Senate May Pass Amnesty, But the House Will Rip it to Pieces
There are 2 very good indications that this won't fly in the House even if the Senate weasels grab-ankle. One is the fact that the House approved an amendment to a Homeland Security bill that cut off funding to sanctuary cities. 49 democrats joined 185 republicans on that one. Yesterday the House republicans made a political statement that was music to my ears.
By a vote of 114-23, the House Republican Conference approved a statement by Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan that simply read: "Resolved: The House GOP Conference disapproves of the Senate immigration bill." The vote came during a closed-door meeting.
The lack of Republican support could doom the immigration bill because House Democratic leaders have previously said they would not bring it to the House floor unless at least 70 of the 201 GOP members were on board.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said, "It's clear that there is a large number of House Republicans who have serious concerns with the Senate bill."
I won't get into Kennedy's lying and the bogus poll that's in the article.
