[QUOTE="jayem, post: 73864728, member: 8344"] Nailed it. As was discussed in an earlier thread, S.744 was a comprehensive immigration reform bill that would have addressed border security, exploitation of undocumented immigrants by employers, and a fair, humane way to deal with those illegal residents who already live here. It passed the Senate, Pres. O would have signed it, but it didn't even get a hearing in the House. Almost entirely for political reasons. Immigration hard-liners didn't want to be seen as voting for any kind of amnesty. Maybe it's time to think about Congressional term limits. Replace those old hyper-partisan ideological zealots with regular infusions of fresh people with different ideas. It wouldn't require a Constitutional amendment--just a rules change in each chamber. Obviously, still a very tall order. [/QUOTE]
