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.
According to the DOJ under Eric Holder, approximately 20% of the illegals in this country are serious, hard core criminals who merit deportation
Even under the laughably bogus lowball 11 million person estimate of illegals in US, that gives 2.2 million criminal illegal aliens who need to be deported
Why can’t these IDIOTS leave well enough alone?
Because they are either owned by K Street oe blackmailed by the same donoracracy whores. That is it in one simple sentence.
HELL NO !!!!
Finish the wall first. Any sanctuary cities will need to become non-sanctuary cities. State laws interfering with the identification and arrest of illegals and their transfer to ICE custody must end.
Why can’t we just have a civil war to the death?
Emailed the white house - NO to the Amnesty (IN CAPS)!
Trump is the Last President.
What could go wrong?
AMNESTY? AGAIN? You mean like the three prior “last time” amnesties?
NO! And, any damn pubbie that supports this crap should be tarred, feathered, and run out of DC on a splintery rail.
This is madness! Insanity, by definition.
ah, no.....
NO!
<>We have to elect better Republicans.<>
By all means, let’s do that.
But, if we want Senators to conduct themselves as the Framers intended, the 17th Amendment must go. There is no alternative.
Oh HELL no!
Isn’t Tillis a long-term back of the Bushes? As I recall Jebbie campaigned for him in the first Senate race.
Cornyn is up for re-nomination on March 3; his opponents lack the vital name I. D.
Ronald Reagan set in motion the forces that will destroy this country with his 86 amnesty. American conservative history writers will not be kind to him for that.
Want to lose badly in 2020 GOP? Repeat Reagan greatest mistake.
“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 ... “
As if all that can be ascertained on a multitude of people with no paper trail.
Yep, just enough to permanently change voter demographics and the original, traditional country will disappear from history for ever.
How can anyone be so freaking stupid?
Ask me how surprised I am to see Lankford’s name pop up here, the sleazy bastard.
James Lankford, whom you presumably know by now is the junior US Senator from Oklahoma, is pure sleaze.
He's a carpetbagger from Texas who couldn't get elected to office in Texas, so he used his connections as a Southern Baptist to cross the Red River and get elected first to the State legislature and then to the US Senate.
He talks the talk well enough, but he's on the Cheap Labor Express(tm) fo sho.
IOW he's a total chickenhsit.
