The good thing about anti-gun liberals in Washington is that they are pathologically incapable of keeping their mouths shut.
And, this morning, shortly before 9:00, MSNBC commentator Dick Gregory announced that House Speaker John Boehner, the day before, had told a private meeting of reporters that he had been talking with Barack Obama a lot about pushing immigration reform.
Its pretty clear why Barack Obama wants a bill which would either legalize or grant citizenship to as many as 11.5 million people who, according to Latinos expressing their opinions in a Pew poll, would cast 88% of their votes for liberals like Barack Obama.
Its also clear what Speaker Boehner has in mind: If he sabotages his own party, the liberal media will throw him a doggie treat.
But, for other House Republicans, the advantage of having an Obama/Boehner knife in their back is a little less clear.
A note on why gun owners have skin in the immigration game: By turning a net 8,000,000 people into an Obama army, even legalization without immediate citizenship would fundamentally change electoral politics for the 2014 elections.
This is why, along with gun control, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has made immigration reform his central priority.
The anti-gun Bloomberg knows that legalization of persons unlawfully in the U.S. will create an Obama army which will transform the 2014 elections and achieve the almost impossible task of delivering the House and the Senate to the party of gun control.
With Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in power in 2015, the Obama army will then get their citizenship reward and gun control will advance.
“Communists never sleep.”
That’s why they must be eliminated, like bed bugs.
