“Reid said he’s open to negotiating with Boehner if the House passes piece-meal legislation addressing immigration-related issues individually.”
Okay, cool. Pass a bill to close the borders immediately and secure them with enough guards to make a difference, then pass a bill to compel the INS to start deporting people.
Those are “immigration-related issues”, so tell Reid we’ll get to the rest of the issues on his list after we see how he handles that legislation.
Piece Meal means you grant amnesty to the Dreamers.
Then you grant amnesty to the parents and siblings.
Then you grant amnesty to any illegal who has ever stepped foot on a farm.
Then to any illegal who has stepped foot on a factory floor.
That’s why Rubio is still on the bandwagon and Rand Paul likes this amnesty lite idea.
The most positive part is the Gowdy SAFE Act. Which is the Arizona style immigration law nationwide. Once Goodlatte-Gowdy tries to pass that he is going to get accused of being racist. The hispanic lobby will admit they dont want to identify all levels of illegal alien criminals in a database.
The shutdown was good for the priorities of voters. Immigration is not an important issue for the voters. Anything that Reid and Obama allow to pass is not important. It also flipped some fence sitters against amnesty. The abusive phone calls they got hurt their feelings. They can’t handle it anymore.
