If that were true then why did Obama just say that he Obama was going to issue an executive order giving Amnesty to illegal aliens or to “do immigration reform” by executive order.
it's because he knows the Republicans will never pass Amnesty
Clinton wanted Amnesty. Bush wanted Amnesty badly. Obama has wanted Amnesty .and Republicans have stopped Amnesty since 1994. Republicans used only a simple majority in the House to stop amnesty for all these years. but you anti-Gopers keep saying every day for decades that Republicans want Amnesty . well then why haven't they passed it then since every President for the last 20 years has lusted after amnesty (clinton, w Bush, Obama )? Democrats sure want it . democrats would get 40 million new voters over night with Amnesty. so the whole group of you have been brainwashed by someone or given wrong info. say a lie often enough and you will believe it. not me cause i know history
its your barack who is on the verge of passing amnesty with an executive order. this is illegal and unconstitutional and you all are worried about what Republicans “want “ to do? get into reality.
Well you ignore that GOPe Senators like McCain, Rubio, Graham and all the others under McConnell have pushed Comprehensive Immigration Reform which is amnesty.
Boehner in the House has said he wants to get Comprehensive Immigration Reform done and he has said recently that it will be addressed in this next Congress.
And the US Chamber of Commerce which funds a lot or GOPe has made it clear they want amnesty.
Romney is for amnesty and he, his money and financial connections are still influential in the GOPe.
Many GOPe Senators have voiced that immigration reform should be done piece meal and Obama has said in the press that he can accept a piece meal approach.
So it’s not lies. It’s all based on fact. The GOPe leadership wants amnesty and they will find a way to ‘sell’ it to the voters or they will find a way to pass it with minimal damage.
The reason amnesty has not yet passed is NOT because of the GOPe, it is because Conservatives in the House and certain US Senators like Senator Jeff Sessions have forced Boehner to answer the question “Can you trust Obama with enforcing border security?”. Boehner backed off this last year but has already indicated he wants to get it done in 2015.
The 2006 Comprehensive Immigration Reform was likewise pushed by GW Bush when he was President and certain GOPe House Members and Senators. They were also stopped because Americans ‘melted’ down the phone and fax lines at the Capitol Switchboard and because Conservatives again caused the idea to be shelved.
Since 2006, GOPe members have learned to push border security first and then follow with the full amnesty in as many separate pieces as possible.
