GOP Senators Hope to Sneak Amnesty into Trump’s Popular Immigration Reforms
Breitbart ^ | March 22, 2017 | Neil Munro

Posted on 03/22/2017 9:46:50 AM PDT by HarleyLady27

Business advocates who want to import more foreign consumers and more foreign workers are developing plans to counter President Donald Trump’s popular call for a merit-based immigration reform.

The emerging strategy is to pair offers of minor concessions to Americans and Trump with demands for giveaways to business, including a bigger supply of low-wage workers and welfare-funded consumers. The immigration “pairing” strategy is being pushed by the industry-backed Business Policy Council, in cooperation with GOP Sen. Thom Tillis.

Either Trump will back it or he won’t.

Given it has to pass both houses of congress its unlikely it will suddenly be law without us knowing about it.

The GOP “Establishment” is no better or worse than the DemocRaps.

They need to be flushed out in 2018.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, McCain, Murkowsky and Rubio all voted for the Gang of Amnesty bill.
All need to be removed from office and replaced by people who support the rule of law.

You have to define amnesty. And whether it includes or excludes citizenship.

Everyone seems to have their own definition.

Amnesty to me is...If you go out and wait in line like you should have in the place, I believe that under those circumstances, you can go for citizenship.

McCain and Flake are playing both sides of the field on this.
Intel wants cheap H1b
SEIU wants more militant Union workers.
McCain wants cheap labor to work in his personal hotel interest in Sedona.
McCain has taken donations from all three.

Any policy towards illegals must - MUST - address the incentives that are set up by that policy. Are you incentivizing more to try their hand at illegal entry or are you incentivizing them to stay home and apply through the legal process?

With 600 million people south of our porous non-existent southern border and untold millions outside the Americas who might also avail themselves of this easy access, there can be only one immigration policy - Stop giving prizes for illegal entry.

Any measure that permits those who entered illegally to benefit from that illegal act is amnesty. And any amnesty will bring millions more invaders.

This must be stopped.

Will you help stop this?
You can help:
Right-click this image and save it. Post it on your Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts. Send a copy to your Senators and Reps right now and whenever you communicate with them. When you get fundraising solicitations, include a copy in your reply. Send copies to your friends and family and ask them to do likewise. Spread it everywhere.

You can be certain that those twelve will join the rest of the Gang of Amnesty if they think there is a possibility President Trump will sign the bill.

President Reagan was an innocent dupe who fell for that trick. I hope and pray that President Trump will not commit treason by supporting such an immoral action. Criminals must not be rewarded for their crimes.

McCain will likely die before he finishes this term. Even if he doesn’t, I think it’s pretty clear to everyone that he is in the early stages of senile dementia. AZ GOP needs to be working on his replacement candidate right now.

NO Amnesty. The illegals MUST NEVER BE CITIZENS. If this bunch is made legal we’ll get a million more in the next few years.

At best they can be temporary workers... They can not be citizens, their children can’t be citizens and they can’t vote ... ever.

Americans have some rights... and one of them is to NOT SURRENDER TO INVADERS.

Aside from 3 or 4 senators the rest of the US senate are nothing more but a bunch of bought and paid for leftist, globalists. They would sell their own wives and daughters into slavery for a $$$.

GREAT SUMMARY!!

Make it so, President Trump!

Ryan is a lost cause and whatever should befall him, he earned by his own actions.
