The Senate passed a bipartisan bill with 68 votes...seriously, in this divided government, 68 votes in the Senate on an immigration bill that the Boehner has refused to allow the full House to vote on...because it will pass. This bill was passed by the Senate over 500 days ago.
The plan has been to never let the President to ever appear to have any victory and then complain loudly that he is not getting anything done.
Works for the faithful and stupid.
Based on a similar concept to what you say, Harry Reid had failed to let jobs bills passed by the House come up for a vote in the Senate then the President complains the Republicans aren't doing anything in the House.
Okay.
So what is the GOP actually going to do about it?
And more to the point, what is the GOP going to do about our immigration situation, if anything?
.
A better question is what CAN the GOP do about it than will actually be implemented?
Solving our illegal immigration problem is easy. Build a fence, close the borders, and shoot any SOB, after one warning, that tries to sneak in. I put locks on my doors at my house which tells those uninvited not to come in. If they still choose to do so, that's what I would do to them.
What about those who are already here, and their children?
.
First, granting citizenship to children born here solely because their parent(s) committed a crime in order for it to happen is alsolutely wrong. That is not what the 14th Amendment was designed to do. Anyone that has studied history knows that. I say no to anchor babies and rewarding them with something like citizenship when the ONLY way they have it is because of a crime. We wouldn't allow the kids of a bank robber to keep the money.
As for those already here, it's easy. They weren't supposed to be here so ship them home wherever that may be. Why should we overlook the law for criminals. People are put in prison every day causing families to be separated. If we are going to overlook that a child would be separated from the parents if they were sent back as wrong, we need to overlook the crimes done by people in jail that produce the same result. Agree?
