Stop it. Boehner and Rubio are in FULL retreat on this. Rep. Jeff Denham R-(CA), on Sunday’s Univision Al Punto show, is talking out of his arse.
Well, one can hope you are correct. But I refuse to believe it. We’ve been around this block too many times, and there is too much evidence of large forces right now organizing to push amnesty again. So I believe it is incumbent on us to “keep up the skeer.” The stakes are too high to do anything else.
Rubio is but I am not to sure about Boner. With the entire leadership of the GOP and Issa, McCaul and Ryan all trying to write legislation to destroy us I am very leery. Call your congressman office and other congressmen as well pretending to be from his district all you can. And then hope and pray or we will lose this country. It is easy to come on here with your sour grapes but with a little more effort you can call any number of congressman’s office spill your gut and maybe make a difference which you can’t really sitting here and complaining.
That simply isn't so. The Reps are pushing ahead with separate pieces of legislation on immigration. Several have already come out of committee. There is a border bill and a guest worker bill (STEM) that have been passed out of committee. The idea is to pass the bills and send them to the Senate where they will be linked to the Gang of 8 bill and go to conference or each bill will be amended and passed by the Senate and then go to conference.
The big push is on now from the GOP donors. Ryan, Goodlatte, Cantor, and Pete Sessions are pushing this big time now. It is all behind the scenes. Don't be fooled by the rhetoric.
Rubio has not changed his views on the substance of what is in the Gang of 8 bill, just the tactics. Be afraid, very afraid of what is afoot. The GOP's corporate paymasters desperately want an increase in guest workers, especially skilled ones. The GOP will trade an amnesty for this increase.
We should be pushing for no bill to come to the floor. It is a Trojan Horse.
Assuming you posted your comment in good faith and really are opposed to amnesty for illegals, you are suggesting a very, very dangerous course of action. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Too many things that we all “knew”were impossible already have occurred for reasonable people to sit back and do nothing. Other articles say many business leaders are coming to Wasjkngton to press hard for amnesty. This is the mind of law that can be slammed through before we in the opposition have the opportunity to mobilize. Think of the way Cuomo rammed his disarmament law through in Albany.
We have to pass it to know what's in it.
Nah. GOP-E wants subminimum-wage workers for their real bosses, who are the only people who count.
Your daddy fought in the A Shau Valley and Khe Sanh? Sucker. Your granddaddy fought in North Africa? Yeah, well, that was a long time ago.
