FL: Repub Legislature nixes e-verify.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Good commentary below:

Was illegal immigration a top issue for you in last year's campaign?

<snip>
If so, you got played for a fool.

Because, with one day left in the session, the legislature hasn't done squat on immigration reform.

And here's the reality: Most lawmakers never planned to, either. Their corporate masters wouldn't allow it.

1. The last paragraph pretty much says it all...

"Sure, these guys found time to try to reshape everything from Medicaid to the Florida Supreme Court. But they just couldn't wrap their little minds around passing a simple piece of legislation meant to enforce laws that are already on the books."

2. I try to find reason in the things they do, and I don't see it.

Unless allowing their racist minions to get riled up about immigration is their goal. But, with this move, they can't blame it on the Dems anymore.

3. They always talk a good game.

But when it comes down to getting something positive accomplished, don't expect anything to happen.

Their own greedy personal interests are always taken care of first.
