Immigration reform to gag on
Washington Times ^ | Friday, June 14, 2013 | Wesley Pruden

Sometimes the only antidote for poison is more poison. The body politic just can’t take it any more and throws up everything. The result would suit the Democrats just fine.

The Democrats pushing immigration reform want the issue, not the reform, and they think a defeat they could hang on the Republicans could give them a shot at keeping the Senate and taking the House next November. Then they could enact a law to give everybody who wants one an American passport. This would guarantee unanimous election results, like those in the squalid places the illegals are fleeing.

There’s lots for everybody to gag on, which is how Sen. Harry Reid, the Las Vegas bag man in charge of running the charade in the Senate, is determined to preserve as many poison pills as he can. He has to preserve as much of the stink as he can to keep the Republican gag reflex working.

The main sticking point continues to be border security, which the Democrats have been promising for decades - and the border continues to be the sieve they want it to be. The border can be the party’s ATM machine, stuffed full of prospective new voters. Once here, the illegals can be put in the Democratic voter bank to be “withdrawn” once they’re legalized. Until then, the Hispanics already here and legal are expected to show their gratitude in the usual way.

Andrea Tantaros that the immigration bill as written “has no chance” of passage. “If the border situation is not improved in this bill, this bill won’t pass. It won’t pass the Senate and it has no chance in the House. It won’t become law and we’re wasting our time.”

RE “If this bill has something in it that gives gay couples immigration rights and so forth,” Mark Rubio, perhaps suffering a fit of conscience, told a radio interviewer, “it kills the bill, and I’m done.” Mr. Rubio, who sometimes sounds like he wants to be a voice of sanity, told interviewer Andrea Tantaros that the immigration bill as written “has no chance” of passage. “If the border situation is not improved in this bill, this bill won’t pass. It won’t pass the Senate and it has no chance in the House. It won’t become law and we’re wasting our time.”
And that’s just the way President Obama and the Democrats want it. They can spend the year between now and next November drowning the Hispanics in foam and froth about the evil Republicans. It’s low, mean and cynical, but that’s how politics works, some of the time.”

Summary of above :
Dems want this bill to be killed because Hispanics control all future elections and will credit Dems for passage and blame Rs for its rejection .

Option A : Dems win
Option B : Dems win
Option C : you get the point

Here’s the plan...

What’s going to happen in the next few weeks, possibly by July 4th, the Senate will pass the amnesty bill.
At the same time the House is going to pass a Trojan horse bill that will sound good and that will secure the borders.
The problem with that is
they’re both going to be sent to conference committee,
where amnesty is going to be added to the Trojan horse bill.
The Senate will vote yes on final passage and send it to the House.
Led by Nancy Pelosi, the House Democrats will ALL vote for the bill
because it will assure permanent Democratic political majority,
and a few Republican committee chairs will provide the final votes needed for passage.
That way the president will have amnesty for illegals
and the country will be fast-tracked to permanent progressivism.

Contact your congresscritters and let them know YOU know. Alert all the people you can to do the same.

I honestly think it dubious to rely on the FedGov for stopping this — I think the states have a better chance of stopping it. (If only we had some governors with balls enough to stand...)

They should call this the America elimination act and that’s no hyperbole.

The democrats are going to lose the senate in the coming elections and know that the American people are angry enough to send people to jail over the dozens of criminal acts. They have to get amnesty.
