Cornyn: Immigration Reform Not Out of the Question in 2014
WOIA ^ | 1/13/14 | Jim Forsyth

Posted on 01/13/2014 11:36:45 AM PST by jimbo123

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tx) says he is optimistic that some sort of immigration reform can be considered and possibly approved by Congress this year.

But Cornyn told 1200 WOAI news it won't be the 'comprehensive' type of immigration reform that the White House is demanding.

"Particularly after the failure of Obamacare, the people are very skeptical of thousand page bills," Cornyn said.

He says there is talk among Senate Republicans of a 'bit by bit' approach, which could include an expansion in the visa program for people who attend and graduate from college in the United States.

Morons. Absolute Morons.

If the Republicans just shut up and went into hiding for the next 11 months, they might actually win the election.

Instead, they are turning a sure thing into guaranteed loss.

If I hear one more Republican mention amnesty or immigration reform, I’m voting Democrat. Might as well put the professional socialists in power rather than the amateur Republican socialists.

Here is my immigration reform. Find an illegal and deport them but first whack off an ear so we can tell what he is when and if he comes back. Okay, I am not really going to d oit but it still feels good to say it. Now whacking off an ear of a Democrat or a country club bcakstabber that is something entirely different.

John - You are against us Texans.

We will come to fight for your primary opponent,whether we win or lose.

Think Alamo.

Ultimately, we Texans will have our San Jacinto, we promise.

Yup. Now if we can get the rest of ‘conservatism’ to realize that also applies to homo everything, abortion, and even the non social issues we might just have a chance of electing a non liberal instead of more ‘lesser evil.’

“Donate to Steve Stockman’s primary campaign to defeat Cornyn, if you care about the country.

It is time for conservatives to start donating. Stop whining and contribute.”

I got online to contribute to Stockman but stopped when it was required of me to fill out a form that included my employer and occupation.

Don’t know why they ask that of people, but I refuse to do it.

Instead, I will send a check via slomail.

Support Dwayne Stovall to oust John Cornyn in TX

John Cornyn claims to be the 2nd most conservative member of the Senate.
Yet, as Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, he
hand-selected these "Republican" candidates:
  • Arlen Specter - Democrat
  • Charlie Crist - Democrat
  • Lincoln Chafee - Democrat
  • Lisa Murkowski - Independent
Also, when he had a chance to stop ObamaCare by supporting Ted Cruz' filibuster
he FAILED
and hid behind a meaningless vote later.


Now, he wants to sell you out with amnesty.

That will anger about half of all conservative talk radio hosts who are firmly in Cornyn’s corner. I won’t say names but have heard many of them supposed Tea Party non-Rino’s in Texas back Cornyn.

Mar. 4, 2014..... 49 days until the Primary vote.

Has anyone seen any activity by Cornyn's opponents such as community meetings,
advertisements, mailings, hand shaking, etc? If so please describe for us.
Thanks.

Job growth is this country isn’t even keeping pace with birth rate and they want to give 20+ million illegals amnesty so American citizens have even more competition for the few job available.

Every politician in Washington save one or two is a flat out traitor....and not just the push on amnesty either.

Bless Cornyn’s pea pickin’ heart, he just has to keep straddlin’ that fence. He just has to stay “friends” with his democrat lawyers.

Donate to Steve Stockman’s primary campaign to defeat Cornyn, if you care about the country.

I've been seeing non-stop ads alleging that Stockman is a crook. They're paid for by some "Texas conservatives" group, but it's obviously the work of Cornhole (who will not get my vote, regardless).

Steve King was the only Republican to vote against H1B visa increases. Steve King is the only Republican courting moderate and white collar voters. Ive seen Steve King on CSPAN and seen Democrats say they dont like him on abortion and calling out Obama’s racism but agree with him on immigration.

NRSC chairman Jerry Moran tried to put an amendment into Harry Reid’s Unemployment benefits bill.
