Report: Boehner's Secret Amnesty Talks With Obama Revealed
Breitbart ^ | 11/7/14 | Caroline May

Posted on 11/07/2014 8:48:29 AM PST by jimbo123

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) warned President Barack Obama again against taking executive action on immigration Thursday, telling Obama he would be playing with matches and risk burning himself. “[H]e’s going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path,” the House Speaker said.

The Wall Street Journal reports that there was additional subtext to Boehner’s warning, specifically a year of discussions — unreported until now by the WSJ — between the two men about achieving a legislative compromise on immigration reform.

According to the report in the summer of 2013 Boehner and Obama began discussing ways to achieve a move forward with immigration and building trust. The WSJ notes they “bonded over a shared passion for golf.” Such confidence building included an ask by Boehner to Obama not to create additional hostility on the issue by publicly criticizing Republicans on immigration, something Obama agreed to do — according to the report — and did not go through with a series of 2013 trips to battleground states with large Hispanic populations.

Additionally, the WSJ reports, in November, Obama went along with the idea for Congress to adopt a step-by-step process to reform, rather than that type of massive bill passed by the Senate. The men also discussed ways to deal with the millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S.

The Gang Of 8 wants to push amnesty through the backdoor by piece meal measures under the radar.

They think the American people are stupid. If they kill this country by the death of a thousand cuts, that’s fine with them.

We need to remain vigilant.

Never trust a drunk. How many pictures have we seen of Boner & Obama together, with Obama plying him with booze?

...about achieving a legislative compromise on immigration reform.

No amnesty compromise is legitimate. They all amount to the same thing, enemy victory.

This is how RINOs betray the country.

Why is it that when Republicans in Congress think compromise, they always wind up with surrender?

Remember Boehner employed that “immigration reform” woman.
Unfortunately, I have long forgotten her name.

Boehner is one of the few D.C. wretched creatures whose word is less trusted than is the word of the Obamadork.

Put up or shut up, oh drunk one.

And, look up the word “seppuku”.

Learn it, love it, and DO IT, Obamahole.

call Congress 202-224-3121 : tell congress NO Amnesty
, no immigration bill of any Kind.

and tell them to stop Obama’s executive order for Amnesty for illegals. This issues decides all other issues because democrats don’t have to change minds they just import millions more liberals (how they turned California liberal)

Tongue or no tongue?

Notice the GREEN tie on bongo? I’m a little color blind but that looks green to me.

I thought for a minute yesterday that boner may be getting a spine but he is just the same as always... just another political bastard and a drunk.

America cannot yield to the corporate powers who think they can bring in an unlimited number of foreign workers for cheaper labor and without any consequences. Anyone who walks into those meetings is a traitor. Boehner is as stupid as obama if he thinks this won’t unleash the worst forces America has seen since the war between the states. Zero may want the revolution, but the pubbies are the ones playing with fire. I hate this orange-skinned ignoramus more than obama himself. At least I knew from the start where zero stood. A traitor is worse than an outright enemy.
