GOP's Bob Goodlatte: 'No Reason' Not to Give Illegal
Immigrants Amnesty

Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which oversees immigration legislation,
reportedly said on Thursday that he sees "no reason" why illegal
immigrants should not be granted amnesty.
“If we can have a way to get
[enforcement] up and operating, I see no reason why we can’t also have an
agreement that shows how people who are not lawfully here can be able to be
lawfully here – able to live here, work here, travel to and from their home
country, be able to own a business, pay their taxes,” Goodlatte reportedly said
in an interview with Telumundo that will air on Sunday, according to Politico.
In an interview with Telemundo's
“Enfoque" program, Goodlatte said House Republican leaders were drafting
"immigration principles"
that will try to "galvanize" support for immigration reform. House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) top amnesty adviser, Rebecca Tallent, is
reportedly leading the effort to draft these "immigration
principles."
Though House Republican leaders
have said they will not go to conference on the exact Senate bill, which the
Congressional Budget Office determined would lower the wages of American
workers, they have left open the possibility of going to conference on piecemeal
bills. President Barack Obama and Democrats have said they would be fine with
comprehensive immigration reform being broken up into pieces so long as all of
the pieces pass.
And Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL),
who has said that his "Republican friends" want comprehensive
immigration reform in everything but name only, said that Goodlatte was working
on immigration legislation with the explicit intent of going to conference,
where amnesty proponents and opponents have said that a pathway to citizenship provision
would prevail.
