President Barack Obama hasn’t given up on immigration reform, but he still needs a way to break through with House Republicans.

Conservatives sympathetic to the immigration reform effort, including former Bush Cabinet secretaries Michael Chertoff and Carlos Gutierrez; Carl Thorsen, former general counsel to ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay who is now working for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s immigration group; and representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers, met last month with White House chief of staff Denis McDonough and domestic policy adviser Cecilia Munoz.

GWB ain’t no conservative.

Business ‘leaders’ who jump on the NWO bandwagon are not conservative - and there’s no legitimate business reason to advocate amnesty anyway.

The House ain’t interested in being ‘moved’ by the bullschtein.

While I don't trust John Boehner and others in gOp leadership, this "pollutico" article surely has stretched extremely far (and inaccurately) in order to support the premise of the headline .....

Conservatives(?!) sympathetic to the immigration reform effort, including former Bush Cabinet secretaries Michael Chertoff and Carlos Gutierrez; Carl Thorsen, former general counsel to ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay who is now working for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (?!!) immigration group; and representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers, met last month with White House chief of staff Denis McDonough and domestic policy adviser Cecilia Munoz.

This pretend game that they will somehow make something like SS more solvent and be accretive to the GDP instead of a continuing drain like they are now, is absolute nonsense.
