RNC Chair: 'Broad Consensus' in GOP Want 'Comprehensive Immigration Reform'

Big Government ^ | 6/29/2013 | Tony Lee

A day after the Senate passed its immigration bill, RNC Chair Reince Priebus claimed there was "broad consensus" in the Republican party for "comprehensive immigration reform."

"We need comprehensive immigration reform," Priebus told CNN's Peter Hamby on Friday. "I don't think we can continue to drift along with this mess of immigration laws that we have. And a mess that in many regards has been the results of our government not even enforcing the laws that are in place. There is plenty of blame to go around for why we are in this position, but I think it's about time that we address it."

He then asserted it was "clear that there is pretty broad consensus in the party, in the Republican Party, that we need comprehensive immigration reform" and said he knew the House leadership is "committed" to drafting a comprehensive bill. 

Republican House leaders have indicated that they will not take up the Senate's bill, but have signalled they will draft "comprehensive" legislation they hope to pass in order to go to conference with the Senate. Conservatives, though, would like a narrower approach that focuses primarily on securing--and funding--border security first.

I'm with you, FRiend! The 1980's were a great time, thanks to President Reagan and Baroness Thatcher, among others.

We need to shake these appeasers off - they are done and should be relegated to the ashcan of History along with all the other parties that have risen and fallen during the course of our Republic.

I believe in my heart of hearts that there will never be another Republican President. Cut them loose now and form the new party while we still have the chance!

Either that or infiltrate the Pubbies and take it back. But the deep pocket corporatists have sunk their teeth deep into it now.

Preibus is such a frikkin’ pantload.

[ConorMacNessa]

I hear you, FRiend!

Frankly, I lack the subtlety to infiltrate much of anything - and therefore have always taken the direct approach.

The cyphers who remain in the Republican Party, IMO, would not be difficult to oust. It is the money that supports them and the Lame-stream media that "legitimizes" them that needs to be quelled.

My money, what little I have to spare, goes to causes I support unreservedly - FR, my parish, Pro-Life causes, etc.

They call it “comprehensive” reform yet the bill is 1200 pages long. Probably not that easy to comprehend.

Comprehensive, yes (especially the first half of definition 2). Comprehensible is not the goal.

The same party that gave us Romney, McCain, Bob Dole as candidates thinks we want amnesty? Screw you, GOPe!

[TennTuxedo]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting to get different results.

That is precisely what conservative voters have been doing with the GOP. We have been voting for the folks that the GOP leadership keep putting and telling us that they are conservatives.

The GOP crossed the bridge of no return and have left me behind. I will no longer support the GOP with my money and in many cases, my vote. I will be putting my money and my votes behind conservative candidates and if that means against the GOP mainstream candidate, then so be it. I hope others wake up and do the same.

[antceecee]

GOP & DNC should get married already... after the SCOTUS decision on DOMA - Gay marriage is all the rage... about time they “come out of the closet” and make it official!!!

[The_Media_never_lie]

Let the GOPe become the new wing of the Democrat party.

[fortheDeclaration]

No matter how many elections these guys lose they will also think it is because they were too conservative.

[lodi90]

Why do RNC losers like Priebus get re-appointed? Does anyone have an answer? Who is pulling the strings? Certainly not the grassroot supporters!

---

They have been whipped by the Dems/MSM and are flailing around. The consultants and chamber of commerce types are telling the GOP leadership what they want to hear on amnesty. They have always wanted amnesty. So they are going all in on amnesty rather than engage the Dems and be a credible opposition party.

[Diogenesis]

And they WANT ROmney’s ObamaCARE/DeathCARE
and they WANT Romney’s IMPOSED gay marriage
and they WANT Romney’s and Rove’s
backstabbing of conservatives.

WRONG. We will work against the GOP which
supports Obama.

[mosesdapoet]

Priebus,GOPES (gop elite snobs) and RINOS, are hyphenated me-toos who are running a hyphenated Americans campaign. Which they believe will bring Americans together. As they shut out the “Tea Party”. They’re incapeable of knowing that bread and butter issues bites every demographic in the pocket book and that is the way to reach your “demographics”.

[SC_Pete]

I stand corrected. thanks.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

These dolts lose two elections doing this and they continue to do it. I won’t support a losing party...bring on a new one. I know it splits the vote, but we are going to lose the next one again anyway...might as well be excited about it. I’m thinking the death of the RNC would be a fine victory rather than forever being in the losing side because of them.

What do their constituents want?

Their constituents need cheap(er) nannies, housekeepers and landscapers.

[machman]

All I know that when ever a politician says there is a “consensus” and something is “comprehensive”, there is a 100% chance that it is a bad idea....

Of course those two words are some of the ‘rats favorite words....

[central_va]

I think the strategy is to ditch the kooky base and attract replacement “moderates” from the Demonrat party. I plan on cooperating.

The Republican Party started in WI; it looks like a Wisconsinite with “white guilt” and liberal world-view is going to preside over its final demise.
