John Cornyn: We can't win in 2016 without resolving immigration reform
therightscoop.com ^ | 1/17/14

Clearly immigration was why we lost in 2012. It had nothing to do with a milquetoast Republican candidate who had been on both sides of so many issues that a good portion of Republican voters just stayed home. No, forget the moderate candidate. It was the Hispanic vote that killed us!

Also, I’ve got some unicorns in my back yard I’ll be glad to sell you on the cheap.

NEWSMAX – The House Republican leadership is expected to release a one-page list of principles governing immigration reform efforts next week that for the first time backs legal status for undocumented immigrants.

But the plan falls short of providing for an immediate pathway to citizenship as outlined in the comprehensive Senate bill passed last year.

House Speaker John Boehner, with the support of Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, is expected to circulate the plan to GOP members before it is publicly released ahead of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address Jan. 28.

Rep. Lee Terry told the Journal the move could help win hard-to-get GOP support.

“If it doesn’t lead to a pathway to citizenship, I think you will get more people to at least embrace that or be OK with that,” the Nebraska Republican said. However, he added, “It will still be a very difficult sell.”

This is the real John Cornyn.

He has been running really early political spots on the radio here in Texas attempting convince folks...he’za true conservative that stands up to Obama every day.

He abandoned Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Steve Stockman, Sarah Palin, Rand Paul when they needed his voice/support the most on conservative values.

We DO NOT need amnesty for millions of illegals. Guest worker card with criminal background checks? Perhaps.

Let’em self deport. If you have no worker card or fail a background check...bye bye.

Amnesty with path to citizenship will only hurt American workers, depress wages, increase entitlements.

Immigration reform is always ALL about amnesty. No matter how it’s sold or packaged.

To the contrary, if the GOP sells out US sovereignty for amnesty, they will not win in 2015 ever.

Are you seeing or hearing any media spots [billboards, newspaper, flyers,

I agree...we need to solve the illegal alien invader problem. First off, deport all illegal aliens. Next, build a HUGE fence at the Mexican border- have guard dogs, double the Border Patrol guards (and give them more authority to enforce the laws we already have on the books), if there's any place where the illegal alien invaders threaten to overwhelm the Border Guards, have a quick-strike SWAT team ready on a moment's notice to reinforce them.

When we deport them, we do what President Eisenhower did: put them on a ship to the farthest Southern port in Mexico.

THEN, let's talk about letting Mexicans and Central Americans in as temporary guest workers.

AFTER THAT, we change emphasis on immigration, from unskilled Central American and Middle Eastern Labor, to Western Europeans wanting to flee Islamofascism and Eastern Europeans who appreciate what America did to free them from Communist tyranny.

MAN! I'm good.

So is he 1) Claiming that Hispanic citizens and legal residents are so mad about their illegal friends and relatives not being able to collect free government benefits that they will refuse to vote for Republicans unless the free stuff is given out - right now?

Or is he 2) Obliquely saying Social Security and Medicare will collapse by 2016 without hordes of recently legalized workers paying into these programs to shore them up?

Or is he 3) responding to pressure from his biggest donors at the Chamber of Commerce, who want cheap labor right now and don't care how many American workers get pushed aside to achieve it?

Or is he 4) On the payroll of George Soros and the other One Worlders who want the elimination of national borders globally, to allow for more efficient allocation of capital and labor in the eventual service of a small global oligarchy which uses Socialism to pacify and control the masses?

Or is he 5) Just a dumbass who listens to GOP consultants and does whatever they say, without any critical thinking involved? :)

I’ve been listening to those commercials. It makes Cornyn sound like Audie Murphy fighting off the Nazis. I’m convinced that he’s in the Senate Cloak room, sipping vin and smoking a Cuban cigar, with Chuckie Shumer, laughing about how he has to fool the rubes once again.

Bring back American jobs first

And use EVerify to make sure US jobs are going to US citizens.

This article is actually closer to the truth than most delusional garbage from the RNC and their fellow travelers. Sure, they have to "resolve immigration reform". They have to resolve it by sending invaders home, securing our borders, and US jobs for US citizens. Otherwise, they could lose even the HOR....conservatives won't vote for backstabbers.

John, it was resolved long ago. It is located in the law as it stands.

And remember all the RINOs he supported from 2009 - 2013 as National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman.

“I can’t get my hands around why so many Repubs think all these new Hispanic Voters will ever vote Republican?”

especially when 1/2 of democrats, at least, are in actuality republicans! The Dem party leaders are extreme communists. Maybe the RNC should have a media campaign, “Are you an American? Do you believe {blah,blah} then vote Republican.”

Most are pro-life, most want less government, most want less taxes, most want their guns, most want to be married to the opposite sex and have babies, etc, etc, etc.

Consrvatives should use it as toilet paper and had it right back to these treacherous sons of bitches.

ANY IMMIGRATION BILL INTRODUCED AND PASSED IN THE HOUSE, EVEN IF ONLY ONE SENTENCE LONG, ...

WILL BE GUTTED AND REPLACED WITH THE SENATE VERSION ...

AND THEN SENT TO A HOUSE-SENATE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE THAT WILL RETURN IT TO THE HOUSE FOR A FULL VOTE.

WHEN THE CONFERENCE BILL COMES TO THE HOUSE FOR A FULL VOTE, ALL THE DEMS WILL VOTE FOR IT AND AT LEAST 17 ‘SQUISH’ REPUBLICAN MODERATES WILL VOTE FOR IT ...

AND THE BILL WILL PASS AND BE SENT UP TO OBAMA TO BE SIGNED AND TO BECOME THE LAW OF THE LAND.

THEN ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE WILL BE GIVEN LEGAL STANDING ...

AND THEY WILL BE LED BY ‘NAVIGATORS’ TO ILLEGALLY REGISTER TO VOTE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS ...

AND OF COURSE THEY WILL DEMOCRAT.

AND VOTES CANNOT BE REVERSED AFTER THE FACT WHEN FRAUD IS DISCOVERED BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCERN WITH CERTAINTY WHICH WAY A FRAUDULENT VOTE WENT ...

AND SCRUBBING THE VOTER OFF THE REGISTRATION LIST IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH SAME DAY REGISTRATION ...

NOR IS IT POSSIBLE IF THERE IS NO WAY TO PROVE THE VOTER IS FRAUDULENT ...

ILLEGALS WILL LIE WHEN ASKED TO CONFIRM WHETHER THEY ARE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES ON A VOTER REGISTRATION FORM.

SO WHAT IS NEEDED IS A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL ILLEGALS THAT HAVE BEEN GRANTED AMNESTY ...

BUT THAT WILL NEVER BE MADE AVAILABLE ...

BECAUSE OF ‘PRIVACY CONCERNS’ ...

************************

IMMIGRATION REFORM WAS PUT ON THE AGENDA BY OBAMA AND DEMOCRAT LEADERS ...

BUT JUST BECAUSE IT’S ON THE AGENDA DOES NOT MEAN IT NEEDS TO BE LISTENED TO OR DISCUSSED ...

TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THAT IMMIGRATION REFORM WILL BE DONE WHEN CONSERVATIVES PUT IT ON THE AGENDA ...

WHEN CONSERVATIVES CONTROL THE HOUSE, THE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE ...

TIMING IS EVERYTHING ...

THE TIME FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM IS NOT NOW ...

Take the profit out of it and, in this case, profit is measured in votes. Pass a simple law saying that nobody ever votes in any U.S. election until they’ve been a citizen for 18 years.

begin construction of a ship canal along the inside of this fence, all the way from Texas to California,

Close the EPA, Department of Education, and Department of Energy and use the "workers" to build it.
