Two Illinois Republicans considered among the nation’s most vulnerable congressional incumbents are breaking from their party and its outspoken presidential nominee, Donald Trump, to push laws that would include a path to citizenship for people living in the country illegally.
Rep. Bob Dold and Sen. Mark Kirk joined GOP Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida and business leaders at an event Wednesday in Chicago. They argued comprehensive immigration reform would help the economy, ensure companies have the workers they need and is the right thing to do.
“It’s about people before politics,” said Dold, whose district north of Chicago is home to large numbers of Hispanic voters and Fortune 500 companies. “We need to fix a broken system.” …

Two more members for the new GOP-V (Vichy)
I will be voting in Illinois this year and I will vote libertarian instead of Mark Kirk. I would love to vote against Bob Dolt, but I am not in his district.
It’s too bad these crooked bastards won’t give Americans a say in the DemocRATS’ “immigration” scheme.
does that mean they favor no borders?

Cheap Labor Express stooges
Every multi-national politician must be removed from office before they give away our country.
Have these two guys been asleep all year? “Help! I’m drowning! Someone throw me an anvil!”
“We need to fix a broken system.” …

You guys broke it with a 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement.
The flooding of the country with 30 million illegal aliens was INTENTIONAL.
BS, it's about pandering, cowardly politicians before US citizens.
Saying “cowardly” means that there’s an intent on the part of such politicians to actually do the right thing, but some other vicious power is “cow(ing)” them and preventing them from doing so. No; they do this of their own will and out of their own greed and lust for power.
People before politics, eh? What about the REAL people these turncoat creeps swore to serve, and the Constitution they swore to defend and protect?
Obviously, Trump is the only one who cares enough about American Citizens to take the tough positions and battle to win. Any dead fish can float downstream.
