Report indicates that the House Republicans likely stand tough on CIR and
tomorrow meeting will turn out nothing but reiteration of this memo as
talking points.
---------------------------------
House Republicans plan to discuss their next steps on the comprehensive
Senate immigration bill at a private meeting Wednesday, laying out plans for
potential legislation with heavy discussion on border security, according
to memos exclusively obtained by Fox News.
The memos, sent to House Republican rank and file members, contain talking
points describing various past immigration reform bills and the border
security component of the bill passed last month by the Senate on a 68-32
vote.
The talking points highlight legislation introduced in the House Judiciary
Committee to “address various issues that have contributed to the broken
system,” including the SAFE Act, which would allow states to create and
enforce their own immigration laws.
“If we want to avoid the mistakes of the past, we cannot allow the
President to have unilateral control over the enforcement on/off switch,”
the talking points memo reads.
The memo also highlights proposals to create a temporary agricultural guest
worker program , increase high-skilled immigration and expand E-Verify – an
electronic database that identifies individuals working here illegally by
checking the Social Security numbers of new hires.
House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and other Republicans have said the
comprehensive Senate immigration bill that couples the promise of
citizenship for those living here unlawfully with increased border security
is a nonstarter in the House.
There is a vocal and growing contingent of House Republicans who don't like
how the GOP leadership brass is handling immigration reform. They believe
that Wednesday's meeting has "pre-cooked" a conclusion and that the House
Republican leadership is "rushing" a bill.
"We need to be the party of solutions and not always obstructing. And, so, I
think there's an effort here that we have a broken immigration system. We
need to fix this immigration system," McCaul said Sunday on CBS' "Face the
Nation," predicting that the full House could take up immigration as early
as this month and representatives from both chambers could be working to
resolve differences in the House and Senate versions late this year or early
next.
The House Judiciary Committee has adopted a piecemeal approach, approving a
series of bills, none with a path to citizenship that Obama and Democrats
are seeking. Democrats hope the single-issue bills get them to a conference
with the Senate, where the prospects for a far-reaching overhaul improve.
"I think what you're finding is that there will be a compromise, a smart
compromise," Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., said Sunday, also on CBS. "You
have to be smart. You have to be tough. But you have to be fair. And if you
can do that, you'll have a full fix."
