"House Republicans are preparing to unveil their own broad template for overhauling the nation’s immigration system this week, potentially offering a small opening for President Obama and congressional Democrats to pass bipartisan legislation before the end of the year."
Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio and other Republican leaders are expected to release a one-page statement of immigration principles this week at their annual retreat in Cambridge, Md., according to aides with knowledge of the plan. The document is expected to call for border security and enforcement measures, as well as providing a path to legal status — but not citizenship — for many of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, the aides said.
“The principles they lay out I’m sure won’t satisfy everybody,” Michael R. Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City, said at an immigration forum on Friday. But, he added, “if we can make some compromises here for the good of the country, I think we have a very good chance for the first time in a long time of changing something that is really damaging all of us.”For more of this article click NYT link

And so it begins.
Using the word "overhaul" implies that it worked properly in the first place.
Kansas-Nebraska.

It's called sellout.
PS If anyone thinks the Whigs haven't sold out completely, the picture says it all.
What kind of broads are they offering?
I mean... boys want to know...
Are Republicans offering 50 buck broads or expensive call girls?
Dark meat or white meat?
Where do the Dems stand on the issue of broads?
Good. Maybe they will open the border a bit, let some of the people trapped in the US the opportunity to go home.
Maybe they will reduce the size of the "4th Amendment Free Zone" to something less than a hundred miles from the Mexican border.
Maybe they will lay off some of the thousands and thousands of Border Patrol agents who have turned hundreds of square miles of Arizona desert into a war zone. Maybe they will tear down some of the border walls.
Maybe they will induce some of the millions that live here illegally to surface as guest workers with free or unhindered passage. The same passage I am theoretically granted when I travel across the border.
Maybe some of the proposed changes will actually meet the approval of some of Lem's loyal contributors. Nah, that's pretty unlikely.
edutcher - to look at that picture of edge of the grave McCain and Soros sealing their satanic pact confirms my hunch that the last infirmity is the lust to control the future, ala the answer to Jake's question for Mulholland, in Chinatown, about what he's after, what more can he buy: "The future, Mr. Gittes, the future!"
Dumb question I know but wtf are we paying to send any senator to Davos?
So the elite war on the average working American continues.
Wages are too high, the unemployment rate and rents are too low - must have more immigrants. Must have more Democrat voters. Must have more people on welfare. Must have more diversity (divide and conquer).
The Republicans ask the Chamber of Commerce, how high?
Since 1996, the Republicans have nominated 4 POTUS candidates that favor open borders, including the Queen of Amnesty (lets do it for Ted) Johnny McCain.
This was inevitable.
Invade the World, invite the World.
The Republican Party Mantra.
Well this might lead to the final break of the grass roots from the establishment Liberal Rhino's.
We can not compromise with this issue. It will be the final straw that destroys us.
I'll be amazed if this actually represents immigration reform, as opposed to amnesty.
Immigrants from Asia, Africa and Europe really get gypped under the current system.
Poor us
I have a niece who graduated from nursing school in September with 110 classmates. She passed her state exam so she has her R.N license and she has not yet found a job. Same story for 95% of her classmates. WTF is going on here? Will these immigration "reform" bills leave even more Americans out of work?
