Boehner and Cantor and company wanted to use the DREAM act provisions as a camel's nose in the tent: the means to get the whole damn thing.

King threw a very big wrench into their works and destroyed their talking points of compassion, etc.

The August recess is upon us. And my guess is that there will be few town halls, switchboards will be shutdown, email boxes will be mysteriously full and offices will be shut down...all so that representatives only hear from Amnest proponents.

Nevertheless, hound your congressmen and senators while they are on recess. Give them all the hell they yearn to give us!!

That is EXACTLY the strategy, and there's absolutely no reason why anything to do with any illegal, kid or not, can't wait until access to the country is under total control: Fence, coasts, ports, airports, visas, employer check in place.

That could be done in 2 years and those kids aren't going anyplace important in that time.

All it takes is honesty and just doing it.

King should respond with an amendment proposal that allows Valedictorians to stay legally. The left and GOPe always use that unlikely anecdote to sell the Dream act crap. ‘A kid can be valedictorian and still live in the shadows’. Well, in a class of 300 there is one valedictorian, but hundred who aren’t. Let’s look at the whole picture when making policy.

Sounds like the obama team is ginning up a phony “pretend” scandal.

Wouldn’t it be swell if the Republican “leadership” attacked the DIMS with the same vigor that they bring to bear on members of their own party?

Throw a rock over the fence and the pig that squeals the loudest is the one that got hit.

Sounds like King’s ‘rock’ ricochetted and hit several squealers.
