Report: Boehner 'Hellbent' on Passing Amnesty This Year
Breitbart.com ^ | 4/18/14 | Tony Lee

Posted on 04/18/2014 8:22:31 AM PDT by gwgn02

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is "hellbent" on passing amnesty legislation, and other GOP leaders are signaling to donors and lobbyists that they also want to pass legislation this Congress, even though attempting to do so would depress the GOP base and create divisions within the party ahead of 2014's midterm elections that could give Republicans control of Congress.

Poor people don’t even buy USED cars. They buy old parts from a junk yard and fix it themselves.

Using that condition as a bell weather, I haven't been poor since about 1974.

The Democrats owe the Chinese, and the Republicans owe the unions and US Chamber of Commerce.

And as usual, the American public is on the outside looking in. Both parties are at war with us.

In an abrupt switch from his months of work to bring immigration reform back from life support, Speaker John Boehner told reporters today that the issue cannot move forward until President Obama proves he can be a trustworthy partner to implement the law as written.

The enforcement part of the 1986 amnesty failed miserably regardless of who was president.

Reagan signed the 1986 amnesty one day after the midterms. You could be right.

Its very important for Conservatives to let the Latino population know that we are:
PRO- Legal Immigration
Anti- Illegal Immigration and Amnesty.

There is a huge difference between the two and believe it or not, most latinos do not support illegal immigration.

Some of the big differences are:
Legal immigration - you have more skin in the game. There is a waiting time, a hefty monetary fee, classes in american history, classes in english, proper registration and ID cards, SS number issued for paying of taxes, swearing an oath to the constitution.
Illegal Immigration - None of the above is required. Its basically open border policy, free stuff, no accountability,
no allegiances, gimme my free stuff and “screw you” AMERICA!

When people tell you you must accept ‘lesser evil’ this is lesser evil. When people tell you you must vote Republican no matter what, this is ‘what’ you get.

The sooner these people are told to sit down and shut up, the sooner we can get to work fixing this fiasco.

What can you expect from a drunken bum? And what does that say about (1) the idiots who elected this turdhound and (2) the elected representatives who voted him in as Speaker?

This guy should be in shackles and thrown into prison for treason. Amnesty? Call it by its real name: complete capitulation of our national sovereignty.

They’d best get used to being whores for the Businesses that want this crap because when they pass it the Republican Party base will no longer vote for anyone with a (r) affiliation.

They can be whores all they want, but what I don't get is that after this bill passes that the GOP won't win a presidential election for a long time, if ever. So if I'm in business and looking to give donations for my own personal gain why would I give to a GOP that would never be in Executive power or a GOP that would be in a permanent minority? It makes no sense, unless the GOP wants to be a permanent minority, which at this point seems very probable.

This picture of two parties is nothing more than a fallacy, a virtual cloud, a hoax. We have a one party government that has fooled the population into financially funding their elections.

I truly believe that there are some good people in the GOP, but when they pull crap like this it’s hard to justify that feeling.

Anyone who is for amnesty is for the NWO whether they know it or not. Any legislator who votes for it is a traitor to his Oath of Office.

I would modify that for any audience. We are pro-legal immigration that is reduced significantly and is based on a merit based system, i.e., one that brings in the skills we need to be competitive in the global economy. We don't need 1.1 million legal immigrants a year. American jobs for American workers.

Once all that passes (and eventually it will), there will be no discernible reason to ever vote Republican again. Since the dems will be in the permanent majority, there’ll be no better time to break off and form another political party.

AND... for those of the mistaken notion trading away national sovereignty for amnesty will somehow buy some love for the GOP from the hispanics -- George H.W. Bush garned all of 30% of the hispanic vote in 1988.

There is a primary in Ohio on May6th but it seems very convenient that there are three people on the ballot to oppose Boehner.

The GOPe political machine is in that set up, I strongly suspect.

After the 2012 election at the beginning of 2013 the old Congress cut a budget deal with Obama led by Boehner in what he called an “imperfect deal”.

Then when the new Congress went into session all but 12 of the GOP members went along with electing Boehner as Speaker.

Watch out for the period around Christmas after this year’s election for the dirty deed to be done.....
