Check this report out. Evidently Cornyn is working with Graham/Obama on amnesty.

The immigration reform debate has no doubt been stalled. But there is some behind-the-scenes movement.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he met this week with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. on the issue. “I am interested in some ideas he has. I shared some ideas I have,” Cornyn said.

Schumer has been working with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on coming up with a compromise. Meetings are also ongoing between business and labor leaders.

Reform advocates are furious that Congress and President Obama have done so little to push for change. National Council of La Raza (NLCR) has a new video out urging action. Another Washington rally is also planned for later this month.

Same old BS on criminal entry into our country -- reward the criminal by providing a 'path to citizenship'. I see Lindsey Graham's name associated with so much liberal folly, I have a hard time believing he's a Republican.

One very important point. This push toward citizenship for 20-30 million illegals puts the lie to all those promises about the health care bill NOT providing health care to illegals. Because they won't be 'illegals' anymore. They will be 'landed immigrants' on the path to free stuff.

Thanks for the heads-up on Cornyn. I’ll be watching.

John Cornyn called “a fence or a wall at the border a 19th-century solution to a 21st-century problem. ... Can’t people just go around it?”
