Keep dreaming. Sadly this is one of those "bipartisan" issues in which the GOP is in total agreement with the Democrats. Expect shamnesty to pass with large majorities in both houses.

Please Republicans...don't be the "party of NO"...

be the party of HELL NO.

If it's obama or any democrat siding up to you for a vote...run away as fast as possible, and oppose it. There's a "tar baby" in every democrat bill, and once you latch on, you can't let go...or the voters will let YOU go.

Murkowski is my senator and I hope she knows better than to vote for this thing. Anchorage might lean a bit to the left but not the state in general.

Hey didn’t they already say they were securing the borders and building a fence? I seem to recall some sort of law that was passed, way way back before time even started ... that said secure the border first.

Isn’t this the same scam run on Reagan? And wasn’t McCain part of it last time?

Why did Obum-boy cancel the fence?

Reform: 1 a : to put or change into an improved form or condition

Reform is the wrong word. Amnesty is the word. You can't win an argument if you allow the opponent to use inaccurate language. There's an enforcement problem with existing law. New laws are not required. Reform is not necessary and amnesty is not reform.

RE :”The White House is set to step up pressure on some key Republicans in hopes of winning support for comprehensive immigration reform. ..The administration is starting with a pool of 11 Republicans who voted for immigration reform in 2006. ...Each got a call from President Barack Obama from Air Force One two weeks ago. And last Wednesday, Obama stressed that without Republican support immigration reform is a nonstarter.

Just to remind you that Obama promised immigration reform/path to citizenship to the House Hispanic Caucus in return for their critical votes on the Senate version HR bill. That promise makes it difficult for him to give it up without even a failed vote, and democrats in congress do NOT want to vote on this without Republican cover(especially if it fails) , so they (Dems) are in a corner.

I have an idea, why doesn't he get GWB to come out and lecture republicans again so they (republicans) can get the blame again? “See you at the signing”.

BEFORE any Republican makes up their mind—I suggest that they spend a day with the family of rancher Robert Krentz, followed by an entire evening with the members of the Border Patrol, with open mic rules in place.

Congress doesn’t have a clue what is going on at the southern borders of the USA.

Republicans need to say they want the people to have a vote, no major legislation before Nov.

Otherwise, they are just helping this radical agenda succeed.

to the Obama crime family and thier mediawhores, any (alleged) Republican that might help them pass thier agenda is a “key Republican”. But in reality, they’re “idiot Republicans” that will aid and abet Obama’s comeback...

Well said and worth repeating.

RE :” Reform is the wrong word. Amnesty is the word.

Try this :Is “ Path to Citizenship” OK to say? It sounds so much better than amnesty. They pay a fine, or fee, or at least they have to say they are sorry in Spanish or at least look sorry.. OK , it's the thought that counts... and maybe they will vote Republican someday if we .... OK. that one hasn't been thought out very well... but if they are law biding...OK... maybe that's not a great argument either but they will be law biding after amnesty...err 'path to citizenship' at least for a while.

:) I thought you needed to remember all the old arguments. Remember when we used to hear this crap?
