Boehner’s Amnesty Advocate Becky Tallent in Talks with Jeb Bush Campaign for Immigration Adviser Gig
breitbart.com ^ | 2/13/15 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 02/13/2015 11:31:10 AM PST by cotton1706

House Speaker John Boehner’s on-staff amnesty advocate Becky Tallent is in talks with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s potential presidential campaign for a job, meaning if she takes it she’d leave Boehner’s office.

Tallent is former chief of staff to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)—having personally crafted the amnesty bill McCain and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) introduced in the twilight years of the George W. Bush administration—and then also worked on immigration policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center.

“Jeb’s team is looking to hire Rebecca for policy,” a former George W. Bush White House aide told Breitbart News.

“The fact that they’re talking to Becky speaks to the focus that Jeb puts on getting immigration across the goal line,” a former senior staffer for McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign added.

Neither Tallent nor Jeb Bush’s spokeswoman Kristy Campbell have responded to requests for comment yet, but the mere fact that Bush world is discussing this openly means that Tallent is definitely interested. It’s not finalized, and there’s plenty of things that could derail the opportunity for her and for the Bush campaign. But nonetheless, the mere fact they’re talking is newsworthy—even if Boehner keeps her. If Boehner keeps her after this, it’d mean he is keeping someone on his staff who would even consider working for a politician who believes crossing the border illegally is an “act of love.”

Yes, but she'll resurface somewhere else in someone else's campaign. She's very valuable to the population replacement/amnesty crowd because she tells politicians what they want to hear and has credentials that allow them rationalize doing her bidding. She is to amnesty what Krugman is to Keynesian debt.

Textbook HILL RAT behavior.

What is to be done about the HILL RATS? These are the allegedly “professional” staffers who are so named because after the election their current boss loses, they scurry like rats to a new member – ANY MEMBER (his politics frequently don’t matter) – just to remain close to the power. Most are flaming liberals and, after the “experienced” staffer shows the new guy where the john is, because they have been up there for decades, far too many of these new members rely on them for how to vote and get along in the thoroughly corrupt system of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” that has caused the mess in which we now find ourselves.

IT GETS WORSE!

Let’s say the new guy needs an “expert” on tax policy. Well, son-of-a-gun, the professional staffer JUST HAPPENS to have a college chum who works at the IRS! Need an “expert” on education policy. Darned if that secretary he just hired doesn’t just have an old teacher friend who works over at the Department of Education!

NOW YOU KNOW WHY THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME – ESPECIALLY IN MALFUNCTION JUNCTION.

Looks like we will also need TENURE LIMITS on the Hill Rats with stiff penalties for breaking the rules!

I recently heard Gingrich tell Hannity that—horrors — the alleged Health Care Bill was almost certainly written at 3 am by 25 year-old liberal staffers, groggy on beer and pizza. Not sure why that was so shocking. HELL, that’s how nearly ALL the so-called legislation has been done up there for decades. It’s why there are two things one should never watch being made: SAUSAGE AND LAWS.

One of the KEY THINGS we all need to do BEFORE we get behind a new candidate to replace the 8 term retread who has sold us out nearly every term up there is to INSIST THAT HE DRAW HIS KEY STAFFERS FROM LOCAL FOLKS WHO MAY STILL HAVE A GRASP ON REALITY OUT HERE IN FLYOVER COUNTRY — THEN HOLD HIS FEET TO THE FIRE ON THAT PLEDGE — OR REPLACE HIM NEXT TIME!
 
Sadly, it’s the ONLY WAY THINGS WILL CHANGE UP THERE!!

Hey Jebbie, I'll be your immigration adviser. Build the fence. Deport all illegals. Let them apply for legal immigration. Test all immigrants for diseases. No welfare, food stamps, or free medical care for immigrants.

Thus endeth my advice. I'll bill you for my services.

Term limits wouldn't help. Anyone elected to DC would start preparing for their futures by selling out before they even unpacked. At this point, the only thing that would help is the collapse of the federal government.

It this woman leaves Boehner's staff and DC for the dead-end Jeb campaign, that's a positive. Get the traitor out of DC.

The Chamber of Cheap Labor has paid the GOP for amnesty and they mean to collect. The RNC/GOP traitors will not allow us to vote for anyone for President who actually WOULD enforce the laws or secure the border.
That has been true since 2000. Bush was saying “No Amnesty”, but he meant it the same way McCain does. I didn’t realize that until he said, “see you at the signing” in 2006 when they tried to pass amnesty.

Fat Becky wants the U.S. to be more Mexican.

How nice.

Maybe she can explain how a giant crime wave of drug wars and political corruption will be good for America.

Guess she doesn’t feel like she has to live in it. Maybe she has a vacation home in Switzerland she’s planning to flee to.

The rest of us are stuck with what she wants to dump on us.

We have to keep after those in Washington - keep writing, emailing against amnesty. And we should keep a list of the traitors who want to force this on our country. We just cannot surrender. At least we’ll know we tried.

I wouldn’t dream of surrendering.

This has been my sole focus for 15 years.

Mass immigration into the United States by third world aliens is what resulted in 9/11. If those same SOBs had walked down a street in the U.S. in 1965, everyone in town would have called them in to the police - who are these guys?

But in the insane world brought to us by the Kennedy’s in 1965, our historical enemies not only wander free in our country, they live here in squadron strength.

What nation lets their enemies live among them?

As for Mexico and Mexicans, we fought a war against them and then a police action in 1915. My great uncle fought with Pershing pursuing Villa. This is what led to the Border Patrol!

Mexico has had a vicious grudge ever since 1848. The famous Zimmerman Telegram is what got us into WWI finally - the threat of a German-Mexican invasion!

Fast forward 50 years to the mid-60’s and you have “Chicano” activists openly threatening terrorism if we don’t let them flood in, raise the Mexican flag and take political power!!

What’s that called in anyone’s book?! INVASION and TAKEOVER.

The people pushing this ARE traitors - handing over your country to a foreign and violent populace is Treason.

The numbers are stupendous. Tens of millions? There are towns we are now strangers in. IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!

Any other sensible nation would have gone to war over this a long time ago. But we are paralyzed now because of criticism by the Left - “it would be racist to stop them”.

So now Invasion is a Civil Right, but only if you’re non-white?

We are experiencing something that only the losers in mass warfare have ever experienced: an influx of a vengeful and murderous foreign populace, bent on dominance.

Why do we have to tolerate it?

And as Judas learned...at some point in the future, the money won't mean anything.

The wolves will be outside, baying for their heads.

Or perhaps coyotes, considering the ethnicity...!

Good points.

A nation can not survive if it fails to protect its borders - and it should be able to determine who is admitted. There are long list of reasons why amnesty is bad for the country: economic, environmental, national security, etc.

We parents are trying to teach our children to respect the law. Yet they see those who break our laws as being rewarded with special perks. This sends a bad message, promotes disrespect for laws.
