You forgot Newt, who betrayed you in Congress by deep sixing the Jordan Commission.

“You forgot Newt, who betrayed you in Congress by deep sixing the Jordan Commission.”

Newt has a history of betraying his conservative allies but I’d forgotten that one. Even Clinton supported the Jordan Commission proposals, but never underestimate the ability of open border Republicans to be as far Left as possible when it comes to immigration.

Barbara Jordan was a black Texas Democrat who was also a patriot. One of the great tragedies is that she died before she could rally some of her party of join with conservative Republicans to do something about the border.

“While she was Chair of the US Commission on Immigration Reform she argued that “it is both a right and a responsibility of a democratic society to manage immigration so that it serves the national interest.” Her stance on immigration is cited by opponents of current US immigration policy who cite her willingness to penalize employers who violate US immigration regulations, to tighten border security, and to oppose amnesty or any other pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants and to broaden the grounds for the deportation of legal immigrants.”
