James Carafano: Time For A Reality Check
Writing for the new site Daily Caller, James Carafano says that immigration won't be a winning issue for Congressional Democrats. "In the House, anything can be passed with 218 votes. The Democrats control 256. Yet the Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already said she won't let the House touch immigration until the Senate passes a successful bill first. Meanwhile, the good Senator from New York who crafted the administration's amnesty bill refused to even introduce it before the Christmas holiday break, out of fear Members would get pummeled by constituents back home. It hardly sounds like the Congressional leadership thinks it has a winning issue here."
