Senators Nearing Agreement On Broad Immigration Reform Proposal

By Rosalind S. Helderman and David Nakamura January 25

A working group of senators from both parties is nearing agreement on broad principles for overhauling the nation’s immigration laws, representing the most substantive bipartisan effort toward comprehensive legislation in years.

The six members have met quietly since the November election, most recently on Wednesday. Congressional aides stressed there is not yet final agreement, but they have eyed next Friday as a target date for a possible public announcement.

The talks mark the most in-depth negotiations involving members of both parties since a similar effort broke down in 2010 without producing a bill.

“We have basic agreement on many of the core principles,” Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), a member of the group, said this week. “Now we have to draft it. It takes time.”

“The group we’ve been meeting with — and it’s equal number of Democrats and Republicans — we’re real close,” added Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), another member of the group.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a veteran of the 2007 effort who is part of the current working group, said Republican attitudes have dramatically shifted since the party’s defeat at the polls in November.

ie Illegal aliens voting illegally for Obama is what turned the election in his favor and won the election.

Ineligible Illegal aliens voting illegally is voter fraud

Pretty much outright admission that voter fraud played a decisive role in the 2012 elections.

Actually, a better analogy is probably the institution of Black Minority Rule in South Africa.

Venezuelans did not have the hatred for the middle class that many have for the white middle class in the US.

America as we know it committed suicide on November 6th 2012 and middle class voters voted for their own liquidation -One Man, One Vote, One Last Time.

Hope America's middle class learns to love their new third world lives and status as second class citizens in their own country.

Hope they also learn to love the new American Motto-“Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada” “For the Race, everything, outside the Race, nothing”

Hint - when they talk race, they ain't talking about Anglo-Saxons.

The elections of 2014 and 2016 have already been lost.

The Republican leadership is showing that it is just not up for the job of governance. In pandering to illegal aliens, they will find that far more once-regular Republican voters will stay home. As Hillary Clinton would say, Democrat, Republican, what difference does it make!

The Republican demise started in 2006-2007 when Bush, McCain, Rove, Graham and ilk tried to force amnesty down our throats.

Republican voters stayed home in increasing numbers in 2006 and 2008, and again in 2012. They felt sold out by their own leaders. McCain and Romney could not reach the vote totals that Bush got in 2004, before he started on his amnesty jihad.

Remember how important Ohio was in the last three elections? Well, amnesty will create 11 million new Democrats equal to the size of Ohio. (In actual count, 30-40 million, or a new Texas all voting Democrat!)

Consider me one of those staying home in 2014 and 2016. What difference does it make when Republicans are just democrats who belong to different country clubs.

I thought 10 years, but they would back-date when they came to get on the ObamaBucks, ObamaPhones, ObamaCare, ObamaGrants, ObamaGreenEnergy, ObamaAA, ObamaSection8, ObamaStamps...and let the Gringo foot the bill...

It’s only fair, you know, we stole the land. //sarc

DONT REWARD LAW-BREAKING BY CONFERRING THE PRECIOUS GIFT OF CITIZENHIP ON LAWBREAKERS. CONTACT YOUR CONG/man: Repubs need to act now----amnesty legislation should be amended to DENY citizenship in these categories (all instances cited leave a paper trail--and are easily verified).

(1) deny citizenship to illegals who purchased multiple forged/faked identities;

(2) deny citizenship to illegals who fraudulently voted in American elections;

(3) deny citizenship to illegals--and extended families--cashing one or more US govt checks;

(4) deny citizenship to all illegals convicted of crimes here and in their homelands;

(5) deny citizenship to illegals w/ fraudulent drivers' licenses;

(6) deny citizenship to illegals undermining the US ecocomy by sending US tax dollars back to their homelands;

(7) deny citizenship to illegals affiliated with latino organizations undermining US ntl security;

(8) deny citizenship to illegals connected to the hatemongering "La Raza"

(9) deny citizenship to students and advocates of "Raza Studies" (teaches killing of Americans); <>(10) deny citizenship to illegals who returned to US after being deported one or more times;

(11) deny citizenship to illegals whose parents fraudently declared them on EITC apps;

(12) deny citizenship to illegals who unlawfully received US govt gratuities in exchange for their votes;

(13) deny citizenship to those who made false claims of citizenship on job apps (US courts ruled this a deportable offense);

(14) deny citizenship to illegals using fake/forged Social Security numbers;

(15) deny citizenship to illegals who obtained fraudulent sub-prime mortgages;

(16) deny citizenship to illegals who defaulted on mortgages (and other debt).

(17) deny citizenship to illegals who skipped out on arrest warrants (violates US criminal law w/ arrest/jailtime for contempt).

..........and so on and so forth......

What good are new immigration laws when our Imperial Potentate, King Barack Obama The First, only enforces those he agrees with?

Arrest illegals...seize all of their property...deport them. This won’t happen apparently. Thank Goodness I’m old...old but sad. Maybe I’ll live long enough to see justice brought to those who are selling-out America.

I think part of the Obama/Democrat scheme is to provide more of an avenue and incentive to get illegals into the military.

They definately want to groom the military so they can count on them to use force against American citicens. Illegals hungry for citizenship of legal residency will be glad to accomodate them.
