Your post is true.
So why, Kabar and all.....does Lindsay, Rubio, et al, want this thing?
Rush Limbaugh asks the same thing.
Why do the Repubs, who have the most to lose with this thing, WANT IT?
Some Repubs (those part of the political class) want it because they are bought and paid for by corporate interests. When you have the Chamber of Commerce, Rupert Murdoch, the Koch brothers, and Hannity, among others on the same page with the Center for American Progress, La Raza, MALDEF, Soros, Schumer, Durbin, MSM, labor unions, etc., then it is apparent what is going on here. Mark Zuckerberg created two phony political organizations, one liberal and one conservative to push this bill. He is the one funding the commercials on Fox and Rush Limbaugh.
Motivated by parochial self-interest, the pro-mass immigration, open borders, amnesty advocates have formed a powerful coalition including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, labor union leaders, the Catholic Church, ethnic and racial groups, moderate Republicans, and the Democrat Party. The common thread that unites these groups is power, money, and the prospect of increased constituencies, even at the expense of our long-term national interests and survival.
My guess is Boehner et all have been brainwashed into believing that conservatism no longer is the way the future.
They think a modified liberal/conservative/middle road is the future to winning elections instead of standing for conservative values.
