Hastert said hearings on the Senate bill should be held before appointing anyone to a House-Senate committee to negotiate a compromise immigration bill. Later, he said he was unsure what the House's next move would be.
"We're going to take a long look at it," Hastert said late Tuesday.
House Majority Leader John Boehner agreed. "I think we should know clearly what's in the Senate bill," Boehner said. But he added there are lots of ways to understand its contents."
This is the ammnesty bill out of the senate. If the conservative force in the house is strong enough, we may not have to live with ammnesty for 11 million felons. I hope they do not reach a compromise, I hope that the house bill becomes law. The only way to deal with criminals is do punish them, and ammnesty is not punishment.

Is it such a bad idea to let those people off the hook? Some of them have been living in the USA a long time with their families. It could be very hard on their families (and their employers) to kick them out.

There criminals. If they wanted to come with their families and make a decent living, they should have come legally. You can be much more succesful as a legal immigrant then as a criminal.
In order to get a job, many have forged or stolen social security numbers. They don't pay any taxes aside from sales tax, because they are illegal. However, they do recieve welfare because we are such a generous nation with other peoples money.
The ammount of time that has taken place after a crime is commited makes no difference in the administration of justice. If you broke the law, then you suffer the consequences. They have broken the law, and should suffer the consequences, i.e. deportation, or if they have commited other crimes, a prison sentance.
