Will Republican Push Immigration Reform Before Midterm Elections?

I wish I knew what was in the water that the Republican leadership is drinking so we can administer a counteragent. Democrats are floundering as more and more people start realizing the true cost of ObamaCare, not to mention the out of control spending of Washington. Across the county, progressive liberal programs are being attacked and rolled back, such as Common Core. Despite the mainstream media constantly shielding Obama and actively participating in his lies, a majority of Americans believe that he lies on important issues. With all these things lining up in the Republicans' favor, you would think they would just continue pounding him on those issues. Instead, we get more push for immigration reform, which will just lead to amnesty and an open border.

It's been reported that Speaker John Boehner and other establishment Republicans told donors that they aim to pass immigration reform this year. At a Las Vegas fundraiser last month, Boehner said that he was "hellbent on getting this done." Sadly, Boehner is not alone in this sentiment. The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Bob Goodlatte, told Silicon Valley executives that he was upbeat about passing such legislation this year. One executive said that Goodlatte told him that they could have votes on as many as five to seven immigration bills this summer. One such bill being drafted is by Mario Diaz-Balart, which will give illegal aliens legal status and the ability to apply for citizenship. The bill adds border security measures, but we all know that will never happen.

For some reason, John Boehner and the establishment Republicans seem to think that Obama will enforce the totality of any bill that they pass. The truth is that he will just do what he always does, pick and choose which laws he wants to enforce and which ones he wants to ignore. You can see his actions by the declining court deportations in the last five years. The federal government, under Obama, is bringing fewer deportation cases to the courts, and the number of deportations have fallen a whopping 43 percent. Not to mention that his administration has released 68,000 illegal aliens that had criminal convictions upon an unsuspecting public. Then we have Obama's Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, calling illegal immigrants "inspiring." He's not alone in blowing kisses towards those that break our laws. Former governor of Florida Jeb Bush recently said that illegal aliens ignore our sovereignty "out of love."

It's a sad state of affairs. We have a good chance to take control of the Senate if the Republicans would just get their act together. Instead, they seem focused on committing suicide by allowing at least 12 million illegals (and it's probably a lot more) to become legal citizens. These people have no desire to integrate into our American culture. They're just here to make as much cash as they can or live off the government teat. A successful victory in the upcoming midterm elections would stonewall Obama for the last two years of his term, and the repealing of his wealth and freedom-destroying policies can begin. But it seems that Boehner and the other Republican knuckleheads want to be like the hare racing the tortoise. Finish line in sight and victory is ensured? Time to stop and take a nap before we finish, and then find ourselves plucking defeat from the jaws of victory.

I hope they push it hard, and now, before most state have their primaries. See the GOPe candidates go down to defeat.
