Seeking Hispanic votes they'll never get, Republicans might well ruin what could be one of their greatest electoral triumphs ever. Cheap labor now isn't worth a permanent socialist electorate tomorrow.
'Those are my principles," Groucho Marx once said, "and if you don't like them? Well, I have others." Business should stand for the rule of law. It should also stand for sustaining economic liberty in America's long-term future.
Both principles argue against amnesty for America's estimated 11 million illegal aliens, which would reward them for violating the law and let them pull the U.S. electorate still further to the left.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other big-business interests prefer another "principle." In two words: cheap labor. Their pressure on the Republican Party is heavy, but it's really pressure to take delayed poison.

That principles paper is just PR misdirection. So later Boehner and Ryan can say: “We really wanted to give everyone papers but as you know we have a teabagger problem. Just elect more moderate GOPers and we will fix that problem.”
Cantor’s bill and the Chamber of Commerce goodies bill are the real deal. Watch what happens with those.
What if their motivation is totally different?
What if the are not interested in being in the majority or in bringing new republicans into office. And if their money a power & position comes from somewhere other than the electorate, and that source is interested in amnesty for reasons other than voting?
It’s not as if they put good people in leadership positions. It’s not as if they’re not going to run Romney again, its not as if boner isn’t out their spreading hatred and resentment about Ted Cruz
Ted Cruz points out that am Seth would be a problem for the future of the party. My take away from that is to notice how they are willing to destroy the party
Without term limits people like McCain boner graham have a seat regardless of what’s happening g with the party
Whom they work for is the only mystery. But they don’t care about the party being in power. It suits them when it isn’t
Look at cornyn. He has to do hearings on the IRS with Cruz. If he doesn’t be looks super bad/lazy next to the other schleps at the resort retreat. Cruz is working making them look bad. Good for us. But they prefer to not work. And in most cases against what it is their handlers want them to be doing
It’s time to write/fax/email/call our US Congressmen again - they are making another attempt to harm America with amnesty & open borders!
Tell them to vote NO! on any immigration bill and that what is listed below is what we need to do ASAP to protect America and preserve her freedom from illegal aliens/criminals:
1) Secure our borders
2) Enforce existing law
3) Not allow any amnesty provisions of any kind
4) Improve our visa system
5) Prosecute and fine those businesses which knowingly employ illegal workers
6) Give law enforcement officials the necessary resources and authority to combat illegal immigration
7) Deport illegal aliens violating the law after being fingerprinted, photographed, iris scanned, charged with a felony, and their information placed in a national database.
8) Send a bill for deportation/prison costs to the embassy of the illegal immigrant’s national origin.
9) 2nd time and thereafter repeat offenses by illegal aliens should be sent to work prison camps for a maximum of 6 months - building the southern fence/wall.
10) Seize and liquidate all assets from illegal aliens and use the proceeds for our military and local law enforcement.
11) Must not give illegal immigrants government welfare benefits of any kind, including Social Security
12) Designate English as our national language
13) Change the 14th Amendment regarding birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants
14) Put pressure on the Mexican government and other nations to reduce illegal immigration to America.
15) Encourage only legal immigration and citizenship to for those wanting to become Americans.
These ENFORCED changes would strengthen America greatly.
Any elected official (especially Republicans) who can’t see this are either incompetent, stupid, or evil - or a combination of all three - and need to be voted out ASAP and replaced with true Constitutional conservatives.
The US CofC promotes amnesty because their members demand cheap labor.
How long does the Chamber or its members thing that labor will stay cheap once amnesty passes? Never mind the thousand other reasons that amnesty would be a REALLY BAD thing. Do any of those employers actually think about how amnesty would devastate their bottom line?
(somewhat off topic but no one ever brings this up)
Those 15 points are wonderful, but I can’t see them ever happening. It would take a miracle at this point.
Are they sure John Boehner didn't say that? :)
You wouldn’t vote for WALKER - CANTOR over CUOMO - BALDWIN ???”
...I never believed in staying home on election day to “teach a lesson”. Lately, I’ve been voting for the guy that would do the least damage. Always a Republican but rarely one that I would put in 1st place for whatever office. Got stuck with Romney in ‘12. Got stuck with McCain in ‘08. No more “least amount of damage” voting for me. Now, Cantor is pulling more than his fair share of RINOism and I’m through with him as well. At least if I vote for the dem, I know what I’m getting.
