I believe comprehensive immigration reform will eventually pass the Senate without the unconditional support of Marco Rubio who is triangulating for 2016, but I have zero confidence that it will pass the House.
House Republicans have already announced their intention to ditch comprehensive reform in favor of piecemeal legislation, but I don’t believe the total sum of their piecemeal approach will be equivalent to the Senate’s comprehensive bill. And I suspect that’s the point. It will be easier to water it down in small parts.
