House Republicans on some illegal immigrants citizenship Tuesday took a tentative step, but resistance from the White House down immediately hit the wall Democrats say that it is not enough.
Republican proposal dismissive response, a number of immigrants eventually brought the illegal U.S. citizen children emphasized in the Republican-led House of Representatives on the immigration issue politically explosive find any compromise difficult.
Left prospects cloudy President Obama's second term priorities. Congress is preparing to end of next week to break the one-month summer recess full House did not act on immigration legislation, even in general terms in the Senate passed a bipartisan bill last month to ensure that the citizens of borders and paths have been 110,000 illegal immigrants in the country.
How to deal with illegal immigrants brought here as a child the House Judiciary immigration subcommittee hearing held on Tuesday, the Judiciary chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-VA, suggested that: "We, as a nation should let this group of young people to stay in the United States is legal. "House Republican leaders have accepted the offer of such immigrants citizenship Goodlatte a bill, Majority Leader Eric Cantor toward the goal.
This is a turnaround in the Republican Party in the past, many people are opposed to the legalization of immigrant children brought here. Some Democrats and immigration advocates say, this is a welcome developments show the Republican nomination has moved forward since last year's presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who suggested that people here illegally "self-deportation."
However, even before the start of the hearing Democrats dismissed Goodlatte and Cantor unreleased legislation, he said that any solution that does not provide all of the 110,000 citizens of immigrants here illegally inadequate.
Through Twitter, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer attacked "the cruel hypocrisy of the GOP immigration plan: let some children leave, but their parents are deported."
Drew Rep. Trey Gowdy, they proposed, Chairman of the Subcommittee of immigrants who angry reaction. Read aloud at the hearing after Pfeiffer's tweet, Pfeiffer Gowdy labeled "demagogic, self-serving political hack."
Cantor spokesman Rory Cooper also responded to Pfeiffer, called for the adoption Twitter: "If the White House efforts to oppose the path to the child to remain in the only country they know, how serious they are immigration reform?"
In fact, Democrats and immigrant advocates pushed hard in the last few years, legislation to provide citizenship as a teen brought immigrants. The so-called DREAM Act passed the House in 2010, when it was controlled by Democrats, but by Senate Republicans blocked.
But now, with the Senate passed a comprehensive solution, such as in front of the Democratic Party and outside activists say they will not settle for anything less.
"Only dreamers legalization is not enough," said Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-sick. "I can not imagine for a minute, Republicans, who also honored the divine family, want their children to legalize, but leave the rest of the family vulnerable."
Some Democrats and external advocates also argued that Republicans promote political attractiveness measures just to give themselves cover to avoid dealing with all illegal immigrants here. They pointed out that the House of Representatives last June's Republican majority voted to overturn the policy of the Obama administration to stop the expulsion of some of the immigrants to the United States Youth - the policies put in place after Congress failed to pass the DREAM Act.
"Do not be fooled, this is not a dream bill., Said:" This is about politics and the Republicans have tried to make it look like they're serious about immigration reform, fair immigration reform movement in a statement.
Republicans warned that such objections could be counterproductive.
"Try to be grouped into a homogeneous whole 110,000 community efforts to ensure political remedy would only hurt the most vulnerable, said:" The Gowdy.
Cantor and Goodlatte did not disclose the details of their legislation, but it is likely to be narrower in scope than the DREAM Act, which would provide legal status to 35 years of age, came to America 16 years ago and lived here for five years, and received a high school diploma. Slightly more than 21,000 migrants are eligible, according to the Migration Policy Institute analysis.
Republican lawmakers expressed support for a series of hearings on Tuesday, as the children of illegal immigrants to bring some solutions. But feelings are not universal.
Rep. Steve King, R Iowa, a leading immigration hardliners, saying such an approach is tantamount to "backdoor amnesty" will "sacrifice on the altar of the rule of law, political expediency."
King also attacked his conservative news site Newsmax last week, his low-key idea, many young people are illegal immigrants reaching a high of comments. , "The king said:" For every graduate who represented, there is another 100, weighs 130 pounds, they've got the size of cantaloupes calves as they cross the desert towing 75 pounds of marijuana.
Congressman Joe Garcia, D-FLA, told the king, such language was "offensive and below it is the body and the dignity of the country."
Meanwhile, earlier in the day, House Speaker John Boehner, R Ohio, insists that, although House Republicans have rejected a Senate bill that they are committed to deal with immigration, they just want to do it, step by step, and deliberate fashion.
, "Boehner said," No one spent more time than I am trying to fix a broken immigration system.
White House spokesman Jay Carney responded ridicule.
"The idea that you can - oh, I do not know - announced that they have more than anyone working to improve our immigration system, and then nothing shows that this is a bit ridiculous," Carney said.
