<\/a>Pro-amnesty supporters have one strategy for Congress this fall: go to conference.\u00a0<\/b>Their goal is to pass any kind of immigration bill in the House and then work out the differences for a mass amnesty when the House and Senate hold a conference committee on their different bills.<\/p>\n That’s why Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) is encouraging fellow Members of Congress to sign a letter to House Speaker John Boehner asking him to pledge “No Conference” with the Senate.<\/p>\n Rep. Stockman’s letter requests that Speaker Boehner not bring up any immigration bills to the floor for a vote without “a commitment that the House will not conference House bills on immigration-related issues with a comprehensive or multi-issue bill from the Senate.” (Read Rep. Stockman’s full letter here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n
“Do whatever it takes to go to conference.”<\/h3>\n
