Ah, I see.
You want the House to conferee with the AMNESTY Senate bill, but you don't want the Senate to take up the House bill.
Just like RINOs who want conservatives to hold their noses and support them, but when conservatives run, feh, they can't win let 'em die.
IT's not what I want, it is what is now happening. Geeze.

one-way compromise stinks, doesnt it?
The obvous compromise is so simple:
There is a national consensus that we must secure our borders and enforce the immigration laws better. While we should find a reasonable approach to handle illegal immigrants in the U.S. now, there is no consensus on the answer. The Senate bill is not the answer, it repeats errors of the 1986 massive legalization/amnesty and contains far too many provisions that incite further illegal immigration and undermine the rule of law in immigration.
The conference should write a bill that covers the critical needs in immigration:
Secure the border first
Set up an employment verification system that works
Streamline deportation and immigration law to reduce litigation in deportations
Involve State and local law enforcement in immigration law enforcement
All of that is embodied in the House bill today, HR4437, and should be readily adopted by the conference committee. Such a common-ground bill would be a good ‘down payment’ on immigration reform that deals with the immediate immigration crisis and helps move us forward to address remaining immigration issues.
