An illusion of movement. Either a legislative body votes or it doesn't. End of discussion.

The right wing reaches back across time to state, "The Democrats had the House and Senate for two years, why didn't they pass immigration reform then?" 

Why? Because people dying at the hand of the health care system was more important IN REFORM priorities than immigration. That's why.

The right wing has nothing to say about reaching back in time. Do Rebuglicans want immigration reform? 

NO! NO! NO! NO! Kindly get that FACT to the American people and most of all to the Hispanic community. The Republicans DO NOT WANT IMMIGRATION REFORM.

"W" could get immigration reform done in the face of a Congress of majority for FOUR years starting with 2001 and ending with 2006. "W"'s party held the House and Senate for four years and nothing was done about ANY of the problems of the USA then either. No immigration reform, no health care reform, but, alas we were a country at war and had to make sacrifices.

If the USA is going to be at war because some lunatics are on the loose in the Middle East it will never get any of it's domestic problems solved.

With the Hispanic community receive immigration reform under Jeb Bush? Absolutely not.

November 21, 2014

...His Friday statement on Obama's executive action (click here) to protect nearly 5 million immigrants from deportation was nuanced, taking aim only at the tactic, not the ultimate effect.

"President Obama's ill-advised unilateral action on illegal immigration undermines all efforts to forge a permanent solution to this crisis. Action must come in the form of bipartisan comprehensive reform passed through Congress," (Jeb) Bush said.

He later tweeted that the move was "an abuse of power."

But both Presidents George H.W. Bush and his son used similar unilateral action to protect immigrants from the threat of deportation under similar circumstances.

In 2001 President George W. Bush extended protections to as many as 150,000 Salvadorans in the United States illegally. And the elder Bush implemented a "Family Fairness" policy to allow an estimated 1.5 million close family members of newly legalized immigrants under the sweeping 1986 immigration reform measureto avoid deportation while they applied for legal status....

Jeb Bush is seeking to run for the presidency, so lying is a good thing. Toe the line for FOX's allegiance.

Because immigration reform ITSELF will not determine elections. Immigration reform is a 'hot' topic to corral the Hispanic vote. Even Rubio turns away from it when his party comes down on it.

There is every indication elections don't matter, too. It has long been DECIDED health care was a real problem in the USA. Not made up for elections as the Republicans carry as their moniker, NOTHINGNESS "Vote for me."

There are sincere problems in the USA. The devastation of the 2007-08 global economic collapse destroyed lives. People lost everything. Was that ever important to Republicans? No. They screamed and yelled, the Restoration Act of 2009 was simply big government. Well. Yeah.

The Republicans can't accept change because the cronies are established in the past, not the future.

The Democrats have always been the champion of the underserved, the fringes, the can do party. They not only accept change, they experience the pain of the people and seek change. They address problems. They don't allow people to linger in the vapors of politics.

Currently, if the trend is to BUY the offices in the House, Senate and White House there won't be sincere change for Immigration Reform ever. I hope the Hispanic population understands that. If there is no legislation on the floor and being passed by both houses of government at the federal level with a President willing to sign the legislation; there will never any immigration reform. How do I know that?

Jeb Bush is a supposed moderate: He later tweeted that the move was "an abuse of power."

If Jebby actually cared about immigration reform and wanted to anchor is elections in 2016, he should have stated, "None of this would be necessary if the US House would pass the Senate bill." Is that what he said. No, he is using much needed immigration reform as a campaign issue for 2016. Will he resolve the problem? No.

If Jebby wanted to resolve the problem and sincerely have immigration reform come to an end, he would abmonished the US House and he didn't and he won't.

The perpetual bouncing ball. An illusion of movement.
