“Name them or shut up.”

Luis Guiterriz (corrupt little worm that he is) is trying to create an air of inevitability. Obama-regime does this all the time

That’s why we need a new party. We are a one party country right now and this one freakin’ party is destroying it. Freakin’ RINOs, it’s like the Democrat party part deux.

We can all guess how much he’s getting paid, and by whom, to push this agenda.

The Bandwagon Fallacy is committed whenever one argues for an idea based upon an irrelevant appeal to its popularity.
But thanks for playing senor.

You're right. It's the Chicago way.

The House is writing a similar bill piecemeal. Eric Cantor supports the Dream Act and is writing a House version. Paul Ryan supports amnesty and the senate bill. Boenher says he wants to get an immigration bill on Obama's desk by December. Goodlatte's Judiciary committee has already passed a STEM act to provide green cards to over 50,000 foreign graduates of our schools. These guys are the House GOP leadership.

Schumer has given his approval for the piecemeal approach. The House bills will be put together and sent to conference with the Senate. The result be amnesty.

That's nowhere near enough to get over the Hastert Rule that Speaker John Boehner says he will observe.

What Gutierrez said is true. The GOP wants amnesty badly. But I think the bigger thing is that this and what Schumer said is a Dem psywar campaign going on to divide the GOP. A political party executing an actual strategy. How novel.

I find it ironic the surrender party seems unable to do that unless it is pushing amnesty. They can’t even be bothered to push back at this trash. Where the hell is Boehner anyway? He sure has been quiet. We hear from the kenyan, Schumer, this Chicago stooge, etc. And get nothing from the GOP. No fight in them at all. Disgusting.

He may have 50 people to vote on amnesty. But it is not like they will vote immediately for amnesty as soon as they return.

Also some of 50 are delusional when they say they support legal status but not citizenship. They honestly believe something like that will be offered by Democrats. I think one of them who believes this is Blake Farenthold.

Blake Farenthold for instance has a 50% hispanic district. But most the voters in his district are adult whites who turn out to vote.

Why does the GOP want guest workers? why are they taking jobs from Americans?

No, the GOP wants the doubling of the guest worker programs. The senate bill increases the number of guest workers by 1.6 million the first year and 700,000 every year thereafter. It amounts to 1.5 million new temporary guest workers every year while 20 million Americans are underemployed or unemployed. The GOP views amnesty as a bargaining chip.

The GOP is already split on immigration. Boenher, Cantor, Ryan, and McCarthy are amnesty supporters. It is the RINOs against the conservatives.

I find it ironic the surrender party seems unable to do that unless it is pushing amnesty. They can’t even be bothered to push back at this trash. Where the hell is Boehner anyway? He sure has been quiet. We hear from the kenyan, Schumer, this Chicago stooge, etc. And get nothing from the GOP. No fight in them at all. Disgusting.

You don't hear from Boehner because he is working behind the scenes trying to get a bill passed. There really is no urgency to pass an immigration bill now. The push is coming from the corporate paymasters and the Dems. Boehner is trying to throw Obama a life preserver. It wouldn't surprise me that the comprehensive immigration reform is being used as a bargaining chip for the upcoming budget battle, Obamacare, and the pipeline deal. If an amnesty passes, it is game, set, and match for the U S of A.

The Dems will take any amnesty deal they can get from Boehner because their primary objective is to destroy their political opposition. That is all the rampaging marxists like the kenyan care about.

Don’t buy the shinola about Dems wanting no bill to get Hispanics all wee weed up. They have them in the bag already.

Amnesty is all about suppressing the GOP vote. Too bad the stupid party is too greedy for K Street cash to see that.

Because they get the bulk of their campaign contributions from corporations who want cheap, exploitable labor.

Try this on for size:

The McRubio-Schumer amnesty bill is a product of special interests. It will increase legal immigration massively over the next decade to 33 million, more than the previous 40 years combined, and it will double the number of guest workers entering annually. The “Masters of the Universe” who support this bill claim it will be a boon to the economy and jobs. The reality of the past 14 years tells us otherwise, i.e., the economy is in the doldrums and scarce jobs are going to immigrants.

“The overall size of the working-age native-born population increased by 16.4 million from 2000 to 2013, yet the number of natives actually holding a job was 1.3 million lower in 2013 than 2000.

The total number of working-age immigrants (legal and illegal) increased 8.8 million and the number working rose 5.3 million between 2000 and 2013.”

Every ten years we have the equivalent of an amnesty thru our legal immigration policies that bring in 1.2 million legal immigrants a year—two thirds of whom will vote Dem once they get their citizenship.

I believe Luis is a Puerto Rican not Mexican, could be wrong. Still he is a douchbag no matter where he came from.
