Congressmen dig in heels, won't find common ground

Editor,

A note regarding Congressman Jason Chaffetz: “The only way we get to where the church wants to be is when we get Democrats and Republicans agreeing. And when we do have common ground, we should vote and pass that and move to the next step.” These are his words following the recent meeting between Elder Peter Uchdorf of the LDS First Presidency and President Obama, in which they discussed immigration policy. Of course this is the way public policy should be made.
