This type of legislation used to be quite commonplace and was generally passed on a voice vote. This was before the days of determining which "groups" got favorable treatment by the political dynamics.
Back when I was in high school, there was a young man from Taiwan in a neighboring town who got one of these bills passed. He was a nice kid who had been orphaned while his parents were here and been adopted by friends. But it hadn't been a "legal" adoption (meaning the lawyers hadn't extracted enough money), so the government was seeking to deport him. No amount of pleading from his adoptive parents or even their offers to make payments on the fees needed to get it legalized would change the bureaucrat's minds.
It came to our attention through the student council who had contacted other student councils in the area. We all decided it would be a good civics project to write our senators and congressman for special legislation (which we learned about in civics class) to grant citizenship to the kid as well as waive the adoption fees.
Wanting to look like heros to several hundred high school students soon turning voting age, it got introduced by our state's delegation and passed in record time.
The same thing should be done now. Put BO and Harry Reid in the position of opposing amnesty for genuine political refugees at the same time they are pimping it for La Raza.
“The proper step for congress at this point would be to pass a relief bill specific for this family.”
At least, that’s what our hairless Pubes should do in the House. Then dump it on the Senate and let’s see public reaction.
