Flake is a Flake. I have great respect for Lee so I want to check out his reasoning be for I start yelling.
And they wonder why the base is upset!
Clueless, utterly clueless
If Mike Lee is against this bill you can bet your pants there’s some crap in this bill not mentioned in the article.
Nevada and California rely heavily on illegals to populate the hospitality industry. These owners are perfectly willing to destroy the country in order to keep the cheap labor flowing. It never dawns on them that if they keep it up nobody will be able to afford to stay at their hotels and casinos and they will become the ghost towns of this century. They don’t care.
The sanctuary city bill should a stand along and then the Kate’s law a stand alone. They should not be lumped together. The Dems are going to filibuster this deal and it will never pass as is.
Harry Reid would have had this all worked out before announcing bringing up the bill, instead of making his caucus look disorganized and at odds with each other.

I knew Flake and Heller were on board The Cheap Labor Express. I’m stunned that Mike Lee is not on the side of the citizens. There has to be a reason, I thought he was one of the few that were.
There are only a few. Sessions, Vitter, Cruz,
“Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nevada) wants to link Vitter’s bill to immigration reform.”
Yeah so we can hide plenty of garbage in it that nobody will read.
Time to light up the phones.
Heller is good on certain issues (card check, 2A, etc.), then he pulls stuff like this on the one killing Nevada the most — immigration.
And this is part of the reason so much lousy garbage gets passed. It seems as if nothing is ever voted up or down on its own... it's always linked to or part of some other massive bill.
We can probably get a massive amount of immigration "reform" merely by acting like a country that was sincere about guarding its borders and enforcing the laws in existence.
Dean Heller—”comprehensive immigration reform.”
It’s amazing how much cleaning we need to do in the Senate. Similar to Hercules and the Augean stables. I.e., an overwhelming amount of manure.
