“We will add 1 border guard for every estimated 3,000 illegals that invade our country” how can you argue with that?

Great. Secure the border. Build the fence, stop the invasion and then we can talk about "immigration reform." ANYTHING ELSE IS BULL****. We fell for this crap once before. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on ME!

The GOOBers better not fall for this a second time. "Agreements" are just like New Year's resolutions. They are made to be broken.

“Gang of Eight” senators will announce an agreement to strengthen border security." Yeah, sure. "What’s going to happen in the next few weeks, possibly by July 4th, the Senate will pass the amnesty bill. At the same time the House is going to pass a Trojan horse bill that will sound good and that will secure the borders. The problem with that is they’re both going to be sent to conference committee, where amnesty is going to be added to the Trojan horse bill. The Senate will vote yes on final passage and send it to the House. Led by Nancy Pelosi, the House Democrats will ALL vote for the bill because it will assure permanent Democratic political majority, and a few Republican committee chairs will provide the final votes needed for passage. That way the president will have amnesty for illegals and the country will be fast‑tracked to permanent progressivism." Take your "agreement" and hang onto your butts when the next election comes. Trash WILL be taken out.

And you can thank BOEHNER. He views his role as collecting votes for Obama. And the sht for brains Repubs put him back in as Speaker.

I changed my party affiliation last week. Sick of these clowns. They don’t get the job done.

That may have been a bit harsh but really, immigration is the #1 issue?

F&F, AP, IRS, NSA, Benghazi... any one of which are serious crimes by themselves warranting investigation and punishment. Any one of these is political gold. The moribund Repubs don’t do a thing about any of them. Instead they focus on advancing Obama/Democrat agenda: “immigration reform”, which is nothing but amnesty.

So actually, I wasn’t harsh enough. Not by a mile.

More from the article. (More lies!)

A second capitol hill source tells ABC News the agreement will include a major border build up, with a huge increase in border personnel and an increase in fencing. The change will mean the legislation will deliver the 70 votes desired by the bipartisan group.

They’ve already showed their hand. They intend to flood the nation with millions of people who have hopped the turnstyle and thumbed their noses at one of the most sacred institutions that forms the backbone of a nation... border security and customs enforcement. They are just trying to figure out what flavor candy coating to put on this monstrously destructive legislation.

if whatever it does doesn’t happen before “legalization” (amnesty), it can’t work.

Reminder

Marco Rubio, 2009

“I am strongly against amnesty. The most important thing we need to do is enforce our existing laws.

We have existing immigration laws that are not being adequately enforced.

Nothing will make it harder to enforce the existing laws, if you reward people who broke them.

It demoralizes people who are going through the legal process, its a very clear signal of why go through the legal process, if you can accomplish the same thing if you go through the illegal process.

And number two, if demoralizes the people enforcing the laws.

I am not, and I will never support any effort to grant blanket legalization/amnesty to folks who have entered, stayed in this country illegally.”

H/T right scoop

Can someone with contacts in the NSA put out a search for all the freepers last year who defended Perry’s no fence bs and argued about what a bad idea it was? They seem to be missing from these immigration/ocho threads.

This crap is WHY a physical fence must be built. Lib pols can and do play games with semantics on security. A fence is THERE and once built, will never be undone.

We have so many issues to deal with like this government's prosecutable overreaches aimed at the citizens, now journalists, whistleblowers and all others which seem to be designed to silence efforts to go up against this same government. Now, we are here with these liars playing games to destroy this great country forever. I see it as the wealthy becomes wealthier. The middle class will be destroyed. Class warfare like we've never seen. Terrorists coming across the border. Legal immigrants are being punished. All is good.

The Dems told Reagan a fence would be built in exchange for his Amnesty for illegals, too.. Still waiting for them to make good on their 25+ year old promise!

I see this as a coordinated two pronged attack.

The objective of the “immigration reform” prong is to regularize illegal aliens. In order to obtain this objective a token move to control the borders & ports may be offered. This token is a sop to buy votes. It will be weak, partial, temporary, virtual, and in the future. Watch for requirements to be pushed down to a commission or other administrative body rather than specified in law.

The second prong is the attack on citizenship verification. The Supreme Court just struck Arizona’s voting registration citizenship verification requirements.

States are already giving Driver Licenses to illegal aliens. This will only become more widespread and “acceptable” as a result of amnesty.

These two prongs work together to enable foreigners to register to vote and on election day produce a state issued photo-id (Driver License) and cast votes.

A vote can not be undone.

When foreigners control your government you are conquered.

Rather than control who enters the country everyone will be admitted and a Rube Goldberg process of tracking will be instituted.

Rather than control who registers to vote everyone will be registered and admitted to the process, the onus on the State to determine who is illegally registered while the State is barred from obtaining information from the applicant.

Common sense: Control the point of entry - to the country and the voting process - rather than backstop it after the fact.

A huge Border Patrol with no authority to stop them from coming over the border.

Aside from F&F, AP, IRS, NSA, Benghazi, Obama is openly planning on arming Al Qaeda in Syria.

Obama is openly planning on arming Al Qaeda.

And the first priority of The Speaker Of The House is amnesty?

There is something very very wrong in DC.

Very very wrong.
