Both immigration and tax reform are said to be on the agenda for the upcoming House retreat. Lame duck Ways and Means Chair David Camp is going to try –again– to persuade House GOP members that their voters back home really really want to give up their home mortgage deduction and charitable deductions even though no one –no one– has ever campaigned on that plan as the centerpiece of their bids for Congress. Camp wants to impose it on voters as “good for them” when all voters want is for government to be cut and to kill off Obamacare.
The vast majority would support regularization of all but the criminal element among illegal aliens but the vast majority –the vast majority– want a long strong, double-sided fence as an obvious irreversible commitment to stopping the problem of unchecked immigration from happening again. Again and again conservatives applaud the “long, strong, high fence” rhetoric and again and again they are told they are wrong, that such a fence isn’t needed, it won’t work, and to shut up and sit down.
How to explain this? How can them House GOP get the military pensions decision so wrong, the tax issue so wrong, the border fence so wrong? Why, in a phrase, are they deaf to what 90% of their core constituents and activists want?

There will be many vendors there wanting to sell their silken panties to the congressmen and senators. Cotton or polyester chafes so, you know, and only the little people wear them.
No Spew Spewitt....Americans and Conservatives want 100% Deportation of all Illegal Aliens...your comment is ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY. There is no Border Security unless all Illegal Aliens are Deported
Tired of Amnesty Liberal spin from Spewitt and the rest of the PhonyCon Salem Radio Network

I’m with you. I’m not buying letting the millions of illegals stay in return for building a fence (as though they would actually follow through on the promise). Deport them, THEN build a fence. And I will not be taken in by incessant tear jerker stories for the Nightmare Act.
I have to obey the laws. It’s time that the illegal entry, illegally present, DUI-get-out-of-jail-free aliens depart our country and return to their own.
They’ll be discussing how it’s “not the right time” for________
Well said. Deport illegals.
temporary spines and balls will be passed out at the door
Someone tell these self-entitled fools that they are on a trajectory to lose at every level.
lol...we think alike.
