Exclusive: House GOP Leaders Trick 216 House Republicans into Accidentally Supporting Obama's

In a lengthy interview on Friday afternoon, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) exposed how House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise strengthened President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty with procedural trickery former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber would envy—and they did it all in the name of pushing a bill that they told Republicans would block Obama’s executive amnesty.

What’s more is that a series of interviews and recent developments indicate that Boehner’s gambit here is placing several of his top lieutenants—including at least two committee chairmen—at political risk of serious primary challenges just a few months after newly elected Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) beat now former House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) in a Republican primary.

Gohmert said most members had no idea what they were actually voting for when 219 members—216 of which were Republicans—approved a measure, H.R. 5759, first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), but subsequently dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process.

“I was a cosponsor of the original Yoho bill. I thought it was a very decent bill, it was very short—it was only about a page and a half—and it basically said that anything the president did in violation of current law including what he’s done with ordering work permits for people who are illegally here, it’s illegal,” Gohmert said.

None of this makes sense to me. Yes, I understand that the donks think they are acquiring a compliant voter pool. How long do they think these new *citizens* are going to compliantly vote for old whites? As soon as they understand our system and how to play it, they are going to organize and elect their own.

White liberal elites are being played too...

You're right that 'illegals' - when their numbers are high enough - will vote in their own leaders. They'll vote white liberal elites out of office.

The assumption that bringing in large numbers of illegals will prop up white liberal elites for the long term is wrong. We know it. They know it. It's a short term strategy to get illegals in the door. Why?

The meme's directed at (liberal) useful idiots - people who want to think they're cool because 'they're so open minded'. This tactic is being used in most Western countries - - most often using Arabs rather than Hispanics...

The force that's behind these seemingly irrational decisions understands what they're doing... and on that level it makes sense. We're just not on that level.

So are you saying this is just the newest iteration of the European “separate blood from soil” in the search for *peace*.

IIRC, the French made a deal with the oil sheiks to take unlimited migrants in return for a good deal on oil. Now, the Islamists have their own fiefdoms within France and the French right is gaining in electoral popularity. So, balkanizing the nation led to the sort of simmering tensions forever associated with the Balkans.

Why would “corporate owners” want something like that? Are they progressive socialists who dabble in capitalism? They live in the same country that we do. They experience the same effects from this unlimited immigration as anyone else.

What is in it for them, besides “feeling good about themselves” as “open-minded” people?

I cannot see the upside for anyone. Sure, for the migrants, there is a subsidized upward mobility, but after a few generations, I suspect they sort out into all economic classes, just as any previous immigrant group. Once an immigrant group is in the country (any country) long enough, they have to realize that they will rise and fall along with that country as a whole.

You wrote:”The force that’s behind these seemingly irrational decisions understands what they’re doing... and on that level it makes sense. We’re just not on that level.”

Can you be more specific? I am dense. I still don’t get it.
