DEMOCRACY NOW: As lawmakers face increasing pressure to come to a resolution 10 days into the government shutdown, we are joined by Arizona Democrat Rep. Raúl Grijalva, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. "This shutdown is contrived," Grijalva says.

"The fight over the debt ceiling and the budget is a harbinger of the fight over immigration," Grijalva says.

The urgency is still there, and now I think it’s up to us and community organizations throughout this country to ratchet up the pressure."
