Boehner hints a back down on 'amnesty'
The Washington Times ^ | March 29, 2006 | Charles hurt

Posted on 03/29/2006 7:15:28 AM PST by surely_you_jest

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

Enforcement issues tend to get that way when the laws aren't enforced for years

Yep just like the 55 mph speed limit that everybody ignored.

This immigration mess has been going on for a very long time and our current laws aren't working and the simple rhetoric thrown by some(such as throw farmers in jail for basically the crime of hiring people to pick crops etc.etc.,) borders on the bizarre.

I hope we don't see it anytime soon!

Frankly, I've never understood the opus thing; why not just leave.

I guess the temptation to "even old scores" is just too much for some people.

Yeah, that's the ticket! Illegal aliens are just like American citizens rushing to work in the morning.

And you argued that maybe they were legals under arrest for drugs.

BS; I said "for all we know"......do you not comprehend the English language, or are you just itching for a fight?

BTW, I was right; they turned out NOT to be under arrest for hoisting the Mexican flag.

When I leave, I'm going to write the most scathing opus. It'll be the talk of fr for years to come. (well, that's what I think they all hope their opus will be, then it turns into a 'don't let the door hit you on the ass' thread, and they come groveling back a week later)

Actually they are, the vast majority work everyday, unlike the Katrina evacuees who throw there noses at good paying jobs rebuilding their city.

It used to be, "I was a lurker" was legit. Now, it's most likely an ex freeper.

First of all, he is not a Communist.

If he were a Communist he would have run at the head of one of the 2-3 far-left, pseudo-Marxist political parties that do exist in Mexico.

Secondly, even if he were a Communist I doubt that he would be foolhardy enough to provoke a confrontation with a country that his people are entirely dependent upon.

Finally, there was no good candidates during that election.

Perhaps ejecting the PRI from office for the first time in seven decades was a good thing, at first.

However, the notion that Franciso Labistida or Cardenas would have been worse-or much different-than Fox had they been elected is absurd.
