Establishment Republicans like John Boehner depend on corporate donations to win their elections, and corporations want as much immigration as possible, legal or otherwise, to keep down the price of labor.
So no wonder John Boehner is saying positive things about immigration at this crucial time of soliciting donations in the election cycle.
However, the majority of Republican voters don’t want immigration, precisely because they don’t want the price of their own and other Americans’ labor to be held down.
With the growth of the Tea Party and other Conservative groups, Conservative candidates who are on the side of their voters in opposing immigration will have more funds available this year to counter their corporate-sponsored Establishment-Republican opponents in the Republican primaries.
That’s why Mitch McConnell and his fellow RINOs are being overtaken in the polls by their Conservative opponents. If they vote for amnesty to please their corporate donors, they’ll fall even further behind. So let’s hope they do, but that amnesty doesn’t pass.
Which is why the ‘lesser evil’ thing is so insidious. And why people pushing it are every bit as evil as Obama.
The idea was that you elect RINOs as they will side with you occasionally. And they do. When it DOES NOT matter. Instead, the lesser evils that were pushed so hard here and elsewhere side with the Dems CONSISTENTLY on the big existential issues like illegals.
If we had Nancy Pelosi as the GOP leader, she would have made NO difference since Bhoner mirrors her at crunch time.
