The GOP-e has been wanting to grant amnesty to illegal aliens since the George W. Bush administration. The recent election gives them the perfect opportunity.
I also believe the Republican establishment is secretly pleased that they don’t have to fight to overturn Obamacare. They want the power it transfers to the federal government as much as the Dems do.
You’re right, but Republican controlled Houses have always rejected amnesty, but Boner is a whole new ball game. I just hope very few other Republican House members join him. I have no idea how it will go with Boner as ‘leader’ of the Republicans in the House.
