OBAMA IS A BLACK ISLAMIC TERRORIST COMMIE FOREIGNER

(SLATE) -- Democrats are unified in favor of the bipartisan Gang of 8 immigration reform legislation that’s already passed the United States Senate. But Republicans are divided. A small group really wants immigration reform to pass (less, I think, out of concern for Latino votes than out of enthusiasm about the other pro-growth aspects of the bill) while a much larger group really wants immigration reform to die. That leaves a crucial swing bloc that doesn’t particularly want immigration reform to pass, but doesn’t really want Republicans to kill it either. Their best hope was really for disagreement inside Democratic ranks to make it impossible to forge a consensus with pro-reform Republican senators and thus the whole thing could simply fall apart. But that didn’t work out. So now they’re casting around for excuses, and they’ve come up with two lame ones.
The newest one is to link the issue to health care. Representative Raul Labrador of Idaho, a House Republican who used to be negotiating with Democrats for a bill but who’s now pulled out of the talks, stated this argument on Sunday on Meet The Press.
“If you look at this Obamacare debacle that they have right now, this administration is actually deciding when and where to actually enforce the law,” Labrador said, “and that’s what some of us in the House are concerned about.”
