BOEHNER TOUTS IMMIGRATION REFORM: 'THE SOONER WE DO IT THE BETTER'
Breitbart ^ | 9/18/14 | CAROLINE MAY

Posted on 09/18/2014 1:44:09 PM PDT by jimbo123

America’s immigration system is a “mess” and reforming it would help the economy, House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday.

Speaking at the American Enterprise Institute about “resetting America’s economic foundation” Boehner addressed immigration reform when asked by a member of the audience.

“Yeah, I think immigration reform would help our economy, but you’ve got to secure the borders first — we’ve got a mess and I think everybody knows we’ve got a mess. Our legal system is broken, our borders aren’t secure. And then we’ve got the problem of those that are here without documents,” Boehner said.

“It needs to be fixed,” he continued. “We’re a nation of immigrants. The sooner we do it the better off the country would be.”

Just as guilty as Obama for this "mess" we're in.

Keep it up, John. You’re steering your party toward irrelevancy with a firm hand.

No, we’re a nation of LEGAL immigrants. There is a difference, which obviously the GOP-E will not recognize.

With this current state of the GOP, my interest and enthusiasm towards the November elections continues to dwindle to virtual nothingness.

And the continuing budget bill they passed yesterday goes thru part of December, giving them time to pass legislation during the lame duck session, without having to worry about those pesky voters.

Law enforcement is the furthest thing from this a-hole’s mind. He wants “reform” which is essentially amnesty.

For the last 40 years The Party of Government (RINO wing and ‘Rat wing both) has done all it can to replace American voters with Mexicans.

Success is within its grasp.
