The GOP does not actively have to do a thing, as you say.
The question, then, is why are they scrambling to get amnesty in? Pulling Obama into the project.
Do they want Obamacare to succeed? It can’t succeed without workers?
The healthcare.gov site is "only the latest episode in a string of information technology debacles by the federal government," wrote Clay Johnson and Harper Reed, two programmers with political pasts (Johnson was Howard Dean's lead programmer in 2004; Reed was the brain behind Obama's 2012 digital campaign) in a Times op-ed.
The pair went on: This latest failure is frustrating for us to watch ... We must find a fix to the federal procurement process that spares the government’s technology projects from the self-inflicted wounds of signing big contracts whose terms repeatedly and spectacularly go unmet.
The White House has promised that a "tech surge" of the "best and the brightest," including from Silicon Valley, has been brought in to repair the health-care site. But nobody knows, or is telling anyone, who those people actually are.
Contractors grilled at a congressional hearing this week wouldn't name names, and several tech executives questioned yesterday said they had no inside information on the makeup of the government's emergency coder team.
Verizon has reportedly been tapped to help with the revamp, but the extent of its involvement isn't known. Former budget official Jeffrey Zients is overseeing the rescue, but since he's not a known coder, his role is limited to managing the project.

(In a conference call, Zients predicted that the site would "work smoothly" by the end of November.) But the episode has confirmed the suspicions of many in Silicon Valley that the government's infrastructure, even on key projects, relies too heavily on outdated legacy systems and could be run more efficiently by those inside their own camp.
Have a veto-proof majority in the House and Senate;
Permanently rid ourselves of Obamacare and all its evil reincarnations and spawn, until eternity;
Do away with amnesty likewise, and enforce the existing border laws, and scrupulously vet candidates for residency and citizenship;
Pass and ratify all the Levin Liberty Amendments (or whatever he calls them) to remove any special privilege or advantage of lawmakers and politicians over We the People;
And fully restore the Republic and Constitution.
They see, smell, and hear this Doom approaching them, and they are in a panic are trying to get their feculent Rat's nest in order before All Hell rains down on them in the midterms.
The intense hatred of Americans is upon them, and they are about to pay a horrible toll for what they have done to our nation.
