Senator Thom Tillis and other liberal Republicans are hell-bent on turning our rural communities into pipelines for cartel drug trafficking and criminal aliens. Rather than holding vote after vote on ridding our communities of sanctuary cities and dangerous criminal alien gangs and drug traffickers, liberal Republicans like Thom Tillis are working on, amazingly, more amnesty for illegal aliens. The North Carolina senator evidently doesn’t think that the Tar Heel State is turning blue like Virginia as quickly as he would like. He also believes that now that he lied about being tough on illegal immigration in order get Trump’s endorsement and scare away a primary challenger, he can go back to screwing his voters.
Two GOP staffers have informed me that Sen. Tillis, along with Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), began working this Wednesday on an effort to get Trump’s support for a mass amnesty bill that passed the House last year. Rosemary Jenks, government relations director of Numbers USA, which is opposing the bill, confirmed to me that those are the three leaders of the potential bill in the Senate. Conservative HQ, a publication run by legendary conservative Richard Viguerie, reports that Tillis is expected to be the lead Senate sponsor and that Vice President Pence’s PAC is rumored to be supporting this bill. I’ve heard the same from my sources in the Senate as well.
Tillis has already publicly praised the bill, and according to my sources, has met with Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, along with several other GOP senators, to plan support for the bill. Notably, nobody from the DHS was present at the meeting to offer the border security perspective on the bill.
On December 11, House Democrats passed the Orwellian-named Farm Workforce Modernization Act (H.R. 5038). In plain English, it grants amnesty to every illegal alien in this country who claims to have worked at least part-time for agriculture and creates an unlimited agriculture guest worker program for the future to bring in millions of low-skilled workers. The cultural and fiscal costs are never factored in. It permanently tethers green cards for people coming in on these H-2 visas to the condition of working in agriculture for 10 years, creating an indentured servant model that, as Mark Krikorian observes, will prevent farms from ever modernizing and mechanizing their process because of the boundless flow of cheap labor.
What is so offensive about this bill is that the very reason these people are in the country to begin with is because we were lied to, including by some of the very same members of Congress who were there in 1986. Back then, they gave amnesty to 2.7 million illegal aliens, including 1.1 million who worked in agriculture, on the promise that future illegal immigration would be choked off by prohibiting illegal alien work in America. They pocketed the amnesty and then turned around and downright blocked enforcement of any of the laws and today are openly criminalizing enforcement in sanctuary states while encouraging illegal alien employment.
Bzzzzzzzzzttttttttt! NO!
BUSH LEAGUE REPUBLICANS MUST BECOME EXTINCT BEFORE THE REPUBLIC DOES!
A bad scenario would be if Trump wins but the Senate turns blue and the house remains Rat infested. One way or the other the commies will take full control of everything and I can’t see any other conclusion than an outright civil war. Cause these crazies will be thinking payback.
Please correct me if I’m wrong: Republicans, including Ronald Reagan himself, later regretted the 1986 amnesty.
They might have the votes to pass it.
Our only hope is a veto.
Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Capito, Lee, Romney, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Daines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.
We have to elect better Republicans.
Ones that side with the citizens, the rule of law and the Constitution.
Quite a few of them quit out of the House.
We have an opportunity to take back the House with better Republicans.
We have to replace the Amnesty Senators.
Wants to bring back the plantation state. Pick a bail of cotton pick a bail a day.
Reagan regretted it, his successors took it and ran with it to turn the USA into North Mexico against the will of the citizens.
Republicans like Yeb!, Romney, Graham, Rubio have made their career out of it.
Good way to get primaried.
Look, you three slime wads, go back to painting your nails or whatever it is you do with your time--it sure ain't doing any work beneficial to the well-being of this country.
Good to know what Graham, Lankford and Tillis are up to instead of engaging the ongoing coup against POTUS: amnesty.
This is most likely a DOA campaign season kabuki bill for the benefit of GOP donors but we must stay vigilant.
A bad scenario would be if Trump wins but the Senate turns blue and the house remains Rat infested.
I expect the GOP to hold the Senate in 2020 but the Senate is almost certainly going to the Dems in 2022 because the map is just brutal for GOP. So he needs to get as much done as possible in the first two years of his second term.
Amnesty might be okay in some circumstances, and I think it wouldn’t be opposed...long time employed people, not on welfare, no criminal charges, not even child-support violations ... but the Dems want to throw open the gates and take in as many dysfunctional Dem voters as possible.
So it’s Dems who have to be “under scrutiny.”
Sorry for the profanity
Same old lying cowards involved here led by that worm Graham. I can’t imagine what Trump will have to put up with in his next term. I feel very sorry for him and his family. He still thinks he can save our country but I think it’s too late.
