Wow! somebody doesn’t like this guy.

He therefore MUST be doing something right (well maybe).

SO, who is "America's Voice" and what America do they purport to represent?

Seems like there is no shortage of "conservative" groups to quote to push the liberal agenda.

I don't know of any Conservatives who were for "immigration reform" unless you mean stopping the flow of illegals.

I'm also not sure how not wanting kids packing pantloads of drugs across international borders on foot in the desert is "cold-hearted". Most normal people would consider that child abuse/endangerment. Wanting to stop it should be admirable, not reviled.

Until the progressives in the Republican Party either pull their heads out of the warm dark storage they keep them in, or there is new conservative leadership, the smear of those who want the laws Congress has passed to be enforced will continue, along with the smear of those who want to repeal the laws Congress should have not passed.

Someone who just wants to obey the law is now a “hardliner” and extremist.

Not just a “hardliner,” but the “hardest of hard-liners” according to Frank Sharry, a leading immigration advocate and head of the group America’s Voice.

All this just leaves my shaking my head. People violate our laws for decades and idiots like Obama and Sharry want to reward them with citizenship, snubbing people who have legally waited in line for years.

As Rush says, this is all about growing the permanent underclass to perpetuate the democrat party. They simply need more gibsmedats (I wonder what that is in Spanish?) to win elections.

This UK progressive puke may think again if we could send some of the worst of the 30,000 illegal felons Zer0 released last year to chop off his head and rape his wife/same sex spouse and his children.

My congressman, and an old friend.

One of the most capable legislators I’ve ever known.

And on this issue, Steve has never wavered.

I gotta tell you though, I disagree with Steve on this. He said the other day that they shouldn’t impeach the usurper.

In my opinion, they have a constitutional obligation to do so.

A “censure” is a joke. A very bad joke.

The votes aren’t there and probably never will be. The senate would never convict.

Doesn’t matter. One’s oath is personal. It’s made to God, not men.

In other words, its keeping should not be in any way dependent on some calculation about whether some other officer of government will keep their oath.

That’s not at all what I said.

I didn’t say it was. I responded to what you said. That’s what people do when they converse.

No legislative “leader” would bring that to a vote without a reasonable assurance of success. No one lightly impeaches any official, much less a president.

“Lightly”? The man has openly breached his oath.

Congress has a duty to provide the constitutional check and balance for that.

If they won’t, they’re as guilty of misfeasance as he is.

When they take the oath, it doesn’t include a “reasonable assurance of success” clause.

I beg your pardon. I said “misfeasance,” but the proper term in a case such as this one is actually “nonfeasance.”

Impeachment should have happened in his first term.
At this late stage, I do not see any practical advantage in filing articles of impeachment.

With both Senate and House out of Obummer’s party, he is now just a lame duck squared. Every one of his executive orders can be nullified by the next president.

Getting immigration under control will be much more useful endeavour. Securing the border, deporting legal visa overstayers, and allowing highly skilled people to immigrate will pay better dividends.
