The constant criticism of making improvements to the asylum refugee system is weakening support for legitimate immigration.
We have spent months in debate on improving maternal health. When a natural disaster strikes the opposition suggest the government must be bigoted for not moving as fast as they did in Haiti. It is time to send a message to the opposition parties that the games on the Hill must stop.
