U.S. Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., chairman of the House International Relations subcommittee on international terrorism, left, and U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-El Paso, shake hands with pannel members as they take part in a border hearing in Laredo, Texas, Friday, July 7, 2006. The House subcommittee held the hearings about illegal immigration, asking local law enforcement officials to explain the challenges they face along the U.S.-Mexico border.

AP: House GOP to push immigration enforcement

House Republican leaders are scheduling a new round of immigration hearings, saying three already held have strengthened their case for enforcement-heavy legislation.

Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday the hearings have made clear that a Senate bill that opens an avenue toward citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants would undermine border security.

He contended that members of both parties are moving toward the House position that the nation’s estimated 12 million illegal immigrants should be offered no guarantees against being deported.

“I think the hearings have been an absolute success, and they’ve put us in a stronger position to craft a responsible bill that secures our borders and strictly enforces our immigration laws,” Boehner said.

In Boehner’s dream……..

The Senate will never approve a stronger border enforcement bill.

Looks like NO BILL this sesson – which is good since the GOP will be fare better election-wise running away from President Bush’s position on immigration reform.

Stay tuned….
