\"test_capitol_jpg\"Last month at their annual retreat, House Republican leadership released its proposal for amnesty<\/a> legislation. The two-page proposal, remarkably similar to the Senate Gang of Eight’s outline<\/a> released ahead of their mass guest worker amnesty bill (S.744), is in the form of six \u201cprinciples\u201d to guide the GOP in fixing our \u201cbroken\u201d immigration system.<\/p>\n

The first component of the proposal is a large-scale amnesty for the 12 million illegal aliens currently in the United States.\u00a0In addition to this one-size-fits-all amnesty provision, the House GOP plan calls for a direct path to citizenship for so-called “DREAMers,\u201d and increases immigration to meet requests for cheaper labor by Big Business.<\/p>\n

To gauge where rank-and-file members stand on this proposal, the Capitol Hill newspaper CQ Roll Call <\/i>surveyed all Republican House Members and published the results this week. Notably, the paper found that only 19 House GOP Members openly supported the amnesty proposal, while 30 openly opposed them. In addition, 22 refused to say, 25 were undecided, and 131 simply refused to respond.<\/p>\n
