Quote:There was a compromise proposed last summer that got shot down by the establishment people in both parties.  A couple of "show stoppers" on the left is immediately securing our borders and forcing those here illegally to take a proper path to citizenship or obtaining a proper work visa.  The "show stoppers" on the far right basically includes the fact that people aren't immediately deported and allowing them a proper path to citizenship.

 

Once again, look at the "establishment" types that are in congress on both sides of the aisle.

 

The Senate passed an immigration reform bill that doubled the number of Border Patrol agencies as well as would have created 700 miles of fencing.    It also would have required employers to use the E-verify system.  I don't think Boehner even ever brought it to vote in the house.  It had some bipartisan support in the senate.  


Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (was hard to find the name)
