Speaker John Boehner’s decision to hire a well-known advocate of immigration reform is raising concerns among the House’s most ardent opponents of legislation.

Boehner this week announced he was bringing on Rebecca Tallent, a former chief of staff to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who has worked on multiple comprehensive proposals that would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

Hey Boehner: AMERICANS don’t want amnesty, illegals and huge corporations do. If you’re ready to retire and finish collapsing the GOP, push amnesty down our throats for your Democrat masters.

I truly can’t believe that anyone in the stupid party is buying the Rat talking points about amnesty being the only way Republicans can win. Stupid!

Anyone that was remotely tied to McCain tells me its bad. Get rid of her along with the rest of the Rhinos. Looks like Boehner is planning on his exit.

This article needed a little fixing.
