The Senate passed an immigration reform over a year ago, and it had votes from both sides. This resolution would bring major upgrades to border security and deportations measures, but the House refuses to vote on it, and they said they will not vote this year either. The GOP is gambling that having an immigration problem buys them more votes than resolving the problem.
The house has no interest in doing anything in an election year, probably won't do a thing until after 2016 their only answer is to "secure the borders" but they won't even pass a bill for funding.
We are not the only country experiencing this influx of immigrants, Italy, Jordan and Turkey are far worse from the civil wars in the mid east.
The problem goes all the way back to Regan's reward for illegals. Present non-enforcement efforts and states rewarding illegals have made things worse.
So what? The border could have been fixed before it became such a big issue, and all those times Republicans were in charge. The Democrats aren't complaining about there being a border crisis, it's Republicans. So, why didn't Republicans do anything before the situation got out of hand?
If it is all Obama's fualt, just like everything is these days, why didn't Bush Jr. do anything about the border? Why didn't Bush Sr.? Hell, why didn't Reagan? While RWNJs ***** and moan about the border being wide open, I seem to recall MANY chances the GOP had to stem the flow, but none were taken. Why? What makes anybody here think the GOP isn't going to continue to sit on their asses and let the border stay open? Oh, but it'll be different this time! Yeah right, and unicorns are real .
Oh, and, don't tell me what YOU want to do, tell me what the GOP wants to do. I don't care what any of you want, because they are, definitely and surely, going to be a hell of a lot more than what the GOP is brave enough to do.
Obama's been POTUS for 5 years now; it's on HIM to help stop illegal immigration in 2014. Please leave Bush 43 and Clinton out of it
The country was founded by "illegals", people moving in from far away. Over generations fear was grown so now your Gov has yet one more reason to grow in size, power and fascism.
ALL countries were started by illegal aliens back in the day but why hate on the US so much?? Too; what you said ain't Ok in 2014 tho it was def PC 150 years ago.

It was a bad bill that rewards the illegals, delays mandatory E-verify for 5 years and doesn't require E-Verify on current employees. The bill is a massive porkster that does little to address the actual problems with our system.

Really? What were the immigration laws back in that day? In order for something to be illegal doesn't there have to be a law in place? Were immigration laws recognized by the world body in 1492? Was there a government in place with immigration laws when the Europeans came over?

Ask Eric Cantor why the house won't vote on Immigration Reform.

Cantor's useless and he'll be gone soon since Brat kicked his butt in the election.
