Article is a few weeks old. Still relevant. The grass roots 'tea party' isn't split on this issue. The lobbyists who wrote this amnesty and hijacked the tea party label to promote it and Rubio are at odds with tea party principals, one of which is NO AMNESTY.

What say you, GRASSROOTS Tea Partiers, Do YOU support the Gang of 8 Amnesty??

Another article relevant to this one :How the Tea Party is Influencing Republicans on Immigration Reform (should be how the tea party was hijacked to make it appear to support AMNESTY!)

do they not realize how much 40 million disloyal foreigners on the dole would cost the taxpayers?

Just saw Dick Durbin pushing this bill as 'homeland security'...beefing up the border, blah, blah, blah...don't believe the lie!

"Ali Akbar, a Republican strategist with close ties to the Tea Party movement.......Akbar said he personally hoped he could back new legislation as it emerged." Is this a joke, or is this really the guy's name??

And do not our so called Conservative Congress Men and Women know the TERM: Chain Migration? Which allows new citizens to sponsor all their blood relatives - which usually turns out to be everyone they know back home..

[parksstp]

Nope, he’s real

Their argument that these amnestied illegals will not be able to collect benefits doesn’t hold water. Every single one of their American born children are/will be eligible. Chain migration will create even more American born children collecting benefits.

No, he's for real. He appears to be part of the movement of hijacked tea party labels by lobbyists...TPNN and teaparty.net, who promotes Grover Norquist and CPAC and AMNESTY, as nearly as I can tell. The other day I read something interesting about the guy and am looking for it now.

[snip]I’m proud to see a major blog like TPNN step up to benefit the movement as whole,” said Ali A. Akbar, President of the National Bloggers Club.

Let’s, for a test, first cut off all welfare and public health services to illegals and see how that works!

[ICCtheWay]

First off .. the big lie that there are 11 million illegals began seven years ago... There were closer to 20 million then. But just leave it at 20 million. Each new illegal alien citizen (several years down the road they say - yeah sure if a Court does not decide to overule the quasi-status given them) - anyway each new citizen gets to sponsor relatives in the old country for citizenship. At say - ONLY 4 relatives per new citizen that could easily add up to 80 million Hispanics mostly as citizens in 40 years or a lot less time. Population would swell to over 400 million - probably pushing 440 million. The historic citizens of long term American Ancestry would be facing a solid ethnic block of Hispanics totally 120-140 or more million - if we are lucky to get away with that. You young guys and gals had better start teaching your kids Spanish as their first language. And learn to Press 2 for English

Chain migration will create even more American born children collecting benefits.

I have known legal immigrants who told me that they had been able to bring over their parents and grandparents and immediately get them on Social Security, with one saying a younger uncle got on disability. Of course none had ever paid into the system.

One guy telling me that, I would have written of as B/S. More than three "ain't".

If they can somehow do this, what are the odds these Newbies will do even better because they have been playing the system for so long?

It’s not BS. Heck California even has their own old aged Social Security system for the ones that don’t qualify for the federal one. Just drag grandma across the border and she is good to go.

The TEA Party ain't a party, it's a movement of like-minded individuals, and those like-minded individuals know that if the feral government cherry-picks selective-enforcement of current immigration law, they will cherry-pick selective-enforcement of any new law.

They will only enforce the parts that create more Democrat voters.

Borders...Language...Culture...wash rinse repeat...!

Have you ever heard this rumor??? There are several pages on the search engine with this noted. No wonder Akbar is a Grover Norquist follower. Norquist and Rove are always on the same page.

What sort of demented mind considers Jeff Flake a “Tea Party favorite”.

THe problem is this...the tea party label has been hijacked for fundraising by k st. lobbyists (all for amnesty) and their operatives, like

ALI AKBAR. CONVICTED FELON

The TEA PARTY needs an enema to flush out the scum that has tried to take it over.

This is a leftie website, but they are the only ones picking up this kind of info. which looks correct so far.

National Bloggers Club Founder Ali Akbar: Convicted Felon

[snip]A recent investigation by BU into Ali A. Akbar of The National Bloggers Club has revealed that he had been convicted in 2007 on charges of Credit Card Fraud and Theft 1500.00-20,000.00. It is interesting to note that Mr. Ali Akbar presents himself as a money man or political operative for the right wing conservative movement. Yet, as he blogs or tweets incessantly about the conviction of Brett Kimberlin, he himself has been convicted of Theft of Property and Credit Card Fraud back in 2007 in Fort Worth Texas.

“What sort of demented mind considers Jeff Flake a “Tea Party favorite”.

That’s what the amnesty pushers want you to think. They want us to think the Tea party supports the gang of 8 amnesty. It’s propaganda used against us by ‘our own side’.

Amen!

Amnesty ignores the rule of law and rewards the law-breakers with all kinds of benefits provided by the Tax-Payer.

Anyone, and I mean anyone, who backs Amnesty in any form, be it Rubio, Rand Paul, McCain, or anyone else, is a Traitor to Conservatives and the GOP and ultimately this country.

Giving Amnesty to the 30 million+ Undocumented Democrats in this country who think the government should take care of them will destroy the GOP, and this country.
