It is sad that this can go on without regard for the good of the Country - Menendez eyes lame-duck session for immigration

Menendez eyes lame-duck session for immigration - POLITICO Live - POLITICO.com

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) said Sunday that he introduced an immigration bill just before Congress’ midterm elections break so he could get “lame-duck movement” on the legislation after Nov. 2.

“A lot of senators are retiring and might be willing to look at the issue,” Menendez said on CNN’s "State of the Union." “We need something to jump off from if we’re going to go into it in the early part of the next Congress.”

He said his bill has Republican proposals in it to entice GOP senators to get on board.

But Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who also appeared on the show Sunday, suggested that GOP support will be difficult to get.

“I hope to work with Sen. Menendez on immigration reform, but it’s much too important to be treated as a political football or to try to jam through during a lame duck session,” Cornyn said.

Cut off all forms of welfare to non-citizens, refuse citizenship to children of illegals and the illegal immigration problem will virtually disappear, much like the boarder fence did.
