The Threat of Cheap Denham: Don’t be fooled by press accounts that downplay the significance of Rep. Jeff Denham’s attempt to add something called the ENLIST Act to the defense authorization (NDAA) bill. It’s a significant push for a substantial immigration amnesty, and it has a good chance of succeeding. Opponents of an “Amnesty First” approach to immigration should be worried.
Here’s why:
– On the surface, it looks like Denham’s amendment would give amnesty only to an almost comically appealing group of illegal immigrants: “DREAMers” who were brought to this country when they were young and who also serve in the military–a relatively small group of people, hundreds rather than thousands in all likelihood. When his proposal drew criticism, Denham, an Air Force veteran, immediately played his cheesiest “get-out-of-argument-free” card, babbling about “members that have never worn the cloth of our nation” opposing it.
– But, of course, Denham’s amendment isn’t about helping a few patriotic DREAMers. It’s about getting an immigration bill–any immigration bill–to the Senate where Democrats led by Senators Reid and Schumer can expand it by adding as much of the massive Gang of 8 amnesty as possible, and then going to “conference’ with the House on must-pass piece of legislation. It is, to use the technical term, a Trojan Horse.

I keep hearing this b.s. about giving amnesty to illegal aliens who have served in the U.S. military. How does an illegal alien pass the background checks and get into the military?
Tice Rancor is an anagram of Eric Cantor.
I am ashamed of myself for once having thought he should have been the republican vice-presidential candidate.
They can’t get into the military legally. It is expressly prohibited by all the services. Green card holders can get in and receive expedited citizenship if they are accepted into the military.

And then Boehner bringing the conference bill to the floor without the support of the majority of the House Republican Caucus so amnesty can pass with all Dims and 20 Republican votes (incl. Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Ryan, etc.)?
Thy are breathing, what more do they need to do?
Dump the lot of them.
Vote this rat bastard rino out.
David Bratt for Congress
Like the article said, the bill is a Trojan horse that the Senate will fill with instant citizenship for all illegal aliens.
