Last Republican in Bipartisan House Group on Immigration Working on a Bill of His Own
Would provide a path to citizenship
The only remaining Republican in what had begun as a bipartisan House group working on immigration says that he is crafting legislation that would provide a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants, a move likely not to sit well with some of his GOP colleagues.
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, of Florida, said he and several other Republicans are working on a measure that offers some of the nation's estimated 11 undocumented immigrants a way to "get right with the law," according to the Wall Street Journal.

It looks like the GOP can't wait to become the Whig party of the 21st century.

I don't know where all the others went, but if we are down to 11, I'd say the problem is solved.
