If Boehner brings the bill to the floor, it doesn't need anywhere near a majority of Reps to support it. They only need 25 to 30 Reps to support the amnesty bill. There are at least that many Reps who would vote for it. Boehner has done this before on several bills using a combination of the Dems plus a few Reps to pass it. Boehner, Cantor, Ryan, Goodlatte, Pete Sessions, and other leaders want to pass an immigration bill. The RNC wants an immigration bill to pass.
You see a immigration bill passed by Reid getting that?I dont. Reid will only accept citizenship,.
Reid and the Dems will pass a legalization bill that will lead to citizenship. There will be all kinds of propaganda to fool the low information voters on what is happening. And you will have the Rubios and Ryans claiming that this is not an amnesty.
Dems wont even go for a bill that has guest worker with no citizenship, it be like asking GOP to vote for Obamacare.
You are confusing guest workers (temporary work visas) with legal permanent immigrant visas. They are two distinct programs. The Dems and some Reps want to legalize the status of 11 to 20 million lawbreakers by issuing them green cards, which will then lead to citizenship. The Gang of 8 bill also increases legal immigration to 33 million over the next 10 years compared to the decade ending in 2010 with 13.9 million legal immigrants. That decade was the highest in American history.
Bachmann says...' ??? She's decided to not even try to get reelected again, I assume she will show up as a FNC contributor or a AM show host.
What's your point? Are you trying to invalidate the substance of what she said because she is not running again? Steve King, Lou Barletta and many other Tea Party Reps have said the same thing.
but he wont without GOP majority support. So amnesty will die.
I find it truly ironic that Bohner was certain to bring a Senate CR to the floor and pass it with Pelosi votes, yet the delusional fantasy by many here was “Just keep those phone calls up and it wont happen’, when it was absolutely sure to happen.
But here is a rare case where he vowed to not do what you claim he will, yet the *conventional*wisdom* seems to be the exact opposite of what he will do once again.
He's not going to do it. Its not a government shutdown.
They already did and its dead in the House, and another one would be too.
there is no substance there. She cited no sources(what she heard Rush say doesnt count) .
She is just auditioning for her next career as AM talk radio host.
