The Senate’s Gang of Eight delivered an immigration overhaul bill this week that was far more generous to their constituencies than Democrats and Hispanic activists expected.
The pre-bill marketing campaign — driven by leaks that seemed to come from Republican negotiators — focused on stringent new border-control measures and a long, difficult path to citizenship. The goal was to minimize conservative opposition by creating a first impression of the bill as a tough solution to the country’s illegal immigration problem.But when Democrats got a look at the 844-page measure, they discovered that their negotiators extracted more concessions than they thought possible. Those include an expansive version of the DREAM Act and subtle but meaningful tradeoffs on all the major pieces of the system, from family reunification to legalization and border security.
and here comes the boom, can't convince me that those republican gang of 8 didn't know that there would be a kick back by the right wing congress, hell IMO it's part of the plan, they makeit look likethey are goingover board to helpn Hispanics only for T-P to slap it down because they don't like the liberal connection? c'mon people they said they don't have to change their values so why should we believe a sure to be shot down piece of legistature that they fake it to us?
Democrats are reluctant to sound too positive, fearing that would scare away Republicans. Their official response to the bill has been muted, with one press release after another calling it a starting point that must be improved.
it's embarring te games that congress forces on itself, if it is at all beneficial to the country and Americans there should be no games, if it's for the good the games can only be for the worst and not going todo a thing but further the right wing cause that will only fill the coffers of NRA AND MANUFACTURING.
