John Cornyn: Obama Would 'squander' Best Chance At Immigration Progress With Executive Orders
Bre ^ | 11/17/14 | Caroline May

If President Obama moves forward with his executive actions on immigration he would be “squandering” one of the best prospects for bipartisan immigration reform, according to Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX).

“There is an opportunity for the president to reconsider, as he has done once before, and I hope he will reconsider and decide to work with us in a bipartisan, bicameral way to fix our broken immigration system,” Cornyn said Tuesday afternoon. “If he proceeds forward with this executive order, it will squander the best opportunity we’ve had in a long time to make progress.”

Cornyn and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) both expressed disappointment at the lack of bipartisanship coming from the White House, notably on immigration.

In other words: “Please, King Barrack, please let us fall down on our knees and lick your boots! We’ll make all those undocumented Democrat votes legal for you, and we’ll take all the blame from the conservatives for doing it! We’re happy to sell out our own country and destroy our political futures at the same time!”

Has the leopard changed his spots yet?

It's all a big show until the end comes and then it's everyone for himself.

And that is why Cornyn was targeted as a useless RINO traitor.

How can you reform a system whose laws you refuse to enforce? Capitulation, giving up, relenting, ceding, surrendering, appeasing, pandering - any of these fit “reform RINOs”.....law abiding enforcers is not one of them.

Immigration progress?

Just exactly what compelling need does the United States have for millions of more uneducated people?

Obama doesn’t want “immigration progress”.

He wants to goad republicans into doing something his ObamaMedia pals can spin to get the people riled up against the republicans.

And he wants to create some kind of violent reaction in the streets that he and Holder can use against white “Bitter Clingers”.

“It’s not broken, John - it’s just not enforced!”

That is called “doublespeak” which is closely related to Orwell’s “doublethink”. That line by Cornyn has been repeated countless times over the years in an attempt to change reality with the spoken word (lie). It reminds me of the line that “Obama won’t be impeached because he is the first black president”. That encourages Obama to pursue his lawlessness.
How many times has Rush said that?

"to fix our broken immigration system"

How do you have a real bipartisan agreement, when our side concedes the argument? Keep voting rino.

Right now, Corny’s just doing a Lindsey by trying to suddenly appear conservative & tough.

Ain’t working.

It isn’t actually about immigration “reform” anymore, it’s about who gets credit for making noise on the topic. 0bama can do whatever he likes and when it comes crashing down blame the Republicans, and the media will back him 100%. That’s what this is about, and the damage done by the crashing is just the cost of “transformation”.
