GOP Strategist: Immigration Reform a Job for Boehner Successor
newsmax.com ^ | 9/23/14 | Sean Piccoli

House Republicans running scared from voters who oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants will have to deal with immigration reform sooner than later, and might need a new House speaker to lead the way, says a GOP political strategist who ran for Congress this year.

Both parties in Congress have mishandled the immigration issue and used it for political purposes, Weston Wamp, a former congressman's son who lost his own bid this summer for a U.S. House seat in Tennessee, told "MidPoint" host Ed Berliner on Newsmax TV Tuesday.

But Wamp conceded that immigration is causing more trouble for Republicans than Democrats heading into November's midterm elections.

And Wamp, who at 27 was one of 2014's younger GOP primary candidates, did not entirely disagree with another "MidPoint" guest, liberal political strategist Brad Bannon, that Republicans "just don't have the courage" to face down their base on the need for a comprehensive immigration overhaul.

"He's not far off," Wamp said of Bannon's harsh appraisal.

"This is an issue that the vast majority of House Republicans are scared to death of," said Wamp. "And it's very difficult to tell what the real impact of immigration's going to be here, in the next month leading up to the midterms, because in every state it's different.

Basically what he's saying is "when the House has a Speaker who will not be intimidated by the Tea Party and will bring the bill to the floor so it can be passed with democrats and moderate republicans."

There is a problem, though. The Senate's Gang of 8 bill will be no more as of January 3rd. Both houses will have to start all over again. And there's always another election coming. They blew their wad and they lost!

The Democrat and Republican elite are arguing over who will cram Amnesty down America’s throat.

The "fruits" of diversity (cackle)----decimating the US as we know
it.....bombarding the US educational system w/ Third World agit/prop.

US history is being scrubbed from curricula. The WH ding-a-ling's obsession w/ emptying out the Third World into the US is turning US schools into refugeecamps........w/ big plans to inculcate the savage illiterates w/ hate-America, anti-American ideology....IOW reliable Democrat voters.

==================================================

REFERENCE--Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups;

Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook found including distortions, omissions and half- truths all passing for accurate high school US history...

And there's this gem: "The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism. Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry.Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

Strangely enough, these cream puff radicals who abhor police power would not hesitate to use government police power to enforce the changes they desire.

=============================================

THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

REFERENCE Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

==============================================

REALITY CHECK A primetime network news segment focused on an "impoverished" latino mother who paid big bucks to get her son coached to take the College Boards---but he was so stupid, he still couldn't pass them. So the C/B summarily "changed" the tests so that Pedro could pass using subversive Third World hate-filled US history.

RE “ And it's very difficult to tell what the real impact of immigration's going to be here, in the next month leading up to the midterms, because in every state it's different.”

basically he is saying that some GOP held (house) districts have mostly white voters who appose any immigration amnesty but others are in districts with lots of Hispanics, like in CA, and are vulnerable because of it.

But Hispanics may largely stay home this election .

US Senate Candidate Scott Brown (Repub--NH) has jumped 20 points over incumbent Dummycrat Shaheen...... and is now in the lead....... on the Amnesty issue alone! In fact, Scott was the first Repub candidate to pinpoint amnesty in his campaign ads.

===================================================

SHAHEEN SUCKS-UP BIGTIME---VOTES FOR "COMMONSENSE, COMPREHENSIVE" GANG OF EIGHT IMMIGRATION BILL" June 27, 2013

(FROM SHAHEEN'S OFFICIAL WEB SITE) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (Dem-NH) today voted in favor of a bipartisan, commonsense immigration reform package that would strengthen border security, require all employers to use an E-Verify system to ensure no workers are here illegally, and provide a tough but fair path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants who are already living in the United States. The historic legislation passed on a bipartisan vote of 68-32.

“Commonsense immigration reform is the right thing for our economy and is long overdue,” Shaheen said. “The plan we passed today represents the right way forward. It puts the millions of undocumented immigrants who are already living in our country on a path toward citizenship, but not until after imposing strict penalties. And this plan will strengthen border security which will blunt the flow of persons entering our country illegally.”

=================================================

If reelected, Shaheen can be depended upon to come up w/ more ntl security threats as she sucks-up to the Third World's "immigration reform modus operandi" to subvert US ntl security.

