A Republican congressman from a heavily Hispanic district is breaking ranks from his party to join Democrats in an eleventh-hour push for a broad immigration overhaul before the end of the year.

Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) plans to sign on as the lone GOP member with 185 Democrats to co-sponsor a plan that would give millions of unauthorized immigrants the chance to attain citizenship.

“I’m the first Republican,” he said in an interview. “I expect more to come on board.”

Here are the others that are aligned with Denham:

Another public servant putting his political career on Capitol Hill ahead of America. His parents must be so proud.

When I first saw this, I thought this:


But then I realized it's just another pretend Republican, going back to the side he belongs. Pfffft

Rep from the San Joaquin-— who are they gonna get to pick the grapes, or the pistachios or whatever. Price of MD 20/20 just went up,and Gallo— that’s the ticket RINO, labor and help the dems fill up the enrollment for national socialist healthcare. Somebody elses money and labor— and Aztlan all in one. Muchas gracias- stupido.

They will also DOUBLE the number of annual H1B visas for foreign IT workers.

I believe this is the key to Republican support for "comprehensive" immigration reform. Crony capitalism again.

[Regulator]

Denham just proved what we always thought about him...a smarmy little scum who'd say and do anything if he thought it would get him elected.

He's an agribusiness shill who wants slaves for the central valley plantations.

A fragment of Rabbie Burns' poem Such a Parcel o' Rogues has lately been stuck in my head:

What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro' many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling traitor's wages.

His wife is hispanic.

[McGavin999]

The things that need to be said publically at every opportunity is that Americans are out of work and need jobs, this is NOT the time to be trying to legalize a couple of million people to who will compete for those jobs.

[Baynative]

"His parents must be so proud."

His wife and her family are latino.

[GeorgeTex]

He makes less sense than would Jeff Dunham (and Peanut).

Every Rep Congressman in CA knows his days are numbered. They will sell out this country in order to keep their jobs.

[Oldhunk]

These are Republicans who are bought and paid for by big agriculture or big business that wants the cheap labor. We need to come up with a descriptive term to identify them. “Crony Republicans” might work.

[Baynative]

It surprises me to see Issa and Chaffets on your list.

I am writing all of the people on the list to amend the bill to mandate that as a part of any background check a cross checking of voter registration is conducted. That way any applicants for amnesty who have committed felony vote fraud by illegally voting, or do so during the alleged waiting period can be disqualified.

Of course the dems will oppose such an idea but it will show their true reason for wanting amnesty.

6. REP. RAUL LABRADOR (R-ID)

Thanks to all the dope-smoking, animal molesting Paul-Bots.

[jimbo123]

Darrell Issa to introduce immigration bill (House GOP begins Amnesty push next week...)

[Aetius]

Even so, once his district is sufficiently Hispanic, he will be voted out regardless of his leftwing stance on immigration.

Term limits will go a long way tofix the problems of Washington!
