McCarthy can bring up Amnesty for a vote now, if he REALLY WANTS TO, but he will not only lose that vote - he will also, FOR CERTAIN, lose his leadership position in November.

Obama can then appoint him Undersecretary of Undocumented Underwear:

I can only describe the reality I have known over the pass 7 years as part of a grassroots organization that lobbies on the HIll on immigration. Legal immigration is far more dangerous than illegal immigration. The status quo will make the Dems the permanent majority party. Amnesty just hastens the process.

Then none of it matters, at least as far as our hopes, values, principles and lives are concerned.

None of this electioneering matters, I mean.

So really we’re just kibbitzing here, right? Making friendships, arguing a bit, exchanging information?

And best-case scenario we speak intelligently about our own lives and circumstances in the relative short term...but long term, as far as the country is concerned, all is lost, correct?

We have entered the era of tribal politics. Demography is destiny. We bring in 1.1 million permanent legal immigrants every year and have been doing so for 25 years. 87% of the legal immigrants are minorities are minorities as defined by the USG. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. Demography is destiny. Unless we reduce legal immigration, we are finished as a party and a nation.

“If Republicans pass amnesty I’ll drop them as my registered party.”

After what the GOPe just pulled in Mississippi, I’m considering doing it now.

Tell me how the GOPe is any different than the RATs when it comes to dirty politics?

They are not. I am a conservative that believes in the true foundation of this nation. If that makes me extreme, so be it.

The GOPe can never expect my support again.

Ask George Zimmerman. According to the Census Bureau, Hispanics can be of any race. About half of Hispanics self-describe themselves as white. They are Hispanic-whites.

Hispanic is an arbitrary classification that allows whites to receive affirmative action and minority business set asides.

For example, the Virginia Department of Minority Business defines a minority individual as “an individual who is a citizen of the United States or a non-citizen who is in full compliance with United States immigration law and who satisfies one or more of the following definitions:”

1. “African American” means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Africa and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.

2. Asian American” means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands, including but not limited to Japan, China, Vietnam, Samoa, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan, Northern Mariana, the Philippines, a U.S. territory of the Pacific, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.

3. “Hispanic American” means a person having origins in any of the Spanish-speaking peoples of Mexico, South or Central America, or the Caribbean Islands or other Spanish or Portuguese cultures and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.

Re: “The New York Times reports that House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy is considered “the best hope” to win passage of a comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress after he becomes majority leader in July.”

The Conservative website “Numbers USA” agrees.

The give McCarthy a “F-minus” grade on immigration.

Re: “Legal immigration is far more dangerous than illegal immigration.”

I've been pounding that message for the last 9 years at Free Republic.

Tragically, it resonates with almost no one.

Since we stopped the Bush-McCain Amnesty in 2005, the Democrats have registered another 6 million new citizen voters.

Fact is, the Democrats now have enough voters to beat us any time they like.

Turn out is their only problem.

When Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and single white women begin to vote at the same rate Conservatives vote, the game is up.

"I don't believe there should be citizenship. I believe in the rule of law."

As mostly all lawyers, this should be all of their motto.

Therefore, "they" are breaking the law by allowing this to happen,

Can we arrest those jokers for that? Can we impeach them?
