BACKGROUND:
In the dead of night after 2am this morning, Congressional leadership unveiled a more than 2,000 page 'omnibus' year-end funding bill which would, among other things: fully-fund the President's refugee expansion; fully-fund sanctuary cities; fully-fund the resettlement of illegal aliens youth and their families crossing the border; lock-in tax credits for illegal aliens; and quadruple the highly controversial H-2B foreign worker visa being used to replace Americans as truck drivers, construction workers, theme park employees, and in blue collar jobs across the nation.
Sessions, the Chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee, issued a statement about the bill as it speeds to a vote before it can be read, observing in part that GOP voters: "have come to believe that their party's elites are not only uninterested in defending their interests but - as with this legislation, and fast-tracking the President's international trade pact - openly hostile to them." On the floor today, Sessions further reminded his colleagues that their duty is the American people - not special interests, immigration advocacy groups, or lobbyists for narrow business concerns.
Sessions observed that - as the omnibus paves the way for a huge immigration increase beyond today's record-breaking highs - that more than 8 in 10 American voters want the level of immigration in American frozen or cut, and yet the GOP-led Congress is about to surge it even higher.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau - even without these increases - immigration will add the population equivalent of 1 new Los Angeles to the country each 3 years.
The U.S. has admitted 59 million immigrants since 1965. As historical context, after the numerically-smaller 1880-1920 immigration wave, future immigration was reduced to promote wage growth for US-born and immigrant workers: there was zero net growth in the foreign-born population over the course of the next half-century (in fact, it declined markedly). Now, after five decades of unprecedented immigration, the U.S. is on path to add another five decades of unprecedented immigration on top of that - setting new all-time records every single decade to come.

Either that or keel halued
We all need to calls our reps.
I’m thinking the want this in order to get everything they want before a new president takes over.
I think they realize it will not be any of their boys or Hillary.
I noticed the last couple of rallies Trump has had, the protesters of course, but Trump has said something that has really made we think:
“We should have been doing this (meaning protesting), we should have been doing this for a while now” and he’s right...would things have been different if we would have protested some of the places obuma has gone, where the House or Senate have gone?
Makes you wonder....I hope the people who voted for obuma not only once but twice are happy now, they have helped make a mess of a once Great Country....
As if Romney would have done much different.
You are blaming Americans for not voting for two evils, not smart.
In case you didn’t notice, the presidential election cycle is once every four years. And so you just might be able to understand that the frontrunner support for Donald Trump is the voter reaction along with Jeb Bush as GOPe choice at very low support.
Stop blaming Americans for a corrupt system. They are responding in the only way they can short of violence and they are not organized for that but will be if the status quo does not change.
There are not two evils
There is only one evil and imaginary figment
everyone needs to stop donating to the gop
Well did the corrupt system arrive by unicorn or did Americans act in ways that resulted in it becoming more corrupt?
Don’t be pissed at me for pointing out the facts of the matter. Truth often is hard to take. But it’s still the truth.
To clarify, If you don’t know, I am as anti Romney as it gets.
The statists in both parties are seeing the results of the last 2 congressional elections, are witnessing the Trump phenomenom, and of course, Congress’s approval ratings in the tank. These statists understand their power in DC is in jeopardy.
Instead of understanding their power is limited under our Constitution, they are doubling down on this massive immigration program so they can have future voters, as well as enough voters now, in order to influence elections to come so they can continue to hold on to power. It’s downright corrupt and traitorous what these people in Washington are doing. More and more Americans need to wake up and this cabal in Washington DC, by these more and more traitorous actions, are doing these things that harm Americans and not in this nation’s best interest but what is in this cabal’s best interest to hold on to power. These people in DC need to be held accountable if we are to save our country.
That’s why I’m hoping an Article V convention can include tribunals for all the abuse of power we are witnessing today and in the past. It needs to happen to bring these statists to justice and before they destroy the country we all know and love.

BTW, it is not the voters but the out-of-control federal government that is in open rebellion against its Ruler, the Constitution, the feds’ ONLY source and limitation of legitimate power and authority.
this was done IN YOUR FACE to tell us they will do whatever they want to do.. and they are in with obams against us. We would not know how deep this is without Trump on the scene.
You’re not pointing out any ‘truth’ except the false one you imagine in your head.
The system is corrupt, that’s a fact and it’s not the fault of ordinary Americans. Americans are just now waking up to it and that’s why outsiders are receiving so much support; that’s the ‘truth’ of the matter.
Trump is the RINO’s FAULT.
They keep funding 100% of 0bama’s programs, and then wonder why the Anti-Establishment Republican Presidential candidates are accumulating more than 75% of the support.
You can’t find STUPID this deep in a Kindergarten class.
Populism (Trump) is what Leadership gets when it sells out Constituents.
Then show with factual info where I made an incorrect statement. Should be a piece of cake.
Dunno why there aren't more independents out there.
The Gope has destroyed our country . Trump will now destroy them. This puts Trump over the top!!
Why do they hate us so much I find myself asking these days?
Get lost. I am not your gopher boy.
AAAMMMEEENNNNN
