Boehner says bipartisan group 'basically' has deal on immigration reform (Amnesty = Done Deal)
The Hill ^ | 1/27/13 | Russell Berman

Posted on 01/27/2013 5:38:54 AM PST by jimbo123

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is voicing confidence in the prospects for immigration reform in the House, saying that a bipartisan group of lawmakers “basically [has] an agreement” after more than three years of secret talks.

-snip-

Obama is preparing to launch a major push for comprehensive immigration reform with a speech in Las Vegas next week. Much of the spotlight has focused on the Senate, where a bipartisan group is reportedly close to announcing an agreement on basic principles for an overhaul of the system. That group now includes Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a potential presidential contender who laid out his principles for reform in the Wall Street Journal earlier this month.

Another potential White House aspirant, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), quickly signed on to Rubio’s outline.

Does Boehner really think that this will help the Republican Party win over Hispanic voters? The Democrat talking point will be: “we passed immigration reform over the objections of the Repuiblicans. If you vote for them, they will strip away the gains we’ve made.”

I think Boehner is WORSE than Obama. At least Obama lets us know whose side he’s on. Boehner is a Quisling.

I'm not sure what that clown is thinking. All I know is that Obama is going to Las Vegas for a pre-amnesty victory lap next week and it's disgusting that he's going there with Boner and McConnell's balls in his pocket.

It helps the democrats get welfare votes, I understand this, but what do republicans get out of this?

Stop asking rational questions! It is our destiny to be enslaved by the invaders from the south, amigo. IF this amnesty thing goes through, the demographics will ensure democrat majorities as far as the eye can see. What the idiot democrat politicians do not understand is that their jobs are on the line.

Example: John Smith, a democrat, wins an election where the republicans always won. He won due to the sudden shift in voting demographics brought by amnesty. Hurrah for the democrats. Next election, John Smith loses in the primary to Juan Ortiz-Rodriguez-Sanchez and Juan wins the general election. Oops! And corruption? John Smith and friends ain't seen nothing yet. Political corruption south of the border is a way of life. And Juan? He is pushing for another amnesty bill that will allow MORE of his amigos to loot the treasury and displace the idiots who call themselves Americans.

Do you think he has just barely the 18 Rinos needed? Or well over that number?

In other words, these morons have effectively made their own party (and power) obsolete.

Let them sign the country’s death warrant. I absolutely refuse to take the part of any candidate who promotes this.

I would guess Boner has about 35-40 RINO votes for Amnesty.

Well, isn't that special?!?

"The [immigration] bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It
will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the
standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose
their jobs."
            - Ted Kennedy, 1965

"This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal
aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again
bring forward another amnesty bill like this."
            - Ted Kennedy, 1986

"Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken
system."
            - Ted Kennedy, 2007

This usual psych ops PR campaign by the amnesty crowd using the leftist Wing media groups like “the hill” which
Peddled amnesty non stop in 2005 too !

Boner will lose the house in 2014 just like 2006!
And the GOP will be dead
For good .

I warned all the gun grabbing was a snake screen for amnesty which was the real agenda here !

Corporate $$$. As much as some on FR idealize big business, corporations care only about the bottom line. Cheap labor =’s cash in their pocket. And they’ll support any and every GOP candidate that gives it to them.

Ah, so Bonehead has a bill that has more Dim support than Pubbie support? Why does this not surprise me? Why do we need this clown?

Bonehead becomes a bigger joke with each passing day.

Waiting for the "but, it's a brilliant trick/strategy on Bonehead's part"... comments.

almost no good-paying jobs and they are going to do this?

The Federal Government has tons of GREAT paying jobs and is hiring like crazy.

Most of the jobs start at 70-80 grand and top out in the mid 6 figures.

You just have to be a woman, homosexual, minority or a communist to get one.

Why again do we have a Congress? It seems everything these days are secret, small-group, back-room deals that are never debated in the light of day?

Where again is the leadership with the 3 day rule? Hell, this administration with the ‘most transparency ever’?

How about writing up what other laws I, as a Citizen, can get away, if only given a certain amount of time while still flaunting having broken said law? Do those that followed the law get some kind of dispensation for, like a dog, jumping through the legal hurdles?

Boy, I can’t wait until ‘14, when those current tight-lipped come back out of the woodwork screaming “We HAVE to vote for the GOPe selected, otherwise, it’s a vote for XYZ”
