JEFF DUNCAN DROPS CO-SPONSORSHIP OF IMMIGRATION BILL PLANNED FOR INCLUSION IN NDAA
Breitbart ^ | April 2, 2014 | By Jonathan Strong

Posted on 04/03/2014 9:43:45 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

South Carolina Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan is dropping his co-sponsorship of an immigration bill House Republicans have been quietly working to include in the upcoming Department of Defense authorization bill, saying the language should never have been considered to be added to the unrelated measure.

Late Wednesday, Duncan said he hadn't been aware of efforts by the bill's author, California Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA), to add the language to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) – and that if it were added, “NDAA would lose my vote as well.”

At issue is a proposal to allow so-called DREAMers to obtain permanent legal residency by joining the military.

Sophomore Republican Rep. Jeff Denham of California, a close ally of GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy, is leading the push to add the text of his “ENLIST Act” to the NDAA, which could come to the House floor as early as next month.

Duncan is the first of 42 co-sponsors to rescind his support since Breitbart News reported of the effort to add the proposal to the NDAA bill. The secretive effort has set off a panic among top immigration hawks that inclusion of the language could open an immigration Pandora's box, paving the way for a broader immigration bill.

The South Carolinian's support for the Denham bill was particularly important because Duncan is a high-profile conservative.

Reps. Mick Mulvaney and Trey Gowdy – the latter of whom is the chairman of the immigration subcommittee on the House Judiciary Committee – are two other South Carolina Republican cosponsors who could provide conservative heft to the Denham effort.

That is more than enough evidence to persuade us of SC District 4 that we may have made a horrible mistake and to rally us to unseat the one you are religiously Wormtongueing.

Thank you for all your good work; I require no additional proof positive of this (what you imply is) seditious behavior on that one's part.

I'll tell him what you said next time I see him. Happy?

Just run a search on ‘Gowdy supports amnesty “ and the list of articles is long. Its sad


No thank you please no more. Ha ha. You've already done quite too much (helpful?) pedaling of this doctrine to need convincing me any further. The status quo gotta go. Ha ha. Don't you agree with me?

You have also convinced me that you not speak with forked-tongue when you say that it (your proselytizing) is sad. It really and truly is.

The Democrats of District 4 are pleased with your work here on FR. Conservatives have already heard your idea and are not as enthused with your work here.
