Boehner Appoints Anti-Amnesty Hawk Matt Salmon to Immigration ‘Working Group’

“Let’s face it: I’ve been a thorn in leadership’s side,” says Arizona Republican Rep. Matt Salmon, sitting at his desk in the Rayburn House Office Building.

Earlier that day, Salmon had just been named by Speaker John Boehner to a special “working group” on the crisis at the southern U.S. border, where tens of thousands of unaccompanied children are streaming into the country with hopes that President Obama will grant them amnesty.

Salmon is the most conservative member of the new group, and his selection by Boehner is surprising, to say the least, given that the Arizonan has been a leading critic of House leadership.

“Probably nobody was more shocked than me, but I was pleasantly surprised,” Salmon says.

On the other side of the ledger, the group includes Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a passionate advocate for a comprehensive immigration bill, and Rep. John Carter (R-TX), who negotiated for years with liberal Democrats, including Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA), to craft an immigration bill that never saw the light of day....

This is a transparent ploy by Boner to retain support for Speaker.

[GeronL]

he will be outnumber several to one

[Ray76]

Enforce existing law.

Deport illegal aliens.

Defend the border and repel invasion.

[rockinqsranch]

Agree.

[JustTheTruth]

Matt is a straight shooter. He knows that this country is pretending that it is not bankrupt, and that the health, welfare and social service costs of millions and millions of illegal immigrants will only hasten the time when the reality of our national bankruptcy can no longer be hidden, but slaps this nation with a destructive force.

[amihow]

He is not against amnesty recently. He waffles and has become McSalmon.

[Norm Lenhart]

Trust nothing or no one Bhoner empowers. Something goes on behind the curtain. Always. If MS checks out, great. But trust nothing blindly.

[Theodore R.]

Everything Boehner does is meaningless.

[1010RD]

Bingo. The fix is in. It’s their last chance at amnesty.

[1010RD]

Or a trick.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Deport illegal aliens.

When they are found, like at a traffic stop. No need to give the Libtards talking points that we want to search out illegals.

[Ray76]

Deport on contact. Could be a traffic stop, could be crossing the border illegally. Illegal border crossers should be thankful they are deported and not shot on sight.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Absolutely!

We just need to avoid the Torches & Pitchforks scenario the Libtards want to paint us into.

[Ray76]

1. secure the border in a transparently verifiable way;
2. end the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment;
3. enforce eVerify without exception and with severe penalties;
4. deportation upon contact with any law enforcement agency - federal, state or local
5. no government benefits beyond critical emergency care (and that ought to be billed back to the home government); and
6. NO "Path to Citizenship" - EVER - for anyone who has entered the US illegally.

• Deport illegal aliens on contact with LE.
• Enforce the law vigorously on employers of illegals.
• Strong border security. Build the physical fence and use high-tech surveillance.
• Eliminate entitlements for illegal aliens.
• End the "anchor baby" policy.

Either of the above or some combo should get the job done.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Interpretation of the 14th will be difficult to change, especially with 0bama stacking the courts.

All else is fair and reasonable.

I have no problem with where they come from legally, but i think we should pick doctors and engineers, etc. rather than unskilled labors for the benefit of our country. We have plenty of documented unskilled labor as it is now.

[Clint N. Suhks]

laborers

[TigersEye]

Thank you, glad you like that. It is THE only border-illegal alien policy I will support and I will not support or discuss anything regarding legal immigration issues until that is implemented. I hope more people will join us in making that stand.
