… Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, who is in charge of writing the high-tech immigration reform bill in the House of Representatives, told us earlier this year that comprehensive immigration reform isn’t likely to happen until at least after the 2014 mid-term elections, because it’s too politically risky for Republicans to compromise on a bill that may have to have some path-to-citizenship provision.
To test Issa’s idea, TechCrunch conducted another one of our CrunchGov polls with Google Surveys, looking at whether citizens in a strongly Republican midwestern district would vote for a candidate who supported a bill that allowed undocumented immigrants to become citizens. CONT.
