Yes, the head of the RNC is more concerned about protecting the party’s Hispanic vote-pandering campaign than protecting law-abiding citizens from the devastating consequences of illegal immigration.
At the RNC’s annual summer meeting in Boston, Priebus complained that openly advocating self-deportation policies during last year’s election season was “horrific” and that rule-of-law rhetoric “hurts us.” Yes, really.
So is it OK to discuss during off-year election cycles? Leap years? Weekends? Holidays? Can the GOP sensitivity police let us in on their approved immigration discussion calendar?
Priebus has yet to explain what exactly is “horrific” about telling foreign rule-breakers that they shouldn’t wait for the government to eject them, and that the right thing for them to do would be to abide by our laws and go home on their own. This is an exceedingly and ridiculously polite policy suggestion, given how most other countries treat illegal line-jumpers, border-crossers, visa overstayers and deportation fugitives.
But Priebus treats the idea as if it were an international human rights violation.
Tellingly, the RNC chair has no response to the families of all races, classes and creeds who have raised their voices against America’s perilous deportation abyss, systematic non-enforcement and coddling of illegal alien DREAMers who have wreaked violence and havoc on their lives.
The relatives of murdered Los Angeles teen Jamiel Shaw posed a question to Priebus on Twitter after the RNC chair’s remarks at the GOP event last week touting minority outreach and diversity: “How many Americans Have U Talked To Whose Kids were Killed by illegals?”
Priebus has not answered.
As I first reported in 2008, 17-year-old Jamiel was gunned down by 19-year-old illegal alien Mexican gang member Pedro Espinoza. Young Espinoza was smuggled into the U.S. illegally when he was a toddler, just like all of the DREAMers the open-borders propagandists are always extolling in sweeping terms.
One day after he was released from jail for serving time for assault with a deadly weapon, this known illegal alien gang-banger was back on the streets. The feds failed to deport him. Local authorities failed to detain him. Espinoza celebrated his freedom by shooting star student athlete Jamiel execution-style in the head for carrying a red Spider-Man backpack, which the Latino 18th Street Gang thug mistook for gang colors. Jamiel’s mother, Army Sgt. Anita Shaw, had to travel home from serving in Iraq on her second tour of duty to join her family in burying her son.
Illegal alien teen killer Espinoza was sentenced to death last fall. Grieving parents Anita and Jamiel Sr. and their loved ones have valiantly kept Jamiel’s memory alive by supporting efforts to repeal dangerous illegal alien sanctuary laws, spotlighting lapses in detention and deportation policy, calling attention to violent illegal alien gangs targeting blacks in L.A, and opposing reckless bipartisan amnesty proposals.
As Mr. Shaw told Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle: “Just because you were brought here under no fault of your own doesn’t mean you give amnesty to everybody.” Amen. And instead of phony promises of enforcement later for blanket amnesty now, we need immediate reform of our bloodstained, loophole-ridden, under-funded and systemically sabotaged criminal alien detention and deportation system. Pronto.
Jamiel Shaw’s family members are vigilant community organizers against illegal immigration. But their activism will never be hailed by Hollywood, The New York Times op-ed page, the White House or the RNC’s elitist open-borders outreach panderers. Mr. Shaw, who testified at a House GOP panel hearing on the horrific consequences of our failed deportation policies earlier this summer, warns astutely that Republicans are “up to something” as they prepare to cut deals with open-borders Democrats in conference.
I think he’s right. I also believe it’s no coincidence that the RNC is now publicly marginalizing those who dare to challenge the rose-colored DREAMer propaganda of McCain-Graham-Rubio-Ryan-Mark Zuckerberg-La Raza — just as the forces of Amnesty Incorporated conspire behind closed doors.
Question: Why won’t Priebus acknowledge the horrific suffering of the Shaws and countless other families who have been harmed by illegal alien nightmares? The political timing is inconveeeenient. Innocent lives be damned.
Michelle Malkin is the author of “Culture of Corruption: Obama and his Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks and Cronies” (Regnery 2010).
I have to disagree. The GOPe is NOT losing. The GOPe wants largely the same things as the Democrats, and they’re working together to achieve those things, like amnesty. Granted. The GOPe might prefer to be the majority party, but most of them are quite content to go along with the Democrats. After all, someone like McCain only needs to briefly play a conservative every six years, then it’s back to DC in his role as a senator, aka aristocrat, for life. As far as he’s concerned, President Obama and Harry Reid are probably easier to work with than the conservatives in his own party.
“,,,triangulating...prism...”
Geometric!!!!
Michelle is, as usual, not guilty.

