Of course this is serious legislation, and it will have strong support from enough amnesty Republicans beholding to the Chamber of Commerce and the Wall Street Journal editorialists and all the Democrats in the House. The Democrat Senate and Obama will eagerly pass and sign it.

So ask yourself, why hasn't de facto amnesty passed already? Hint, it's very unpopular. They couldn't even pass the Dream Act. They couldn't pass amnesty when GWB had a GOP Congress in good times economically. Obama couldn't do it with a rat Congress.

They’re not passing amnesty - that’s a third rail.

That’s why they are trying these back door amnesty attempts, where they can hide the de facto amnesty in the small print of a more noble sounding program that the people won’t be aware of until it’s too late. Eventually one will sneak through. That’s why they tried the NEVA bill, then the Dream Act, and now the E-verify ploy.

If you think they can’t get away with it, then check the Obamacare bill that did pass, with allkinds of hidden provisions.
