Those 70 Congress members who had that chat last week with Boehner need to make clear to him they will bolt the GOP if that bill isn’t immediately killed.

When does the GOP lie and show it to be WORTHLESS?

==> Always.

The same miserable party that imposed RomneyCARE on
the USA.

America will abandon THEM to the knife of the

Ambassador Stevens were DESERTED.

Yesterday, it looked like the S. 744 amnesty was going to fall short of 60 votes.

But this morning, two Republican Senators from Tennessee and one from North Dakota are trying to save the amnesty with an amendment designed to look like it fixes the enforcement problems of the bill, but it really is just a fake-out.

We have to make sure the fence-sitting Senators know that the public won’t be fooled by a watered down amendment that throws a little more money at border security but leaves most of the loopholes in place and still gives the amnesty work permits and legalization before any enforcement happens at all.

This would allow a third to half of Mexico to eventually qualify to *#*! colonize the US...

Its as if there is a large heavily armed invasion army pining to conquer their neighbor, and the defender country's leaders make a unilateral "peace" deal: The large heavily armed invader can ALL enter, with the one proviso that they do so unarmed. Would there be any difference with the scenario of this Amnesty bill, other than that the large heavily armed invader is ALREADY present, albeit unarmed?

Armed with bean bag guns, told to not apprehend anyone and if they do, it is catch and release, and told to stand guard at selected fixed posts with no ability to respond to any situtation within eyesight.

Our maginot line of border security.

"...After days of intensive negotiations, a small group of senators had hit upon a compromise that was being floated more broadly in order to gauge support, Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee told reporters.

...A Republican demand that the Obama administration achieve a 90 percent success rate in stopping illegal border crossings as a condition for the pathway to citizenship was "not a sticking point anymore," Corker said. He would not elaborate.

Democrats have pressed hard to prevent such a link."...

AWESOME!!!! THEY’RE GONNA SECURE THE BORDER!

Just like the law they passed in 1986.

The question is, is there anyone stupid enough to believe it???

They won’t even enforce the CURRENT law, what makes anyone think this one would be enforced?

the agreement will include a major border build up, with a huge increase in border personnel and an increase in fencing.

So, I guess the OblameA administration will have to sue Texas.....just like they're doing to Arizona

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!

“They intend to flood the nation with millions of people who have hopped the turnstyle”

People who will not only be eligible for state welfare benefits immmediately, but will also be exempt from the obamacare penalty as a result of this AMNESTY. AMERICAN workers will be displaced and supplanted by law-breaking border jumpers. The U.S. will go blue, and then it will go bankrupt. Rubio, the Gang of Eight, and all supporters of this bill are traitors, and any average American voting for anyone who supports this bill is a fool.

Then twenty years down the path about to be taken, each one left alive can probably prepare for another announcement. Those announcement thingies remind everyone nobody in government is anything other than trustworthy. Well after the after effects anyways.

“Bolster Border Security” does NOT equal “Build the fence and control/follow-up on Visas”.

It is a slick, slippery phrase put out by politicians.

It’s in the details. Yesterday, I wrote my congressman and my Senator and said “build the fence and control the visas.” Period. (Portman, the senator with any hope of listening.)

The idea that the current crop of weak willed, spineless jellyfish we call Congress - the same ones pandering for the illegal immigrant vote - will all of a sudden actually become tough on border security is laughable.

Tell me - does this sound right:

Words: WE WILL MAKE THE BORDER SECURE, OH YES SIREE! NO ONE IN OR OUT WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE! :: pounding on the desk, looking very serious ::

Actions: << This space left intentionally blank >>

Sickening.

You say “they don’t get the job done”

I ask “What job do you think they’re TRYING to get done”?

Gang of eight...BRAVO SIERRA. I do not believe a single word that comes out of any of your mouths. You are all hopelessly compromised...especially the GOP members.
