The editorial board of WSJ has already admitted this bill will go down in flames. Why the phony, hopeful optimism?
Even if it should pass the Senate, it still has to clear the House, which ought to be a little tougher on it.
The WSJ editorial board is a bunch of Poofers in love with open borders. They like preaching from their Elite podiums about Free Markets and Free People....but are too cowardly to debate a real opponent like NR....WSJ Eds are a bunch of prissy boyz who need to get a set!
Is their admission from this clip ?
“Clearly the reception to the immigration bill is mixed,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), in an email. Her office has received tens of thousands of emails, letters and postcards on the issue. She said there are “large numbers of people who are supportive” and another group “strongly opposed.”
Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson, one of the negotiators, said about two-thirds of the people from his home state of Georgia who have contacted him are supportive or have misconceptions about the bill that can be cleared up. The rest are strongly opposed and “don’t want to talk about it,” he said.
Do you see what they are doing? Everyone knows the opposition to this bill is like 75% against or more. They are focusing on the people who support it and sayint that just a few tweaks is all that is needed to appease the 75% against.
They really are clueless.
Well of course they want to go back to emotion based never ending exponentially increasing mindless chain migration. The dems certainly DO NOT want intelligent higher income smart immigrants, they want socialist-indoctrinated peasants.
Mr. Cornyn, who has been critical of the bill, said immigration "overwhelmed every other issue" brought up by constituents as he toured his state during the recess. "They don't think Washington is listening to them, and they're very frustrated," he said. "If other members of the Senate are hearing what I'm hearing...I think the momentum is shifting the other way."
I suppose that is the "bill is going down in flames" part.
Personally, I thought it would have been dead and gone by now, but it isn't. What we are probably seeing is the real "big push." I would look for any dirty underhanded trick the dems and the President can come up with to ram the bill down Americas throat.
Remember, it was only about six weeks ago that we were all hearing "oh, there will be no attempts to pass immigration reform this year..."
Yea, right.
Right then our "Republican" President was lying to us and plotting in secrete with the hard core communist democrats to stab American Citizens in the back.
“slug it out”...Oh yeah; I can see the little, limp-wrist, sissy, Lindsey Graham puttin’ a cowboy whoopin’ on somebody.
Where did you hear that? They've been shilling for this travesty called reform. I hope their political analysis is more accurate and logical than their open border idiocy.
