Earth to LaRaza agent: Mexico and America are not the same country. Mexicans losing on the immigration bill here, can only be good for America.

Well, now if only the majority of these dumb Americans could only understand that. /S

Like they did with the "comprehensive immigration bill" in 1986? Not on your life!

Since we don't know (other than you) what would come out of a conference, I'm not sure of the comparison. Did the 1986 bill have strong border security? More effective enforcement? So your point is once something has failed, we should never try and fix it.

"Well, now if only the majority of these dumb Americans could only understand that"

Majority of Republicans( who are the majority party), have overwhilemimngly let their congressmen know they are totally against amnesty.
And they will vote in November.
That's what counts.

"Since we don't know (other than you) what would come out of a conference, I'm not sure of the comparison"

We are in our present pickle because we passed a stupid amnesty bill in 1986. Some thing that led to massive production of fake id's and a huge upsurge in illegals immigration.
The Senate Shamnesty bill is if anything even worse than that one.

"Did the 1986 bill have strong border security?"

The same Senate voted just a few days ago to stop funding for a wall.
Its here on FR somewhere.
The Senate is clearly not serious about securing our borders.
