Most of the GOP House members don't, if you read their statement you would see that.
I understand the desire to see the worst, but from what they have said here, they are leaning in our direction. I realize we could be betrayed, but my take is we should be encouraged that our pressure is working and continue putting pressure on.
Today House Republicans affirmed that rather than take up the flawed legislation rushed through the Senate, House committees will continue their work on a step-by-step, common-sense approach to fixing what has long been a broken system.
That means, in Washingtonese, that they will not consider the Senate bill BUT they will begin work on the issue of immigration reform. They say that will include security but it will also, I guarantee you, some provisions for what to do about the millions who are here. And I am saying we should not be accepting the need for immigration reform as a premise, one that has been set for us by the marxists and then taken up by their useful idiots, like McCain. THERE IS NO NEED TO EVEN BE LOOKING AT NEW LAWS ON ILLEGAL ALIENS. There is no problem with the laws it is a problem of the men entrusted to enforce those laws. They have refused to do so since Bush I.
What the House should be doing is holding hearings on how the 1986 law was sold, how the people pushing it were disingenuous, how it was intended to work, why it hasn't been followed, how it would work if enforced, whether it needs to have some tweaks to things like verification of eligibility to work and the elements of criminal sanctions for employers and illegals, or whether it is sufficient. Then call in admin officials and excoriate them about not enforcing the border or building the fence. Maybe hold hearings on the provisions of Mexico's immigration laws and how it treats illegals.
You know, educate the people and put pressure on the other side about its failure to uphold the oath to faithfully execute the law. Not come up with a counter proposal so you can meet somewhere in between, which is what the statement indicates is what they will do.
If you read their statement carefully perhaps you would see that.
