Crossroads GPS, an advocacy group backed by Karl Rove, former senior adviser to George W. Bush, is launching a $100,000 ad campaign urging conservatives to support an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws.

The full-page print ad is signed by 53 business leaders and Republicans, including former Republican National Committee Chairman Edward Gillespie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Rove. It's the first ad the group has run on immigration this year.

The fix is in. Boner has already said the House will pass Amnesty before the Summer recess.

Earlier, it looked like Jeb Bush was going to run to Rubio’s right on this issue, to prepare for 2016. Now, he’s signing on. I guess he isn’t running.

Rove didn’t help win the last election. I’ve never heard of most of the people on the list, and I ones I know are retired. Rove’s influence belongs to yesterday, so I don’t think the bill is a done deal.

Big money talks on this issue and it wants “immigration reform” and a “conservative solution” and it wants it now.

This just makes people angry and cynical about supporting the GOP.

Our local members may vote against it, but they’ll still vote to keep guys like Boehner in charge which tells us the truth about them.

They too are RINO’s who will vote NO on some issues when the RINO leaders have to votes for YES to pass so they look good for folks back home and can beat a conservative challenger in a primary.

NO MORE VOTES FOR THE RINO’S WHO SUPPORTED BOEHNER AS THEIR LEADER.

In fact the entire Republican leadership can join them.

Obama has scandal after scandal after scandal and the Repubs are in a stupor. Hardly any reaction from the “leadership”, no direction.

“Scandal fatigue” worked for Clinton and with the race card firmly in hand, Baraq knows he’s untouchable.

There is already a frequent commercial on several of the radio stations (including the “conservative talk programs”) that... appeals openly to “conservatives” to support an amnesty bill....
it is deceptively worded but if you listen carefully you can still pick up the intent
NONE of the conservative talk shows discuss these ads (I think they would dismiss the topic if it ever got by their call screeners.. by saying something like “well, I don’t get to select the advertisers on my program.”

At any event, Rove is wasting his money. Someone with far, far more dineros than Rove ever imagined in his wildest wet dream.. is already drowning (so to speak) the airwaves with pro-amnesty ads. Karl, save your money.

The fix is in. Boner has already said the House will pass Amnesty before the Summer recess.

Boehner has also said that he will follow "regular order" and would rely on Bob Goodlatte's Judiciary committee to offer their Immigration proposals.

In turn, Goodlatte has said that his committee will offer a series of bills that start with securing the border before the status of illegals is addressed.

That doesn't sound like a "fix" to me...

Who says we need “immigration reform”? Enforce existing law.

If we don’t enforce existing law then how could we possibly know what any problems are?

How about Comprehensive Enforcement.

Boner’s Math:

200 Democrats + 18 RINOS = AMNESTY

My congressman has always been a firm “No” vote on amnesty.
