You should let him know the joint statement from the leadership was appreciated, but they should NOT work on any bill that would get to a conference with the Senate bill. Remind him about what happened to the GOP majority in 2006 after they brought this bill up.........remind him nicely........:-)
How could an immigration bill passed in the House NOT go to conference, unless both houses agreed to drop it?
At first I called his office and kept asking how they were going to prevent a path-to-citizenship to materialize in conference. After no answer for a couple of weeks (We have millions of people who have various concerns....") I finally called back and said vote against the senate bill, and any house immigration bill.
Yes, I would like border security, but there is no rational way I can predict what would happen to such a bill.
If I get no response to questions about what might happen in conference, how should I tell him to vote?
