Chuck Schumer: Democrats Won’t Take Anything But Citizenship for Illegals (Video)
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 12, 2013 | Jim Hoft

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was on Morning Joe today to discuss amnesty.

The far left New York Senator told the audience there has to be amnesty:

“I think we’re going to get a bill and I think Speaker Boehner and Leader McConnell know it’s the right thing to do… I think the economic Republicans are for this strongly… We’ve always said, and that includes the Gang of Eight, one thing, that bottom line is there has to be some path to citizenship.”

Thank you Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio and Jeff Flake.

Compromise is something for Republicans to try to achieve.

We have a legal path to citizen ship... illegals refuse to follow.

Do any of these people in Congress still represent Americans or is their duty to represent illegal aliens.This seem to be their goal and what they been harping on all year. They make a lot of empty promises.They cannot even enforce the laws on the books right now and more new laws solves nothing. This sounds like 1986 all over again.

Clearly, Boehner's sellout is in place, there will be a path to citizenship, and it will be done by manipulating the House-Senate conference committee which will produce a compromise bill providing for amnesty and it will garner enough Rino votes in the house together with the Democrats to pass.

When this happens it is crunch time for conservatives, we will no longer be able to abide in the temple with the money changers. It will simply be time to leave.

Mark Levine wants amendments passed through states to add term limit of 12 years total for any politician and limit power of SCOTUS by allowing 2/3 of states or congress to override them and balanced budgets.

Probably will never get done but we can dream.

Absolutely, my Parents had no problem following it and they didn’t speak English when they arrived but somehow they learned. Why is it imperative for the demoncrats to void U.S. law for people south of our border?

Democrats would happily accept voting rights for illegals without Citizenship.

When I first started spending time here in Germany 25 years ago I used to be quite smug as an American believing that the Germans had sold out individual liberty for group security. I used to say that they have taken the wrong lessons from World War II and favored the state over the individual in virtually every instance. I liked to point out to my German neighbors the idea that individual liberty was the foundation stone of the American experience.

I do not any longer feel the facts on the ground in American justify me in saying any of these things anymore. I no longer believe the people in Germany are less free than people in America. I no longer believe that America is substantially more free than Germany. I don't think I have changed.

God help us one and all.

I think secession is inevitable eventually. We're on the same path as the USSR.

Of course they won’t — all those new Dem voters are too important.

Americans have no clue that the elites in both the GOP & democratic party are going to dump over 50 million third wolders on us. If this fact was on nationl TV several evenings a week things might change. I say might, cause I’m not sure the public cares.
