Instead, a bill sponsored by Cantor and Goodlatte, tentatively named the KIDS Act, legalizing illegal aliens who came to the country as children, will also be approved, and then become the actual bill that is sent to conference. Once it gets to conference, House Republicans will no longer be able to stop it: only a simple majority of conferees from each chamber will be needed to get the reconciled “Conference Report” floor votes in both the House and the Senate. This will allow House GOP members to claim they are tough on enforcement, even as Boehner will appoint conferees who can be counted on to embrace the Senate’s position on amnesty.

This is the guy that Arizonans thought was too liberal to replace John McCain.
A number of FReepers expressed the same opinion in 2010, when John McCain received the nomination to serve for another six years as Senator from Arizona.
Whew, close call. They could have been stuck with a Conservative.
Stop all Welfare, raise wages as taxes are cut, and add Tariffs to stop the flow of Foreign crap.
All THREE at the same time; and, deport ALL Illegals. Each American can pay $500 (including those on Welfare), and we ship them back where they came from...;.put the U.S. Military on the border to Mexico, and we stop the drug traffic AND the baby-droppers and wetback farm labor. Mine the Southern Borders.
Of course, with the CIA heavily-invested in arms and drug trade, this will NEVER happen.
The Democrat Party could not vote to implement NAFTA due to the Unions being a huge part of their constituency and the Republic Party always fought to implement NAFTA in the late 90's but it completely disappeared from the American political debate during the second Bush presidential term. The Democrat's being good globalists have found their prize in new voters/citizens (replace the abortion demographics opposed to the traditional family now producing more babies in the conservative camp); the Republicans have always been for big business and strong defense. Implementing NAFTA will allow US Forces to stamp out the Cartels in Mexico, and allow Canada-US-Mexico to create super-agencies to tighten controls.
Eventually, the North American Free Trade ZONE will extend the reach of currency (America's Dollar) Southward to Argentina.
There will be a total of 5-7 trade zones globally within 25-years, all with open boarders and a single currency.
Implementations for global security and commence, and control are already well discussed in the run up to both the EU and NAFTA talks!
Everyone but the GOP knows that this is just amnesty.
So instead, legal American citizen taxpayers will be held liable for the illegal acts of millions because YOU failed to enforce existing laws. This has cost America dearly... and now they want to make it a permanent arrangement. Makes me sick.
They pretend to resist it for 6 months (pissing off liberal voters) then cave and embrace it (pissing off everyone else).
100% piss off rate. Good job Karl. Take a bonus.
Glad I’m old. Feel so sorry for those under 50. Your path from here does not look inviting at all.
The 20 and 30 somethings are in even bigger trouble.
We need a new party.
and WHAT...DO...I...GET?
“children should not he held “liable for illegal acts of their parents.””
What nonsense. If you benefit from a crime, such as receiving stolen goods, even if you didn’t know it was stolen, the stolen goods still get confiscated. These kids are sharing in stolen residency or citizenship.
As a naturalized citizen, who walked a 25 year road to get here, this is a massive insult to me. Way to make it cheap and easy if you are a criminal.
Kick them all out. Send Mexico the bill for repatriating them.
Eliminate welfare, food stamps, section 8 housing and there will be americans lined up to take “the jobs americans won’t do”!!!
Enforce current labor laws and the illegals will self deport!
Held liable? No one is holding them liable. Few seriously suggest deporting them to a country they barely or don't remember being in.
But should they be rewarded for their parents crimes? Cause that's what the DREAM Act does, Eric. You may as well go down to the border and literally lay out a welcome mat.
I just sent Cantor a very pointed email expressing my opinion of his support of any DREAM-like acts.
Cross it and see what happens.
GOP ready to lose next election by large margins
What difference would it really make if they had D’s or R’s by their names at this rate?
Maybe the GOPe should ALL be voted out of office.
