Just like clicking on rnc.org

while working for two investigative reporters/authors during the "Get Clinton" period in the 90's. One of those reporters told me, "the Times is reliable for news about the Pentagon only, nothing else."

actually reform immigration. All the publicity, none of the reality? We want to reform immigration, it's the lower chamber. Sorry latinos vote for us anyway.

How many corpses are in your Az. potters field of poor desert walkers who have to by-bass your trillion dollar fence? 8,000-10,000?

how many are in the graveyard of people who drowned in the Az. water canal that refused to place safety ladders out of the water? 10,000 more?

McCain that's your state, do you and Boehner have investments in the private for profit immigration prisons or something?

who wants this bill loaded with the H-1B Visa GARBAGE in it removed, thought that was largely the doing of Orrin Hatch and corporatist Democrats in the Senate.

I won't fall for it, but in a way, I'm actually hoping that they succeed in voting it down, so that perhaps in the Senate they can go back to making it a CLEAN bill so that we can have a clear referendum about what those in congress are voting for or against so that we can use that as good ammunition of information to guide us in the next election.

Have to give credit to Chuck Grassley in the Senate who did take the right stance to try and protect American tech workers on this crappy baggage that's in it. Not sure if he'd vote for a clean bill, which I WANT to see passed, but he did try to stop the crap that was in it, which I give him credit for.

the only legislation that ever gets passed is that which helps the rich. Everything else is a dog and pony show.

getting more and more brown and black residents moving in. Then they'll see things the way the Senate repubs do. Maybe it's about time to start "bleeding" repub districts. Anyone able to move into some of these districts?

I don't think it's going to happen in 2014 though, more like 2016.

to purposely choose to move into a red district to move into. I know that idea sucks for the person that would have to put up with a regressive neighborhood, but the only way to make it better is to change the House.

The H1-B visa increases need to be stripped out. All they do is drive down wages and conditions for American workers.

My guess is that's the only part the Republicans like.

But anti-immigration conservatives haven’t given up the fight. This morning, a coalition of 150 conservatives — which includes Rich Lowry of the National Review, Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum, Redstate.com editor Eric Erickson, and former Florida Representative Alan West — issued a letter declaring their absolute opposition to the comprehensive immigration bill, and urging Senate Republicans to scrap the entire project.

“No matter how well-intentioned, the Schumer-Rubio bill suffers from fundamental design flaws that make it unsalvageable,” the letter says. “Many of us support various parts of the legislation, but the overall package is so unsatisfactory that the Senate would do better to start over from scratch.”

It’s hard to find a factual basis for each of these objections. The border with Mexico is currently more secure than its ever been, and the additional returns to adding even more security — on top of what is already present in the bill — are likely to be low. Likewise, there’s no way to avoid additional control for the administration — immigration is handled by federal agencies, which are managed by the White House. And more than a few observers have addressed the claim that immigration would bankrupt retirement programs; the assertion relies on the untenable assumption that every immigrant would receive legal status, become a citizen, and fail to contribute taxes or productivity.

Of course, the factual claims of the letter are irrelevant. What matters is that a key part of the Republican Party has announced its categorical opposition to comprehensive immigration reform, which diminishes its chance for passage. Unless supporters can get overwhelming support in the Senate — enough to break a filibuster, and then some — then it’s unlikely they’ll force John Boehner to act. And if he does, he’ll still have to deal with the consequences of an unhappy conservative opposition.

"It’s hard to find a factual basis for each of these objections."

"Of course, the factual claims of the letter are irrelevant."

This explains why anti-immigration tea party conservatives oppose comprehensive reform. As with all of the far-right's policies, 'facts don't matter' - just fear, emotion and partisan spin.]
