BREAK OUT THE CHAMPAGNE (france) and fireworks (china), the american congress, or at least eight members of it, at long last, and in typical highly dramatic american style, has reached a bipartisan compromise, if only for the purpose of taking power away from obama (president) and bewtowing it upon themselves ( the eight great members of congress).
when obama announced his intention of delivering a speech on immigration in las vegas, tomorrow, tuesday, a group of eight congresspeople, half and half, decided to upstage him by coming out with a grand and dramatic bipartisan plan momday, just ahead of the prez.
whatever. common courtesy trumped by politics as usual. the republican four finally agree to accept obama's pathway to citizenship for twelve million or so alien beings, and the dems agree to pave the pathway with pure hell, which appeals to the repubs.
also, actual border security will be given consideration, for the first time ever. The question is, how will obama respond to all this in his undoubtedly updated speech tuesday? If he's smart, which he is, he'll say something like "I'm glad you folks in congress finally got together, agreed on something, and got on board with my ideas. I've been waiting for you!"
The new and improved pathway to citizenship will require learning english, learning american hagiography, ignoring american history, paying an entrance fee, having a clean criminal record, having a job, listening to rock n roll, going to baseball games, watching "american idol", and so forth, and so on.
americans as a whole have never really cared much about who comes and goes, the land is so big, after all, and so empty...eventually maybe we'll just decide to let people go anywhere they want, without making all this fuss about it. Lettuce hope so.
