Say No to Amnesty! How Dennis Hastert Plays Politics.

Tell them you want a long look.

Just in....Dennis Hastert to the rescue! The Speaker of the house made it clear that he wanted to take a "long look" at the Senate Immigration Bill.

Finally, the leadership's politics in the House are on par with the American people. I think it's about time that the conservatives came together to say no to the Senate's run of a muck immigration bill. I previously posted about the problems with this bill and I applaud the conservative leadership in the House for their initiative to take a detailed look at what is in the Senate's bill.

Hopes for a quick deal on an immigration bill were dealt a blow yesterday after House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert said he wanted to take a "long look" at a Senate bill offering potential citizenship to millions of illegal aliens.
Mr. Hastert, Illinois Republican, said hearings on the Senate bill should be held before appointing anyone to a House-Senate committee to negotiate the differences between the two chambers' bills. Later, he said he was unsure what the House's next move would be.
"We're going to take a long look at it," Mr. Hastert said last night.
House Majority Leader John A. Boehner agreed. "I think we should know clearly what's in the Senate bill," the Ohio Republican said, adding that there are many ways to understand its contents.
