Gotta dig up a few more votes......................

Top House Democrats have promised to put key immigration bills on the floor this month — but President Joe Biden’s sweeping overhaul won’t be one of them.
The issue of what to do with Biden’s comprehensive immigration plan has bedeviled Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team, particularly after a disappointing whip count came back this week showing they don’t yet have the votes to pass the bill on the floor, according to people familiar with the talks.
So now Democrats are moving ahead with an alternative plan: Move the Biden bill through committee while the full House votes on more targeted immigration legislation that already enjoys broad caucus support.
The chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), confirmed the path forward, calling the Biden proposal both “important and serious.”
“We need to engage in some consultation with key members and stakeholders, but I see no reason why we wouldn’t mark it up when we reconvene in April,” Nadler said in a statement to POLITICO.
Biden’s proposal is a top priority for progressives and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who say it’s critical to take action in the early months of his term. But Democratic leaders were never going to bring up a bill on the floor that would fail — putting them on a tightrope as they try to keep all factions of their diverse caucus on board for a realistic approach to one of Washington’s thorniest issues. Further complicating matters, the White House has taken more of a hands-off approach to the bill’s future in the House, several lawmakers and aides said.

That is good for a laugh!
What they didn’t add the all natural citizens shall be required to be their domestic servants clause yet?
But they can pass HR1?
That means they think they no longer need the immigrant vote. They can cheat in other ways.
Nasty Pelosi is an efficient tyrant. She will get them in line.
Gotta dig up a few more votes......................
HR-1 is dying. It can’t die fast enough.
Rats want to decimate any election integrity since Election Theft 2020 went so great.
Most definitely.😒
Republicans will give them the help they need to pass it.
“Top House Democrats have promised to put key immigration bills on the floor this month...”
Don’t put them on the floor. Use the trash can.
If it is dying then why did it pass the house with all but one democrat voting for it?
If we cannot get one democrat in the senate to vote against it it is law, illegal, bad, and terrible law, but the law.
If it becomes law kiss the nation goodbye, there is no hope for for any election at any level!
It requires 60 votes in the Senate. Not even close but it will be used like a club in the 2022 elections.
It should.
If it passes, then every patriot should vote 1000 times.
Yes, I am serious. If they have to count every vote no matter how fraudulent then somebody should buy a second hand offset printer and run the mail in ballots off like toilet paper.
If you want to see the demonrats get serious about election fraud, let it happen to them. Give republican nominees for congress 100,000,000 votes and see how the demonrats squeal!
