It’s been addressed several times.
IF the GOP got the majority, they could be persuaded to drop amnesty. Like bush 43 was persuaded to drop harriet miers.
If the GOP doesn’t get the majority, it doesn’t matter because amnesty is going to be shoved down our throats anyway.
“It’s been addressed several times.”

Where?
Where are the hundreds of scalded toes we were assured would happen if they went lib on us?
Where?
Frauds.
Why don't they oppose amnesty and campaign on that opposition? Polls consistently show that not only are the vast majority of Americans opposed to it, but it's also one of the top issues among voters.
The fact that a Republican in public office would even need to be "persuaded" to drop this issue is pathetic -- and is indicative of just how tone-deaf the leadership of that party has become. I'm sure the establishment GOP is gearing up a big PR campaign to place the blame for their defeats on the "Tea Party types and purists who stayed home," but that will hold no water when they themselves came down on the wrong side of such an important issue among their own supporters.

Decades ago, when I worked at Nasa. There were people who voted for Clinton, even though they were told that he would cut their jobs. Clinton was elected, their jobs were cut... they were surprised.
Harriet Miers was a disaster in many ways, not just from the conservatives. Those same forces will not oppose immigration reform.

Nope. If we keep the house, we keep grid-lock. The two parties don’t want to work together. Given a choice between gridlock and a liberal reform of immigration policy.
I choose gridlock. Maybe a nice 50/50 gridlock where the RINOs get to see how dems share power and we are still in a good position for 2016... but I still prefer gridlock to RINO policy.
