Where I said “Listen I picked up on the “whole enchilada” strategy during the SAVE Act dust up. La Raza got mad at the dems because the bill was supposed to provide dems with cover during campaigning because it was an enforcement bill. La Raza went crazy because it had no amnesty provisions” I meant to add EVEN THOUGH THE DEMS NEVER INTENDED FOR THE BILL TO PASS, LA RAZA GOT MAD AT THEIR FRIENDS FOR NOT INCLUDING SOME FORM OF AMNESTY. All or nothing.

OK, now I know what you are talking about.

Do you honestly think that if you substitute La Raza for Hispanic Caucus, it will affect the outcome? Or that you will confuse agribusiness or the landscape industry as to what is going on in Congress.

The Hispanic Caucus' intent was not about immigration reform, it was about retaliating. And they have done that.

The GOP's attempt to extend the H2B quota increase has been blocked. The question you should be asking is why the GOP hasn't tried to use a discharge petition to get that legislation out of committee.
