Terrific! Chucky and Limpy have included a National ID card. That right there virtually guarantees this will go nowhere.

WASHINGTON -- Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Chuck Schumer of New York discussed major immigration reforms Thursday with President Barack Obama at a White House meeting.
Graham, a Republican, waded back into a political minefield on a controversial issue that has prompted conservative activists across the nation to vilify him since he helped lead a failed Senate bid to overhaul the immigration system in 2007.
Obama has faced more recent criticism from Latino lawmakers and advocacy groups accusing him of failing to deliver on a 2008 campaign promise to help the 12 million undocumented workers in the United States.
Graham said after the White House session that he had warned Obama against bending Senate rules in order to pass health care legislation, saying that move would imperil the president's other legislative initiatives.
"I expressed in no uncertain terms my belief that immigration reform could come to a halt for the year if health care reconciliation goes forward," Graham said.
"For more than a year, health care has sucked most of the energy out of the room," he said. "Using reconciliation to push health care through will make it much harder for Congress to come together on a topic as important as immigration."
Reconciliation is the parliamentary term for moving budget-related legislation through the Senate with a simple majority vote instead of the normal 60 votes required to cut off debate and move to final passage.
Graham and Schumer said establishing a biometric Social Security card must be the centerpiece of a new immigration measure.

whats the matter with him all it means is more left wing votes for obama
So the last supposed deal was, “we’ll build a fence in exchange for amnesty.”
The people demanded to see the fence first. Turns out, the fence is a “virtual” fence that doesn’t work.
So now it’s a new deal, “we’ll establish national identity cards in exchange for amnesty.”
But the new deal is not even a deal at all. It’s a win-win for the radical Left statists with both totalitarian police state control (your papers, please) and a permanent socialist majority.
They could easily come up with a tamper proof SS cards and green cards. No biometrics needed. It would also cost a fraction of this biometrics crapola. And oh yeah, build the HUNTER border fence NOW
The traitors are back.
It will be as dead as McCuckoo’s plan.
When is Lindsey Graham up for re-election? Surely the people of South Carolina can do better than that. Surely.
2014. And yes we can and yes we will. Too bad SC doesn't have a recall law.
Terrific! Chucky and Limpy have included a National ID card. That right there virtually guarantees this will go nowhere.

What is wrong with this guy?!!!!
I simply cannot understand his position on this issue!
Anyone have any guesses?
They never left.
A pox on the House of South Carolina for giving us this kook!
Check his closet. Secret Latin lover???
“Wonder if it will be as expensive as McCain’s 2.6 trillion Amnesty plan? “
The border patrol says 10,000 foreign nationals enter this country illegally every day. Since a couple years have passed, and several million more are here, I’d say it’s going to be a LOT more expensive.
“Anyone have any guesses?”
$$$$
Plus he’s an idiot.
Think you nailed it AuntB.
We sure don’t need any more champions of his type.
Keep up the good fight!
