We have not forgotten the 2007 McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill that was killed in the face of intense outrage from the American people. Since then, we have seen a communist administration, under Barack Obama (or whatever his name is), assume power in the United States, and among the myriad of impeachable crimes and malfeasance of his administration, we have seen an explosion of lawlessness from the feds in regard to the illegal alien invasion of our country.
This administration has engaged in criminal conduct by granting amnesty through presidential edict to certain illegal aliens. It has refused to police and secure our border. It has spit on the rule of our immigration laws. It has refused to deport illegal aliens when they have been caught. It has released jailed criminal aliens onto the streets, claiming it was necessary because of “sequester” budget “cuts;” however, as all of the ridiculous Democrat “sequester” charades were meant to do, this was just designed to gin up anger at Republicans who support lower federal government spending.
If we were outraged back in 2007 at the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, we are now outraged to the hundredth power at the latest attempt by Congress to shove amnesty for illegal aliens down our throats.
Even worse, we have lately been hearing radio ads (with corresponding television spots) featuring Congressman Paul Ryan and Senator Marco Rubio who are touting Senate Bill 744, which is euphemistically titled, “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.”
I know I’m not the only one who is incensed at hearing these radio ads aired during Rush Limbaugh’s show and possibly other national conservative talk radio shows, although I have only noticed them prominently featured in heavy rotation on Rush’s network. The organization that created the spots is called, “Americans for a Conservative Direction,” and its board of directors includes Haley Barbour, our former Republican Governor here inMississippi. Thanks a lot, Gov. Barbour—not!
From the group’s home page is this statement:
Our country has a broken immigration system and a broken border, both of which present huge obstacles to the businesses, job creators, and legal immigrants who have played by the rules and will help continue to grow our economy. It’s well past time for Congress to get to work on real solutions to secure our border, hold those who have broken our laws accountable, and improve our legal immigration system to meet our country’s needs and boost America’s competitiveness in a global economy.
These are lies. Our country does not have a “broken immigration system.” It has a lawless administration that refuses to enforce existing immigration and visa laws and a strong border. This is not brain surgery. There is no need for another mammoth 844-page, outrageously expensive piece of legislation ostensibly designed to “fix” what isn’t broken. We already have “real solutions” to secure the border. The problem is that our criminal administration in Washington won’t employ them.
The claims in a television version of the “conservative” amnesty ads featuring Rubio were roundly debunked by the Center for Immigration Studies.
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told CNS News that this monster bill destroys the rule of law. At least we have a few Republican voices out there that are not in lockstep with “Republicans” like Ryan and Rubio who are trying to peddle snake oil amnesty to the American people by pounding us with these fake “conservative” ads that insult our intelligence by declaring this disastrous amnesty bill to be a very good thing for our country, when it is no such thing.
From the CNS News column:
King and other House Republicans said on Monday that they offered “another viewpoint” from Republicans who believe amnesty is necessary for the GOP following the 2012 election. He said the bill is “being stampeded” without enough scrutiny.
“The people on the other side of the aisle, they want amnesty for a number of reasons, the biggest one it’s a big political boost for them,” King said. “I don’t understand why Republicans think it’s a good idea, but somehow they’ve bought into this idea.”
He also said the bill is a “terrible idea” from an economic perspective. “At no stage in their lives does the universe of those who would receive amnesty make a net financial contribution to this country,” King said. “At no stage. Not a single year.”
A member of the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, King cited the Heritage Foundation’s recent report by Robert Rector and Jason Richwine that found granting amnesty to illegal immigrants would add $6.3 trillion to the federal deficit and $9.4 trillion in government benefits to the newly minted citizens.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) has also warned that the bill gives Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano “virtually unlimited discretion to waiver” prohibitions on obtaining legal status, such as criminal activity or previous deportation.
“The big question I would pose out there is, why?” King said. “Why is that 844-page bill, why is it good for America and Americans?”
“I can’t get that answer on why it’s good for us,” he said.
We are simply in a re-run picture of “Amnestyville Horror,” only this time many more Republicans are stupidly going along with it, very much against the will of the American people.
And to further rub our faces in this un-American, third world invasion nonsense, the so-called “conservative” Haley Barbour amnesty group is flooding Rush Limbaugh’s show with these moronic Ryan-Rubio ads. Rush is certainly free to take advertising money from whoever he wishes, but I wish he would reject these stinking spots. We’ve been sick of hearing them since we heard the very first one.
Message to Ryan and Rubio from the majority of the American people: Take your fake “conservative” support for amnesty, stick it in your pipe, and smoke it, because we weren’t buying it back in 2007, and we’re certainly not buying it now.
Scott, I did not write "... myriad of impeachable crimes and malfeasance...," because that's not grammatically correct. My copy I sent you said "myriad impeachable crimes and malfeasance..."
Please check with me before changing my copy, in case my copy is correct as it stands. I make enough errors as it is; I don't need errors added to my copy. Thanks.
All positions that I support. Unfortunately, there are no politicians out there espousing them.
The overriding problem is that virtually all legislators are attorneys. They have always had their good ole boy club and it is worse in legislative halls. Knock the hell out of each other for public consumption and then whoever wins gets to be the guest at the other’s dinner party.
We are at odds with the Republicans in our legislature because they did the redistricting and let the Democrats have what they wanted, including redistricting Allen West’s district so he could not win it.
They are all in it together to separate as much of our money from us to get it into theirs.
The “Tea Party” in Florida wasn’t the grassroots, it was the GOP-E. They also put up the phony conservative Rick Scott for Governor.
Both guys (Rubio and Scott) are Jeb Bush clones.
“Marco Rubio somehow became the darling of the Tea Party crowd in Florida. Why is beyond my understanding....”

