Thread: Democrats will unveil immigration reform this afternoon!!!

April 29, 2010 2:22 PM

House Republican Leader John Boehner said Arizona's tough new immigration law is the result of federal government inaction on the issue, but said there's "not a chance" Congress will pass immigration legislation this year.

"We ought to have an immigration reform move through congress" Boehner said at this weekly press conference, "but you can't do immigration reform in the middle of a boiling, political pot here in Washington, D.C."

Boehner said that Senator Charles Schumer's (D-NY) effort to get GOP backing on an immigration bill is "nothing more than a cynical ploy to try to engage voters-some segment of voters- to show up in this November's elections."

Meanwhile, reporters pressed Boehner on whether he supports the Arizona policy that would allow law enforcement to question someone if they have reason to believe that person might be an illegal immigrant. Boehner just defended the state's right to pass its own laws saying the "people of Arizona have a right to pass their laws under the tenth amendment."

So what do House Republicans propose should be done at the federal level? Boehner said Congress must "take the steps that we know we have to take first and that's securing the border and enforcing the law."

Boehner did not directly respond to a question about what Republicans would do about illegal immigrants already living in the United States. He said that what Americans really want Congress to act on is jobs.

"These other issues that people want to pop up and make into some issue it's not where the American people are," he said.

For all Boehner's insistence that immigration reform won't pass this year, Senate Democrats are moving forward. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who's facing a tough reelection in Nevada this year, just announced a press conference later this afternoon where Democrats will unveil their framework for comprehensive immigration reform and call on Republicans to come to the negotiating table.

This is UNREAL, Reid and cohorts are BEYOND desperate!!!!!

This is the all Dems Senate show to make it look oh so important that they are working (on another unacceptable bill). And to try to save loser Harry Reid's butt. And to quell the open-borders masses from taking over the streets, no thanks to the mainstream media. (Timing is everything, you know.)

BUT NOTHING WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE TABLE THIS YEAR.
EVEN OBAMA SAID THIS IN SO MANY WORDS.
It's a con and a ploy. The Latino racists marchers should just put their churros and burritos in the freezer and save them until next year.

Here's the framework. Same old amnesty. And we know that any of the alleged promises of enforcement would be dropped. Please start calling now :

"...the Reid-Schumer-Menendez proposal closely mimics the 2007 Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill (S.1639). Specifically, the proposal:

•Grants amnesty to illegal aliens in the U.S. (while calling it a “broad-based registration programâ€

This is simply total destruction of the Constitution...and of our country. Socalistic take over at its best...

Have faith. If they try to sneak this through in the dead of night, they will all be recalled from office. No American citizen would put up with it.

Better ask the Republican leaders to get on their members....

Please call these GOP senators the Democrats are targeting to give "bipartisanship" cover for their amnesty plan: Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Scott Brown, Judd Gregg, George Voinovich, Richard Lugar.
