An immigration overhaul may not have enough GOP support to pass the House, but the idea has found some Republican support in Illinois.
Former Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., is slated to join a number of prominent Illinois Republicans and CEOs on Tuesday to call on GOP leaders to pass a national immigration overhaul. Republican Reps. Aaron Schock and Adam Kinzinger are also scheduled to give video testimonials on the subject.
The event is hosted by the Illinois Business Immigration Coalition, and it’s being held at the prestigious Chicago Club in the heart of the Windy City.
Among the guests expected to join Hastert, who has stated his support of an overhaul numerous times: Jim Oberweis, the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate against Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill.; former Illinois Republican Govs. James Thompson (1977-1991) and Jim Edgar (1991-1999); and a number of CEOs. You can find a full list of expected speakers here.

But still no mention of enforcing the laws we already have on the books.
GOP is obviously in on the globalism scheme.
The clueless who helped give us Obama, Pelosi and Reid now give us more advice.
Do it and I’ll never vote for anyone with an “R” after their name again, EVER! I don’t care how “conservative” they claim to be.

My guess is that George Soros is picking up the “luncheon” tab!
BTW, Soros thrives on creating monetary chaos, as he makes a lot of his money
trading currencies, Worldwide.
Imagine a group of retired democrats announcing they are pro-life, support traditional marriage, support border enforcement, lower tax rates, and larger military spending.
The GOPe is dead.
Yeah good old fat boy attacks again
Hastert, the biggest fan of William Jefferson, D-LA.
Shouldn’t they all be in jail? Isn’t that where all Illinois Republican politicians ultimately wind up?
Hasturd, if someone breaks into your house, are you going to welcome them to sleep in it? I won't. That is what these Mexicans are doing breaking into the USA.
Hasturd, any questions?
The irony of this is that if Boehner ignores the Hastert Rule, immigration reform passes the House
I am so cynical of these scum bags. They know that amnesty will kill the Pubbies, so maybe this is their way of allowing the rats to establish permanent one party rule.
What a pathetic geek he was as speaker. Now he is just a confused old man. No DAMNED AMNESTY denny NONE!!
Illinois is hopeless-—the GOPe in Illinois is hopeless-—Chicago is going to go down the tubes and will be taking the rest of the state with it. Flee to Indiana or another neighboring state while you can.
How about a name the new conservative Party contest?
Thanks, I didn’t know that but not surprised.
The Republican Party has finally began pushing their real agenda and it is against common folks and for the business interests they represent. It’s a shame but Republicans are really for the business class and have no interest in others. They are pushing for immigration only because of the push by Corporate interests. Hell with the interests of the folks.
That means that we no longer have a party fighting for the majority but we do have Democrats fighting for the lower class (or so they say) and the Republicans fighting for the business class (or so they say fighting for the middle class), so we are left with no one to vote for...
Of course we have come to a crisis in politics...no major party to vote for and the libertarians are too far out of the main stream...what to do? Your guess is as good as mine!!
First of all, have they ever explained what they mean by “overhaul” and “comprehensive reform”?
Second, Hastert is number two on the list of worst house speakers.
Well, don’t you know that we have to fix the republican party from within? /s
