House was going to vote down immigration no matter what with Representatives like Bachmann, Gohmert and others. Didn’t even Boehner give in to House pressure not to bring immigration up. The House has a strong conservative base, a Senator isn’t going to tell them what to do.
“House was going to vote down immigration no matter what with Representatives like Bachmann, Gohmert and others...”
Unfortunately the Dems get to vote in the House too, and if they stay united, only 16 Republicans are needed to jump, and several already have jumped. I would agree that the vast majority of Republicans in the House will vote no, but they won’t be able to stop it if those 16 votes are rounded up.
The main question is what Boehner will do and that is very sad. If it’s an important issue, Boehner should check with the Republicans, and if he finds something like 80% saying no (which is the case here), then it should be GAME OVER for that bill...but no - yet more drama from the House, Cantor and other losers try DESPERATELY to “craft a compromise”.
On further thought, the Dems should have taken the offer from Cruz. It would have only slowed their efforts a bit to make this country Third World, and that could have been dealt with VERY EASILY through the judicial system - with the Courts ruling that legal residents here cannot be “Second Class Americans” (i.e., no voting rights), forever. And bamm!! Full up Amnesty and all that goes with it.
Now, hopefully this thing dies off and stays dead, until we start talking about self-deporting again.
