Holy cow a representative that knows his stuff
bombard Boehner now!

Boehner has been bought and paid for by amnesty supporters and must find a tricky pathway to get this thing passed and on Obama’s desk.
His statement about getting the support of a majority of Republicans may be true.
But IF THOSE REPUBLCANS GIVE ASSENT TO ANY IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION AND PASS IT OUT OF THE HOUSE, THE STAGE IS SET FOR A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE, FINAL PASSAGE AND OBAMA’S SIGNATURE ON AMNESTY......

'A blue slip is a resolution that automatically returns to the Senate any bill that violates the origination clause of the United States Constitution.' Is this some type of joke? First, almost all of the proposals Congress puts forth is Unconstitutional these days. Second, but more important, why isn't this used more often? Why for just this bill. Why not for every dam thing else?

At this point its all about Boehner using trickery and deceit to push amnesty through and get it to Obama.

So they didn't even do their usual trick of taking a House resolution naming "gopher appriciation day", gutting it and replacing it with their own bill? They are getting sloppy in their cockiness.

Tis a grandfather the illegal immigrant to citizenship bill.
If it passes, Obama can pardon them all, if it fails his pardons can be broken in court.
Lots of democrats and half the republicans have a very vested interest in this passing.
The honest ones don’t.

THE QUESTION IS SENATORS HOW COULD YOU PASS A 1200 PAGE BILL YOU HAVEN’T READ ?.. THAT HAS A FINE OF $5000 FOR ANY EMPLOYER WHO HIRES A CITIZEN OVER AN ILLEGAL ...WHY ARE YOU SO SET ON IMPORTING LOW WAGE LABORERS MAINLY FROM ONE COUNTRY WHICH TAKE UP JOBS OUR YOUTH AND ESPECIALLY BLACKS COULD BE PERFORMING ?
Not sure if Stockman is refering to that fine (revenue raising) and its constitutionality. Am also not clear on if the House can offer a separate bill and it not wind up going into conference. Hope Levin discusses it and clears these procedural matters up.

My rep is Commie Cohen. I suspect Boehner is as amenable as Cohen.

He is one more detestable individual. I feel for you especially given the exceptional woman who ran against him I guess it was 2012.
