Despite the extraordinary group of coalitions behind immigration reform — Democrats, business, labor, Hispanics and many more — passage ultimately rests on the whims of an erratic, unpredictable group of House Republicans.
That’s not by design. Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) technically could bring up the Senate bill any day and it would, in all likelihood, pass with mostly Democratic votes. (Such a move would relieve GOP strategists, who desperately want the issue off the table.) But he has repeatedly vowed not to do that, and the piecemeal course he’s set forth is narrow and full of landmines that could blow up the ambitious overhaul effort.Here are the five most dangerous landmines.
he like many others are deathly, politically deathly afraid of the T-Party influence who i think they may be overrating, with all the dirty tricks jim crow tactics and money spent they lost twice it shows a chink in their armor.
they also seem not to be trying at all as usual to embrace anybody writing off their base as a given vote they just are on an anal bashing of this Pres. there is no other focus no matter what they lie about just look at what they are doing nothing but trying to undermine Pres. and that only blocks your advancement and jobs. they seem devoted to a dying entity that lied to you, you voted them in and all you got was more Obama bashing the only jobs came from this admin not them and you can can that keystone BS 20,000 jos in one hand and millions in the other don't make that mistake again
5. Republicans Are Eying A Whites-First Strategy In 2014As important as immigration reform is to the GOP's presidential prospects in 2016, the upcoming 2014 elections are an entirely different matter. Off-year elections tend to be low-turnout affairs dominated by older, white voters who who prefer Republicans.Compromising on immigration reform, some Republicans believe, may dampen turnout among white conservatives whom the party is relying on to expand its clout in Congress. And it'll make House Republicans — most of whom represent largely white, gerrymandered districts — vulnerable to attacks from conservative primary challengers.As desperately as many GOP operatives want to transition toward a more inclusive and diverse tent, particularly by attracting more Hispanic voters, Republicans have been fractured, leaderless and unable to make that shift. If they end up deciding — consciously or not — to double down on the whites-first strategy, immigration reform isn't likely to be on the agenda. That becomes truer as the 2014 elections approach.
they really are the party of stupidity, this is what has brought them to this mind searching episode in their existence as to what to do and they chose the same thing, that's beyond insane it's deranged, schizophrenic, paranoid dementia and they are damn good at it. is that the type of personalities you want running the country"
