However, he knows that there will be NO bill without a guest worker component so he is offering NO SOLUTION at all. He will just keep moving the goal posts since immigration is the only thing that keeps him in his phoney baloney job.

Bad logic, Texasforever. Let me break your argument down for you:

- Tancredo offers a solution.

- But he does not agree with someone else's solution.

- Thus he offers no solution.

Your argument doesn't work.

Just because he disagrees with someone else's solution does not invalidate the fact that he offers his own solution, which is to enforce existing laws first.

No because he KNOWS that the Senate conferrees will never accept his solution so he knows that there will be no bill if the House stands its ground. He also knows that he is a 2-bit politician that needs to ride this issue to death since he has nothing else to offer.

Just because he disagrees with someone else's solution does not invalidate the fact that he offers his own solution, which is to enforce existing laws first.

But, Tancredo will accept nothing but an enforcement bill. The Senate sent a clear signal that enforcement only is a non-starter.

The way things work in Congress is, the two Houses get together, take a little from this one, a little from that one, maybe come up with some things in neither bill, and there's your compromise.

It is extremely rare that one bill passes with no modifications, unless it is something like the marriage amendment or flag burning amendment, neither of which stands a ghost of a chance of passing but are mere vehicles to pander to the base.

And the House GOP has a bulls-eye on its back if there is no bill.