The rnc called me AGAIN today begging for money... I laughed hard into the phone... thanked him for calling and then hung up on him.

RE :”I knew this SOB traitor was warming up for this.”
More on the way I think
What if Saturday Night Live did a piece about an RNC chairman from Uranus. This alien would not have a good feel for what a normal name should be. They would need a bombastic, funny name. How about Reince, son of Prieblus?
No doubt.
LOL!
“Granted. The GOPe might prefer to be the majority party,”
I doubt it. In fact, I’d even say the GOPe actually prefers to be the minority party. It takes nothing away from their wealth and status, but spares them the need to propose any new plans and take the lead on anything. That suits the spineless and unprincipled GOPe just fine, not to mention they can easily blame their failures on their minority status.
Those who are not familiar with our Alma Mater will not understand why it is important. For one thing, it has taught us a great deal about those who embrace the cloudborne fantasy that passes for "analysis" in Leftist circles.
No the RNC is not really cut from the same cloth. They are not "Obie Liberals"; but in many respects, they might as well be. Let me outline, why they end up in the same "La La Land," down the rabbit hole with Alice & the Mad Hatter:
1. Most of the major Corporate contributors are overly focused on the immediate boost to sales from an increase in the number of consuming bodies within our borders. This focus on quarter by quarter benefits, largely ignores the slightly slower to accelerate, but enormous social costs (including Welfare & Medical costs, that will result from those additional bodies.
2. These same big donors like the downward pressure on wages, which will also result from having more bodies to fill what job openings there may be. (There will not be, as some propagandists have falsely claimed, any remotely like a one for one increase in available jobs, for each new body.)
3. In addition to ignoring the more readily observed social & governmental costs from the increased bodies within our borders, there are less immediately obvious costs, which are ultimately more significant, but often overlooked by the myopic immediate focus of the Corporate contributors, such as the over-crowding in our cities; the need for extra security; the loss of a reflective, spiritually rewarding ambiance in our parks & open spaces; the deterioration in our schools--already evident in the most afflicted areas, etc., etc. (Form your own list.)
4. Finally consider why--besides pure avarice--that the Corporate types refuse to focus on anything but the short term benefits to their businesses; why they even overlook the fact that the newcomers will pay less taxes towards the new costs, than those business men themselves--a trend likely to accelerate, as the Congress moves further Left as the new bodies get the vote.
You may call it being "politically correct." But the Corporate business community have been conditioned like Pavlovian dogs, to consider just about anything, before they consider an ethnic factor in any way that any extreme activist on the Left or in Government, might be able to view as anti-egalitarian.
The Jesse Jacksons & Al Sharptons, the Justice Department, a host of other agencies, including State & local, have a chilling reputation for being on the prowel. There are few things more frightening to Corporate management, today, than the thought that they might be targeted with a "Civil Rights" Complaint. Few will even send an email, today, which might offer the slightest hint of an intent to discriminate in any way on any forbidden basis--or even the awareness of a problem in a frightening area.
Now, have I suggested anything here, that does not fit with anybody else's observations?

He needs to rinse his prepuce.
Very well reasoned explanation of where we are, regarding the business community, and amnesty .Also, how they are literally puchasing Republican politicians to do their dirty work.
When will Americans wake up to the fact that the whole ideological underpinnings of the Left are compulsion driven, not reason driven? (See Compassion Or Compulsion?) We, not they, represent the moral high ground!
” In addition to my other points, both the Corporate Management types & those compliant Republican politicians, have been brainwashed in College to actually believe that people are basically interchangeable—an idea as silly as any ever accepted by otherwise rational people.”
I have witnessed this stupidity first hand in the business community.
Note to Priebus: look up the meaning of the word SOVEREIGNTY. Any nation that does not have it is no nation AT ALL! You are afraid of tuff stances on national sovereignty is hurting your PARTY? uncontrolled illegal immigration is hurting our COUNTRY you Putz!
To your post, I would add only that Big Corporate is just as terrified of negative media attention as Big RINOs are. They know immigration boycotts are much more likely to come from the Left than the Right.
Prius is just pandering in words, he doesn't set policy. He was referring to Romney.
There is something about the way he presents himself that I see as projecting weakness. Remember the Caterpillar response he made last year on the War on Wimmin theme?
