controlled Senate only to see them languish, and offered to work with the president on a number of issues.
"The president says he wants to make this a year of action," Mr. Boehner told reporters. "Well, it sounds good, but ... let's work together to pass trade promotion authority that would expand exports and create more jobs in America. Let's work together on building the Keystone Pipeline and the tens of thousands of jobs that would be created as a result."
"Let's work together, find common ground on the dozens of House-passed jobs bills that are sitting over in the United States Senate that really will help the American people have a better shot at a better job and higher wages," he continued.

Pelosi's rant is like the pot calling the kettle black.
Lol! Helping to push through the Wall Street Bailout is something to be proud of?!?! That alone could have solved the depression we are n now, had they given all that money to the people and let those banks fail like they deserved. If nothing else, the executives should have been imprisoned. But because they control the government, along with other "leaders", we have the system we see today.
"Mr. Boehner told reporters. "Well, it sounds good, but ... let's work together to pass trade promotion authority that would expand exports and create more jobs in America."
Is this some veiled reference to the TPP? Or NAFTA Part 2, as it should be known. He needn't worry. The globalists want the TPP to pass, so it will be passed.
Export Boehner and Pelosi.
Mr. Boehner told reporters. "Well, it sounds good, but ... let's work together to pass trade promotion authority that would expand exports and create more jobs in America."
We have nothing left to export but ridiculously inflated dollars that no one wants - and weapons systems. Not much to hold out hope for jobs and better wages. We don't even make our own cars anymore. Thanks to NAFTA they are screwed together in Mexico and Canada.
Ya want fries with that?
...have let perps of the most heinous crimes walk, so according to Nancy we should let all those we have convicted go free too
