GOP leaders are finalizing plans for an open
debate on immigration to be held by legislators at their late January
closed-door strategy session in Cambridge, Md.
The debate will include a panel of legislators, an outside expert, and
an open mic, allowing members to comment on a one-page set of “principles” that
likely will be released at the event, according to a person with knowledge of
the situation.
The format will put Speaker of the House John
Boehner and immigration advocate Rep. Paul Ryan in the driver’s seat. But a new
poll that shows increased voter hostility to an amnesty is highlighting the
difficulty that they face in trying to satisfy both their November voters and
their business donors.
