In both cases, the Senate passed a bipartisan immigration bill with more than enough cloture votes, but the legislation never got a vote on the floor of the House because Hastert(in 2006) and Boehner(in 2013) refuse to give it a vote.
I've read the US Constitution and never saw anything in it about the Hastert Rule.
Soooooo, if the Senate were to pass as bipartisan immigration bill in the next session, Pelosi would probably give it a vote.
“The republicans killed immigration reform twice, in 2006 and 2013, by invoking the Hastert Rule.”
What does Amnesty have to do with Border Security. If the Democrats gave a damn about Border Security, they’d work with the Republicans to close the loophole (Asylum claims) that has these huge numbers of Central Americans coming here.
There’s no need to create 10s of millions of new Democrat voters at the same time.
Both of those bills were “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” or amnesty.
Their purpose was to “Comprehensively Screw Americans Out Of Their Country”.
The citizens want border security and enforcement.
The GOP wanted to pass it but did not dare as they would have ceased to exist as a party.
