House Republicans to Offer Broad Immigration Plan

House Republicans are preparing to unveil their own broad template for overhauling the nation’s immigration system this week, potentially offering a small opening for President Obama and congressional Democrats to pass bipartisan legislation before the end of the year.

Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio and other Republican leaders are expected to release a one-page statement of immigration principles this week at their annual retreat in Cambridge, Md., according to aides with knowledge of the plan. The document is expected to call for border security and enforcement measures, as well as providing a path to legal status — but not citizenship — for many of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, the aides said.

The Republican effort comes as Mr. Obama is expected to push once again for an overhaul of the immigration system in his State of the Union address Tuesday, and as lawmakers from both parties describe immigration as one of the few potential areas for bipartisan compromise before the end of the current Congress.

Well I am SOLD! Let me open my checkbook to the RNC and write a fat donation! See, evil right-wing nativists, they're going to secure the border finally and illegals won't get citizenship!

Effing traitors

You voted for it America.

Now bend over. :)

[Bryan24]

Complete and total idiots. The Democrats in the Senate will insert an accelerated path to citizenship for the 30 million illegals in the country. And the Republicans will be framed as anti-immigrant.

Pass it and the GOP is dead on the spot.

I DARE Boner and Cantor and Ryan to release their Amnesty “principles” in ADVANCE of their AMNESTY SUMMIT next weekend.

Anyone who supports amnesty should be removed from office. This is amnesty.

Unless you want your neighborhood to become California you better fight this and win it.

[Yogafist]

The Democrats gave us Obamacare, and the Republicans are going to give us amnesty. Which do you think will have the most detrimental and long lasting effect on America? So who are the enemies of the American way of life?

[Jim Robinson]

The GOP has been trying mighty hard lately to commit suicide. This may finally accomplish it.

They are not committing suicide. They are following in the footsteps of Judas Iscariot.
