Last week, it appeared as if the Republicans were willing to let the immigration issue die until after the election.This week, the House of Representatives seems determined to keep the issue alive. Here is another quote from Majority Leader John Boehner received via email:
"It was important to hear directly from our committee chairmen about the border security hearings held over August and how we can best address the immediate need to secure America 's borders. The hearings we held over the last two months demonstrated the Reid-Kennedy Democrat bill would undermine, rather than strengthen, our border security.People writing stuff like this might want to re-evaluate the landscape...
"Republicans will take immediate action to put legislation on the President's desk that fulfills our promise to strengthen our border security by providing more border patrol agents, enhancing enforcement, building more fencing, and increasing surveillance. Republicans will vote on these reforms before adjournment and work to send them to the President's desk for his signature."
