After the conference ended, Norquist predicted the Gang of Eight would succeed, arguing that opponents like Sessions and Vitter, who sunk the last immigration bill in 2007, have been marginalized.
Restrictionists, Norquist said, are people who merely "think of themselves as conservatives."
"If you're a Republican, you look at the business community wants it, the religious community wants it," he told reporters. "Who is the opposition? Who in the modern Reagan Republican Party is a no?"

WASHINGTON The supporters of immigration reform who flanked the bipartisan Gang of Eight as they offered their immigration plan made for strange bedfellows, pairing the some of the loudest conservative activists with some of the most liberal.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka was present, and he stood next to none other than Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.
Also present was Neera Tanden, present of the liberal Center for American Progress, along with Eliseo Medina, secretary-treasurer of the SEIU.
On the opposite side of the aisle, but behind the same podium, was US Chamber of Commerce executive Vice President for government affairs, Bruce Josten.
Sen. John McCain, one of the authors of the bill, acknowledged that the group of people standing behind the podium were not often seen together.
I never thought Id be standing with Richard Trumka, he said, to laughs. But, he said, that broad bipartisan support was why he believed the bill would succeed.
The immigration reform bill was penned by a bipartisan group of eight senators: Republican Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake, and Marco Rubio, and Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez, and Michael Bennett.

NOTE: ACTUALLY it was written by Norquist & Conda! Norquist talked about it and it has the stench of Conda...everything hes ever wanted!
What results will not resemble what it replaced in any way shape or form. It will more closely resemble Brazil.
I expect such traitorous behavior from leftist democrats. Any republican who cooperates should see their political careers immediately terminated.
Unfortunately this will do nothing to stop the eminent destruction of the USA.
The gang of eight are a gang of traitors!!
FUMR!! Smug bastard!!
"I am convinced this issue will not fall victim to the usual partisan gridlock," Schumer said. "This bipartisan breakthrough offers a degree of hope."
Oh. It's not just a rape, but a gang rape.
This bill could be the worst legacy of the Obama administration, even moreso than Obamacare.
The alpha male of the Gang of Ocho, flanked by two of his pets.
There is no point in creating new immigration law if they still get to selectively enforce it.
The feral government needs to prove that it is capable of obeying the law. Once it does that, then we can talk.
Until then, FU all!
As Rush told him this afternoon on his show, only 4% of Hispanics make up the entire vote, yet there are more than 25% of conservative voters that this group is willing to alienate to reach the 4%.
Rubio is grabbing for the brass ring being offered by the "Renew our Economy" group and those millionaires who backed Romney in 2012.
Look what a boon to Romney it was, oops, I guess it wasn't actually a boon, Romney LOST!
“comprehensive immigration reform”
What is that ???
What does that mean ???
This is not about IMMIGRATION
Theres nothiong broken or wrong about immigration
This is not about IMMIGRANTS
This is about ILLEGAL ALIENS
This is about AMNESTY
This doesnt help IMMIGRANTS
It is designed to help those who dont want to IMMIGRATE
or are not eligible because or disease, criminal background etc...
The United States would not have qualified most of these ILLEGAL ALIENS for IMMIGRATION
So why are they considered good enough to push in line in front of those who have jumped through every hoop...some of them YEARS AGO but still wait..
THis is ANTI-IMMIGRATION
This is ANTI-AMERICAN
This is against the best interests of American and American citizens...
This is TREASON...
