I keep hearing that the House will ignore the Senate bill and do their own version.
WHY ??? Why not ignore the issue **entirely**: nothing gets passed, there can be no “conference report”, and the Senate bill dies on the vine. . .
Pass a resolution, on a party-line vote, demanding the immediate and full enforcement of the CURRENT immigration laws. ALL of them. . .
Makes perfect sense to me.
Why can’t we sue Obama for failing to enforce current laws?
Democrats will pan it as “mass deportations” which is widely seen as unworkable and unrealistic, not to mention cruel. The GOP candidates have not been effective at answering “what do you want to do with the 11 million?” They could answer with “enforce the law,” but then the reporter will ask “So, deport them all, even the DREAMers and the grandmothers? How about parents of US Citizen children?” The LIEberal media loves a sob story, and this is perfect for them because it gives them fodder to make accusations of racism, heartlessness etc to assail conservatives with during the election.
The House ought to try to get as many concessions as it can from the Pelosites, and then let a bill pass. Then let the socialists own it. It’s their mess and they have to explain it to the American people.
Whatever version the House writes will be gutted and re-written by the Senate and voted into law.
Dont these people ever learn??? And why do we need reform at all?? Expel these trespassers or use force if they dont comply.
I wish I could scream the following from roof top’s, but do not seem to have the ability to make it widely known; “If you control the dialogue, you control the issue”.
RINO’s and libs control gained control of the issue when they, unchallenged - merged the invasion of our southern border into an immigration issue! Understand that, and we can understand how Americans have been duped. THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT IMMIGRATION, but now Obama and his predecessors, ignoring their few actual Constitutional mandates - protecting the USA borders - is magically legitimized as feel good political dogma.
For conservatives to regain the issue, we MUST regain the dialogue! This is ONLY about America being invaded by a foreign country; Mexico. Resolve this invasion alone! If people wish to tweak our immigration policy, then do so separately. Immigration is important - but totally unrelated to what’s happening on our sothern borders!
