Discussion: Reid: We Can Use House Border Bill As A Vehicle For Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Discussion for article #225687

Ever since Reid/Schumer agreed to the House GOP leaderships’ proposal to do IR piecemeal,I’ve been saying that the House inaction is due to knowing that any House bill could be amended into a CIR bill in the Senate.

So the GOP are in favor of throwing money at the border and not addressing comprehensive immigration reform once and for all, and in the same breath accusing the Democrats of throwing money at the border and not addressing comprehensive immigration reform once and for all.

Got it.

What? Please support your generalizations with some facts. And who are you defining as the real “Americans?”

I love the way Reid continues to troll the GOP so successfully.

And it makes conservatives angry, which is an outcome to be highly desired.
When they’re angry, they do stupider things than usual.

I have no idea what you are talking about/asking.

[Cornball] expressed frustration with Reid’s remarks, suggesting the Democratic
leader was trying to poison the House GOP’s border bill.

“poison” - force the GOP to act versus simply pretending to act.

lol Love the way Reid just lays in wait for simple opportunity. Like a cat in the corner knowing the rat is coming sooner or later. lol Man of few words but he sure can stir the pot with the best of them. Rock on Harry, it’s fun watching.

We’re supposed to cheer the dirt wage, worship white employers who escape justice, then scapegoat workers who wouldn’t be here if our crook employers were fined and or imprisoned.

Not sure what exactly is " stupider things than usual" for them but then as Einstein once said "the difference between genius and stupid is that genius has its limits. This is proven true on a minute by minute basis.

Reid said: “I’m not threatening anything. We’ve been looking for something to do conference on. Maybe we could do it with that.”

I think Reid is doing his best “coy voice of reason” act…He knows perfectly well that he’ll never get anything added to the House bill. When this issue comes up in November, the Dems can safely say they were willing to compromise, but that the GOP were only interested in fiddling around with trafficking laws as if kids were just so much chattel.

sorry–
I thought you subscribed to RawStory…
