McConnell won't block immigration bill from hitting Senate floor

the house will respond with passing a bill that is tougher on border security, rejects voting rights, rejects amnesty etc., etc.

Another scenario that I am even more concerned about is that Boner allows the Senate bill to be voted on in the House. All the rats will vote for it and all that is needed is for about 20 Republican sellouts to go along and it passes.

There is huge $$ on the amnesty side with the farmers, construction, high tech, restaurant, etc in for the cheap labor and the rats in for the 10-20 million votes.

This will fundamentally alter the U.S. for the worse. I cannot believe that the businessmen are so blind to this but they are. Like Lenin said, "The capitalists will sell us the rope we use to hang them."

[Buckeye McFrog]

Believe me, the good people of Kentucky would like to be able to blame this one on Tennessee too.

McConnell won't block immigration bill from hitting Senate floor...

Why not Mitch you pusillanimous putz?

[Buckeye McFrog]

I cannot believe that the businessmen are so blind to this but they are.

Wait till they see their first Congress elected by an Hispanic immigrant majority. Bernie Sanders may be the most Conservative guy holding down a seat in there.

I’m afraid the people behind the scenes who selected Obama and arranged for Obamacare to be forced into law are the very same ones giving orders to Mitch McConnell and John Boehner. Maybe John Roberts too. Adios America.

[Rummyfan]

The good people of Tennessee should be ashamed of themselves for electing this fraud again and again.

Kentucky....

[itsahoot]

I think you have found the secret plan.

I was pretty sure the Republic was over when McCain threw the first election because I knew in my heart that the won had no intention of ever leaving office. He may leave but he doesn’t plan on it.

[Venturer]

Can’t think of enough bad thing s to say about Mitch or his fellow RepublicRATs in the Senate.

They have sold us out once again.

Where is that third party? I am sick to puking of being a Republican.

[fifedom]

The least he could have done would be to offer two Amendents to abolish the Anchor Baby and Hospital Emergency Room Welfare Laws.

True patriots like Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama have tried to offer similar amendments in the Judiciary committee and they were voted down with Linseed Graham and that the aptly named Flake voting with the Rats.

I think on the Senate floor Reid controls what amendments come to a vote. In any case, the Rats have enough votes to kill any amendment that they do not like.

The only hope in the Senate was a filibuster but with McConnel not supporting it there are not enough votes to stop cloture.

Rush is saying that the Rats do not like even the fake "tough measures" in the bill so they will get a leftist Federal judge to declare them unconstitutional. By the time it winds through the courts the illegals will to be able to vote in 2014 and 2016.

Mea Culpa.

Wonder how many of our congress critters are connected to Mexico and drugs?

Sen. Rand Paul and Mitch Mc Connell only meets with pro-illegal, pro-amnesty groups
Many Americans are ignored

LEXINGTON, KY – May 28, 2013 – Alliance for Immigration Justice (AIJ), a national organization, promotes reasonable legal immigration and opposes illegal immigration and mass amnesties. AIJ believes in the “rule of law” concept, with members being natural-born citizens, naturalized citizens, legal immigrants and American Latinos.

For over a month, AIJ has partnered with America for Lawful Immigration Solutions Today (ALIST), various state organizations and individuals to promote a roundtable discussion concerning immigration that would include private citizens, national Latino leaders and other conservative groups. Senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell have been invited to be part of this effort to voice opinions regarding the immigration issue and the current amnesty bill S744. Those invitations have been ignored.

On Friday, May 24, 2013, Senator Paul met with representatives of pro amnesty organizations. These groups included the Office of the Immigrant Solidarity and Information (OISI), Kentucky Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Southeast Immigrant Rights Network, Progressive Immigration Compact of Kentucky, KY May Day Coalition, along with a representative of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Louisville and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington, and illegal aliens. Sen. Paul has also openly criticized conservatives and voiced his support of amnesty for millions present in the U.S. illegally, which is a violation of law.

However, Sen. Paul doesn’t call it amnesty, legalization or normalization - he now calls it DOCUMENTATION. He also said his own bill, introduced in 2011, would stop birthright citizenship for children born to illegal aliens in U.S. territory, but that now it would not be needed if solid border security is achieved. How will that border security be achieved without tools to end citizenship to “anchor babies” and to encourage employment verification, issues that Sen. Paul now opposes? The Senator measures border security by feet of fence and walls; illegal immigration can’t be stopped with fences, walls and drones if the attraction of multiple benefits from America is still there. Senator Paul should physically visit the U.S. southern Border States and see firsthand how many people jump the fences daily.

In 2010 Senator Paul said: “I do not support amnesty in any form. Those who wish to come here should respect our laws……we should also recognize that our system of welfare and benefits encourage this behavior… I support the full enforcement of federal immigration laws…”

Sen. Paul supported amnesty and criticized conservatives. It is clear that the senator ‘flip-flopped’ and is not willing to listen to concerns of American citizens and legal immigrants.

Yep, I saw a story last week about how McConnell is quietly pulling the strings behind the scenes. He was the one who asked Rubio to be the front guy for the amnesty bill.

[Christie at the beach]

Of course, he would. Newsmax has been running an article about Jeb Bush has been actively involved behind the scenes in this so called (amnesty) immigration reform. Don’t people realize that he speaks for the high rulers of the establishment. I will be so happy when people fully understand the GOP-e wants this amnesty thing, too. They much rather see the issue to just go away before the midterms... than understanding what damage it would do overall to our country and we all know how they fight on principles. (see Obamacare-we need a TP constitutional candidate to take on McConnell)

“Wait till they see their first Congress elected by an Hispanic immigrant majority. Bernie Sanders may be the most Conservative guy holding down a seat in there.”

Great comment.

Roughly 30% of California’s Assembly is Hispanic. How is that working out for us?

The interesting thing is that many of the Pubbies who vote for the amnesty will be voted out of office when the illegals get the vote. Even after Juan McLame fronted the 2007 amnesty, the Mexicans still voted ~80% against him in Arizona in the 2008 presidential election and in the 2010 Senate election.

I cannot believe that these people are that stupid. The best I can figure is that the big money has promised them a cushy position once they lose their seats.

[kempster]

Two reasons why I won’t contribute to the Republican Party.

What are Boehner and McConnell?

[Carriage Hill]

"This will fundamentally alter the U.S. for the worse."

0marxist told us he was going to do it. The media hid the 10-sec clip until after the '08 election.

” I’m afraid the people behind the scenes who selected Obama and arranged for Obamacare to be forced into law are the very same ones giving orders to Mitch McConnell and John Boehner.”

Sure looks like it.
