Nearly a hundred top Republican officials sent a letter to the House GOP on Tuesday urging lawmakers to pass a bill that legalizes illegal immigrants, arguing that the current system is already allowing them to stay and so it makes sense to register them and bring them into the system.
The donors, led by former Bush administration Cabinet officials Carlos Gutierrez and Spencer Abraham, also said that immigrants are potential Republican voters who can be won over — if the party can be seen as welcoming to immigrants.
“Doing nothing is de facto amnesty. We need to take control of whom we let in our country and we need to make sure everybody plays by the same rules,” the donors said in their letter.
They aimed their pitch at House Republicans, who are trying to figure out a way forward and find themselves trapped between angry rank-and-file voters who say legalizing illegal immigrants amounts to amnesty, and party elites and donors who say the GOP cannot survive nationally without embracing legalization as part of a strategy to win over Hispanic voters.

Just say No to ILLEGALS....
The donors, led by former Bush administration Cabinet officials Carlos Gutierrez and Spencer Abraham, also said that immigrants are potential Republican voters who can be won over — if the party can be seen as welcoming to immigrants.
hey donors, STFU...and go to Mexico and see if you can be in Mexico ILLEGALLY!!
Part of me says, "Please, yes, please do it. Hasten the demise of your party and the country. Make the collapse inevitable, so we can see how things shake out; so can see which ideology caries the day, and start to put the pieces back together."
This waiting is getting to me.
Step away form the bong, boys! Frito Lay cannot make enough Doritos to handle the munchies from dope that good.
“These are the corporatists who also want government health care.”
You are correct IMO, and they aren’t Conservatives either. Not by a long shot. This IS BIG money chasing self interest.
The Greatest Victory of the Tea Party so far:
Pushing an Amnesty Bill through the Senate.
Think about that while you’re job hunting you racist, fascist bastards. :D
/sarc(?????)
“Doing nothing is de facto amnesty. We need to take control of whom we let in our country and we need to make sure everybody plays by the same rules,” the donors said in their letter.
The core problem is that the current law does not allow this. However, the current (and past) administration just chooses to ignore the law. Now how will passing a new, more generous amnesty change that? Also, if we legalize the current batch of illegals, the businesses these donors represent will soon become unhappy when the now legal immigrants start demanding wages and are able to make OSHA and labor law complaints. Then they will fire all their legal employees and hire the new illegals streaming across the still unguarded border.
Already not registered GOP I wont vote for one unless I am sure they are conservative..I voted for Rubio and Governor Scott...won’t vote for either again.
I also believe that the lesser of two evils is stil evil.
These are the moneyed elite..they make money no matter who is in office
Freegards
and GOP dont call me..I will call you........NOT!

LOL! That's funny. Good luck with that, Skippy!
Mainly Hispanic, agricultural and construction interests. All of the people you’d expect to be for amnesty.
America's Party
'We're partisans only for principle.'
The by then babbling person said "it's only one issue". He didn't even know that the "tea party" started with brave US citizens checking the border with binoculors themselves when the feds kept letting them down!
"tea party" has been so corrupted that they don't even know anymore what they're supposed to stand for.
“We need to take control of whom we let in our country and we need to make sure everybody plays by the same rules,”
Why?
You dont want to do that now.
F*cking idiots.
NO
The inertia of the RINO Wing mindset of the Republican Party has kept the Welfare Democrats in power after the National defeats of Dole, McCain and Romney.
One would think that those 3 painful losses would be called an “out” by the Republican Party.
What has happened is that the Republican faithful just chalk them up to 3 foul balls.
What is lacking is the desire to judge each action or inaction on the merit of whether or not it is good for the Country.
As a result, our political system has been in the Roman end times where the decadent rulers just try to appease the masses by giving them “stuff.”
Our “stuff” is the Welfare Borrow and Spend Shadow Federal Government that consumes 40 % of the Total Federal Government spending.
We beat our chests and complain about our high taxes that go to pay for this Welfare Shadow Government.
The truth is that not one penny of our taxes goes to pay for Welfare, as ALL of Welfare is financed by borrowing from our Grandchildren’s descendants.
Thus, we have two Federal Governments: one that is financed mainly by income from those 54 % who still pay Personal Federal Income Taxes, and the other financed by debt which must be repaid with interest by our Grandchildren’s descendants.
None of the above is recognized as being valid by those that we elect to govern us.
If the economic reality cannot be clearly communicated to our sorry Federal Politicians, then the Financial Markets will do so at the worst possible time.

