Republicans might
want to reorder their own priorities. A viable opposition party is a terrible
thing to waste
By
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) seems
determined to undo the political advantage the GOP has gained from the
disastrous implementation of ObamaCare.
According to the New York Times, Boehner “has
signaled he may embrace a series of limited changes to the nation’s immigration
laws in the coming months,” bringing up a series of bills to advance that
agenda. Apparently Boehner is holding firm to the belief that the need for some
kind of “reform” outweighs the risks of alienating his core constituency.
According to the Boehner’s aides, the Speaker is considering a
“step by step” process, though they did not identify these steps in
specificity. TheTimes, no doubt in an effort to be “helpful,” suggested
that such an agenda might include fast-tracking legalization for agricultural
workers, increasing the number of visas for high-tech workers, or embracing
citizenship for young illegals whose parents brought them across the border.
Unsurprisingly, gaining control of the border failed to make the
list.
