House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has hired Rebecca Tallent to work on immigration reform. She is currently the immigration policy director at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
"The Speaker remains hopeful that we can enact step-by-step, common-sense immigration reforms -- the kind of reforms the American people understand and support," said Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner. "Becky Tallent, a well-known expert in this field of public policy, is a great addition to our team and that effort."
According to her BPC bio, Tallent has worked as a policy aide on immigration and energy issues to Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). She has served as chief of staff for McCain's office and senior policy adviser to his 2008 presidential campaign.
The hire is likely to spark speculation about Boehner's plans with regard to immigration reform, which passed the Democratic-led Senate earlier this year but has stalled in the Republican-led House.

Exactly.
And Worse than that, in my opinion....
Boehner is trying to help Obama get ObamaCare off the front page by starting a war over immigration.
Let’s show them conservatives can walk AND chew gum at the same time.

Swell. Another McCain recommended expert like O'Bagy, the fake Ph.D. foreign policy expert. Remember, O'Bagy was brought in to write a shill report as cover for the Syrian invasion that McCain coveted. Tallent would seem to be a similar tool to give cover for what they want to do anyway.
Boehner's got to go. Support Eric Gurr to oust John Boehner in OH-8
Also, press your Representative to NOT support Boehner for Speaker.

Yep.
Here it comes again.
The STUPID PARTY in action.

Democratic voters that lead everyone to serf level living.
This is an attack on jobs and wages. They are pushing for desperate people working at ultra low wages.
It’s an attack on YOUR job and YOUR wage.
America...WAKE UP!

Boehner is once again discussing Terms Of Surrender to the DEMs. The only consistency within GOP Leadership these days it seems is giving up or selling out. I guess the question now is how much did he sell us out for?

Excuse me, but we're already being forced to cover the health care costs of millions of American freeloaders. How could they possibly talk about adding millions more? Who going to pay for them? Who's going to pay to house them? Feed them? Educate them? Pay for their obomaphones? Their computers and net access? Who's going to buy their microwaves and air conditioners? Their designer clothes from the local mall? Who's going to give them their free entertainment allowance?
The Republicrats (RINOs and Marxists) use us as slaves to further their own lives of power and privilege. They don't treat us tax payers as humans anymore. When they look at us, all they see are dollar signs.

immigration reform = IMMIGRATION SURRENDER
