House Republicans push specific immigration changes, say reform not a 'race' - Page 2

I don't understand where this mentality of 'all or nothing' from the dems came from.

Do it piece by piece, or no one will get anything.

The Repubs will have to cave in and will cave in I'm afraid. There's no point in passing DA only. CIR is a must.

I pretty much agree with you, the repubs are only resorting to piecemeal due to the fact that they finally have to act in some way. They had the chance to act for us two years ago, where was their sympathy in december of 2010? Where were the crocodile tears before june 15th 2012? before November 2012? To hell with piecemeal, CIR all the way!

they are just now realizing that. Durbin has been shoving that exact excerpt into their faces since 2001...

It came from Obama. You don't realize that if the Republicans deny the passage of CIR again they will remain in ill favor of Hispanic minority votes. And might even lose control of the House come next election. Republicans want a piece meal so they can pass one thing, gain favor and deny the rest. It is a brilliant attempt at doing nothing and getting everything for them. That is why I believe Obama wants everything at once or people will be left out such as LGBT if done by piecemeal. And that in piecemeal it will all get even more diluted by Republican deductions once they pass the first part. I hope that makes sense. It's what I believe. I realize it must worry you that nothing will get done, if done all at once. But you have to realize Republicans are actually being proactive on immigration because it is hurting them. It's now or never, and it is way better to help everyone and not screw it all up with a piecemeal.

Have you guys noticed not ONCE has the Term DREAM ACT been mentioned ANYWHERE
