Conservatives in the House are not rushing to embrace an immigration proposal from party leaders to offer a path to citizenship to children who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, are crafting a bill that would be the first GOP plan to deal with some of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has endorsed the idea as a matter of “fairness” to grant citizenship to children who crossed the border through no fault of their own.

No WAY Jose BUMP
Once we accept “the kids” who were “brought here through no fault of their own”, then we’ve got to hear all the whining about allowing the ones who brought them here to stay also. Then there are all of their extended family members who aren’t here yet. They are going to need to hitch a ride on the freeway to amnesty also so they can all be one big happy “family”. This whole fiasco is a fraud. Sorry but I can’t buy into this garbage. Why are we worrying about this “immigration” garbage when we’ve got more important things to worry about? Things like the AMERICAN middle class, jobs and the economy. This is BS.
Fairness my ass. The parent(s) committed the crime. The children are accessories. They are all criminal aliens.
If the parent(s) wanted to be “fair,” they could have left the kids at home while they went off and broke into our country.
How many criminals do you know that take their kids along for the ride? Perhaps the parent(s) are guilty of child abuse.
What part of ILLEGAL does Boner not understand? Get to the back of the LEGAL line like everyone else. Boner is another a-hole.
So’s Not-so-Goodlatte. Both are wimps.
This is not the first time that compassionate Republicans have used children as propaganda tools. Remember President Jorge W. Bush and his education slogan? Leave No Child Behind. Can’t get more compassionate than that.
