BREAKING: 114-23, House GOP Rejects Senate Amnesty Bill
RedState ^ | 6/26/2007 | Erick

Posted on 06/26/2007 4:04:57 PM PDT by notes2005

In a just concluded House GOP Conference voted 114 to 23 to reject the Senate's Amnesty Bill.

Pelosi has now signaled that the House will start fresh on the Amnesty Bill and will not just embrace the Senate version.

It looks like, in fact, the House will . . . dare we say it . . . have committee hearings on the bill.

Who are the 23 and I thought there were more Republicans than 137.

When Pelosi isn’t sleeping in Reid’s hip pocket, he’s sleeping in hers.

This is all for show. There’s no open debate rule in the House.

Thank God for this, but the trouble is, they will start with their own version. I don't expect much better that the nonsense we got from the Senate.

God Help Us All!

Cold comfort.

But I’ll take it- today it’s all we’ve got.

Start by dumping the amnesty part of it...

Hopefully an "enforcement only" bill.

Vanity bill with no meaning on the real vote if this POS bill gets thru the Senate.

I think this is good. Maybe it will help in the Senate.

Hasn’t Pelosi stated several times that she will not bring the immigration bill to the floor unless there are 70 Republican votes in favor? If this is true and she holds to her word (I know) then there is hope. The democrats must have cover on this and they know it, but unlike the Senate the whole House is up for election next year and they know it!

If Heath Shuler from Western Carolina approves of this bill that allows illegal Mexicans to steal American jobs and suppress American wages, a smart opponent would cram it down his football throat from the one yard line.
