Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) said Thursday that giving the estimated 12 million illegal aliens in the United States a path to citizenship will result in an increase in Democrat voters and will spell doom for the Republican Party’s presidential aspirations.

“[Illegal aliens are] not going to come out of Mexico and become Libertarians,” Stockman told CNSNews.com at an immigration radio town hall event on Thursday in Washington, D.C. “It’s not going to happen.”

Stockman said his state is a bellwether for the future of the GOP if amnesty becomes the law of the land.

“Being from Texas, I can assure you it won’t help us,” Stockman said. “It will lose Texas, and once you lose Texas, the Republicans will never win another presidential election.” …

"Refuse to talk about amnesty till we see solid and proven border control and security that can’t be easily dismantled."

I'm calling BS on that sentiment.

No discussion of Amnesty ever. Yeah, seal the border...build a guarded and impenetrable wall from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico.

And then cut them off from all jobs and services.

Ensure the wall has plenty of exit gates.

"The Battle of Fort Sumter (April 12–14, 1861) was the bombardment and surrender of Fort Sumter, near Charleston, South Carolina, that started the American Civil War."

April 12 is tomorrow.

I’ll be 63 this month and I have a heart condition. I doubt I’ll see 70. And I’m very happy about that.

I see young couples with babies and I think “Do you not know what’s going on with this country?” Then I think “Of course, you don’t. But you know all about Miley and Justin because you’re texting while you’re pushing that baby stroller.”

You’ll see 70. Creaky doors last the longest on their hinges, as the saying goes.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

Lets start that conversation by acknowledging that the GOP isn’t going to employ American Workers and will replace them with 12 million Illegal Aliens.

Jeb Bush is making a very clear bid to sew up the voter loyalty of the 11 to 30 Million Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico who have been bleeding the USA dry since the disastrous Reagan Amnesty of 1986.

The only Border Reform that needs to be changed is to force our Federal Politicians to insist that EXISTING Federal Border Laws be strictly enforced, PERIOD

To compensate for Jeb’s bid for the Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico, Mrs. Bill Clinton will soon have to start making political speeches in Spanish.

As “both” political parties plunge into the race to the US financial bottom, my guess is that they will reach it - - - alone.

Wars have begun over a lot less of an illegal invasion of territory.

It is time, - - - for a change.

Exactly. The 11 to 12 million number is from the 1990s.

Get ready folks, it’s about to be ON!

Texans don't want to hear it but Texas will likely be blue before the 2020 election.

“It will lose Texas, and once you lose Texas, the Republicans will never win another presidential election.”

Correct. There will never be another Republican in the White House. We haven't had a Republican in the White House since Ronald Reagan. George Bush and his liberal wife were not Republicans. They were liberals. Socialists. Big Government. Liars. But not Republicans.

And according to many pundits, the only way to get a Republican into the White House is to reward crimigrants with citizenship, support the continued murder of unborn children, and endorse faggots as just ordinary people.

I'm sorry, you idiots, but then you no longer have the Republican party. You're nothing but liberals masquerading as Republicans.

Yep. However, a lot can happen in six years. Texas may not even be part of the electoral map by then. We are entering waters that, though not quite uncharted, haven't been traveled in a long time.

Republicans need to stop being baited into leftist talking points,

They are not baited by talking points pallis. They are baited by money.

Stockman said the home builders were asking why doesn’t he support amnesty...

Stockman did everything in his power to help Cornyn get re-elected. Screw him. I will never be convinced otherwise.

You’re right, Ocommie has opened the spigot and Mexicans are pouring over the border at an unprecedented rate. Since we cannot demand voter id, what difference does it really make anyway, Texas is probably done soon. Traitors and Communists are everywhere.

Our politicians have completely sold out the country. Just wait for it. The S will HTF, sooner rather than later.

Buy ammo folks, buy ammo.

will spell doom for the Republican Party’s presidential aspirations.

How about it will spell doom for what is left of this nation? Where is their concern for that?
