Horowitz: Senate Republicans looking to repeat 1986 amnesty, seeking President Trump’s support: Sources
Conservative Review ^

Posted on 02/17/2020 7:19:45 PM PST by TigerClaws

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.

This is a genuine threat.
The House has already passed it.

Sorry. Ted Kennedy (DEMOCRAT) told us in 1986 that there would be NO MORE AMNESTIES!!

Let’s keep the Democrats at least once to uphold their promise.

It doesn’t matter. Because whoever wins in 2024 will just pass the amnesty anyway.

Our government has already made this decision for us. They don’t give a damn what we want. Elections don’t matter. Both parties want open borders.

Let’s see: Trump gets reelected. Senate/house goes blue. He sits on his ass does nothing and quits at mid term and promises to run 3rd party on 2024. 65million+ supporters 3 way = POTUS again.

Reinforces why every state should have in place a legal mechanism to recall and or impeachment their Congressional Senators and House members. When they dishonor their oath of office and or fail to represent their constituents wishes, they should be removed ASAP as to minimize damage to our liberty and our Constitutional system of law.

If EITHER McCarthy or McConnell allow such a bill to be voted on in committee, other than a certain NO, everything we have worked for over the last 4 years goes up in smoke.

Its’ mere presence as an idea is a death knell for the Republican party.

If the Senate & House successfully gets a President to do this, only two (2) choices left...
  1. Vote for Bernie and bend over and spread your cheeks; or,
  2. Begin shooting.
Anything else would be a waste of time... IMHO...

Twice a many GOP as Dim Senate seats are up this year. The map in 2022 is a little tougher, but more seats are at risk this year.

The Senate is at risk this year.

I hope you got all the blog clicks you expected after triggering all the people that usually get triggered by unsourced works of fiction.

it makes the the forum unpleasant and semi-toxic, but hopefully someone got something out of your fact free hand grenade.

How to get rich as a public servant. Trash your district. Then be sure the needed federal funds to “solve” the problem you ve just created get appropriated. Your backers get their cut of said funds. They make sure you get your piece. It’s the federal merry go round for which We the People get the bill
