Boehner: Amnesty After GOP Primary Filing Deadlines
Breitbart News ^ | 4 Dec 2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 12/04/2013 10:42:26 AM PST by george76

John Boehner plans to push amnesty legislation through the House, after the primary filing deadline for candidates. The move would prevent Tea Party from challenging GOP lawmakers who support amnesty in 2014.

Scott Braddock reported on Tuesday that “in recent weeks, various Texas business interests have told Quorum Report that Boehner has been telling them that he will start holding immigration votes not long after the filing deadline has passed.”

Braddock noted that those business community sources spoke with him “on condition of anonymity because their conversations were held behind closed doors and they added it wasn’t made clear to them just how confidential the information was meant to be.”

“Nevertheless, what was made clear was that Boehner felt the need to protect House Republican incumbents who are otherwise seen as conservative but have expressed an openness to immigration reform that includes a robust guest worker program,” Braddock wrote, before citing three specific Texas GOP congressmen: Reps. Ted Poe (R-TX), John Carter (R-TX) and Sam Johnson (R-TX).

Gee.

This ASSHOLE sounds more like a fucking RAT each time he opens his pie-hole.

Is he still claiming to be a Republican?

Insidious, as usual. By hook or by crook, they plan to push Amnesty through, to satisfy those paying them off.

How many different positions on amnesty for illegal aliens has Boner claimed during the past year? He is the most pathetic pretend leader ever in a high position of the Republican party.

This strategy is total cowardice and deceit, beyond despicable. That Republican members of the House would tolerate this from their so-called leader tells us how low things have gone.

This is second hand information.

With Obamacare being fought out, the GOP isn't going to risk getting destroyed over immigration reform.

Immigration reform is about greed.

Immigration reform is about money.

Immigration reform is about supply and demand.

Increase the supply of labor and demand falls, wages fall, your wages fall.

Ask yourself why the government CHOOSES to not enforce immigration law?

The political donor class and the employer class hold the reins of the government through how the political parties are funded. These are the people who are demanding the government ignore parts of immigration law.

Why?

Greed, plain and simple.

Increase the labor supply and the amount you have to pay people goes down, and you no longer need to treat them very well, because there are MILLIONS of hungry fearful people who will put up with it because the supply of jobs shrinks relative the number of people looking for work.

Thats a ‘win win’ for the employer class and the political donor class.

Once again the middle class is being squeezed for the benefit of the few, follow the money.

Any politician who pushes immigration reform without demanding the laws on the books be enforced is an enemy of your future, an enemy of your childs future.

Those politicians are doing the work of the employer class and the political donor class, society and culture be damned.

Dare to speak against them and you will be labeled ‘racist’ by the media, a media controlled by the employer class and the political donor class.

The government no longer is about public service, it is about the money.

When the government is free to select which laws to enforce, with the blessing of the courts your freedom vanishes.

And there is no one to vote for who could/would fix it, from either party.

We are so screwed.

Seeing Ted Poe’s name there raises one red flag. The later notation of “guest worker” raises another.

Speaker Boehner has two primary challengers. Please read up on them and let’s start to send either or both as much money as we can.

Easy to spill sour beans here. But, best is to call these congressmens office and tell them to what you think of them. I just called Ted Poe’s office and the person who answered said that Ted poe is opposed to amnesty and always will be. He wants enforcement only. Don’t know if they are sincere or not but that is at least hopeful. The more angry calls they get the more likely they are to stay that way.

Well, this won’t work out well for him, because this means we’ve gotten the heads up. We will primary-vote accordingly.

I'm a belt and suspenders kind of guy. Always have backup. Call them, for sure, but have a primary opponent, too, to make sure they focus.

The move would prevent Tea Party from challenging GOP lawmakers who support amnesty in 2014.

I'd like to say that the move won't prevent irate citizens from shooting Congress-critters, starting with Boner, but I might get in trouble with NSA so I won't.

Besides, I thought the TEA Party was dead.

I don’t understand how, w/ unemployment so high and unchanging, we’re talking about guest workers.
