Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) backed down from a previous promise his spokeswoman made to Breitbart News that he would consider voting in favor of amendments to the Senate's immigration bill that would close a loophole allowing illegal immigrants immediate access to state and local welfare.

They must be blackmailed. Somebody has got to have photos of him with little boys somewhere, in exchange for votes to ruin this (once) great country. :-(

We saw this coming after both 2008 AND 2012, tried to warn and got criticized as ‘purists’ for it....

Wonder if they STILL feel the same about us ‘purists’..

Well FR’s fanboys are still screaming up a storm. Had 4 just today throw their usual tantrums. Boy they sure do swear a lot. ;)

Admitting they were wrong is not on the agenda. It’s very much ‘our’ fault with our evil purity.

We used to only allow the best and the brightest, those who could work
and support themselves. Those who spoke English and loved our Country.

Now we have leaders who want to import the downtrodden, the poor, the users.

WTF are they teaching our leaders in college!

Rubio’s willful misrepresentations of what is in it

He's been French kissing Pelosi in the cloak room.

My "good" Senator, Ted Cruz, introduced an amendment to exempt these future Dem voters from receiving ANY state or local welfare as is done fro Federal benefits. It was defeated, of course. He siad leaving state and local welfare autorization in the bill would cause the bill to fall in the House of Reps. I believe that. It is my own opinion though, the feds cannot mandate that these illegals be given welfare by teh states. States can simply pass a law prohibiting any "provisional" immigrant from receiving state tax dollars. That will drive all these illegals to "welfare" states. Let them have them!

How long is it going to take before Republicans understand that illegal immigrants are ALREADY eligible for welfare in many states?

Here in Washington state, we do NOT require proof of legal residence in the USA when people apply for Food Stamps, heating assistance, rent subsidies, Earned Income Tax Credit, regular unemployment, emergency extended unemployment, or Medicaid for children and pregnant women.

The online TANF application does ask for proof of legal residency, but I have no idea if that is enforced.

Does any Republican seriously believe that the MSM and the Democrat Party and the RINO’s are going to DENY benefits to the 11.5 million Amnesty immigrants AFTER they become LEGAL?

Justice? It’ll never happen.

and if by “chance” he does get impeached, he’ll stay in office.

i am predicting an huge catastrophe, WW3 or such, where he will get a few more terms.

but even then, you can bet if there is a R president next, no matter what, there will be thousands of pardons for this administration.

it is gerrymandered. the deals have already been forged.

Pardon the dems and we’ll give you the next senate, blah blah balh.

at least the R’s think so, but time and time again, Lucy pulls the ball away and the promises are empty.

we run Doles, and Romneys, because the R’s are promised by the dems, “ok, give us this one, and we’ll give you the next one”, but man, they yank that football out so fast, we are left sitting on our backs.

It aint gonna change. R is the party of stupid and naive.

A good number of illegals have self-deported in the last few years because there are no jobs in this Obama economy. Many of the ones that remain are here for the freebies. If our lawmakers would only wise up - pipe dream, I know - and remove the incentives for them coming here, even more of them would self-deport (or not come here in the 1st place).

Take away the welfare, free education, health care, food stamps, voting rights, etc., and we wouldn't have to worry about the near-impossible task of rounding up all of the illegals to send them back. They'd be heading back from whence they came on their own.
