Chuck Schumer: OK with piecemeal immigration approach
Politico ^ | 8/7/13 11:50 AM EDT | SEUNG MIN KIM

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) made his clearest indication yet that he would be fine with a piecemeal approach to immigration reform preferred by the Republican-led House.

Schumer, the leader of the Gang of Eight whose comprehensive immigration reform legislation passed the Senate in June, said even if the House passes separate bills, those measures could eventually be bundled in a House-Senate conference committee.

Whew, what a relief!
It sounds like this smug little punk already has something worked out with the traitorous GOP House "leadership".

Schumck is a pig of the highest order. Rape Murder Mayhem. Evil upon evil. Yet he is re-elected time and time again. Or as Forrest would say "Stupid is as Stupid does"!

The Schmuck had perfect SAT scores and graduated from Harvard Law School with honors.

He isn't stupid; he is diabolically evil.

Take him up on it. Vote each item various folks (left or right) have wanted, one at a time. Start with finishing the fence.

I once knew well an old attorney here in Seattle, an attorney that at one time operated a law firm of 50 lawyers and was wealthy.

He told me the most powerful man in the world was an Italian living in NYC.

I asked “why”?

And he said because he can make 7 million votes appear out of the blue.

I gather some of the Repubs are onto him---could explain slow-walking Imig/reform, and so on.

I think the GOP is onto him as you say. Just think how Obama couldn't get gun control passed...and that was when he was supposed to have the most political capital i.e. just after an election. The Repubs know this.

In addition...the only reason Obama may have won at all was because the IRS fraudulently shut out hundreds of conservative grassroots non-profits from taking part in the election.

The media is trying as hard as they can to portray Obama as still having charisma among the public. Well, I think it's a sham and the emperor is losing his clothes very fast.

Scummer sez, “Just get that baby to conference committee and we’ll take it from there”.

Pass a ham sandwich if you want.

The first ‘piece’ of the Bill will be sent to the Senate from the House, at which point the Senate will GUT it, CHANGE the title to ‘DREAM’ something or other and it will become the ENTIRE BILL.

I have been watching Cantor, and I don’t like his verbiage one bit.
