格老至少官面上不反对给非法移民公民身份。格老只是希望scure the border first.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary
Committee, on Friday said he could support an immigration reform bill from
the House if secures the border.
Grassley, who voted against the immigration reform bill that passed the
Senate last week, said he's more likely to support legislation from the
House that adequately deals with border security.
"I hope that the House of Representatives — well, the reason that I voted
against the [Senate] bill was because it didn't secure the border first,"
Grassley said Friday in an interview with Iowa's 1040 WHO radio station.
"But I think the House of Representatives is more for border security than
the Senate is, and I think we'll get a bill out of the House that I think I
can vote for, particularly if it does secure the border."
The bill that passed the Senate offers a pathway to citizenship for
immigrants living in the country illegally while doubling the number of
Border Patrol agents. A number of top House lawmakers have criticized the
Senate bill and declared it dead on arrival in their chamber.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has said he would not bring an immigration
bill to the House floor unless it's supported by a majority of House
Republicans. The conference will meet on July 10 to discuss its legislative
strategy.
Grassley was asked if it would be futile to support an immigration bill
backed by House Republicans because of the likelihood that it would die in
the Democratic-controlled Senate.
"The House isn't going to be able to shove down the throats of the Senate
any more than the Senate is going to shove its bill down the throat of the
House of Representatives, so I think it's a matter of finding consensus,"
Grassley responded.
