???? Any bill that gives US citizenship is not that tough.
I could write a tough bill that would make it hurt Dems to support it.
This writer is on the amnesty side.
My theory is that the GOP wants this over by the 2016 primary and they figure they will pick up seats this year no matter what, but it will never be over. No matter what GOP passes Dems will demand more the next election.
Cokie Roberts on ABC Sunday claims the bill will be put up for a vote after its too late to file for primary challenges.
I guess that’s the reason. I sure can’t think of anything else except some of those idiots actually think they than get the Hispanic vote.
Republicans.
Get with the program. America’s problem isn’t that we do not have enough immigration.
America’s problem is that we do not have enough JOBS.
So, I read JHs article all the way through. AND?
It implies GOP RINOs want amnesty so they can get that mythical Hispanic vote. But it also indicates the very, very real counter to that Democrats stand to gain the great bounty - 20-50 million new ‘Hispanic’ formerly-illegal voters.
The truth is entrenched RINOs are hostage to their comfort with second-rate power, their money grubbing-totally-self-interested-consultants, business that values profit above sovereignty, and a general cowardice that keeps them from ‘being liked’ by the media and all the other attendees at their DC country club soirees.
JH rightly recounts all the things Obama has illegally done to flout immigration laws and policy meant to maintain our sovereignty. Yet, he fails to stress that RINO implementation of a capitulation amnesty plan serves only to legitimize what Obama has done and is doing.
Who said madness doesn’t exist on a wide scale. I say it exists with every RINO and GOPe nutball who has somehow convinced honest sovereign Americans to vote for them. This is true madness.
All it takes is for our leadership to eschew corruption. But, not likely.
Because they are going to get flushed down the crapper, and they know it.
The GOP thinks with the kenyan in the WH and obamacare on the table that the base will vote for them anyway. Sorry, no deal. Romney was my last hold your nose vote.
There is simply no longer any reason for a conservative to vote for a Republican party that does nothing but enable the progressive agenda.
Because they make more personal fortune being on the minority side and making side deals. Being in the majority is too much work, not enough pay.
It is tragic there is no intelligent discussion of such an important issue.
It can’t be immigration “reform” without strict numerical limits. An entitlement for anyone here is a disaster. Could add 50 million.
And it can’t be “reform” unless a considerable percentage of illegals are sent back to their own countries.
Ever hear anyone discussing this? If the middle class doesn’t stand up America is finished.
Because they don’t want the statists to lose power.
The one that puzzles me more than these RINO Republican’s push for immigration reform is Paul Ryan’s budget that cut Veteran’s retirement benefits.
What in the world did the Republican Party hope to gain by pushing every Veteran in this country out of the Republican Party and into Independent/unaffiliated?
The GOPe and the corrupt fascist Government Motors type corporations keep discriminating against America and want to show they are not greedy and racist by making friends with poor Obama and illegals.
Because they’ve already surrendered on everything else?
