I hate to be the one to tell folks this..., but a comprehensive immigration reform bill will take place, even if the Republicans do block Obama’s plans.
Look back at when Obamacare was implemented. Note that the Republicans didn’t repudiate the idea outright. They just wanted to pass a ‘good plan’ not his.
That’s what we’re talking about here as well. It galls everyone that Obama is about to act unilaterally, but the truth is, the Republican leadership is only interested in blocking Obama’s plan. They want to implement their own plan.
This being the case, it’s just laughable the puffed up chests of the GOPe on this. It’s all a dog n pony show. It’s smoke an mirrors of the worst variety.
Our majority in both bodies of Congress would give Obama just what he wanted by mid 2015.
At least if he does it, they think they’ll be absolved. And that’s all that is on their minds. To hell with the Republic. As long as the GOPe can can absolve itself, that’s all that matters to it.
yes, the waiting is the hardest part ... But we know better, don’t we? The waiting is the hardest part.
I fear I must agree with you.
I am really beginning to believe that the government is in such a tangled up mess...there is no way to untangle it. My optimism is really low.
....” the truth is, the Republican leadership is only interested in blocking Obama’s plan. They want to implement their own plan”.....
Well currently we have no other option they’re willing to do....so I’m for anything that blocks him at this point.
At any rate the Healthcare System has needed ‘reform’...and so does our immigration system....the problem is they have both grown to such huge entities and corruption so great nobody has wanted to tackle them for decades now.
I’ve often thought possible the trade has been the Demorats get to change the healthcare system and the Republicans the immigration system......for if they do stop this then it will fall into the Republicans lap to figure out in two years.
