Cornyn Calls on Obama to Present Immigration Reform Plan



Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Tuesday called on President Barack Obama to come up with a comprehensive immigration plan this year, saying a directive from the White House is the only way to push the complex issue forward.

“What we need is not another photo op at the White House. What we need now is a plan from the president,â€

Senator Sessions needs to have a one to one talk with that idiot Cornyn. It is sickening that republicans just dont get it. AMERICANS DONT WANT AMNESTY.

I don't know if Sen. Cornyn wants to play chicken with Pres. Obama, darring him to present a plan that would be very unpopular during this recession. Or if Sen. Cornyn realy supports CIR like the OBL and wants Obama to make push for it.

We have to get to the bottom of this. CIR was pronounced dead by Robert Gibbs today, and Sen. Cornyn is daring Obama to revive it and enact it this year. If CIR passes this year, Sen. Cornyn would be the one who stabbed conservatives in the back.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said once again Tuesday that he has the votes to pass comprehensive immigration reform.


The only problem is finding floor time — and the political will in the Senate — to dig in on such a heated issue again.


“What is impeding comprehensive immigration reform is any floor time to do it,â€

QUESTION: Senator McConnell, (inaudible) meeting at the White House, (inaudible) -- meeting a the White House later this week is going to deal with immigration reform. Can you say what the prospects for such a major overhaul, a comprehensive immigration reform would be this year?

MCCONNELL: Yes, I’ll see if anybody else behind me wants to address that issue. We’ve got a pretty full plate already. There’s been very little discussion in our conference about the way forward on immigration reform. So really, I haven’t given much thought to that issue lately.

We’ve dealt with it each of the last two Congresses. We know it’s not going away. Significant progress is being made on border security, which I think is a linchpin to any discussion of the various other issues that go beyond border security.

I don’t know if anybody wants to add anything. John, you want to...

CORNYN: As the ranking member on the Immigration Subcommittee on Judiciary, Senator Schumer, who’s the chairman of that subcommittee, has been hosting a number of hearings at which we’ve been discussing the prospects for immigration reform this year.

I think what we need is a plan from the president of the United States. So far, we seem to get a sliding schedule where, first, he says he’s going to do it in the first year, and now, of course, his spokesman says it’s unlikely they’ll be able to get it done this year.

But we know what the options are. There are various plans out there. Senator Kyl and I introduced one in 2005, a comprehensive bill. Senator McCain, Kennedy, others have offered legislation. But what we need now is not another photo op at the White House. What we need is a plan from the president of the United States, if he believes it’s possible for us to get this problem solved, and we’ll work with him.

Cornyn is not up for re-election in 2010 so he might be feeling safe. He's all about the Magic Z Visas that will legalize entire companies full of illegal aliens. His big donors want to legalize their entire slave class of emploiyees and get protection from hiring illegal aleins. You know what will happen, they will get the visa and go to another job, then the company will hire more cheep labor and they will get visas and run off... it will be a never ending cycle of back door legalization.

Then Cornyn has the voters, that say hell no to a path to citizenship and demand that the border be secured.

How many years has he been saying that?

Your right Dixie.

Sen. Cornyn was quoted on a hispanic news report that he wanted Obama to bring up the issue of Immigration Reform, but he did mention that he did not support amnesty. Of course, what amnesty means to him could be something different than what we believe it is.

Either Sen. John Cornyn is a full blown Globalist traitor to the American public or he is baiting Obama to make a move and then will turn on him and leave him standing on the Amnesty push alone with the Dems.
