Do you think that Congress will pass a Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill next year?

This is at least a start, but until the borders are secure there is little that will change. Just what they mean or want in comprehensive immigration reform is questionable. Judging from the stance taken so far it is likely to include amnesty. We already did this in the 80's and it did nothing to improve the problem. The Democrats authorized expenditures and made promises to obtain Reagan's signature on the first amnesty bill. Once the signature was obtained, nothing more was done. It is just as easy to relax the enforcement as it is to increase it. Once they get what they want, who is to say that the rules will no longer be enforced as now? They have consistently fought and avoided enforcement of the immigration laws and it is doubtful that they will have a change of heart. The Republicans should be very careful as to what they agree to with them, they have a history of backing out on agreements they have made. If the election appears too much in the Republicans favor, the Democrats are likely to try pushing something through before the end of this year.

I think we'll see the push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform after the elections this fall. Many ( Democrats) will be on their way out and with nothing to lose you'll see a push for it.

Short name will be Amnesty

I don't know how it could be anything else. You can't do any real "reform" as long as our borders remain wide open. The best way is with a fence.. not agents.

But Obama canceled that program, so not sure what increased agents will do when the border is nearly 1800 miles long.

No way. First the border must be controlled and proven effective. This was promised when RWR presided over the first amnesty. Predictably, the feds followed by shoving their thumbs up their 2-holes for the next 20 years.

No reform until the border is real and the welfare benefits eliminated.

My question is whether they'll do anything about the current misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment. Proposed as just one of a flurry of "Reconstruction" efforts, it was strictly intended to protect freed slaves from former CSA attempts to deny them Citizenry and, hence, a full vote.

Yet, even after blocking all votes by senators of the former CSA, they STILL could NOT get enough votes to ratify it until adding the phrase, "...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." and reassuring the remaining Senate (repeatedly... until they were blue in the face) that it would exclude aliens from birthright citizenship.

Mind you, that was a hundred years BEFORE social security.

Now, one of the most lucrative smuggling niches is escorting near-labor pregnant women into U.S. maternity wards at the last minute (literally) so they can say the kid was born to 'parents who are completely subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S.' and, of course, immediately get more money every month than our elderly who've worked all their life and paid taxes.

...

Obama has completed not something yet "communicate" afaic,as quickly as I initiate seeing legislations being voted on then it quite is assumed yet so a techniques the Democrats have failed on exceptionally lots maximum legislations interior the Senate so a techniques & i don't think of Immigration would be any diverse.it will be exciting to work out how Democrats could have the capacity to describe their household initiatives because of the fact the accepted public to get legislations ought to they fail,can they blame it on Republicans this time? i think of not,yet actual they'll attempt !

Let's see..$849 billion for the "health care reform bill" and $757 billion for the "stimulus" and a whole $600 million to secure the border. I'm comprehending that they aren't that serious yet.

Funny thing. I think lobbyists for certain corporations in this country that want to hire cheap help are pushing for us to be lenient with illegals and keep them here.

But, the average American citizen I know (from all parties) is sick to death of people coming here and taking advantage of us.

I want quadruple the amount of troupes at our borders and lots more money spent to keep these out and get the ones that are here out. Come to this country legally and I welcome you with open arms. Get a job, pay taxes and earn my respect please. Do not sneak in here and work illegally and then somehow take advantage of us taxpayers. I'm sick of leaches and I want them out permanently.

These are evil people who only want to suck the blood our of us. They will get social security, return to their countries and live like kings. Not fair, that is MY money.

I am not for big spending coming out of Washington and think a great deal of what they have done is frivolous, but in the case of illegals, I would want more and more spending as it's worth it and protecting us all.

I think it's been on the presidents agenda for awhile. Unless something like the economy takes priority, it should get resolved.

Don't expect to get a good solution though. Both sides are too petty to agree to anything reasonable. They will throw out every good idea because someone else said it first. Just look at the health care reform bill. In politics, the best solution is the one that leaves both sides equally unhappy.

I still want to know everything before they pass the bill.

if it does pass, it'll become law without Obama's signature.

They should follow whatever Arizona is doing, thus following existing law. Otherwise our boarder states will become third world countries.
