Cornyn among Texans participating in White House immigration meeting this afternoon

Several Texans -- Sen. John Cornyn and Reps. Lamar Smith, Sheila Jackson Lee and Silvestre Reyes -- are among the members of Congress invited to meet with President Obama in a bipartisan session that was scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Here's how the White House describes the goal:

"The meeting is intended to launch a policy conversation by having an honest discussion about the issues and identifying areas of agreement and areas where we still have work to do, with the hope of beginning the debate in earnest later this year."

-- John Gravois

Isn't it interesting that all the people invited to this meeting are pro amnesty.

We have seen numerous attempts at immigration reform over the last several years. All have gone down in flames. Yet, the politicians keep pushing for amnesty despite the overwhelming opposition from the American people. Unemployment keeps going up. Jobs are tight. Yet Obama wants to make it harder for Americans to get those jobs. He blasts companies for sending jobs overseas, but wants to make it easier for workers from across the border. What kind of sense does that make

It makes NO sense,but,Democrats need the votes and Republicans need the cheap labor,they are both working in "concert" with each other and Cornyn and KBH are no different,but,we get what we vote for,so are any of you really surprised?
