House Republicans will take on the immigration issue in bite-size pieces,
shunning pressure to act quickly and rejecting the comprehensive approach
embraced in the Senate, a key committee chairman said Thursday.House Judiciary
Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., declined to commit to finishing
immigration legislation this year, as President Obama and a bipartisan group
in the Senate want to do. He said bills on an agriculture
worker program and workplace enforcement would come first, and he said there'd
been no decision on how to deal with legalization or a possible
path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants living here
illegally, a centerpiece of a new bipartisan bill in the Senate."It is
not whether you do it fast or slow, it is that you
get it right that's most important," Goodlatte said at a press conference
to announce the way forward on immigration in the House.He said that
while he hopes to produce a bill this year, "I'm going to
be very cautious about setting any kind of arbitrary limits on when
this has to be done."The approach Goodlatte sketched out was not a
surprise, but it was a sign of the obstacles ahead of congressional
passage of the kind of far-reaching immigration legislation sought by Obama
and introduced last week in the Senate by four Republican and four
Democratic lawmakers. Many in the conservative-led House don't have the
appetite for a single, big bill on immigration, especially not one th

that is "roughly 1,000 rounds more per person.""Their officers use what
seems to be an exorbitant amount of ammunition," he said.Nick Nayak, chief
procurement officer for the Department of Homeland Security, did not challenge
Chaffetz's numbers.However, Nayak sought to counter what he described as
several misconceptions about the bullet buys.Despite reports that the department
was trying to buy up to 1.6 billion rounds over five years,
he said that is not true. He later clarified that the number
is closer to 750 million.He said the department, on average, buys roughly
100 million rounds per year.He also said claims that the department is
stockpiling ammo are "simply not true." Further, he countered claims that
the purchases are helping create broader ammunition shortages in the U.S.The
department has long said it needs the bullets for agents in training
and on duty, and buys in bulk to save money.While Democrats likened
concerns about the purchases to conspiracy theories, Republicans raised
concern about the sheer cost of the ammunition."This is not about conspiracy
theories, this is about good government," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said.Rep.
Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who chairs the full Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, said he suspects rounds are being stockpiled, and then either
"disposed of," passed to non-federal agencies, o
