The White House is getting ready to launch a major fall blitz for immigration reform...
While Washington may be consumed in the latest continuing resolution crisis and debt ceiling drama, it’s also just days away from massive new push on an issue many had written off months ago.
[snip]
The political imperatives driving the latest immigration effort are clear: Obama can’t just abandon an issue that he promised to deliver on during his last campaign without suffering a major backlash from activists who helped elect him, and congressional Democrats are anxious to make sure Latino voters are motivated to punish Republicans at the polls in the 2014 mid-term election if there’s no law on the books by then.

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
Thanks SatinDoll.
I suspect it is really all about political donations and sweetheart deals under the table.
All politicians will tell you that money, and lots of it, is needed to run a political campaign for office. Those donations usually come with strings attached.
As for the sweetheart deals, it costs money to live in the nation’s capitol. A loan with a very low interest rate really helps a family man - until the loan organization threatens to call in the loan unless you vote a certain way!
Savez-vous?
It’s most likely both blackmail AND money. Regardless of the source of Conservative-Turned-RINOism, it’s nothing a good private investigator couldn’t find. Sex with prostitutes, money, a ménage a trios with the esteemed colleague across the aisle and HIS prostitute, money, cross-dressing in your prostitute’s lingerie, money... How hard could it be to find?
Gary Hart comes to mind here...
Bingo! What about this did the electorate not understand last November. . Sometimes I shake my head so much, it starts to ache. I just about am at the end of my rope as to what we can do. . besides RII. When I think of my kids and grandkids, I tear up and think we have to do something. . Hope the Cruz, Lee, Palin team can rally the troops as we focus on 2014. I'm excited but worried about 2014. I tell ya, if 2014 is a disappointment with rampant voter fraud, same MSM bias, same old 'machine' determining the elections, etc, I don't think we have any other choice than. . . Venting here. . Thanks for reading. Just have to tell someone what's on my mind. Appreciate Free Republic so much.
From a prior LucyT post:
NOTE: Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote. Imagine that.....
In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. A mathematical and statistical impossibility.
* In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations -- and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. Another statistical impossibility.
* In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.
* In St. Lucie County Florida, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.
* The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie County Florida, had a 158% voter turnout.
* Palm Beach County, FL had a 141% voter turnout.
* In one Ohio county, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.
This president is not expected to act like a U.S. President so no one is stopping his crimes... Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Michelle, Axelrod, Cass and other (Communists/Socialists) will provide cover of riots and protests should less than the entire House demand his removal.
We have to do an all out full court press to investigate and remedy the rampant voter fraud that has infected our nation from now until November, 2014. Work with your states to require a photo ID to vote. Such a duh, but they will fight it. .
We have just begun to Fight!
Gary Hart didn’t care what people thought of him.
Not too long ago there was a party on Senator Machin’s yacht (D-WV) and Republicans were invited. The Democrats liquored up the Republicans thoroughly, then brought whores on board. The women pawed the Republicans and photos were taken.
That, my dear, is one of the ways it happens. Such photos are dynamite against a conservative Republican when used in his district. The poor slob doesn’t have a chance.
Republicans must not succumb to the seductive arguments about being friends with journalists or Democrats. They are our political enemies who will do anything to destroy reputations and lives.
Hmmmm. You might have something there..
I used the Gary hart reference only as an example of how easy it would be to find the dirt because of their arrogance.
Worse yet is McAmnesty and Grahmnesty joining with Hussein. Then there’s Boehner who time after time buckles and gives the left whatever they want. Few other than Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have spines.
Yep, that’s all the man child p_resident and his bunch in the White Hut are capable of. Great administration! They will go down in history as the RATs & Commies that destroyed the USA. Ba$tards!
Yeah, exactly HOW do they become tax PAYERS and not tax-ABSORBERS?
Aren't 99.9% of these "hard workin' folks" going to be immediately eligible for all kinds of taxpayer provided goodies?
Riddle me that please,Senator Paul.
I wish Iran would stop screwing around and just nuke DC already.
Bingo! And when you ask them to tell you one thing he has done for THEM, all they can say is “obamacare”. Ask them to explain why obamacare is good and they’ll “Just because.” It’s amazing how much they love this muslim. I hope everyone of them, or their families, has a run in with a jihadist.
You got that right!
Post of the day in my opinion.
Nearly time for a revolution???
What the hell it’s non stop with these birds.
We stand a little better now than we did last time amnesty came up in 2007. Back then we the President (GWB) allied with a Dem-controlled House and Senate. And we succeeded in thwarting the Bush legacy of annesty. This time we have engough Tea Party folks in the House to mess up the whole thing.
Careful what you wish for.
I think the Republicans were the whores.
I hope so.
