Immigration overhaul legislation has been dormant in the House for months, but a few Republicans are working behind the scenes to advance it at a time the Capitol is immersed in a partisan brawl over government spending and President Barack Obama's health care law.
The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, has been discussing possible legal status for the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. He's also been working with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a fellow Virginia Republican, on a bill offering citizenship to immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children.
Reps. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, and Ted Poe, R-Texas, are working on a plan to create a visa program allowing more lower-skilled workers into the country.

I don’t know how many times I have heard the democrats say that Obama care is the law of the land so suck it up.... we have immigration laws that are also law of the land, but it seems they are not enforced, in fact many are mocked, democrats and some republicans seem to ignore these immigration laws of the same land
And Obama and DHS have directed that parts of the immigration law be ignored. How does he get away with it?
Just ask any rat about “THE 2006 SECURE BORDER ACT”... LEGISLATION THAT STATES “SHALL BUILD A FENCE” to which not one inch of fence has been built... Why? Because they refused to fund it. THE SECURE BORDER ACT IS LAW... DOMA IS LAW... THE RATS REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE THESE LAWS SO SCREW THEM! To hell with all dimrats!
Shut it down. Burn it down.
Why?

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Lets start that conversation by acknowledging we arent going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
[but hes not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
He has helpers in both parties and not just a few judges are covering for him.
We have the insane notion that Obama can't be impeached because the Senate would never convict, not so, Impeachment is the Grand Jury with the means to investigate, doesn't matter all that much if they get the conviction.
“Reps. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, and Ted Poe, R-Texas, are working on a plan to create a visa program allowing more lower-skilled workers into the country.”
Brilliant now that unemployment is down to 5%.

What’s the deal with Poe. I get so tired of having to fight Republicans from Texas. We don’t need any more low-skilled workers in the country and, most of all, in Texas. Sure hope they’ve cleaned out their mailboxes and have started answering their phones again. Next thing you know he’ll be on TV supporting the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Houston along with the wonderful gay mayor.
Steve King has been arguing with Labrador for a while.

40 minutes in King and Labrador argue over the GOP winning future elections. Id vote Democrat in the house to get rid of Poe and make the GOP house conference more pro America.
Then vote for whoever the GOP Senate candidate for Texas is.
“Last I checked unemployment was over 7%.”
Did I really need a sarcasm tag?
