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).
Rancid Prebus needs to thrown under the proverbial bus. He is indicative of the new, revised Republicrat Party that needs to be destroyed in order that a new one be built that is the complete opposite of the Democrat apparatus.
Until this nation takes control of our borders the feckless Republican Party will lose three Legal American votes for every Illegal vote they pander to. Illegal immigration hurts LEGAL hispanics just as much as Legal Anglos in subverting American wage structures and increasing the rates of crimes and drug importation.
What Rancid is basically saying is that we should all become like the Democrat enemy. Just lie and say whatever you can to get elected, then once in power do whatever you want to deport those who never should have been allowed into the country in the first place. Rancid has met the face of the enemy,,,,and has become him. We Americans of the Conservative persuasion were designed for better things. The truth will never shut up Rancid , no matter how hard you try so just walk away, build a new Conservative party and avoid it.
Reese’s Pieces is just another reason to re-register unaffiliated. I’d quit voting if I HAD to be a Democrat to get my message to the RNC, but going unaffiliated will do.
This guy makes Steele look good ...... no never mind that’s going too far.
All of which also confirms, what you already know. That we have our work cut out for us; and it is an uphill battle.
Thank you for defending the values that made America possible.
But pandering, for any reason, is the very worst way to rally people back to your party, cause or anything else. We have to regain the initiative; not offer palliatives to the enemy.
This is more of the Karl Rove idiocy, where we chase after the opposition's supporters, by parroting the oppositions abominable & unConstitutional policies. This is a result not only of lack of mettle (fortitude) but failure to understand that the high ground is the Conservative approach. It is also the strongest argument if it is really understood.
Let me be more blunt. Prius, like Rove, appears to be an out & out dolt, when it comes to analytic ability. They know how yesterday's polls & focus group samples turned out. They have no clue as to how to change those results. If not reprehensible Quislings, they are at least inadequate.

I am no Prius fan. He is way too weak,
But Steele was terrible too and now after 2012 Prius sounds alot like Steele did.
Thank you for the good writing.
” Let me be more blunt. Prius, like Rove, appears to be an out & out dolt, when it comes to analytic ability.”
I wonder if dolt or obtuse covers it. Hard to believe that they are this removed from reality, especially Rove. I believe that he is a “bought and paid for” agent of the pro-amnesty business interests.
” If not reprehensible Quislings, they are at least inadequate. “
Again,I believe Prius is a churlish dolt, and Rove is the Quisling here.
Plus if you have a job its great to have operational money to work with, he needs donations for campaigns and if the big $$$ support him then his job is fun.
Unfortunately for Mitt, Roves TV and radio ads were a lame approach compared to Os sophisticated 'get out the vote on the ground’ drive.
Rove wasnt going to beat Obama just by boasting on Hannity and Greta shows.
I liked the way he screamed at Megyn Kelly on Air for calling Ohio for Obama. And they still pay him.

What she said.
Hey.. That is Prince Rancid to you and me.
Who is he rallying to his side with these statements?
Certainly not rank and file conservatives
I think it is more a case of "carrying water" for certain major contributors, who--in effect--pay his salary, and assure his financial future.
Not to be cynical! But I stand by my analysis in #32 on what makes the corporate contributor click--or not--as the particulars seem to appear to the myopic individual involved.

” California Voters Preventing ObamaCare Repeal ( 8/21/13 | Chriss W. Street) “
Anyone know how many illegal immigrants live in California?
Try 6 million. (LaRaza proudly boasts 7 million)
I lived there for 30 years (1976-2006)
I WITNESSED THE INVASION FIRST HAND.
” I think it is more a case of “carrying water” for certain major contributors, who—in effect—pay his salary, and assure his financial future. “
100% nailed it.

...and Malkin takes him to task, good job Michelle!
