The news reporting on immigration seldom lists the recommended changes to policy. The Obama administration is "not bluffing" in its intent to take executive action on immigration policy if House Republicans don't act soon Take note that the sentence never lists the "actions" that are supposed to be taken by the House, and doesn't say what, exactly, Obama will do as a result of the House inaction. Noting that a year has passed since the Senate passed a sweeping immigration reform bill with broad bipartisan support The news reporting doesn't tell us what was in the bill that the Senate passed. Some immigration reformers have been hopeful that the recent shake-up in Republican leadership, which will have Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) soon replacing Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) in the majority leader spot, could lead to action on immigration reform this year. Again, "reform" means what? House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Thursday that he spoke with McCarthy on Wednesday, urging the incoming majority leader to bring an immigration bill to the floor. Bring a bill to the floor that says.....what? ---- The proponents of allowing illegal immigrants to remain in the country somehow NEVER explain their plan clearly, I think because they'd quickly get kicked out of office in the next election. They call it "reform" which sounds good, but doesn't mean anything. They might as well say they want to "improve" US immigration policy. That also sounds good. But, if they say they want illegal immigrants to stay in the US and take low end jobs legally, sorry, that's BAD and doesn't resonate with much of anybody other than the illegal immigrants' relatives who have made it in legally. Reform this!
