The Republican controlled House is mapping out its own version of immigration reform. Although it will probably be anathema to supporters of the Gang of Eight bill, Democrats, RHINO Republicans, and of course the community organizer in chief it will probably be a hit with the majority of the American public. Instead of a path to citizenship it offers green cards to those who are here illegally.
Republican Congressman Bob Goodlatte, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who is playing a major role in the chamber’s consideration of immigration reform, on Sunday addressed what is perhaps at the heart of the impasse.
He said the House, which is drafting its own plan, cannot agree to a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Rather, he wants a “pathway to legalization” — in other words, allow some illegal immigrants a shot at a green card, but not full-fledged citizenship.
The pathway to citizenship, though, is a cornerstone of the Senate-passed bill, and any Democrat-backed plan.
