How about 2014, the year the Tea Party took the “Senate and House.”

2014: The year the COC became a joke, and Karl Rove was humiliated for the 1865th time.

Well then, that’ll make 2015 the Year of CW-II.

The Muslim Chamber of Commerce, The Palestianian Chamber of Commerce, or the Islamic Chamber of Commerce?

Interesting that the Chamber of Commerce thinks it’s their place to set the agenda for the nation.

Yes. Let’s make 2014 the ‘Year of Immigration Reform’.

An innovative reform would be to enforce existing laws.

As if we were a nation of laws.

Rather than a despotic tyranny subject to the whims of some demagogue.

I don’t get why the Chamber is so hell-bent on amnesty. It seems like illegals are cheaper labor than new citizens. I guess a flood of people in the workforce provides the chance for labor cost to drop due to more supply....seems awfully short-sighted as it is going to skyrocket government spending, taxes to support the unemployed and new government assistance.

I do understand the needs for some immigration system changes...but not the leftist citizenship route. Our system is messed up. The current proposals will not make any improvements to most of what ails it now.

I think it will be a great issue to run on the year. I will oppose reform. Who supports amnesty - raise your hand.

OUR CURRENT SYSTEM IS NOT BROKEN.......IT IS SIMPLY NOT ENFORCED!!! Why would ANYONE trust this Admin to follow whatever new immigration Law is enacted? They will simply ignore whatever they don’t like and usher in many illegals, give them drivers licenses and voting cards. Kiss the USA goodbye........it will not survive this!

The CoC has taken some pretty myoptic positions in the past, but nothing that compares to this. Even that old fascist sympathizer Henry Ford understood that a strong middle class was necessary to grow an economy. It would be nice if they could be at least that smart.

They are funded by corporatists that are aligned with obama and the progressive republican leadership... all to win a new type of laborer... a non citizen that is exempt from obamacare and many other federal and state regulations... IOW... CRONY CAPITALISTS!
