I honestly don’t know a whole lot about Labrador but as long as he is opposing the Senate bill and doesn’t end up supporting an equally bad bill I’ll reserve judgment. Also at least he acknowledges the Senate bill does not secure the border. If the House tries to push this bill through they will be sacrificing any chance of gains in 2014.

I am getting the feeling that we are watching some Kabuki theater. Like Rubio, Labrador claims we need to strengthen the bill with more border security and internal enforcement. I suspect we may see the House version of the Corker-Hoeven amendment that will give the House Reps the cover to vote for an amnesty and increased guest worker program.

The House Judiciary Committee has already passed a STEM bill to increase the number of permanent immigrant visas by 55,000 a year.

If the House pushes a bill thru not only is the GOP finished, but so is the country.
