GOP to try again on border

BOHICA Boehner attempts to throw another game.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Don’t we already have laws about our border? Why fool around and make more of them that will not be enforced. That’s some goofy ****. Too many politician in the District of Corruption are doing too many “recreational” drugs.

[ealgeone]

Keep the phone lines melting.

Amnesty or even any hint of it is a deal breaker.

The bill should include two provisions:

1) Deportation of all illegals 2) Secure the border through whatever means necessary

No other provisions required. The whole bill should not be more than two pages long.

[Guenevere]

Bttt

[Vigilanteman]

Never exchange something concrete (like funding) for something likely to be broken (like administration promises). At most, make progress payments as certain promised actions are carried out.

It is like dealing with a crooked contractor.

[RIghtwardHo]

VERY well said.

[Prospero]

Watching CSPAN, it was clear something was back in the pipeline. The Old New Left haters, on their side of the aisle, are lined up to screech their opposition so something is up.

Thanks for finding a report. There's ZERO information everywhere else, yet, and that's always a bad sign.

If Louis is for it, I like to hope the House can win some points with the voters, though it's clear whatever happens Obama wants to play the "Do Nothing Congress" card.

Washington is WAY underestimating the discontent of mid-term voters and the will of the majority.

“If all goes well, the GOP will have a new message for the August recess — they’ve now formally warned the president that he should go no further than he’s already gone in granting executive amnesty. If he goes ahead and issues a mega-amnesty for adult illegals in September anyway, it’ll look more like outright defiance of the will of one branch of Congress than Congress “refusing to act” or whatever. That might help, however marginally, in the messaging war that follows.”

why are the House democrats pushing HR15 for a vote ???

Sounds promising. A bill that actually addresses the problem AND is politically costly for Dems to oppose.
...35 million for National Guard troops at border.

Be interesting to see how Boehner spoils everything.

[Uncle Chip]

Not one more dime and not one more law —

[Resolute Conservative]

Enforcing laws on the books prevents government from growing and obtaining complete control. Their plan is to usher in a new totalitarian regime.

The senate has already adjourned for summer recess. This is just for show now and Cornyn and McConnell and Rubio won’t have to take a position on stopping Obama’a administrative amnesty scheme.

The schools have no choice when it comes to providing K-12 education. Supreme Court made that mandatory with Plyler vs Doe in 1982. In Fairfax County, Virginia they pay $104 million a year for ESOL instruction for 31,000 students.

*******

That 1982 Supreme Court ruling is the reason we need Constitutional amendments like the following to try to control illegal immigration:

1. "School attendance: Only citizens, legal residents, those with special student visas can attend elementary, high school, and colleges in the United States."

2. "One parent must be a citizen before a newborn child is given automatic citizenship."

3. Felony: We must finally declare that crossing the border illegally is a felony.

Illegal parents come to the United States for the wonderful benefits that their children can receive, like a quality education and great health care. Can you blame them for making the dangerous, long trip with their young children, or sending their children by themselves with the hope that the United States will automatically let them stay?

I don't understand how a child can illegally cross the southern border one day and automatically be eligible to enroll in public school the next day. That is wrong.

why are the House democrats pushing HR15 for a vote ???

So the Senate can attach their gang of eight amendment. That's what Cruz is saying, that any border bill will be transformed in the Senate. Of course the media doesn't report that little glitch.

[Tennessee Nana]

Charles Rangel just equated the illegal aliens to the Jews on the SS St Louis...

[VRWCarea51]

Maybe so, but when the Senate comes back it will take this legislation, gut it, attach the Scamnesty Legislation the Senate has aready passed and then ram it thru conference. Regardless of what BOHICA Boehner says now.

It will then have to be voted on by the House. All the rats and some Peter King (NY) type sniveling RINOS will help it pass.

Then we are screwed.

[Tennessee Nana]

my concern is that when they were all due to leave last night some of the Republicans couldn’t change their schedules and stay...

the Democrats are acting like they are about to win...

do we have enough votes still left in Washington to stop Harry Reid and his senate bill on so called “comprehensive immigration reform” whatever that means ???

[Tennessee Nana]

Tom Cole just made a resolution and for the voice vote it sounded like there were twice as many Democrats there than Republicans..
