What I can’t understand is why the Republicans don’t take control of this process. If a single one of them had a brain, they would PASS all the genuine border security amendments that were shot down in the senate and force the Democrats to vote against the bill. THEN the Republicans would end up with exactly the cover those cowards seek - - “Hey, Hispanics... It was the rats who killed the bill, not us.”
Whatever. As long as it dies. That’s the main objective.
House can’t pass anything re immigration OR both bills go to the conciliation committee (sausage grinder) and we know how that will come out.
Boehner has been talking tough: “We won’t even take up their bill. It is DOA. We’ll pass our own bill..etc”
Recipe for disaster, and he of course knows it. He’ll put Paul Ryan on conciliation committee and he and Rubio will ram it home. Beautiful “bi-partisan” product which Shumer will smile over
