Passing immigration reform will undoubtedly be more difficult for Republicans but would be a major step toward winning the Hispanic vote on the way to taking the White House.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham recently argued that Republicans winning the 2016 presidential race essentially hinges on the party using its newly-acquired congressional majority to deliver on the issue.
The Senate in 2013 passed comprehensive reform with bipartisan support. And House Speaker John Boehner has said he too wants to pass immigration reform but has not had the votes from his conservative caucus.

As I read that article, my first thought was, "what does immigration reform mean, anyway?"
Then as I continued reading I asked, "was this article written by a robot?" It was so dry and without theme, or greater point.
Sure enough, no author... Do they just have a 'steno pool' of twitter scrapers working to craft these articles, or what?

I actually thought it was pretty unbiased for FOX

:lol: Well, a robot can't be too biased, now can it. It just does what it's programmed to do. And if their process is literally to scrape dry info, it won't have any opinion attached to it, since that would require creative thinking.
That's not to say the 'journalists' at FOX are without capacity to be dry and listless. :lol:
 
Remember when CNN used to just report news all day long and MTV played music videos?
I miss that
Yes, but I don't miss it. The ability to pull in information has increased exponentially since then. Obviously, the market for information will specialize in order to capture niche consumers since it is relatively pointless to try and capture a broad base due to limitations of time in consumption, or as economics would call it: opportunity cost of the consumer.
But that type of 'journalism' in my estimation is either telling of the worthlessness in creative insight amongst certain demographics, or it indicates information in general has become just shallow bites devoid of background and/or context.
Considering the source, I'm thinking it has to do with attention spans. Anyway, that was just a side observation; I didn't mean to derail the thread. :lol:

If you follow current events. You can take that info and make your own analysis.
I already figured out months ago the Republicans were pissed Obama took the thunder out of their Latino outreach program.
They were hoping Latino voters had no memory of why immigration reform was stalled in the first place

So is this immigration reform issue about Latino outreach? What is Latino outreach? Does it have to do with fondling genitalia?

So, it has nothing to do with the fact that Obama is issuing unconstitutional orders and not upholding all of the laws faithfully as he took his oath, it is just politics...

Are you really that partisan?

damn, now that's some partisan idiocy.

obama's order is constitutional, they even took a vote on it in the senate. it passed 74-22 as constitutional. even your own party says so.

you must be some type of extremist moron.
