More than a hundred women including about two dozen undocumented women, were arrested at the nation’s capital yesterday, calling for passage of a comprehensive immigration bill. The bold act was designed to jump start a stalled bill in Congress, that has been pushed to the back burner because of the debate on Syria, and the upcoming battle over a government spending bill.

One of those states is California where two bills have made their way through both state houses while one was shelved.
