Roll Call ^ | JM Rieger

The 113th Congress began with an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws seeming likely, if not inevitable.

I think they should have included the Dreamer hearing where Gowdy, Poe and others just piled on Steve King. The same people are blaming Obama for the freebie chasing Dreamers surging across the border when they were planning to make it permanent.

Is this what you moderates wanted?

The great, wise, intelligent moderates sitting on their butts, lecturing us about the evils of extremism and the need for a “big tent”.

Is this what they wanted?????

Exactly.

It infuriates me when conservatives salivate over Gowdy, who's just as bad as Cornyn and the rest on immigration/amnesty.

Some of us have been warning the Trey Gowdy was wrong on immigration because he was to chummy with Rep. Luis Gutierrez.

Gowdy is “mostly” a true conservative and for those areas I commend him. But in the heady days of 2013 when the Chamber of Commerce GOPe was riding high in anticipation of AMNESTY, Gowdy effectively “RUBIO’ed” himself with his AMNESTY advocacy — — and that was a deal breaker for me with him.

It galls me when a Republican or conservative starts talking about immigration reform. Then comes the equivocations that it’s not amnesty because they pay a fine, and it will take a long time, and they have to ‘work’ for it....blah, blah, blah.

When you year ANY of them start talking about immigration reform, they are telling you they care more about their positions of power, their DC offices and lifestyle more than they do about how our country is being overrun with criminals from other lands.

Something Mickey Kaus pointed out repeatedly at the end of 2010, when Reid & Co. were trying to shove the DREAM Act through a lame duck session of Congress, is that this is the stalking horse for comprehensive legislative amnesty.

Whenever you see someone like Gowdy-or any politician-advocating citizenship for DREAMers, they're effectively signing off on legal status for 15-20 million illegal aliens.
