Immigration hard-liners to lead Judiciary?
Immigration reform would not only be dead in a Republican House; the policy debate would take a decidedly rightward turn in the House Judiciary Committee, which could become a hotbed of conservative activism on one of the most volatile issues in U.S. politics.
Chairman-in-waiting Lamar Smith (R-Texas) has been an advocate of national Arizona-type immigration laws, implementing a mandatory verification program and revisiting the birthright citizenship guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. Smith’s wingman on the Judiciary Committee would be Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), one of the fiercest critics of illegal immigration, who would chair the immigration subcommittee.
Smith has been on the leading edge of conservative immigration policy since the mid-1990s, but he would have a much larger megaphone as chairman of Judiciary, even if his ideas never get a vote on the floor, because GOP leaders might hesitate to open the chamber to a full-blown immigration debate.
Reform advocates, frustrated by the inability of a Democratic Congress to push serious immigration reform, worry that the debate in the House may swing the opposite way.
Smith is “less interested in getting in the spotlight and more interested in driving immigrants out of the country,â€"A Nation of sheep will beget a government of Wolves" -Edward R. Murrow

[quote]King, on the other hand, is well-known for headline-grabbing claims. At a tea party event in Colorado in June, he said he would support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants only if “every time we give amnesty for an illegal alien, we deport a liberal.â€

Our time may be coming
We need to do comprehensive immigration ENFORCEMENT
Enough with the amnesty talk , enough with sucking up to illegals , they need to be kicked to the curb and finally understand they are lawbreakers , and we will not tolerate them in this country.

Don't forget about our judges, up for re-election. Liberal judges that would grant even more "rights" to illegal residents or not fully enforce penalties against them, must also be voted "out of office" !

If Republicans can pick up 10 Senate seats same thing would happen there. From the latest polls they can do that if they can win California or Washington.
