HALEY BARBOUR: CONGRESS CAN STILL PASS AMNESTY AFTER CANTOR DEFEAT
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 16 Jun 2014 | by TONY LEE

Posted on 06/16/2014 8:04:02 PM PDT by kingattax

On Monday, despite House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's (R-VA) shocking primary loss last week that was viewed as a referendum against amnesty legislation, former Mississippi Governor and lobbyist Haley Barbour said the House could still pass amnesty legislation this year.

"I don't think Eric's loss should have anything to do with it," Barbour said at the New York Meeting before pushing for a bill that would give a pathway to citizenship to "everybody's who's here illegally" so long as they confess they are in America illegally, pay fines and back taxes, and are put on probation.

Barbour said the House should pass "a very strong bill" that is to the right of the Senate's comprehensive amnesty bill and emphasized that "we gotta control the border at the end of the day or the American people will have a right to be furious with us."

The checks from the ruling class are still cashing.

They're going to get their minimum-wage landscape gardeners if they have to destroy western civilization to do it.

“...so long as they confess they are in America illegally, pay fines and back taxes, and are put on probation.”

Yeah, I’ll buy THAT for a dollar.

How stupid do guys Barbour think we are? If amnesty is passed, all the punitive measures will be watered down, dropped or just not enforced (kind of like our immigration laws now). And the border will NOT be secured. It will just further open the floodgates to more illegal aliens.

Yea right, give me a break.
NOT that I would ever agree to this but I would also not trust these d-bags as far as I could throw one.

In other words, the House can ignore what the voters want.

Haley Barbour was the architect of the party that Newt Gingrich used to overthrow the democrat majority for the first time in a lifetime.

That is such a myth you are buying into. Barbour and Gingrich were never conservative, but they read the the electorate correctly and peddled what they needed to, with every intention of abandoning it as soon as they could. Barbour is not a sell out, he was never a conservative and only believes in the most naked self interest.

Power corrupts. Then they want absolute power.

Harbour has chicken producers and rich “windshield farmers” who love that cheap brown labor by illegals. They count on the taxpayers to subsidize that labor force with free health care, food stamps, school for their children, including free school supplies and free breakfasts and lunches. Sweet deal for Haley’s cronies!

Passing a new border invasion law, when current border protection laws are not being enforced, is insanity. And that’s the state of the GOPe. Pathetic.

The Dims lost big so they just doubled down on it all while they still could!

What are you smoking? They didn't lose anything, they won big time. They imposed socialized medicine on the country, it performed as poorly as it could, and now it's done. No one is even trying to repeal it, or change it. Along the way, they used it to turn the Supreme Court into a joke. They may lose a few seats in one election, but they don't care, they'll make it back, and now the U.S. has permanent socialized medicine, and conservative opposition to anything has been made a joke of. I can't imagine a bigger victory they could have.

The weak effort to rally support for in the face of outright rejection by Mississippi voters PROVES that the Repubican Party is corrupt, venal, and mindless.


Yes it is. Just about as bad as the democrats.

I did as well. Sigh...

‘Course I don’t live in Mississippi. But after seeing him during Katrina interviews I was very impressed. I’ve since read things that have made me go hmmmm.
