A bipartisan group of House negotiators said Thursday it has reached an “agreement in principle” on comprehensive immigration reform legislation.

“We have an agreement in principle,” Rep. John Carter (R-Tex.) said as he and five other members of the group emerged from a two-hour meeting late Thursday afternoon.

Hopefully they’ve agreed in principle to throw it in the trash.

Outstanding! The Republicans stood their ground..stayed faithful to the rule of law...and now every one of the 30 million wetbacks in the country will be sent packing.

They’ve come to a tentative agreement as to who will hold us down and who gets first dibs on the rape.

Is it just me, or does John Carter (Rino-TX) look like a pr**k?

Jim, Sadly the term RINO (Republican in name only) is no longer appropriate. I think these guys are Republicans through and through. The GOP is no longer the party of conservatives. It is the party of its leaders...Boehnor, McCain, Graham, Rove, Priebus, Romney...etc. The term RINO implies these guys are outliers of the party. I no longer think that’s the case.

Conservatives above party. Always.

We are becoming Brazil north already. Pass this Rubio-Amnsesty and it will happen much sooner. A nation with the rich and a vast poor. With small middle class

Situation normal. Most of the GOP is RINOs.

They only want our votes, not our principles.

The Dems in the “bipartisan group” will boast and claim credit for convincing the Republicans to go along with them on this destructive legislation. The sad thing is, that will largely be true.

Only one thing comforts me when I hear about the electeds selling us out.

Although deeply saddened and perhaps dropped to my knees in poverty and grief. I will NEVER feel the regret of having caused a Nation to fall-not like they will, if they have any conscience.

If I ever get the chance to turn these traitors down when they ask for a bite of bread....well, hell, I’ll give them the bread because that’s who I am, but not without pouring out my disdain first.

Unfortunately, that's almost the case now, if you lump RINOs with the dimocRATS!

RINO's worst enemy are conservatives (GOP conservatives, witness McLame to Ted Cruz!)

Conservatives MUST go for a KS "Clean Sweep" and wipe RINOs out during the 2014 Primaries, let Rove and other political traitors be damned!

Conservative GOPers know what they have with the dimocRATs but with RINOs, there's not an agreement worth believing as they'd just as soon sell out other GOPers than take a breath!

No townhalls, no communications with constituents, all behind closed doors.