Well, he was the alternative to Charlie Crist. As bad as Rubio is turning out to be, he’s better than Charlie Crist...not that that’s saying much.
At this point I despise Rubio. I’m sure his ambition is driving him to support this amnesty but he’s too stupid (or blinded) to realize this is not helping him have a future in the Republican party—he’s clearly well on his way to RINOhood.
Hayley Barbour? He’s simply in it for the money and will clearly sell his soul to anyone with the right financing.
Paul Ryan? He’s stupidly allowing himself to be ensnared in this also. It may not be too late for him to escape without PERMANENT damage, but the hour’s getting late for him.
On the other hand, we really should ban them from holding public office ~
great suggestions .send them to Palin or congress critters or Rush etc.
I would make Mexico taste the metal storm for sending an invasion into the USA , an invasion of vermin

I wish Tom Tancredo would run again.

Rubio is subverting the Conservative message; he is an imposter if he continues to call himself a Conservative.
Rubio is a liberal’s liberal. No question about it. Rubio is for increasing the size of big government, spending more money and increasing massive deficit spending, and to add insult to injury Rubio is working hard to create brand new special legal rights for illegal immigrants that will absolve them of crimes and grant them access to special pots of taxpayer money.
I heard a talk show host the other day discuss Rubio’s Florida speaker governing record.
This guy is not a conservative.
nothing conservative about it.
They sound like abused wives who “love” their abusers
What? No response Scott? You come into here and drop your little kitty poop and then won’t answer?
Some factor that is. Are you related to BOR?
I believe Ryan/Rubio are damaging themselves politically beyond repair among the conservative voters. It is an insult especially when you know who helped fund it.
Every time I hear one of those ads I want to scream. They run them over and over during Rush here.
Kitty crap? Rubio is a shill and a fraud. I stand by my statement.
Was he a better choice at the time he was running? Probably...but that’s not saying much for the Florida Republican party, now is it?
I agree. This ad is sick and loaded with lies. It does insult the intelligence of all Americans. “Conservative” my arse.
I wonder how many low information voters hear this ad and think “Gee, I’m a conservative, I sure hope this immigration bill passes.”
