The easiest thing is just to ignore the issue. That’s what Harry Reid does to everything that comes from the House. If you ignore an issue, it will go away.
The political campaigning for November begins In about 3 months. No Republican running for office would be craze to come out in support of amnesty. If Boehner can’t ram this issue throughout the house before the campaigning begins, the issue is dead.
They are not going to call it amnesty. From the article:
A Senate Democratic aide said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will take the lead on the trickiest element of reform, legislation to legalize an estimated 11 million illegal residents.
“The path will likely be a legalization bill that offers a path to citizenship through existing channels,” said the aide.
Left-leaning advocates of immigration reform say a proposal that would use existing processes to grant citizenship to a greater number of immigrants could serve as a viable alternative.
“Yes, with the provision that the existing channels are large enough,” said Brent Wilkes, national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens.
“These things may sound arbitrary, but they give different members in tough districts the ability to vote against different parts of immigration reform,” he said. “If some members need to take a walk on certain aspects of it, House leaders will let them do it.”
Obama expects these bills will add up to a series of reforms that can then be negotiated with the Senate.
The bottom line is that the GOPe think they can fool us. They will not call it amnesty, just using existing channels to provide a path to citizenship.
No can do! The United States Chamber of Commerce wants amnesty and they're not going to let their bought and paid for Speaker off the hook.
The USCC is a big an enemy to Liberty loving Americans as the democrat party.
It only takes a couple of dozen, really fewer, treasonous Republicans to pass anything Obama wants.
That's why our message to each of our representatives needs to be clear. We will not only expect a no vote, but we will hold our representative responsible for what their leadership team does here. If the Speaker and the other leaders push through any reform that even has a sniff of amnesty, we will stay home and they will lose in November. It's not just THEIR vote, but the leadership THEY put in place that will determine our decision in November. Even if the House pushes through more sensible reforms, the conference committee in this environment will add the worst of the Senate's bill into the final and the House will pass bad law. We will vote in November based on the final bill, not the House bill. It is near impossible to consider any immigration reform in this toxic environment because any reform will be soured by the Senate and abused by the unlawful executive branch.
