Cornyn: Immigration Reform Not Out of the Question in 2014
WOIA ^ | 1/13/14 | Jim Forsyth

Posted on 01/13/2014 11:36:45 AM PST by jimbo123

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tx) says he is optimistic that some sort of immigration reform can be considered and possibly approved by Congress this year.

But Cornyn told 1200 WOAI news it won't be the 'comprehensive' type of immigration reform that the White House is demanding.

"Particularly after the failure of Obamacare, the people are very skeptical of thousand page bills," Cornyn said.

He says there is talk among Senate Republicans of a 'bit by bit' approach, which could include an expansion in the visa program for people who attend and graduate from college in the United States.

No amnesty. No path to citizenship. No 3X increase in H1B Visas!

Issa says 2015, Cornyn and the Chamber of Crony Capitalists say 2014. And they blame the TEA party and conservatives for their problems.

Cornyn is an enemy of conservatives.

Donate to Steve Stockman’s primary campaign to defeat Cornyn, if you care about the country.

It is time for conservatives to start donating. Stop whining and contribute.

“Don’t you understans that a R shoving amnesty down your throat is OK cuZ it’s lesser evil but when the D does it it’s the apocalypse?”

I think many of us are sick unto death of the “lesser evil.”

If we could only get together and do something about it.

I joke that I am going to establish the Curmudgeon Party and run for office on the position, “This is Bullshit.”

I think, though, that the scatology would offend too many of the people that the Curmudgeon Party would hope to attract.

NO excuse whatsoever when they're from Texas and California like Cornyn and Issa, both of whom are FOR "Immigration Reform."

I hope enough of us are sick of lesser evil. The ONLY reason we can’t get out poop together is our own supposed members keep fighting those of us who are sick of lesser evil.

See last primaary for a perfect example played out over months.

Reform the Immigration Law:

Declare illegal entry or visa overstay a felony punishable with 10 years of hard labor collecting bear scat in Alaska’s Denali National Park.

But it’s LESSER EVIL! Onyx! We were told right here on FR that we ALWAYS have to give in and go along or we are supporting Obama.

So surely we have to reach across the asile and destroy what remains of America so our friends in the GOPe won’t be mad.

He is; he just doesn’t know it, yet.

There are enough other decent-to-good options. Cornyn will not get a majority in the primary, and lose in a runoff that won’t be all that close.

The Texas tea party types don’t like him and all the conservative groups will support almost anyone but Cornyn.

There's NO “LESSER EVIL” in this so-called “Immigration Reform.”

Vigorous enforcement of the current laws would solve the illegal alien problems, including deportation.

.... but you already KNOW that, too.
