\nNote to Senator Isakson: That is because we never in a million years could have dreamed you would even consider helping Rubio and Obama legalize the illegal aliens. We didn’t get it that you thought we had forgotten 1986, Senator.We never thought you would help with another amnesty, Senator. We never thought you didn’t understand that after the amnesty you try to label as “not amnesty” was complete, the new ‘gimme’ voters would vote for big government Obama Democrats. THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP SENATOR! We can hear you now!<\/p>\n

Isakson predicts immigration reform will win approval <\/strong><\/p>\n

Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson is predicting the federal government will reform its immigration rules by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

I do feel immigration will probably be dealt with as long as [the solution] doesn\u2019t provide amnesty,\u201d Isakson, a Republican, told members of the Sandy Springs\/Perimeter Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 11.<\/p>\n

The senator chatted with chamber members over coffee and pastries at the United Parcel Service office in Sandy Springs. He addressed about 50 local business leaders attending the inaugural gathering of the chamber\u2019s Chairman\u2019s Circle.<\/p>\n

Isakson said public outcry shouted down efforts to try reform immigration rules five years ago. But a similar outcry has not been stirred by talk of reform now.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive years ago, all hell broke loose,\u201d he said. \u201cThis year, I thought phones would ring off the hook again. They really haven\u2019t. I think everybody realizes we have a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Georgia, speaks to members of the Sandy Springs\/Perimeter Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 11.
\nOne big problem, he said, a cap on the number of highly educated immigrants given work visas. This year, the number of applicants reached the cap in early January, he said. Immigrant engineers graduating Georgia Tech, he said, receive two pieces of paper \u2013 a diploma and a deportation order.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur system is pretty screwed up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Isakson said this year would be \u201cthe year of cliffs\u201d in Congress. Congress has dealt with the first \u201cfiscal cliff\u201d in January, he said, but faces three more budgetary crises by the end of the year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
