    Democrats on House Rules Committee block 18 Immigration Amd

    June 25, 2009

    House Democrats Block 18 Reform Amendments

    Democrats on the House Rules Committee blocked 18 Republican immigration amendments, House Republicans charged.

    Ranking Member Lamar Smith called the move 'undemocratic' in the release and said the maneuver was meant to bury the popular amendments without forcing a vote.

    Among those amendments held up was one based on FAIR's work to get E-Verify mandated for all federal contractors.

    The Republicans must push back.

    Republicans must have peacefully Protest. The Rep's must bring their camping gears, food and water and camp out in chambers until their voices are heard. The Media will cover it if they refuse to leave.

    How much you wanna bet that the same eight GOP idiots who voted for the cap and trade bill are complianing about this. Their problem is that their right hand doesn't know what their left hand is doing.
