The Senate bill creates an extremely difficult path to citizenship, and increases border security to miltary-like levels.  Senator Rubio practically wrote the thing, and the majority of Republicans in the House still won't pass it.  The temper tantrum over President Obama's election/re-election is never going to end.  The country has never been more divided, except for maybe back during the Civil War era.

Not really.  President Obama faced more filibusters in his first term than any other President in the history of the US.  Republican obstructionism in the House has prevented tons of good, bipartisan legislation from getting passed . 

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_times_have_republicans_filibustered_Obama (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_times_have_republicans_filibustered_Obama)

Quote
According to the Senate Historical Office, since the president took office, there have been a record number of filibusters; Republicans in the senate united to block nearly every major proposal that the Obama administration made, rather than letting such proposals receive an up-or-down vote on the floor of the senate, as used to be the custom. By some counts, there have been more than one hundred filibusters since 2009 (counting the refusal to confirm judges, that number rises even further); these filibusters included bills or proposals that Republicans previously had supported.

Among the bills Republicans filibustered were:
H.R. 12 - Paycheck Fairness Act
H.R. 448 -- Elder Abuse Victims Act
H.R. 466 - Wounded Veteran Job Security Act
H.R. 515 - Radioactive Import Deterrence Act
H.R. 549 -- National Bombing Prevention Act
H.R. 577 - Vision Care for Kids Act
H.R. 626 - Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act
H.R. 1029 - Alien Smuggling and Terrorism Prevention Act
H.R. 1168 -- Veterans Retraining Act
H.R. 1171 - Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program Reauthorization
H.R. 1293 -- Disabled Veterans Home Improvement and Structural Alteration Grant Increase Act
H.R. 1429 -- Stop AIDS in Prison Act
H.R.5281 -- DREAM Act
S.3985 -- Emergency Senior Citizens Relief Act
S.3816 -- Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act
S.3369 -- DISCLOSE Act, A bill to provide for additional disclosure requirements for corporations, labor organizations, Super PACs and other entities
S.2237 -- Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act
S.2343 -- Stop the Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act
S.1660 -- American Jobs Act of 2011
S.3457 -- Veterans Jobs Corps Act


Gerrymandering has gotten so bad that only a handful of districts are even competitive any more.  What we're seeing now is highly conservative districts "primary" any Republican representative who shows a hint of being moderate or being able to compromise.  You can scoff at the notion that the political environment in Washington is as toxic and divided as its ever been, but I'm not the only one who has noticed.  Obama is the modern Jackie Robinson, the first minority President in our country's history, and he is facing an unprecedented amount of political opposition from the Republican party.  You know it's bad when Marco Rubio's personally drafted immigration bill can't even get a vote in the House.

The Senate bill doubles the size of the US border patrol, from 21,000 to 38,000.  This is on top of the fact that the US border patrol doubled in size just ten years ago, from 10,000 to 21,000, after 9/11.  Ironically, the "small government" conservatives fully support the border patrol surge part of the immigration bill, and want to vote on it separately.  Everything else in the bill involving actual compromise, which includes a path to citizenship for over 11 million people, will likely be unable to pass in the House.

Quote
TUCSON, Ariz. — The U.S. Senate is expected to vote today on a surge of border enforcement that would virtually double the infrastructure and manpower already in place along the nation’s borders. Though along the U.S.-Mexico border, many say they are skeptical of the new plan.

The announced rush of agents and fencing to the border surprised many people. The plan, authored by Republican Senators John Hoeven of North Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee, calls for nearly doubling the U.S. Border Patrol from 21,000 to 38,000 agents. It will also add another 700 miles of fencing to the border and increase aerial and radar surveillance of the borderlands – all at a cost of at least $30 billion.

In Washington D.C., politicians called it a major compromise aimed at passing the most sweeping immigration reform in a generation. On the border, however, skeptics call it something else.

Seems like it would be easier to keep them out at the border than police all employment.  Either way, I'd rather they just stick with the cheap labor and let they states decide whether they want to bankrupt themselves with welfare.

Also, illegal border crossing is a serious health safety and welfare issue that is completely ignored in all of this.  Which favors border security.

it seems way easier to police employment.  all you need is a decent id system and penalties for flouting the law.  way less costly and causes way less distortion than trying to stop anyone from crossing a two thousand mile long invisible line.  not to mention that currently (with the allegedly unsecured, horribly porous border), something like 40% of illegals arrive legally and overstay their visas.

illegally crossing the border is a health and welfare issue because in order to cross a border that we attempt to secure, people pay violent, amoral criminals to smuggle them across and/or attempt to cross in areas that have inhospitable, dangerous climates and terrains.  stop trying to secure the border and that all immediately goes away.

Tighter employer verification standards will only go so far to prevent illegal employment, and they do nothing to stop the various other problems associated with uncontrolled borders. For example:

Wow, my solution actually sounds pretty good, except for border fence, which seems like a waste of money. Thanks.

The problem with your system is that it forces employers to select from unqualified applicants who are unwilling to work the number of hours for the same pay as an illegal immigrant. It inflates the cost of US goods beyond what the free market dictates while reducing the quality of those goods due to the poor quality of the work provided by the unemployed US citizens. This shrinks the US economy, leading to unemployment, reduced government tax revenue, and more entitlement spending. All it really accomplishes is keeping Mexicans in Mexico.

What's the benefit of millions more minimally educated low-wage workers that will be receiving more from the state than pay in?

but why try to keep them out at the border?  you don't have to secure your border to restrict access to employment.

Tighter employer verification standards will only go so far to prevent illegal employment, and they do nothing to stop the various other problems associated with uncontrolled borders. For example:
- Anchor babies.
- Narcotics.
- "Free" access to health care.

Of course, liberals would disagree that any of these things are a "problem."

Unfortunately, your solution is worse than the problem.

Wait - what's my solution?

Ah, the old "doing the work Americans just won't do, and doing it better, too" line.  :rolleyes: If anything, this seems like an argument for abolishing the minimum wage, rather than employing a slave class.

Americans will do the job if you pay them more and give them more time off. They won't perform at the same level, though. If they were hard working people, they wouldn't be unemployed.

Sounds like an argument for reforming our welfare and disability programs.

How is welfare reform going to make the majority of people on welfare desirable to American employers?

To take an extreme example, needing to eat is a wonderful incentive to make people work harder.

It's not really an incentive to hire somebody when a more experienced worker is available from Mexico who doesn't have a documented history of being lazy.
