Walking and chewing gum at the same time are a thing, you know.

I do. But I also know that you can't simultaneously be pushing your Senators and House members on tough votes on lots of different issues at once. There's only so much that can be pushed into the legislative calendar. They were trying to do economic policies to respond to the Great Recession, the health care bill, and climate legislation during that first two years.

"Comprehensive immigration reform" has been tried several times, but it fails for the same basic reason - there is a large enough portion of the Republican base that fundamentally rejects it that it cannot pass. And at least for the last twenty years, that's also been the position of the most important media voices of the right - Limbaugh and Fox.
