Some in Republican Party Fear Fight With Obama on Immigration
US News and World Report AP ^ | 11/6/14 | CHARLES BABINGTON and MICHAEL J. MISHAK

There is concern firebrands may alienate Latino voters.

With President Barack Obama vowing to press ahead on immigration, prominent Hispanic Republicans are worried about the reaction of staunch conservatives. They fear it will harm the party's ability to win over Latinos in the next presidential election and beyond.

While immigration was generally a muted issue in midterm elections dominated by the GOP, Obama promised the next day to move ahead on his own to remove the threat of deportation or grant work permits to an unspecified number of immigrants living here illegally.

and Republicans blocked since 1994.Republicans held a majority in the House most of the years since 1994.

Republicans in the House voted 85% no to Amnesty in the last Amnesty votes during the Bush years

fact is Republicans have held a majority in House for most of the years since 1994 and since then there's been No Amnesty. Bush wanted Amnesty badly. Democrats wanted Amnesty as they will get 40 million new democrat voters. clinton wanted Amnesty , Obama wants amnesty. why haven't Republicans passed it since you say they want it so badly?

Why are the blessed RINO leaders out there pushing Amnesty? Answer that. Is it Opposite decade? Does that mean promising the people that told them no they are getting it is a good thing?

Are you even listening?

OMG, you need to read my post, preferably *before* replying to it. I didn’t say there were not other amnesty pushes — I said “the last amnesty push was in 2007.” As in the most recent, not that there weren’t prior pushes.

And where exactly did I claim Pelosi did not want amnesty? I said she needed some GOP votes as well in order to get amnesty over the top.

Please just read my post. Carefully. My goodness, some people are so anxious to jump all over someone, that they make asses of themselves.

If they are afraid to fight for the people who sent them to Congress, they ought to step down now.

The Senate has amnesty legislation passed and waiting for the House. Amnesty legislation that required cloture votes from liberal republicans.

Riddle me this:

If the Republicans are so against amnesty, as you say, why does the Republican leadership keeping coming back to supporting it, once again ticking off almost the entire base of the GOP?

3 days ago we could have stopped this. But it was too important to send Jonbon and Mitch back to DC NO MATTER WHAT.

why haven't Republicans passed Amnesty then since you all say they want to so badly? they could have passed it this year or any year since 1994 since all Presidents since then wanted it badly. This year the democrat senate passed Amnesty and all the House had to do was vote on it but they didn't.

do you all even realize that it is Obama who will give amnesty to illegals by himself, by executive order, link:

“With nothing left to lose, and as a Republican blowout in both houses looms mightily this evening, Obama is throwing caution to the wind and preparing to give legal status to nearly 11 million illegals by this Christmas”

if they want to so badly then why haven’t Republicans passed Amnesty then in the past 20 years? they’ve had plenty of chances even many most of this year.

There’s been no Amnesty . last Amnesty was during the Reagan years with a democrat House

Obama will act like a dictator and pass amnesty himself. does that worry you?
