he was out of order. No compromise, so again, you have proven my side not yours. Losing!!!!Change the subject every time you're educated much? His EO was what was overdue and needed in the opinion of everyone, except by the idiot racist TP.but where is the compromise for the executive order that Obama put forth? where is it? See, one needs to offer up something to counter the other side. I still don't see it. Sorry, you still fail.You name it, Dems tried compromise, idiot. For example, ACA is the Nixon/Dole/Heritage plan. Every budget, sequester, immigration. You're in the Fox Rush etc news blackout.
Repubicans weren't allowed to offer any amendments to the ACA, so that's total crap.
How is a budget sequester "compromise?" Apperently dims view an cut in any program other than the Defense Dept to be a defeat. Based on that position, then every increase in any program other than the Defense Dept is a defeat to the GOP. So that makes it Dims 3000 to GOP 1.
When did Obama compromise on immirgation? I must have missed it.Wiki:You name it, Dems tried compromise, idiot. For example, ACA is the Nixon/Dole/Heritage plan. Every budget, sequester, immigration. You're in the Fox Rush etc news blackout.

On January 28, 2013, a bi-partisan group of eight Senators, known as the "Gang of Eight" announced principles for comprehensive immigration reform (CIR). The Senators involved include: Charles Schumer of New York, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, and Michael Bennet of Colorado, and RepublicansJohn McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marco Rubio of Florida, and Jeff Flake of Arizona.[45]
The policies envisioned by the Senators include the following provisions:
In April 2013, according to Congressional Quarterly, the existence of a bipartisan group of lawmakers working to reform immigration was revealed during a question and answer session at a Ripon Society event with House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH).[47]
- A citizenship path for illegal immigrants already in the United States contingent on certain border security and visa tracking improvements. The plan provides for permanent residence for illegal immigrants only after legal immigrants waiting for a current priority date receive their permanent residence status and a different citizenship path for agricultural workers through an agricultural worker program.
- Business immigration system reforms, focusing on reducing current visa backlogs and fast tracking permanent residence for U.S. university immigrant graduates with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or math also known as the STEM fields.
- An expanded and improved employment verification system for all employers to confirm employee work authorization.
- Improved work visa options for low-skill workers including an agricultural worker program.[46]
On April 16, 2013, the "Gang of Eight" in the United States Senate introduced S.744, the long-awaited Senate version of the immigration reform bill proposed in congress.[48] The bill was a product of bipartisan cooperation among Senate lawmakers, business groups, labor unions, agricultural interests, and immigration advocates, who negotiated many compromises resulting in an architecture for reform – including a path to citizenship for eleven million illegal immigrants, an temporary worker program, increased visa numbers for skilled foreign workers, and a nationwide employment eligibility verification system.[49]
On June 27, 2013, the United States Senate approved S.744, known as the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 in a historic 68-to-32 vote.[50] The immigration reform bill was sent to the United States House of Representatives, but has not since then been brought to the House floor for debate or an up-or-down vote.[51]
It'agreed it would pass if Boehner allowed a vote, dingbat. Change the channel.
