Mike Barnicle asks Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) about Republican support for including provisions to tackle President Barack Obama’s actions on immigration in a bill meant to fund the Department of Homeland Security. “It’s not the right way to do it," says Mike. "A lot of people don't understand why these bills are combined in the first place. It's like going to the grocery store and paying your grocery bill and the cashier suddenly says to you, ‘oh, you've got to pay your home heating bill here too or you don't get your groceries.’ Why not split the two and vote on them separately?,” continues Mike during the conversation with Sen. Johnson on Morning Joe. Watch it here.
