“You better hope the GOP leadership in Congress is watching. They are the ones pushing for amnesty”

Wrong. Amnesty needs the house, senate and president to pass. Gop has control of only the house.

Fact is the dems are 100% behind amnesty. The only thing stopping it is the house.

If the gop house opposes amnesty by anything less than 215-18, amnesty passes.

Let me repeat. If 18 gop house members decide to vote for amnesty, then amnesty will become law.

The fact that it is not law, tells you where most of the gop stands.

Now I know you think the gop must be robots and all must follow your commands, but they are independent humans with their own minds and free will.

So yes, amnesty is always in danger of passing despite most the gop being opposed.

McConnell made sure the Senate version of the bill got the cloture vote that Reid needed.

The speaker of the house fully intends to push amnesty, and bring it to a vote.

As I said. The GOP-E leadership needs to pay attention. They are the ones pushing amnesty, regardless of what everyone else wants.

The fact that it is not law tells me that the Speaker of the House hasn't allowed it to come to a vote yet. The House hasn't voted on the Amnesty bill.

The speaker has control over whether it gets a vote or not.
