House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) says he sees “no reason” why current undocumented immigrants shouldn’t gain legal status as long as Congress enacts tougher border-security and enforcement measures.

RE :”House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) says he sees “no reason” why current undocumented immigrants shouldn’t gain legal status as long as Congress enacts tougher border-security and enforcement measures.”

Really?

And who will enforce those?
The same ones enforcing Obamacare rules?

[Mr. Peabody]

Because we’re in the middle of a recession and this will keep citizens unemployed? How about that reason? Because they broke the law and jumped in front of millions who are doing it legally? There’s another one.

Primary!

YOU LYING POS. ALL OF YOU OLD TIMERS IN GOVERNMENT HAVE CAUSED ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS... SPENT ALL OF THE MONEY AND CREATED ALL OF THE DEBT... AND NOW YOU WANT US TO ALLOW YOU TO FURTHER DESTROY AMERICA TO ENRICH YOUR BIG MONEY DONORS... WE SAY NO... FOAD!

He’s accepting the same promises given during the Reagan amnesty when they lied about securing the borders. How stupid does he think we are??

[Hostage]

Broken record. So many good intentions, so many broken promises.

[shoff]

Will the enforcement measures be as tough as the ones promised in 1995? (the ones that left us with 11 million more in 19 years)

[A_Cougar]

I just can’t get over that this is ANOTHER Republican!! We’re being sold out on all sides.

Its worse than that dude. Obama’s not promising us anything.

Goodlatte is in effect making the promise himself that some new law will force Obama to enforce it, which is at this point is a completely ludicrous argument given Obama's record.

To Obama law enforcement is completely optional, with him being King is the only one getting the options.

The immigration solution is just enforce the immigrations laws.

Then he is blind, stupid or a liar. Or all three.

Deport all illegal aliens now and the health care system in this country will fix itself.

Nothing passes until 1000 miles of double fence are in place!

[Altura Ct.]

Good Lord. I used to think that Goodlatte was one of the tough ones on immigration.

[Little Ray]

Is this guy an idiot or a subversive?

The reason is obvious. “Amnesty” with “border security” has been done before - and the Federales just ignored the part about about border security.

NO Amnesty.
Secure the border.
Then we’ll talk.

[turducken]

They all get to Washington and find out there's more money in open borders

Plus it means more cocktail party invitations

[Graewoulf]

What is the difference between RINO Goodlatte and the Commie Obama Administration Culture of refusal to enforce existing Federal Border Laws?

[rlmorel]

"...he sees “no reason” why current undocumented immigrants shouldn’t gain legal status as long as Congress enacts tougher border-security and enforcement measures..."

But they won't.

But They Won't.

BUT THEY WON'T.

(RINO, meet Lucy with Football.)

"...Nothing passes until 1000 miles of double fence are in place..."

With moats full of sharks with laser beams, motion sensing claymores and more.

These are good reasons to remove lawmakers from Washington. Move them back to their respective home states.

Everything they need to accomplish can be done with electronic connections. They would be closer to their constituents, and further from lobbyists and Washington parties.

At one time, Washington was about the center of the US. Today the country has grown west and north. The geographic center is somewhere in western Nebraska or South Dakota.

This is something that should be considered at the coming Convention of States.
