True, just because the leaders want something to pass doesn't make it automatic. And everyone of those House members are up in Nov.
Immigration reform does not automatically equate to amnesty
Positive aspects of a potential reform bill
1) Secure Borders
2) More rational selection of immigrants for example young highly educated refugees from Europe, UK, Africa and Asia. Set higher standards for new immigrants if they are going to be vital for the economic development of the country as we have been told by our politicians.
3) Crack down of false identity fraud
4) Crack down on non citizen voting. Illegals are felons and convicted felons lose their voting rights .
5) All immigrants by law must have a sponsor and are obligate to provide for their own welfare - no public entitlements for illegals . If legal immigrants who follow and respect our laws are not receiving welfare, why should illegal aliens do so.
6) Eliminate IRS fraud such as illegals claiming dependents in their home country who may or may not even exist so they can get the tax credits plus earned income tax credits
