Michelle has done great work on the amnesty issues for years now. One aspect she did not address is: what will be the general stance on these issues of the new House of Representatives next year? Maybe it’s too early to have a good read on it, but I hope it will be a return to the days when any amnesty scheme was DOA in the House, as it was under Republican control pre-2006 mid-term elections.
And that reminds me how positively giddy W was after the big Republican losses of November 2006, just giddy to work with the new Dim majorities on his amnesty schemes. Thankfully, those attempts were defeated.
It is hardly a secret. If you know who the House Judiciary Committee and Immigration Subcommittee chairs are going to be, under the Republicans, you know that the focus is going to be on enforcement and border security, not amnesty. Dems will continued to introduce idiot legislation, but it will go no where.
