So does this defund Obama-care govmt shutdown distraction make it easier or harder for Bohner to pass amnesty?
I am am not sure myself. Maybe amnesty will be put on hold till a budget agreement is worked out and passed, or maybe not.
Either my congressman lied to his staff, or they lied to me. Earlier they had assured me that he was not for a path-to-citizenship, but yesterday he told the local Chamber of Commerce he was for a path-to-citizenship. You see, he explained, "If we provide no workable court process to some form of legal status for some of our current illegal population, we will never gain the votes of the amnesty crowd." So he becomes part of the "amnesty crowd" for the sake of - you guessed it - "border security."
But perhaps the good news (if he is telling the truth about this) is that he does not think "immigration reform" will become law.
Called his office again today and said, although I have always voted for him in the past, if he persists in pushing amnesty, I will not vote for him again.
