Woodward: 'Absurd' to pass unread immigration bill
World Net Daily ^ | June 23, 2013

Posted on 06/24/2013 6:13:19 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

(BREITBART) — Legendary Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward criticized the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill process, and the new rush to pass the repackaged bill with the amendment.

Woodward added that “when you pass complicated legislation and no one has really read the bill” then “the outcome is absurd.”

Worse than absurd, it's TREASON.

U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every state in the union a republican form of government,

AND SHALL PROTECT EACH OF THEM AGAINST INVASION."

Yes it’s treason.

Stop Amnesty.

Tell congressmen we don’t want ANY bill passed, no matter what they promise. This bill is Amnesty for 30 million illegals, and a 1000 page bill that brings in 80 million 3rd world immigrants. The bill will destroy the U.S. and will turn the USA into a socialist state as is the democrats/Obama’s plan.

Call all remaining GOP members of the US Congress to back the efforts of those fighting back.

Call and say “I am calling to ask Congress member ___________ to support Michele Bachman, Steve King, and Louie Gohmert’s effort to demand that Speaker John Boehner stop trying to help Obama and the Democrats pass amnesty for illegal aliens. Please sign their petition to require the Speaker to honor the ‘Hastert Rule’! If the Senate passes an amnesty for illegal aliens, it will be important that the House refuses to pass any immigration legislation in 2013! Stop the amnesty legislation!”

It’s “We’ve got to pass it to see what’s in it” again. Or as my generation was taught “Buying a pig in a poke”.

democrats will import 80 million new democrat voters from the 3rd world so they democrats/Obama can turn the USA into a socialist state.

This is their plan to end the United States and so to end freedom in the world forever. Democrats just couldn’t stand it that for the first time people set up a government by the people where people were free ,and so democrats have to destroy it. This is a plan to make slaves of all of us forever.

Yeah, he’s on my side here... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Woodward added that “when you pass complicated legislation and no one has really read the bill” then “the outcome is absurd.”

Example :Obama-care

Alternatively if time is left to read it it wont get passed, and NOT passing SOMETHING ANYTHING (that Obama will sign) is not defined as ‘governing’ by the elites and lib media.

To them the farm billing going down is a sign of disfunction. Tax, spend, borrow, regulate, take away, give,. that is ‘governing’

A few months of hearings are in order, as well.

Seriously, we have become such a stupid country it makes me cry.

"“We’ve got to pass it to see what’s in it”

I'm not really sure why we have to pay people to do this....When congresscritters push the voting button without reviewing the legislation, it should automatically trigger a recall election for their seat as part of Federal Law.

“”traitors, the whole lot.””

And we’re supposed to get excited or incensed over Snowden and his revelations? I consider everyone in the Senate and House of Representatives, the White House, the administration, and the courts all traitors! Anyone who has taken an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution has betrayed this country. Sad to say this would include certain members of the military officer corps in today’s military.

The bill gives Amnesty to 30 million illegals .tben those new citizens can bring in their extended family from the 3rd world( 50 million more immigrants).

They can use these new democrat voters to install a socialist state and so end freedom. And they do this on the 4th of July when freedom was born.

The Senators are trying to stick a knife into Americans on the 4th of July<

Agreed. The message needs to be clear too. My message to my congressman was simple. He needs to not only vote no, but since he voted for boehner and this leadership team, he will be held accountable for their actions too. The house GOP caucus must pressure the leadership to act on correctly. If the leadership allows amnesty, I am staying home in 2014. It will be a wipeout election. Coming home and saying ‘I voted no, too bad it passed’ is not good enough.

My senator is Rubio, so I also made my point clear with his office. The house is our only real option on this though, because the Reid senate plus 5 moronic republicans is all but a sure thing in the senate.

We need Bob Woodward to validate that this is insane? Any common, decent, law-abiding American knows that this is wrong and wholly unacceptable.

What I find discomforting is that somehow we seek succor from guys like Bob Woodward when we all know this is wrong.

Our idiots have fallen for the nutty line about “We’ve got to do something!!!”. That’s stupid.

OK, let’s shoot small innocent animals... I mean that’s ‘doing something’ right? And it makes as much sense as passing this bill.
