Where can I find the language for this amnesty bill? I believe that there was a Democrat bill that has gone nowhere and will go nowhere. I am unaware of any Republican bill, which of course, will not happen in this Congress in any event.
So the question really is: what bill will be put forward in the Next Congress and how will the Congress proceed? Will there be hearings? Will illegalities within ICE be discussed? Will witnesses describe how political appointees have harassed, intimidated, and engaged in retribution against career employees? Will the new Congress be aware of the dramatic shift in public opinion on this issue? Both Houses will have the opportunity to stake out its own views and bring forward its own plan. My version of an Amnesty bill would round up every illegal immigrant in the country and expose them to a wide range of corrective action. Such a bill could be called an Amnesty bill without offering much amnesty, except for a deserving few. The devil is in the details.
I think its too early to judge what the next Congress will do, they are after all, politicians and they wave like the winter wheat on a spring breeze. It could be the gloom and doom that many have predicted. It could be something else. Current predictions aren’t worth much.
of course it’s too early to be doing this. but doing this is what we do, and we just can’t help ourselves.
But the 'doom and gloom' crowd on FR can't wait to nullify the last election!
