Comprehensive Immigration Reform Unlikely to Pass GOP
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama revisited a key campaign promise when he hosted a White House meeting of elected officials and experts on immigration. But if a major overhaul of the nation's immigration policy is his goal, Republicans in Congress say he shouldn't hold his breath. They say any bill that even hints at amnesty or legalization for millions of illegal immigrants already living and working in the United States is dead before it ever makes an appearance in a congressional committee. A path to citizenship is "what has doomed all immigration legislation in the last two ...
House Set to Vote on $6 Trillion Spending Cut Plan
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- A bold but politically risky plan to cut trillions of dollars from the federal budget steamed toward a party-line House vote Friday, as insurgent Republicans rallied behind the idea of fundamentally reshaping the government's role in health care for the elderly and the poor. The GOP plan proposes a federal budget totaling $3/5 trillion next year, while promising more than $6 trillion in accumulated spending cuts over the next decade compared with the budget that President Barack Obama offered in February.

Olivier Douliery, Abaca Press / MCT Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is expected to enter the race for the GOP presidential nomination later the month. Here, he ...
GOP Appears Poised to Take On Entitlements
By not in system - AOL NewsCORAL SPRINGS, Fla. -- If there's any place where tea partiers in Congress might hesitate to call for cuts in Social Security and Medicare to shrink the federal debt, Florida's retirement havens should top the list. Even here, however, Republican lawmakers are racing toward a spending showdown with Democrats exhibiting little nervousness about deep cuts, including those that eventually would hit benefit programs long left alone by politicians. In fact, many GOP freshmen seem bolder than ever. It's Democrats, especially in the Senate, who are trying to figure out how to handle the popular but ...
GOP Presidential Hopefuls Hammer Health Care
By not in system - AOL NewsDES MOINES, Iowa - A handful of high-profile Republicans who may be eyeing the White House told hundreds of conservative activists Saturday that most Americans agree with their values, and insisted that opposition to the president's health care overhaul could help the GOP make historic gains in 2012. Rep. Michele Bachmann, a tea party favorite, got the noisiest reception when she told about 500 people gathered in Des Moines that voters are ready to overturn the federal health care law and oust President Barack Obama during next year's election. Charlie Neibergall, AP Rep. Michele ...
