Website of Top House Republican Drops Opposition to Amnesty
National Review ^ | Jan 10, 2014 | Fred Bauer

Posted on 01/10/2014 8:25:08 PM PST by Ray76

Representative Goodlatte said in a Telemundo interview that is set to air on Sunday that he is very open to legalizing current illegal immigrants:

If we can have a way to get [enforcement] up and operating, I see no reason why we can’t also have an agreement that shows how people who are not lawfully here can be able to be lawfully here – able to live here, work here, travel to and from their home country, be able to own a business, pay their taxes.

Staying home and not voting. Yeah, that’s the way to get dimocrats out of office.

Goodlatte has been saying this for a long time.

I think what is hoped is that Obama and the Democrats scream Racial Profiling when Goodlatte tries to pass an enforcement bill before he passes an amnesty. Obama is so greedy that he wont even deport the fraudsters and the child molesters just so he can keep the “otherwise law abiding” low level alien fraudsters.

There are probably dozens of misinformed House Republicans who think legalizing the illegals without citizenship is a good idea. One of the disappointments of 2010 was that there were a lot of idiot Republicans who were elected. Delay and Hastert would never pass this BS and even moreso with someone enforcing the law even less than Bush.

Don’t give up your guns. You’re going to need them. Millions of dangerous people who do not like you at all are coming. And, worse, they will all be a protected constituency of the Democrat Party. IOW, they are going to be treated much better than you are.

It’s going to be the Mexican gangs doing the knock out whitey thing also. Open season on Americans. Something to look forward to, huh?

Before we get into talking about granting amnesty in any form, we need to have a thorough explanation of the last amnesty law that went into effect in the late ‘80s. I remember that it was to be a one time deal and that when enacted would end our illegal alien problem forever. What the hell went wrong.? Let us hear from those who were in government at the time explain why.....McCain, Reid, McConell, or whoever was there to sell that piece of crap to the American people.
How about it?

“I see no reason why we can’t also have an agreement”

Is the guy blind?

Well that sure is a wrong thing to do, but how loud does God have to holler before we recognize Who really should be hailed by all?

God’s rivals are pretty blatant. So when are we going to call in the Champ again? It’s on us, every single one of us.

Representative Goodlatte has been paid off or blackmailed to commit this treason. Need to add him to the list of those who need to be primaried out of public office.

Watching these despicable creatures is like watching the movie The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Although instead of a pod being close to the good congress critter it was more likely to be a bundle of cash, favor for a family member or promise of non-disclosure of “sensitive” pictures.

Time to field some strong primary challenges. This is the only way to wake up those scoundrels. Lavish perks, power, retirements, revolving-door etc.

Josa, no one is going to get the Democrats out of office.

It's a basic math problem.

Under current law, 1 million immigrants become new American citizens each year.

80% of them vote for the Democrat Party.

In 2011, for the first time ever, more than 50% of newborn babies in the USA were not Caucasian.

They will vote like their parents, 80% for Democrats.

When Amnesty is passed, and it will be passed, we can add another 10 million Democrats.

The game is over for Conservatives.

In 2016, the Democrats will win control of the White House, the Senate, the House, and the federal judiciary, and they will NEVER give them back.

I'm living in central Florida and can tell you that the invasion is already complete (I feel terrible saying "invasion" but no other word seems to fit). There's no hope. Really. I wish I could tell you all differently, but they're staying. Illegals now have jobs, homes, and large families of American children born in the USA. Any vigorous program to return illegals to their own countries is going to divide families and only create intense hatred. Conservatives and Republicans will seen as making children suffer. That will confirm all the worst stereotypes there are about conservatives and Republicans being heartless.

The fault lies with George W Bush but he's long out of office and the damage is done. He lost the USA to illegals. It was his job to defend the borders and he blew it. We were overrun.

The horrible thing is the way young Hispanic adults and children seem to only assimilate to the worst of American culture.

If something isn't done now, if conservatives don't find some way to turn young Hispanics into enthusiastic supporters of the American way and freedom and capitalism, then we're all screwed -- royally, completely, catastrophically screwed. And we'll all soon be speaking Spanish in another socialist "utopia".

I'm open to ideas. At a minimum, the borders must be secured. And something needs to be done at the public school level to get the children of illegals to understand that the USA isn't the great Satan and that economic and political freedom works. (The descendants of native born Americans could use that lesson, too).

Yep. And 75% of them are supported and paid for by Caucasians, many who are childless because they didn't believe in having children they couldn't afford.

Their reward for trying to be responsible is being made to support the irresponsible.

Turn the entire U.S. and U.S. territories into a socialistic, third world country, for always. Genius!

I think this chump is a RINO. If rats are voted out, so RINOs can be voted in, we have already lost. I went Galt a few months ago. Maybe he is talking about doing exactly that.

You are correct sir, unfortunately. Hillary might win 49 states. This is Rat country, four say, the next 50 years or more. You are right, it is a math problem. The bad people outnumber the good people, and it does not help, when those who are supposed to be on our side (RINOs) are actually on the side of our enemies. Yes, I said enemies. I consider them to be only slightly less enemies than the NORKs and Iranians, but enemies nonetheless.

They will give it to someone, because there will be an economic collapse, then we will be easy prey for a hungry world.

If Republicans want to commit political suicide, the least conservatives can do is help them by staying home on election day.
