La Times ^ | Mar. 11, 2013 | Brian Bennett, Washington Bureau

Posted on 03/11/2013 9:21:20 AM PDT by AuntB

WASHINGTON — Eight senators who have spent weeks trying to write a bipartisan bill to overhaul immigration laws have privately agreed on the most contentious part of the draft — how to offer legal status to the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants.

Please do. And remind him that if he stands with McCain, he’s standing with a backstabbing enemy of the constitution against we the people.

Anything that has the input of the shifty Charles Schumer is bad for the United States.

‘Dreamer’ to teacher: (Reagan amnesty beneficiary) / FR Posted by EveningStar, 2/15/13

Maria Hernandez is one of six people Yahoo News interviewed for our series on Americans who gained green cards under Ronald Reagan’s 1986 law that legalized 2.7 million illegal immigrants. (Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...

S-o-o-o-o.....how did Maria Hernandez vote after Reagan gave her the vote----just take a wild guess, FReepers.

Yahoo reported: Hillary Rodham Clinton's California campaign was carried to victory by voters like Maria Hernandez of Boyle Heights, who cast her first vote for Bill Clinton and returned Tuesday to do the same for his wife Clinton's victory — the election rested on the twin pillars of women and Latinos, groups that overlapped w/ voters like Hernandez. Clinton tapped into the growing political clout of the state's Latinos. Endorsements were important.

PS--Rubio and Mccain promise THIS time it will be different!

I found that Maria Hernandez (supported Hillary) article from a simple google.

I challenge McCain, Grahamnesty, Bush, Rubio to find us a single illegal who got Reagan amnesty who votes against Democrats consistently.

They figure by delaying citizenship for 10 years it will give the GOP time to change all their positions to ones that Dem voters will accept, maybe they figure all the FNC viewers will be dead or in nursing homes by then.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi recently told Chris Wallace on Fox News, "It is almost a false argument to say that we have a spending problem (WRT sequestration)." " (And besides, we have to subsidize all our new citizens who will vote---and make me Majority Leader, again---not to mention the billions in foreign aide we plan to give to all the countries on the other side of the border.)

Every “compromise” in the proposed immigration bill by the RINO’s working on this bill, e.g.:

“According to aides familiar with the closed-door negotiations, the bill would require illegal immigrants to register with Homeland Security Department authorities, file federal income taxes for their time in America and pay a still-to-be-determined fine. They also must have a clean law enforcement record.”

will be challenged in a liberal federal court as being against the human rights of these “undocumented” aliens and will be declared unconstitutional by the federal court effectively giving every illegal alien [instant] citizenship, e.g. liberal socialist voting rights (new demorat) and every concession in the proposed bill will have been for naught and the liberal socialist get EVERYTHING they have wanted from the very beginning and the RINO’s get played like a bunch of bed-wetters they are!!

You are on to something, but the problem is not limited to the courts. They have

EOs,

sleazy bureaucrats like Napolitano (and don't forget GWB's Michael Chertoff: "You know, Wolf, first, I understand there’s some people who expect anything other than capital punishment is an amnesty. The reality is the proposal here requires people who came in illegally who want to stay to pay a penalty. Like a fine. That’s a punishment. That’s not an amnesty."),

but I think the worst problem is that the American people have surrendered to leftist policies.

I know I’m repeating myself, but until we clean out the ‘conservative’ side we can do nothing about the libs pushing amnesty.

It’s not accident that Grover Norquist, who wrote the Bush amnesty & destroyed every immigration reform ever made is in league with CPAC, ACU who is headed by Al Cardenas, another AMNESTY pusher.

[snip]Ooooh, looky here:

This page lists board of directors of the American Conservative Union, which hosts CPAC. The page isn’t easy to find, most likely because it shows both Grover Norquist and fellow mole Suhail Khan. Grover is keeping a low profile; as of this writing, I don’t see him on the speakers’ roster.

The ACU chairman is Al Cardenas,[born in Cuba[********** who has been pushing for another amnesty for illegal aliens.************* He actually expects us to believe that giving eleven million illegal aliens (including a large number of Muslim infiltrators) will “stimulate the conservative electorate.”

I don't trust Palin WRT amnesty, but then there are few politicians I do trust. The kindest thing I could say about Palin on this subject is that maybe she has not made her mind up yet.

Would you like to know what Cuban born Al Cardenas, the head of the ACU (American Conservative Union) and one of the powers that be at CPAC think about the Gang of 8’s Amnesty??

Ready???

“Statement from ACU Chairman Al Cardenas on Immigration Legislation

Published: January 28, 2013
Contact: Laura Rigas, (202) 347-9388, lrigas@conservative.org

“It seems that a growing number of Democrats & Republicans in Congress have found common ground on agreed-upon principles for immigration reform.

Congratulations to both sides of the aisle in forging a responsible framework today. Difficult days lay ahead in working out specifics on the legislation itself, but the Senate is off to a good start and I encourage the House to follow suit.”[snip]

It’s not by accident that Grover Norquist, who wrote the Bush amnesty & destroyed every immigration reform ever made is in league with CPAC, ACU who is headed by Al Cardenas, another AMNESTY pusher. Do you understand that these men have hijacked the tea party movement to further their own goals?

Amen.

Quite a few Freepers have pounced on sickoflibs because he is not a GOP ***kisser, but consider what the GOP is doing now, with a few principled exceptions.

I voted for Ted Cruz in the primary and general elections. So far, he seems to be doing OK. I'll call his office today so that he knows some of us are against amnesty.

Yet another myth from the open borders crowd, "we need the tax revenue from all these Mexican nationals working here!"

The fact is, those of them that do work generally have incomes so low that they pay nothing in taxes (and in fact get EIC back). More importantly, many Mexican immigrants, legal or not, are disproportionate beneficiaries of various social welfare programs, and wind up costing more than they can ever hope to to contribute.

They won't be paying for our retirement. We will be paying for them and their children, on the other hand.

Unfortunately, even the tea party right has hopped on board the amnesty bandwagon. I could be wrong, but didn’t Ted Cruz and Rand Paul both also state that they’re opposed to deportation and also favor some path to citizenship?

No, the grassroots tea party isn’t for amnesty. That’s what some want you to believe.

Cuban born Al Cardenas, head of ACU, along with Grover Norquist run CPAC and are using the tea party label under teaparty.net & TPNN to further THEIR GOALS. THIS is the enemy within!
