Exclusive--Issa Confirms: Drafting Bill to Grant Legal Status to Some Illegal Aliens
Breitbart ^ | 10/23/2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 10/23/2013 5:01:52 PM PDT by Rusty0604

A spokesman for House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) confirmed to Breitbart News on Wednesday that the chairman is currently drafting legislation that would grant legal status to at least some of America’s 11 million illegal immigrants.

On Tuesday morning, The Hill reported that Issa was working on such a bill. “Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has also started work on a bill that would deal with the immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, and has been briefing stakeholders on it for feedback, according to three people familiar with the matter,” The Hill’s Jennifer Martinez wrote. “It’s unclear when Issa will put the bill forward, sources say, but his aim is to jump-start a discussion in the House about the divisive issue.”

Is it 11? Or 20?

They seem determined to legalize the illegals. I wish they were as determined to secure the border.

I’d consider amnesty for aliens who served in the military for several years and were honorably discharged.

That’s about it. Too bad that’s not what they have in mind.

Told ya Issa was a disaster. He has screwed up EVERY investigation. Horribly prepared and no endgame. And now this?

Why is all we have just a bunch of screamers with no plan? It’s sad.

Me too, if they serve in the military, but no amnesty for going to college.

11 million illegal immigrants.

since x42i it's been 12 million illegals and 23 million uninsured.
20 years later it's 11 million illegals an 50 million uninsured.

GOP is being pressured by the Chamber of Commerce and big corporations to get this done. Issa is from ultra-liberal CA who no doubt if he doesn't do something, some lib will easily beat him next year.

Working and middle-class Americans are truly getting the shaft by both parties.

This guy has always been a risky basket to put all our investigative and legislative eggs in.

First of all, he’s stretched way too thin.

But worst of all - and perhaps inevitably - he talks a good game but has proven toothless on numerous slam dunk scandals. His meek response to Lois Lerner’s outrageous stonewalling was shameful.

We have so many young citizens with college degrees (some useless) that taxpayers will probably end up paying for and they can’t even get a job at McDonalds.

Is Issa nuts? More conservative (former) Republican defections next year.
