A Nebraska Senator says Washington keeps getting weirder.
Senator Ben Sasse says Congress needs to get serious about addressing problems facing the nation, but he isn’t encouraged by some of the actions of members of Congress. . .

Sasse, a Republican, says Congress needs to look well beyond the president’s demand for money to erect a wall along the southern border. . .

Sasse says the majority of the illegal population in the country actually comes from VISA over-stays and not from border crossings.
