CNN - Politics: Reports on the prospects of the Republican House passing the Senate Immigration Bill, the article notes the following, " ..top Republicans in the House are calling the Senate bill a nonstarter. House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday reiterated his position that the House would not vote on the Senate immigration bill. ".
Lets Get Real:
The House Republicans need the base to come out in 2014 folks, the base wants border security first, the Senate and some Senators want the Republican Party to have a chance of winning the Oval in 2017, thus the need to get immigration of the table. It could be argued that this could be a win win for Republicans, the House rejects the Senate Bill but then the Republican Nominee states that the 1st thing out of his or her Oval will be a new Immigration Bill that deals with the concern of the base, as the old saying goes, only Nixon could go to China. The Democratic controlled Senate is not trusted by the base, the Republicans retook the House because there was a demand within the Country to STOP the Obama Agenda. This Senate Bill is part of the Obama Agenda, it can be argued that Reagan would have supported this Bill, so lets see how the Republican leadership deal with this topical Bill.
