Morning Bell: A Leftist Wish List vs. National Security


One of the foremost responsibilities of the federal government is to ensure the security of our nation.

This legislation is necessary to fund the defense of the United States and its interests abroad. The House already passed their bill in May. But Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) would rather talk about amnesty.
