The decision by the Republican leadership not even to try to pass immigration reform before the election smacks of punting when they should have gone for a touchdown. America is begging for tough immigration reform and looking to the Republican Party to exercise its traditional role of leadership in law and order issues. But even without a real threat of a Democratic filibuster, the Republican Party has tripped over its own feet and given up its attempt to meet the needs of the country and of its constituents.
The Republican failure to pass immigration reform despite controlling both houses and the presidency reminds one of Hillary’s inability even to get healthcare reform reported out of committee despite enjoying a similar advantage in 1994.
Republican voters are not likely to forgive GOP ineptitude and failure. With a 30-vote margin in the House and 10 in the Senate, they will find the lack of action inexplicable.
Morris is one of those people who make you feel like you need a long hot shower after listening to him, even when you agree with what he says. In this case what he says is dead wrong.
His idea of immigration reform is amnesty and a guest worker program which would have the effect of opening the borders. He also supports a wall, but what good is a wall when the wetbacks no longer have to sneak in?
The truth is that we doged a bullet. With the RINO traitors in the Senate there was no possibility of a bill passing and being signed into law that didn't include an amnesty provision. If the House Republicans had caved on this there is no way that they could have retained control after November.
Now they have a fighting chance, especially since they are going to vote up a borders only bill and make the Senate reject it. This will focus the publics mind squarely on where the problem is located.
