What you said kind of reminds me of the fraidy rats in Massachusetts before Romney granted gay marriage in that state. The courts, who by Mass constitution could not create law to grant gay marriage, ordered the legislature to do something. The dems who control the legislature were too afraid to do anything. Uninvited and not requested by anyone, Romney stepped in and ordered the clerks to issue licenses to gays or lose their jobs.
The democrats know they will be destroyed if they issue amnesty unilaterally. They have to have a republican take the lead in amnesty like Romney did with gay marriage. Boehner does not have the fortitude to help them in an election year especially with all the troubles the GOPe has had with the TEA party. But, maybe that is why Romney keeps sounding like he would like to run in 2016.
The dems won’t do it alone. The republicans in leadership don’t have the guts. So Romney to the rescue of the dems and the illegals. Jeb Bush may also figure he can be a slightly more conservative illegal/dem savior. I’m sure of one thing, no one who gets the republican nomination will be able to say send them all back. And if the person who becomes the nominee does happen to say that, chances are they will have a change of heart between election 2016 and inauguration 2017.
Thanks for the info. I think if the GOP would only stand fast, amnesty will go nowhere. IMHO. The ‘RATS are afraid to do it and are trying to shame the GOP into passing it. I wish they’d realize that.
