    There will be no bill before Congress requiring immigrants be fluent in English.

    Your own previous predictions cast doubt on your claims.

    $50 says the final bill voted on by the House and Senate does not require new immigrants be fluent in English.

    Lovely sentiment, written by a lovely lady I'm sure. It's not immigration policy though ...

    I like many of the ideas being floated in this bill. Unfortunately, if we want to make English the official language, that will require a constitutional amendment. I do not see that happening anytime soon.

    What you meant to say was "I earned mine and the rest of you can earn yours, too."

    I guess you missed the part where I say the GOP is starting to distance themselves from Trump. This isn't "fake news" or "alternative facts." And they have been vocal about it.

    Which means a lot of immigrants won't even be able to tell you're betting $50 on the bill unless it's translated.

    No. I meant what I've said. It's very condescending you to think that your grandparents can do it yet somehow legal immigrants are now leeches. I can imagine conservatives in those days hated your grandparents and called them leeches as well.

    The Don can do a lot without Congress. Immigration is a policy and many actions can be taken unilaterally regarding visas, types of visas issued, number of annual visas, etc. Those decisions are not written into law.
