House Judiciary Committee passed Chairman Lamar Smith's Legal Workforce Act
 
The House Judiciary Committee passed Chairman Lamar Smith's Legal Workforce Act (H.R.2885) on Wednesday afternoon 22-to-13.

bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate.

Considering that Republicans argue that no reform on immigration will be addressed until the border is secure, isn't it really ironic that they are essentially aiming to reform a portion of the immigration system????????????

I have a feeling that E-verify will now pass along with this act in the lower house. I really anticipate a heated debate on immigration coming up, guys. I hope Democrats resist and pressure for compromise. I also hope Democrats publicly mention that what the GOP is trying to pass undermines its border security first, then immigration reform platform.

Republicans are so stupid. I swear.

E-Verify would fail in the Senate.

Oh no it wont. Democrats want E-verify as part of some immigration reform package.

Yes. Deficit is one example.

So, either Reid combines this with E-verify and the DREAM Act. Or, Schumer shocks us with a immigration reform bill of his own.

What the hell, Numbers USA has its own webcast TV station? Why doesn't Dream Act have the same?
