Boehner Goes Overseas, Vows Immigration Reform, Amnesty at Overseas Chamber of Commerce

The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Rep. John Boehner, promised foreigners in a foreign country he’d deliver comprehensive immigration reform. Boehner’s speech happened just before an illegal alien killed an American woman in San Francisco, shocking the nation.

“The speaker of the US House of Representatives Rep. John Boehner has told a Dublin audience of his determination to overcome Republican resistance to immigration reform,” Arthur Beesley wrote from Dublin, Ireland, for the Irish Times:

Mr Boehner also told how Taoiseach Enda Kenny has harangued him on the matter, telling him how the lack of reform has left some Irish immigrants listening to a parent’s funeral by phone. His remarks indicate he may yet move to confront opponents of reform within his own Republican party, which is in the vanguard of resistance to it and has a majority in the House.

Imitating Mr Kenny, Mr Boehner said he was seated at lunch between the Taoiseach and President Obama. The Taoiseach says: “John, John, John.” He says: “How’s immigration reform coming?” Mr Boehner replied: “What the hell do you care about immigration reform?” Mr Kenny: “Oh John, John. You don’t realise there are about 50k of my fellow Irishmen came to the US and never quite made it back across the pond. You know their cousins have got to hold up the cell phone at their parents’ funeral so their kids in Chicago or Detroit or wherever can listen to the funeral. John, John this is a serious problem.” Last Thursday when they met, Mr Kenny’s message was concise. “The Taoiseach said: ‘I think you understand, just get it done’.”

In the meantime, he will still be in office for a year and a half - lots of time to do lots of damage to u.S. citizens. God have mercy on us!

Why is that? If you are legal, you can certainly travel back and forth between the US and Ireland.

Boner is a reminder of why I’m so damned glad my wife and I left the Republican Party. This scumbag is determined to give our sovereignty away for a few envelops and a ride on Air Force One. I;m sick of all of this p o s Republicans.

“These country club conservatives will be the death of us.”

True. Those same country clubbers believe they can continue to plunder while the middle class while bribing the barbarians. They fail to learn the lessons of history. From the fall of Rome in the 400’s, the French Revolution in the 1700’s, Russia in 1918, Germany in the 1930’s, Zimbabwe in the 1990’s, Venezuela in the 2000’s the lesson of history is the same. The barbarians eventually break down the gates and destroy the homes and lives of the wealthy and powerful.

The US prospered when its political, academic, business, religious, and civic leaders were united in support of a common culture, Judeo-Christian values and morals, virtue and humility as important traits of leaders, a free market domestic economy, the rule of law, a classical education, a classless society, protected US markets (i.e. free trade meant no restrictions on what countries a firm trades with, not zero tariffs), controlled immigration, and an isolationist foreign policy. The ruling class has discarded every element of the success formula. Today’s leaders in every sphere are self serving egoists who despise the common people and spend every waking moment in the pursuit of wealth and power.

John Boehner spends more time planning his next dinner with K street lobbyists than he has spent thinking about the collapse of the republic. If there is any justice, he will live long enough to see the hordes breaking down the door of his Washington residence.

Bears repeating

The Romans had to learn that lesson the hard way and if we have to just sit by and watch the “barbarians” remove the a$$hats from their lofty positions then so be it. I hope the barbarians drag them from their chairs kicking and screaming. They truly deserve it for subjecting the hardworking backbone of America to their tyrranythe last 7 years. I have never been through this much turmoil in my life and their economic policies just about bankrupted me and so many other fellow Americans while giving away our hardearned money to those who didn’t deserve it, who didn’t respect it, contribute to it, and felt self-entitled to it. Maybe Rev. Jeremiah Wright was right about America. Maybe God used Barack Obama to do it.
