The GOP cannot do ANYTHING quickly. The Democrats control the Senate for the next 2 months. Reid will block anything so Obama can claim he’s acting because Congress will not.
However, America is not buying what Obama is selling. If the Democrats were smart, the more conservative Dem senators would ally with the GOP and pass a “Border Security” bill - which Obama would then veto so he could impose amnesty. But by doing so, the Dems voting for it would have some cover when their constituents get pissed.

You’re probably right about that but...Reid is not a happy camper right now. The election was a disaster for him and he seems very angry at Obama. Who knows what Reid will do under the present circumstances?
Obama is essentially a lame duck already and Reid has to look ahead. At the present time, Dems have a huge image problem. Again, you’re probably right that he will continue blocking things but there’s a slight chance that some things may be allowed to get through just to spite Obama for the damage has done to their party and to better position them down the road. Just my 2 cents.
