House Speaker John Boehner’s top committee chairman says he wants an immigration bill that would allow millions of foreign migrants to stay and work jobs sought by Americans.
“I’m going to use my assets and resources in the new year to work with this Congress… to have a well-understood agreement about what the law should be, and how we as communities, and farm communities, and tech communities, create circumstances where we can have people be in this country and work, and where not one person is quote ‘thrown out’ or ‘deported,’” said Rep. Pete Sessions, the chairman of the powerful House rules committee, told a group of Democratic legislators.
The committee has the power to kill or boost members’ bills because it decides how each bill will be considered in floor votes.
Sessions’ promise of de-facto amnesty to Democrats was welcomed by Chicago Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who frequently describes unauthorized migrants as members of his community.
“My heart was filled with a lot of joy when you said that people who are working here, who don’t present a danger, basically should be set aside, that those aren’t the people we should be going after,” said Gutierrrez, four hours and 16 minutes into the hearing.

More crybaby, freeloaders who are always “offended”, coming to our country. Wonderful.
Here, the trend seems to be a complete washing of indigenous people from our land and replacing us with others.
Sure it will take time ... but look at what they've accomplished in a relatively SHORT time ... just look at the last 50 years.

Taxpayers should refuse to file any returns next year. If amnesty passes, all laws mean squat.
They really don’t get it, do they.
Handed majorities in both chambers to stop Obama and the DIM agenda, but they’re clueless as to why. Rather cr@p on their own base than offend a RAT.
They screw this up, they’re done as a political party. I’m not the only one who held his nose on NOV 4; but NEVER AGAIN.
It’s time to recall John Boehner. Ditto Mitch McConnell.
Rush was talking about this yesterday .. the dirty little secret was that the GOP REALLY WANTS AMNESTY TOO (because they want to have pliable voters - not these rabid Tea Partiers) .. meaning they are against you and me.
I’m praying the new congress people will back Boehner into a corner and he will end up losing his speakership .. and next time he comes up for re-election .. he can be removed from the PEOPLE’S HOUSE .. because he no longer represents THE PEOPLE.
Ditto. I'm done. Somehow I take offense to constantly being bent over and screwed by my supposed "friends". No more. On another thread, I said similar, and was told "It's your ilk that will usher in the Hillary generation." Lol. Is it just me, or is that line about as wore out as "It's Bush's fault!"?
Welcome to the revolution.
First change dependents to 8 on your w-2.
We got the Harriet Myers appt. stopped. Maybe if we banned together we can impress upon limpwristed Boehner just how important it is to stop this illegal presidential crap. (/pipe dream)
oops: Banned should be band.
Pete Sessions can burn in hell.
And he will.
I won't vote for a Republican establishment, even if it means the reincarnation of Hitler and Stalin is running on the Democrat ticket.
IF SATAN HIMSELF IS RUNNING AS A DEMOCRAT, I STILL WILL NOT VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT.
NOT EVEN IF THEY PUT A GUN TO MY TEMPLE.

I just called Sessions office (202) 225-2231. The staffer answering the phone told me that the remarks were taken out of context and that the Congressman does not support “blanket amnesty”. He weaseled around with when I asked what king of amnesty he supported. The words were probably taken out of context but he still is playing at least a few games. Call then up and ask them yourself what they are up to. That is definitely going to do more good then bitching hereon FR.
Last month this was supposed to happen in the lame duck congress. Just more bedwetting.
