An effort by House lawmakers to overhaul immigration policy, which seemed all but dead for much of last year, is about to be revived and take center stage in Congress, with a new push by House Republican leaders and a fresh pitch by President Barack Obama in his State of the Union address Tuesday.
House GOP leaders are expected to release broad principles to guide the chamber's immigration debate as soon as the coming week. They will include a call to grant legal status to millions of people now in the country illegally, people familiar with the plans say, a step that many in the GOP oppose as a reward for people who broke U.S. law.
Behind the scenes, Republican lawmakers already are writing detailed legislation, with the encouragement of House GOP leaders, that would also offer the chance at citizenship for many here illegally

Build the fence? Enforce the law? Great!
Comprehensive Border Control.
WSJ is a huge supporter of Amnesty. I’m sure Laura was giddy writing this article.
2014 will be a pure bloodbath for the Republican side of the Uniparty.
And then it's just a matter of the final death rattles.
How did immigration reform work out for Reagan ?
Ah. Thank you. My post above, was based on the mistaken belief that the WSJ was a better news source. There is a great chance this is mere attempts at trend-creation. Propaganda.
This time it is much different. Legalization of the 30 to 50 million illegals, NOW, will tip all elections into the Democrat branch of the Uniparty, and all the wildest Pelosi schemes will be law within 2 years time.
OK for him, the pits for the 50% rest of us.
Reagan admitted it was one of his biggest mistakes
If they do this they will lose the House. Maybe Boehner thinks he is going to lose anyway so might as well take everyone else down with him.
Our Congressman, Pete Olson, is running unopposed so you cannot threaten him with voting against him. It doesn’t matter as he will win anyway. He and the majority of Texas Reps voted for the budget so they obviously doesn’t care about the people in Texas. We will be totally overrun if anything dealing with amnesty passes. I just simply do not understand it.
They must be suicidal. They would do well to remember that this is an election year and the voting public is hurting financially. We need jobs and full time employment, not more cheap labor undercutting the job market and sucking up what little remains of social services we paid for.

Well the GOP hate being in-charge
Dude, they are totally in bed with the Chamber of Commerce and other GOP big-time business donors pushing Amnesty. The attacks they did against Obamacare and other liberal policies were just crumbs to their subscribers. I’ve given them all the respect of MSNBC.
Create several million new Democratic voters.
Looks like the Stupid Party wants to dig its own political grave.
Might-as-well-cash-in mindset.
Phyllis Schlafly of the Eagle Forum said it best: “Democrats want the votes, and Republicans want the cheap labor”.
