It's nice that people have caught on to this "de-facto amnesty" line! I knew that was a well thought out talking point from the moment I heard it (or actually repeatedly heard it) from Marco Rubio's mouth.

I'm also very glad to see that this arrogant congresswoman has a primary challenge!

[House Atreides]

It’s VERY clear that she has sold her integrity to the GOPe and the “modern” Chamber of Commerce types.

I supported her (within my limited financial means) election. I’ll now support her TRUE Tea Party challenger now.

Oh yeah? Who is going to stop them?

“Laura, my point there is someone isn’t just going to walk into an office and walk out with earned legal status,” Ellmers added a short time later.

They will be able to if you get your way, you liar.

Ellmers, a Republican, is talking ragtime nonsense to please the GOPe leadership and her farm lobby supporters who want cheap labor.

Libs are tolerant only if you agree with them.

I heard that conversation this morning. Ellmers was embarrassingly bad. Laura didn’t even seem to intend to go after her, but she couldn’t even defend herself without spitting out Democrat talking points. The truth is, there really is not opposition to amnesty in Washington other than the people we sent there in 2010, and Ellmers was one of those. It’s a scary situation. Basically, what they’re showing us is that wishes of the Republican base are entirely irrelevant, whenever the Chamber and their checkbooks disagree with us.

and this woman got some of my tea party money in 2009-10 (along with stutzman, another disappointment). it’s just so hit and miss without a conservative party.

She’s correct: The illegals are NOT paying taxes.

However, they are filing tax returns because they have learned that they can get Earned Income Credits & get a large’ refund (payout) from the Federal government.

IRS finally admitted that they have paid out BILLIONS in such payments to illegals in each of the past few years.

Filing a tax return when you are here illegally is like pulling $$$ out of an ATM.....only this isn’t their money—it is yours & mine.
