Cornhole is an abomination when it comes to illegal immigration.
Who is blackmailing this guy Cornyn? I’m thinking we have another Ensign situation.
I think Cornyn has been compromised... I wish we could give him a lie detector to find out who is pulling his strings.
Cornyn is playing politics.
He just want to heap Obamas plate high to see him choke.
Politically speaking, why would a republican want to imports tens of millions of your opponents voters?
The GOP is dead.
I just don’t like the guy. I don’t either of our RIN-hole Senators
LLS
Relax, guys.
I seriously doubt that Cornyn is a pro-amnesty Republican.
What he wants to do is to force Obama to put all his cards on the table now.
Obama is getting weaker by the day, as people start to realize just what they have elected. The more controversy he heaps upon himself, the greater the push-back from the American people. Cornyn is banking that Obama is so deluded that he will push for amnesty while trying to ram health care, cap-n-trade, maybe a second stimulus, as well as managing to lose the war in Afghanistan. Y’all recall the outrage that accompanied the attempted passage of amnesty last time, right? Well, imagine the grassroots momentum that will be achieved when anti-amnesty and anti-Obamacare forces unite to put a stop to Obama’s nonsense. With any luck, a concerted grassroots effort can slow him down long enough for a Republican-led Congress to begin the counter-attack in 2010.
I support Cornyn in this — prick Obama’s ego and let him over-extend himself.
Few time’s I agree with Obama. This is one of them. Leave amnesty for an election year. That gives us the upper hand.
Stick your “ compassion “ where the sun don’t shine Cornyn.
WE will are not willing to TRADE compassion for the the very sovereignty and security of our country. That means NO amnesty of ANY kind (including “path”, “earned”, “touchback”, etc) for ANY illegal aliens.
Secured borders, Attrition through enforcement and an end to birthright citizenships.

Voted in favor of motion to invoke cloture on S. 2611 to increase overall immigration numbers and reward illegal aliens with amnesty in 2006
Sen. Cornyn voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on S. 2611, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006. The motion to invoke cloture was a procedural move to ends debate on S. 2611. If the motion had been rejected by at least 40 Senators, Majority Leader Bill Frist, MD (R-TN) would have had to choose between continued debate on S. 2611 and moving on to other legislative business. If the motion had failed, Sen. Frist was expected to move on to other legislative business, thus effectively killing the bill. S. 2611 provides an indirect path to citizenship for illegal aliens. S. 2611 also provides for major increases in temporary worker visas and permanent immigrant visas. It provides for at least an additional 100,000 H-1B visas annually; an additional 325,000 new guestworker visas (H-5A/H-2C visas); a one-time-only permanent increase of 310,660. In addition, the S. 2611 includes amnesty for an estimated 10.2 million illegal aliens (about 6.7 million illegal alien workers and 3.5 million illegal aliens spouse and/or children). The cloture motion passed by a vote of 73 to 25.
Cosponsored a bill in 2007 to encourage illegal immigration
Sen. Cornyn cosponsored S. 422, the Secure Border Crossing Card Entry Act of 2007. This bill would have established parity between Mexican nationals who possessed a valid biometric Border Crossing Card (BCC [also known as a “laser visa”]), who have completed the necessary security checks (a rarity in today’s lax enforcement environment), who visit the United States and Canadian “visitors” by allowing BCC bearers to remain in the United States for up to six months (Mexican nationals with BCCs may only stay in the United States for up to 30 days, while Canadians possessing “tourist” visas may stay up to one year); would have retained DHS’ authority to set the length of time those with BCCs may remain in the United States; would have authorized that agency to modify the length of admission on a case-by-case basis if good cause exists; and would have made a Mexican national inadmissible for the BCC admission period if: (1) he/she was inadmissible as a nonimmigrant; (2) he/she had previously violated his/her nonimmigrant status; or (3) the BCC was not processed through a machine reader at the U.S. port of entry. Sen. John Cornyn (R-T exas) was the measure’s main sponsor.
So now that he has met such resistance to simultaneously ramming through unread bills, he's now going to be gracious enough to try to ram them through one at a time.
