Sen. Bob Corker 'Frustrated' with Conservative Amnesty Opponents
Breitbart ^ | 7 Nov 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 11/15/2014 9:43:33 PM PST by EternalVigilance

On Thursday, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) showed disdain for conservatives who object to massive amnesty legislation that he wants a GOP-led Congress to enact. To Corker, those who oppose amnesty because they care about the rule of law, American workers, and sovereignty and secure borders are nothing but "demagogues."

“I get really frustrated with people on my side of the aisle who say that anything you do on immigration is amnesty,” Corker reportedly said on Thursday. “I saw it play out in these congressional races, where people were actually trying to solve the problem, and the only word people used was amnesty.”

Corker, who was behind the sham amendment to give cover to Republicans voting for the Senate's massive "Gang of Eight" amnesty bill, said he hopes that "we don’t let demagogues prevail, and that we finally deal with this issue and put it behind us."

Corker took issue with opponents of the Senate's "Gang of Eight" bill who pointed out that giving a pathway to citizenship to all of the country's illegal immigrants amounted to "amnesty." Corker reportedly "stressed that under the bill it would have taken 15 years to go through the process of gaining legal status, and that it also would have denied federal benefits to anybody in the country illegally for 10 years."

“I don’t know, is that amnesty?” he scoffed.

I’m frustrated with the RINO twin senators from Tennessee.

Yup.

Bob Corker wants to enfranchise more Democrats.

He should switch parties since he knows very well amnesty is a pathway to changing America forever.

And all he can do is throw around insults.

Here is a plan, instead close the border like you voted for in President Bush’s first term. Then we can talk idiot.

Corker you stupe!

Yeah, no federal benefits for 10 years?

How many milliseconds will it take for some liberal judge to strike that one down as "unconstitutional"?

You can rely on democrats to be LIARS. Take that to the bank.

Remember the "minor" tax increases in return for 2:1 spending cuts?

Turns out that the tax increases were far from "minor" and the spending cuts?

Coming up on 30 years and I haven't seen one.

I stumbled across this week old article earlier, did a search for it on FR, and couldn’t believe it hadn’t been posted.

So Corker is supporting laws for lawbreakers.

I suppose he could solve all the problems of lawlessness by going into his office, sitting down and writing some laws.

Gee, why didn’t anyone else think of that?

He’s probably waiting to do that until the effects of amnesty have kicked in.

Hey, Corker, ask the Brits and French how they like their open borders policy. They are suffocating in camel crap!

I hate my Tennessee senators, and spend time and money every election cycle trying to oust them.

I wonder how much money this corrupt twerp Corker is receiving from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the traitor Tom Donohue?

Put a cork in it, Corker.

A question everyone should have been asking for the past few years.
