As cynical/ frightened House Republicans hope to forestall immigration reform until after the 2014 mid-term elections, calls are increasing for Democrats to use a discharge petition to force a vote on the bipartisan Senate immigration bill.  As has been noted, the Republican caucus is more delusional than irrational, which means pushing the issue hard and hammering them on the overwhelming public support for reform is a possible way of getting their caucus to break and for reform to get a vote this year.
