Immigration is a political tool that Dems nor Repubs wants to fix,as long as the dems can keep getting the latino vote and talking the talk,why fix it? Do you really think the Republicans will rush to pass CIR as the Senate bill is written to stop a TPS move by Obama,hell no...Obama is giving them exactly what they want people with no chance of citizenship..no new voters.. Lets make lemonade...there have also been some reports that this move by Obama could cost the Dems the senate..Americans as a whole are fed up with the inaction of both parties on several issues. The Republicans have done nothing but fought this BLACK president tooth and nail for the last 6years...I have never seen such disrespect for any other American president in my 20 yrs of being here.

The possibility of losing the senate exist even if the president don’t sign a TPS, traditionally presidents party loses legislative power in midterm elections, but you are right this is a political game, Republicans know that they cannot face 2016 elections without passing some sort of CIR but they don’t want to give Dems credit for doing that when they know they can pass whatever they want if they control both chambers in the next couple years and to be honest I don’t think it will be a lot different from what TPS offers other than make it permanent, a scary thought.
I don’t think that scenario will help Reps to win an election but Reps are a different kind of breed disconnected with reality. |
