Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) said Wednesday there would be “no problem” in getting the House to pass legislation that would provide a pathway to legal status for immigrants in the U.S. illegally, adding that a pathway to citizenship is "potentially doable."
“I think there's no problem getting through the House a pathway to legal status. A pathway to citizenship is going to be tougher, but I think it is potentially doable, if we can show the American people that the border is secure,” Farenthold said on MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown.” “My constituents feel betrayed by the promise that Reagan made, that if we grant amnesty, we'll then secure the border. We obviously didn't do that.”
Parents who brought their children to the United States illegally are a “very sympathetic problem” Farenthold added. “We've educated them in our schools, and they become a burden on society if they can't get a job.”
The Republican said the border is “relatively secure” but “not secure enough,” given the roughly 52,000 unaccompanied children from Central America who have crossed into the U.S. since October.
Asked if the current crisis hurts immigration reform prospects, Farenthold said, “I think, politically, it may,” but he stressed it could be addressed without a comprehensive bill.
“I don't think you'd have any problem getting legislation through the House to have expedited deportation procedures, getting more judges down to prosecute or hear these cases,” said Farenthold, who said it could take years before the children get a hearing otherwise.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told the GOP caucus last week that the House would not hold a vote on immigration reform this year. President Obama announced on Monday that he is taking executive action to fix the system as much as he can himself.
Farenthold suggested he supports the Obama administration’s request for $2 billion in funds to fix the situation at the border, but he said, “We've got to speed up the process.”
On Tuesday, protestors blocked three buses carrying immigrant families to a border patrol processing station in California. Farenthold called protests in response to the crisis “uninformed.”
“This is a humanitarian crisis,” he said. “The whole country needs to step up and help out.”
I suppose they will say that we have to pass amnesty to find out if the border is secure.
bump
immigration reform=amnesty=path to citizenship for illegals
Wonder what the NSA had on him?
Did not know the make up his district.
Knew some one like you would inform me.
By all means the busses should drop them in his district.
Sounds like they will fit in nicely there.
If we let things slide in HIS district, then things will slide in the district INLAND from his, too.
Be vigilant!
They ALREADY are citizens, Citizens of the Shithole that they crawled out of.
This toolboys district must be 90% Latino....
VOTE this D-bag out this Nov Texas!
Before illegals become citizens, we need to have them deported, pay us back for educating their kids, pay the wages they got for ILLEGALLY working and go to the back of the line. Then, have a quota on Latinos, at 75% of Asians and whites.
We need more people in Hi Technology than in agriculture. Most of the people coming from Central America are not people who's going to work for Yahoo. Not being racist, but it's true.
Fat dumb and stupid is no way to go through life son.

Is that Blake?
Geeze, good thing he doesn’t represent a coastal community or they might have harpooned him
Are talking about that Flounder looking jackass in that picture?
Yea that’s him.
Is he related to Sissy Farenthold?
That is not a common name.
wow. How did THAT get elected??
He is a step-grandson of Sissy Farenthold, according to Wikipedia. Sissy was married to Blake’s grandfather, George Farenthold, from 1950 to 1985.
