House Majority Leader Eric Cantor attempted to project a softer Republican tone on immigration during a speech at the American Enterprise Institute on Tuesday, but indicated there is a ways to go until Republicans and Democrats agree on an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws.
Cantor, the second-ranking House Republican, endorsed a path to citizenship for DREAMers, the undocumented young people brought to the United States as children.

Who comprised Murder Inc. kiddies?
Eric Cantor reveals that he has no interest in the future of this country and is ready and willing to harm us. Already previously, he has made comments that have raised red flags.
And what does Cantor propose we do with their parents who made the mistake of entering this country illegally, committed ID theft, worked illegally, etc. And exactly how old is a "child" who qualifies for legal status and then citizenship? And what kind of message does this send to intending illegal aliens wishing to bring their children with them?
He also voiced support for a guest-worker program
We have 23 million Americans looking for fulltime employment, many of them with college degrees. We already have close to 2 million temporary workers in this country thru existing guest worker programs.
"Each year our colleges and universities graduate approximately 40,000 foreign nationals with Masters and PhD degrees, many of whom are then forced to leave the country because there are not enough visa slots in our immigration system to permit them to stay," he said. "So rather than being able to invent things here in America, grow businesses or start one of their own, they do all of these things somewhere else."
Most of these students are already staying here. Are these 40,000 supposed to be in addition to the 1.2 million LEGAL IMMIGRANTS we bring in annually? Why can't our educational system produce the STEM workers we need? Why do we have over 900,000 foreign students attending our universities, which receive federal and state resources to operate. This is all about cheap labor.
First we are told that we need immigrants to do the jobs Americans WON'T DO. Now we are told that we need immigrants to do jobs Americans CAN'T DO. This is all being pushed by the Chamber of Commerce.
this is nothing more than a new propaganda term roll out. dreamers is just goebling the dream act amnesty program.
1/3 do not want citizenship. these will not be voting for morons like cantor.
Sometimes I think government is so big and so powerful that only a collapse will provide the chance to restore our Republic.
I do not know of a country that, after going down the road of Socialism, has "legislated" itself back to limited government?
Our Founders clearly predicted that men of ill would dominate our government and over time destroy our Liberties.
Some unforeseen "reset" event will be needed.

I see the Republican cave-in is continuing smoothly.
Only about 1/3 of the ‘legal’ green card Mexicans want to be US citizens.
Personally all these Pols need to be dismissed as soon as possible before they f&^k up something else.
ANY other Amnesty is merely ignoring Law-Breaking, and effectively REWARDING them for it.
God, help us.....
As someone who has actually issued a visa, most of these illegal aliens couldn’t qualify for a tourist visa let alone an immigrant visa. And they know it.
Those 1.2 MILLION so called DREAMers are age 18 to 30...
say there are 1/2 males 1/2 females
more than 500,000 males...
how many of those over 18 males raced on down and signed up for selective service like they are suppose to ???
Eh ??
My disdain for the GOP is now equivalent to my disdain for Dems.
Conservatives have NO EFFECTIVE VOICE in government. Times sure have changed...
Then reduce exposure with term limits. I've heard all the lame-ass arguments, but nothing else is going to work. One term in the House, one in the Senate, and one as President. Cut K Street's balls off; once and for all.
Never happen, of course.
What would you have them do? Vote for the dem, not vote, or vote for a third party?
an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws.

The US immigration laws dont need “an overhaul”
They just need to be enforced...
and this is not about immigration...
there are no immigrants involved in this treason...
its about giving AMNESTY to 30 MILLION illegal aliens ...
rewarding them for their criminal behavior at the expense of the people who are waiting in line and doing everything thing the right way...
So true!I despise the spineless cowards of the GOP who have contempt for the conservative values that we hold dear! We cannot give up, but it is disheartening to see them in lockstep with the Democrats.
GOP, it was nice to know you! Well, not really. Kiss off, you traitors...I am done.
I agree with you. I don’t even consider them RINOS anymore because that infers that they don’t hold the real Republican views. Unfortunately, they obviously do. “Reach across the aisle, make deals, cave, give up your trump cards, etc” I think WE are the ones that are or were RINOS.
We have been under the delusion that the Republicans held our own constitutional and conservative views. Fortunately, Carl Rove has set us straight.
They have made a HUGE mistake if they think they will can enough illegal alien’s votes to cover the lost libertarian and Tea Party votes.