Scott Brown needs to show all the reasons why his opponent does not belong in the Congress....including the burgeoning ntl security threats from Shaheen's embrace of "immigration reform."

The Gang of 8 bill was never sent to the House for consideration. If it had been, it would have been blue-slipped and sent back to the Senate to remove appropriation language.

That said, the inside information I have received is that there will be an attempt to pass immigration legislation during the lame duck session by the GOPe.

HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE:

<><> Immigration reform has become so toxic among Democrats, that Senators demanded hot sauce bottles be removed from Senate cafeteria tables so as not be reminded that they stupidly voted for reform.

<><> Nobody knows who---but some wise-guy put a cucaracha in Sen Schumer's bean soup.

<><> And when Schumer ordered a taco, the stale taco shell was willfully broken in half---carne assade spiced w/ habanero peppers spilled all over Schumer's pants.

<><> Schumer had to seek emergency medical treatment for painful crotch burn.

Democrat candidates are facing a daunting task---b/c DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has made some huge boo-boos. Long-simmering doubts about D/W/S reached a peak after she criticized the White House’s handling of the border crisis.

HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE: disgruntled Dummycrats say these were the crack-brained ideas of D/W/S:

(1) D/W/S advised Mexico President to go to California and declare it "another Mexico." (RESULT: a tsunami of 2014 voter polls indicate massive voter revulsion for Democrats);

(2) D/W/S advised Obama to meet w/ Third World leaders; (RESULT: villages emptied--contagion, vermin and disease infect the USA);

(3) D/W/S advised Obama to put out the global welcome mat. (RESULT: slit-eyes jidahists from 144 countries pour over the border);

(4) D/W/S advised Obama to delay E/O amnesty to help nervous Democrats in tight Senate races. (RESULT: Obama's Numero Uno on Mexican drug cartel hit list).

Close the border.

Enforce existing law.

Wait a decade.

Then we can talk about “reform”.

“Close the border.

I agree and have been saying the same thing except that we should wait thirty years, that’s how long they’ve been ignoring existing law and leaving our borders unprotected. It’s really been longer than that but thirty years ago when they passed the last amnesty they promised to protect the borders and enforce the law.

There actually will be “immigration reform”, but only after Barry is out of the WH. If the conservatives dominate at that point, which they are close to do if we can just break the core of the GOP-e leadership, “reform” will likely amount to the following.

1) Building the damned wall, without hindrance from open border types in both parties, as well as those Chamber of Commerce anti-Americans.

2) Creating a streamlined process for immigration, in which immigrants both outside and inside the US can within reason get citizenship within five years, if they do the following:

a) Zero felony convictions.
b) No known criminal gang affiliations.
c) Pay all back taxes and turn in any false ID.
d) Remit all federal aid paid to them to date.
e) Demonstrate competency in the English language.
f) List all relatives who could be eligible for US citizenship.
g) Families must have at least one full time or equivalent employed member for five years, to include legal residency.

3) Building “buffer detention centers” along the border, of three types.

The first type are for released felons awaiting deportation at a rate and means appropriate for their home nation. The biggest problem is with Mexican felons, in that if we just kick them across the border, they immediately join a criminal cartel and continue to pose a clear risk. The proper means is to fly them to southern Mexico, then turn them over to the Mexican government there, on condition that they not be released north of Mexico City. This means from 600 to 1000 miles overland to get back to the US.

The second type of detention center is for women and children from all countries. These are the hardest group to process for anything.

The third group are non-Mexican aliens, who will be scrutinized with a fine toothed comb to insure there are no terrorists or supporters with them. This will also be used to detain visa overstays and foreign nationals who have engaged in questionable (federal law) activities while in the US.

4) A big one: Resumption of quotas, overturning the Ted Kennedy immigration act, giving preference to people with education and money over the uneducated and impoverished from third and fourth world nations; which is the opposite of what Ted Kennedy wanted.

5) etc., I’m sure I missed plenty “immigration reforms”.

Since they passed the CR to keep the gov. funded thru early Dec.,I’m afraid the GOP has gotten the im/ex bank extension in return for immigration reform and however much stuffing they can fit in during the lame duck sessions.Scary
