WASHINGTON — House Republicans are scrambling to find a compromise on immigration legislation that can satisfy conservatives who want to crackdown on illegal immigration and build a wall along the southern border and moderates who want to help people brought into the country illegally as children, known as DREAMers.

They are hoping to avoid a rebellion among GOP moderates who have been working with Democrats on an unusual process to force a vote on the immigration plan they support.

GOP leaders have called for a lengthy meeting with all their members Thursday morning.

Well, hell, even stupid ol me knows how this is going to go:

The dreamers will be allowed to stay and will be given a path to citizenship, perhaps even immediately, with the definition of “dreamer” being expanded to its most liberal reaches and in exchange the other side will offer up the promise of building a wall and enhanced border security.

And in the end, the Dems will get millions of new voters and we will get nothing but promises that will never come to fruition but our “leaders” will piss down our backs telling us it’s raining and what a great deal for all Americans this is.

Maybe this is a silly thought, but perhaps we should enforce the laws we already have and THEN determine if we need to make changes?

Damn!  What a novel idea!  Wonder why we haven't thought of that before?

Well, if they were really interested in compromise, they could let the Dreamers who have not had criminal convictions, whether felony or misdemeanor, stay, but FIRST remove chain migration.  I could live with that.

Also, get rid of dual citizenship.  Used to be that way, and should be now.
