Speaker John Boehner told Republicans that the internal debate over immigration reform is an “important conversation,” as the House GOP kicked off its closed-door meeting Wednesday afternoon.
Boehner said the House will “not” take up the Senate-passed bill, but said members must do something to address the issue, according to sources inside the room.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor, harkening back to when President Barack Obama first took office, said Republicans need to have a counter offer, just like their alternative to the stimulus.

*OUCH* that’s gonna leave a mark!
Yeah, LET’S trust POLLUTICO, the mouthpiece of former Washington Post JournoLists....
Come on, jimbo....don’t you believe these media fearmongers have an agenda that fits hammer and tong with the Clown occupying the Oval Office?! They’re BAITING you, man!!
Don’t fall for it!
Counter with a tax cut bill or a real budget, whatever.
“Must do something”?
WTF?
We owe the illegals ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It is astonishing to me that people keep repeating “must do something” like it is a self-evident truth.
All we “must” do is round ‘em up and send ‘em home.
I hope so.
I honestly had a conversation with my wife before we got married about what if scenarios like ‘what if your life is in danger what would I do. I told her then that we are both likely to die as I would not stand by and let whatever just happen.
And by daughter went through SERE with flying colors. So the bottom line is no, I would not cave in. And anyone putting me in that position is going to have to ‘really’ want me there.
Damn purist that I am... ;)
Find it strange when the excuse is being given that while the government knows whats going on in 300 million citizens lives but because the illegals are not citizens and in “the shadows” according to Florida’s Senator Rubio the US doesn’t know who they are or where they’re comming from so we must make them citizens..
THE QUESTION IS SENATORS HOW COULD YOU PASS A 1200 PAGE BILL YOU HAVEN’T READ... THAT HAS A FINE OF $5000 FOR ANY EMPLOYER WHO HIRES A CITIZEN OVER AN ILLEGAL ...WHY ARE YOU SO SET ON IMPORTING LOW WAGE LABORERS MAINLY FROM ONE COUNTRY WHICH TAKE UP JOBS OUR YOUTH AND ESPECIALLY BLACKS COULD BE PERFORMING ?
KNOWING THIS HOW CAN YOU HOUSE MEMBERS PASS ANY KIND OF LEGISLATION THAT MAY HAVE THAT AND AN UNSECURED BORDER COMMING OUT OF “CONFERENCE”....???
FR’s ; are urged to visit their respective Congressional Representatives and let them know their feelings
DON’T PASS ANYTHING
WHEN IT COMES TO AMNESTY
THIS IS THE MEXICAN PART NO ONE DARES MENTION
If you agree with the above and the following please don’t let it lay here in FR-land. Pass it on to to your favorite talk show host and to your US legislators. PUSH THE HASTERT RULE.
ONE NATIONALITY AMNESTY SKEWS QUOTAS. HURTS OTHERS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, AND SKILLED LABOR QUOTAS FROM OTHER NATIONS ...WORSE YET OFFERING AMNESTY FOR NATIONALS FROM A COUNTRY THAT HAS CLAIMS ON OUR NATIONAL TERRITORY THAT COULD AND HAS TURNED INTO PROBLEMS FOR BORDER STATES CLAIMED BY MEXICO .
In that May 3rd speech Obama gave before the Mexican Anthropological Museum in which he blamed America for the violence in Mexico I believe he went even futhur. There’s a inference but never referenced by name to the Gasden purchase and border settlements US made with Mexico where Obama hinted he seems to side with the Mexican claims. Would those in attendence share that view is a question that should be asked, because I believe they would,.He does ! Plus works with Mexican nationalist groups like La Raza who does.
SOLVING THE ‘LATINO” PROBLEM A MYTH HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE BUT A POLITICAL LINGUISTIC CONTRIVANCE ...don’t fall into the hyphenated Americans trap created by the hyphenated political party ...The DEMO-COMS
The Mexicans have been getting most favorable treatment above the rest of our neighbors both north and south. They’re permitted to cross our borders and enter illegally and are allowed access to rights of citizenship (with the exception of voting which if the democrat party regains control over the House will happen) other nationals entering this country don’t get.. Worse yet the Obama government has been working hand in glove with Mexican movements such as LaRaza supporting the Mexican claims which are also supporting “Amnesty”.
Also by allowing Mexicans to do this any quota ration for immigration from other south and central American countrys are taken up by Mexicans while that country is laying claim to a large chunk of our sovereign territory is a recipe for later serious problems which are happening now.
ARE MEXICAN ILLEGALS SQUATTERS PERPETUATING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS ?
We are already seeing the result of this in certain areas claimed by the Mexicans. Their national flag (standard) gets displayed over ours. Where there is a controlling number of Mexican nationals (illegals). It’s displayed over certain institutions particularly schools accompanied by riots and disturbances. Blacks are threatend by Mexicans in certain sections of citys in those areas. We’re courting trouble by not placing a value on our sovereignty and our citizenship.
MOST COINS OF THE REALM HAVE TWO FACES WHAT ABOUT HOW ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN MEXICO BEING TREATED ?
Worse yet if a US citizen goes into Mexico never mind illegaly but legally. They’ll get 2nd class treatment. Land ownership in title is prohibited period. And there are a slew of regulations they must comply with. Which doesn’t apply to a citizen of Mexico
THE SOLUTION ASSERT OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND TALK RECIPROCITY .
By not insisting on reciprocity particularly on those who have entered this country illegally we’re offering no incentive for assimilation and we’re not easing the burden for our fellow citizens who for what ever reason decided to live in Mexico.
ENOUGH OF THE ONE WORLD SOCIALISM ...BRING BACK SOVEREIGNTY AND SANITY TO OUR COUNTRY .....BRING BACK BELIEF IN GOD ...THIS GOVERNMENT OUT OUR FACE..... OUR RELIGIONS..... AND OUR BEDROOMS..
We need more . MANY more!
Politico. These people routinely lie to achieve certain goals. I don’t believe a word they write.
Just to counter the ...’conservatives’... on FR.
Supporting Libs is conservative isn’t it? I am screamed at that it is to this day. So it must be true...
LOL...they all scream for “just wait until 2014-2016” blah blah blah, and meanwhile, our “lesser of 2 evils” are deciding if they are going to destroy our country for big money....or not.
30 million(amnesty with chain migration)
Crooks conspiring in secret.
Sleaze.
Hey, its lesser evil so what could go wrong?
Last night I read a number of mental midgets defending the lesser evil BS with the same old tired crap that logically, REQUIRES us to keep supporting the GOP to get it...and then in the very same posts, bitching about the GOP.
I swear I am about done with it all. We are too stupid to survive as a political entity. There are a handful of people willing and unfortunately, ABLE to think past the nose on their face.
Are ‘we’ really smarter than the DU idiots? I no longer think so. Collectively we are no different and fully willing to excuse our massa;s in the GOP misleadership.
There is boneheads two step....we will pass a bill, it will go to conference and get swallowed up in the senate bill and passed by the entire house.
GFY Bonehead.
Hey, Cantor, learn to speak in plain English. Just say, we got to get in the pandering, vote-buying game with the Dims.
” I swear I am about done with it all. We are too stupid to survive as a political entity.”
Heck, you are indeed the optimist.
The GOP is finished, barring a flat no vote on any amnesty.
I’m wondering if we are “too stupid to survive as a SPECIES” : )
The only thing the House MUST do is KILL THE BILL!!!!!
Circular firing squad forming up.
