We already look like the fool of the world, so yes, I agree with you completely, drag this embarassment out for as long as possible.
Already some are saying that amnesty won’t be talked about until 2014 or even 2016.
Not only that if GOP legislators vote for it then they will have no ability to vote for amnesty due to an outraged base. Amnesty is more important than any other issue now because we could lose everything on it.