My second point is that of leadership. This is a generational topic, and thus difficult to analyze.
History will show that the Post-WW2 generations in America produced poorly motivated patriotic political leaders, with few exceptions.
History will also show that we, as a Nation, lack the will to punish our politicians who violate the ethics, morality, financial obligations or the written Laws of our Nation.
For example, who was the last US President who went to jail for violating his oath of Office for violating the US Constitution? BTW, he/she would be the next one and also be the first.
__________
The third point is the desire to fail. RINOs are masters at it, and for that reason have kept (for FIVE YEARS) as their Speaker of the US House none other than John “Cave-In” Boehner.
With Sobber John at the helm, there will be no Special Investigation of the Benghazi Massacre, IRS harassment of Welfare Democrat opponents, legal pursuit of Contempt of the House AG Holder, or year to year reduction in Total Federal Spending, etc.
B. Hussein Obama’s legacy will remain intact and in effect as long as “Cave-In” Boehner is kept as Speaker by the sorry House RINOs.
RINOs have their defenses up to label as “Wacko,” “dangerous,” or “radical” any challenge to their dedicated goal of failing to act in the best interests of the Country, and to always Cave-In to the Welfare Democrats.
Blackmail to them is a badge of honor, as they laugh their way to a gold-plated retirement paid for by the debt that they have created.
_________________________________________________________________________
BTW, think about the above comments the next time that someone tries to con you into believing that “we Americans still have a Federal Government that we can be proud of.”
Now we know that illegal alien invasion was a cornerstone of GWB’s “Compassionate Conservatism.”
____________________________
Our tolerance for debt-based welfare to immigrants is equal to our tolerance for the debt that we are willing to pass onto our children and grandchildren.
Reduce our tolerance for debt-based Federal Programs, and our tolerance for immigration will also be reduced.

Our Southern Border is under the control of Mexican Drug Gangs. An illegal attempt by AG Holder to challenge their grip failed with Fast and Furious.
Obama has allowed INS officials to increase the number of “got-aways” and to decrease the number of illegal alien invaders actually caught.
Gullible News outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal routinely run articles quoting Obamanation statistics that numbers of captured illegal alien invaders are down, and thus there is no such thing as the surge of illegal alien invaders from Mexico and other Southern Hemisphere Socialist Countries.
Most News outlets refuse to come to our Southern Border to document their obviously false assertions.
Most State Politicians cower when our sorry NINE SUPREMES dictate that the State has no authority to protect itself from illegal alien invaders.
As long as THE NINE SUPREMES have 4 Socialist Judges, there will always be a high risk that some gullible Judge from the Majority will cross over to the dark side and continue the destruction of our US Constitution as the signature accomplishment of the US Welfare State. Traitor John Roberts’ support of Obama’care’ is the most horrific example.
Thus, it is incumbent upon those of us who still value the US Constitution to oppose the dark side, what we now call Obamanation.
________________________
The purpose of passing a Federal “reform” immigration bill this year is to allow illegal alien invaders from Mexico, and other Central and South American Socialist Countries, to vote for Socialist-Democrats and appeasing RINOs in the 2014 and 2016 USA National Elections for more debt-generating welfare to future illegal alien invaders to become future Socialist-Democrat voters.
These future Socialist-Democrat voters should be called “McCain-Rubio Democrats,” as no other Senators have done more to encourage gullible RINOs to appease and otherwise cave-in to debt-dependent Democrats than these two sorry RINO Senators.
Stand your ground, FReepers! Raise the Gadsden Battle Flag!
It is us against the gullible supporters of Obamanation!
For example:
While Rubio and his Eight Senate Gangsters put out political smoke and mirrors to “get a bill passed this year,” nothing they have said will change the basic problem of aliens illegally invading the USA.
The Basic Problem: Illegal aliens invade the USA for Welfare and Wages.
Solutions that address the Basic Problem:
1.) End the Anchor Baby Law.
2.) End the Hospital Emergency Room No Payment Law (EMTALA).
3.) End ANY other Welfare to Aliens.
4.) Fine US employers $1,000 per day per employee who is an alien.
5.) Spend NO money on “securing the border.” It is a bottomless money pit.
6.) Spend money on Chainlink/ Concertina wire desert prisons for the EXISTING Federal Law for a mandatory 6 month imprisonment for repeat offenders who have invaded our Country more than once.
7.) Transfer Border Invasion Enforcement to the US National Guard in each State, and thus under the control of the Governor of each State. The less Federal involvement, the better.
8.) Repeal all State and Federal Laws that prohibit voter officials and Police from requesting proof of US Citizenship for any reason what so ever.
9.) Be as hostile to all illegal alien invaders as we should be to all Federal politicians and Federal Judges who vote for or support another Ted Kennedy-style amnesty bill with no significant Federal enforcement.
Contact your local TEA Party, and plan to kick the sorry RINOs and even sorrier Democrats out of Congress in 2014!
It is all about the money FReepers, YOUR tax money.
They’re making their choice...time for a conservative party, as the GOP ain’t it.
**
Amen!
We need to know which exact companies they represent and boycott the hell out of them.
&&&
Please ping me if someone puts up the list.
You ‘rich’ donors are traitors. You should be ashamed and slink on off to whatever haven you’ve built because your dead to me.

I second that!
