Ted Cruz And Jeff Sessions Stand Almost Alone Against Amnesty

Sometimes it seems like Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama are the only two people on Capitol Hill who understand President Obama’s game on illegal immigration, because after you add Representatives Jim Bridenstine of Oklahoma and Steve King of Iowa, the list of those in Congress who are willing to take on Obama and stand for American sovereignty and the rule of law gets pretty thin.

Click here to demand that your Representative take the CHQ “No Amnesty Pledge.”

Most Republicans in Congress seem to be willing to chase the latest bunny that the leadership has released to distract them from the real problem -- Obama's lawless refusal to faithfully execute the laws Congress passes and secure our southern border.

Breitbart News has reported that House Republican leaders are exploring lawmakers' immigration “wish lists” as they craft a legislative response to the Obama-created border crisis, and that can only mean one thing; some form of amnesty for millions of illegal aliens will be back on the table... unless legislators like Cruz, Sessions, Bridenstine and King can stop it.

Senator Sessions has been the foremost defender of America’s working people in this Obama-created crisis. Sessions has correctly identified the disastrous impact the vast tide illegal and legal immigrants as one of the major causes of the economic stagnation that is destroying America’s blue collar middle class.

When Obama announced that he wanted $3.7 billion to deal with the current invasion of our southern border Sessions said, “Today President Obama says he needs $3.7 billion from Congress to handle the crisis his lawless policies are creating.

Polls show the majority of Americans stand with them.

We have been betrayed by traitors in government acting as agents for special interest groups (big ag, chamber of commerce, La Raza (a racist organization), etc. Our country is finished.

The slippery slope started during the JFK/LBJ years. The sad thing is that little was done to try to halt the slide between then and now. I give Reagan some credit for cutting the highest tax levels and winning the cold war (even though he amnestied a lot of illegals). Aside from that, no Republican, certainly no Republican president has done squat. Sure, it was probably better to elect W than a nutjob like Gore or a Quisling like Kerry; but not much. W was pretty much an open borders guy who emphasized the "compassionate" of "Compassionate Conservative".

I don't much care at this point. It's "game over". Obama was the cherry on top.

We need to keep our guard up, but I seriously doubt any Republican in the House (ok, maybe a small handful) wants anything to do with Amnesty, considering that they have to look at Eric Cantor every day they’re in session.

You would think, wouldn't you?

“But money still talks louder.”

It didn’t talk loud enough for Cantor, who outspent his opponent by at least 20 to 1. Had to scare the crap out of the other Republicans.

Obama will be needing $3.7 billion every week at the rate it is going. There is still the long term need of $$$$ .Take into account medical care,schools, housing, lawyers,etc,etc. All our money will be spent to improve the lives of illegals here and pushing American’s to the curb cutting back on what services we can get . There is only so much money and when it runs out,who knows what will happen next.Obama pushed us to the back of the line and advanced illegals to the front. .

Wasn't there a list of Conservatives in our government, that included Ted Cruz as well? I think there were a total of nine names. If four Conservatives stood up for Ted's bill, what happened to the so-called four others from that list of Conservatives? Did they drop off? Change of heart? Went over to the dark side? Greedy for the money? Does anyone know of the list that I speak of, and perhaps have the list of names of the Conservatives?

Kerry Bentivolio is in Steve King’s gang. He has a primary from the left.
I dont believe foreclosure king Dave Trott would deal with adorable dreamers in such a way. Suddenly on June 10, after Cantor lost, Dave Trott had an immigration position after saying nothing on the issue.

“So you’re an illegal! Your parents broke the law!” Our attempt at dialogue went downhill from there.”
