Every time the House bipartisan immigration group set a deadline this year, its members have blown it.First, it aimed for the State of the Union. In April, the group said, “Soon.” Members struck a tentative deal twice in May and said a bill was coming in early June. Then a key lawmaker bolted, but the group insisted it was still on track.
It’s now almost mid-July, and there is still nothing the group can show for four years of secretive talks. But given the uncertainty in the House on how to go forward on immigration, it’s not too late for the group to help dictate the path of reform — if it acts fast.
has it occurred to everyone especially our Hispanic voters that this is something they do not want. the things you've heard being levied against the Pres., no budget, leading from behind and my favorite, kicking the can down the road. who are really the culprits here?
more "i know you are but what am i" from the republican do nothing crew, pick that can up it will say made in republicanland, and the toe prints will fit the right wing congress.
House Republicans have declared the Senate-passed legislation dead on arrival, and two House committees have cleared five separate bills — which Democrats hate — to reform pieces of the current system. Republicans have an all-hands-on-deck meeting on Wednesday to discuss various options.Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said in a memo Friday that his chamber “may” start considering border security bills while reviewing other immigration plans. Leadership’s strategy could mean either moving each bill separately through the floor or bundling the committee-approved measures into a larger package for a full floor vote.Republicans could also decide to take up take the House bipartisan bill, when it’s released, and pick it apart. Putting the Senate-passed bill through House committees and letting members rewrite it is another option, although that now seems more unlikely.Or they could do nothing.
they claim they are focused on this and that working toward passing this and that but this makes it clear they are liars who intend to do nothing, i take that back they will stall and block and though they say they are not giving the Pres. anything is that not by default giving "we the people" anything? recognize
