Immigration showdown to take center stage at Republican retreat (Today is GOP Amnesty Day)
The Hill ^ | 1/29/14 | Russell Berman

Posted on 01/30/2014 5:36:07 AM PST by jimbo123

Top House Republicans will face growing skepticism from reform-minded conservatives when they pitch their principles for an immigration overhaul Thursday at the party’s annual retreat.

In interviews over the last several days, conservatives said that while they expect the principles to be broadly acceptable, they are less inclined to support a push by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and others to advance specific legislative proposals heading into the midterm election campaign.

“I think the willingness to go so far as specific legislation has cooled considerably for different reasons over the course of the last couple weeks,” Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) said Wednesday. The principles will include support for giving probationary legal status to many illegal immigrants, Ryan confirmed in an interview Wednesday on MSNBC. That would be distinct from a so-called “special path to citizenship” that Republicans have long opposed.

Republican leaders have acknowledged that the reception of the rank and file at the retreat on Maryland’s Eastern Shore will be critical to the decision of whether to move forward.

The Freeway to Government Handouts for illegal alien lawbreakers. NOBODY HAS A “RIGHT” TO AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. If we are a country of laws, WHY THE HELL ISN’T ANYBODY ENFORCING THEM? Oh I forgot. Somebody has to round up those counterfeit NFL Super Bowl jerseys. Lots of free Kool-Aid at the GOP retreat.

While millions are out of work and can’t get a job and when entry level jobs are blocked for young people just starting out it only makes sense to legalize 20 million invaders and give them the ability to chain migrate their families! This will help Americans get back to work!
Democrats need replacement American’s who will vote the “right way” and the Chamber of Commerce wants replacement Americans who will work for the “right wage”. Bohner is scared of losing K street money and the illegal alien vote,which by the way is an admission by the Republicans that massive vote fraud is occurring! If their afraid of losing the vote of people voting illegally then the foreigner is being elevated above the American! So our elected representatives are serving foreigner’s interest over Americans! That is known as treason.

“Melting down” means nothing to these RINO’s who are committed in liberal lock-step to going over the cliff, like the pigs in the Bible.

with millions out of work and can't get a job

These traitors don't just want the cheap foreign labor, they want to make sure it stays cheap. That's why they oppose raising the minimum wage to something that won't make people dependent on handouts.

It never ends. As soon as people are legal and paid disgustnng wages, they'll stop working and live on handouts instead.

That's why I've evolved to support the minimum wage being raised considerably. It'll take away the profit motive for destroying the US with invaders.

“Republican retreat” describes the party pretty well.

Our reps have absolutely NO BUSINESS passing any new laws until they figure out how to rein in the LAWLESS ONE HIMSELF... Tryannical Dictator Obama.

Our laws mean NOTHING now as long as he remains in office.

Egypt’s Morsi and our Democrat’s Obama have the same Muslim Brotherhood mentality, and thus both men are opposed to the Common Law basis of American Culture.

The American-based logic system falls on the deaf ears of both men.

Both men have a “Big Picture” mentality of destroying their existing societies in order to establish their version of the Muslim Brotherhood System of governance.

Their responses during and after the 2012 Benghazi Murders were the most revealing insights into their shared Muslim Brotherhood values.

Neither Morsi or Obama can be reasoned with by their countrymen. Their Muslim Brotherhood Mentality prevents them from doing so.

Any opposition to their plans is used by them to strengthen their conviction that their plans are correct.

Egypt has figured all this is out, when will America do the same?

NO IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION, NOT ONE SENTENCE, NOT ONE WORD, MUST BE ALLOWED TO GO FORWARD UNTIL CONSERVATIVES CONTROL THE AGENDA AND PROCESS!

Any bill introduced in the House, any small amount is death to republicans and a generational setback to conservatives.

The Senate will gut it, insert its full amnesty version, send it back to conference and then out for a full House vote where all the dems and 17 ‘squish’ republican moderates will pass it, then on to Obama for signature.

To summarize:

SMALL BILLS -> GUTTED BY SENATE
FULL AMNESTY BILL -> CONFERENCE
HOUSE PASSES -> 11 MILLION MEXICANS LEGALIZED

Now here is the important part:

MILLIONS OF MEXICANS REGISTER TO VOTE THIS YEAR.

And they will vote democrat.

How can they vote if they are not citizens?

Because first they don’t care about the law.

Second, voter registration forms do not require proof of citizenship.

How to stop this from happening?

NO IMMIGRATION BILL AT ALL! NOT ONE SENTENCE!

WAIT UNTIL CONSERVATIVES CONTROL THE HOUSE, SENATE AND WHITE HOUSE.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING.

I kept it clear and simple for my Rep. No legalization with the kenyan in the White House. Period.
