Despite a torrent of deceptive push polls showing that Americans are agog over amnesty, politicians in both parties understand Americans are overwhelmingly against their amnesty agenda.
After all, 67% of blue state voters in Oregon rejected an effort to grant drivers licenses to illegal aliens, even though proponents of the ballot measure outspent opponents by 10-1. Accordingly, all of their amnesty bills will be couched in faux border security parlance, much like they did with the Gang of 8 bill in 2013.
The latest Trojan Horse for amnesty is the “McCaul border bill,” which is authored by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and pushed emphatically by GOP leadership. They even put out a slick 3-minute documentary style video to promote it.
Before delving into the details of the bill (H.R. 399), it’s important to ponder the following questions: why would Republicans introduce new border security bench marks and expect the president to implement them at a time when he has nullified our current laws? Why not focus exclusively on cutting off funding for agencies until he agrees to implement the laws on the books, as House conservatives pushed for last week?
The answer is as simple as it is insidious.
For the past two years, GOP leaders have carefully limited their criticism of the Gang of 8 amnesty bill to the “comprehensive” nature of the bill. They incessantly speak of a “step-by-step” approach. Why? They merely plan to implement the broad goals of the bill – phony, notional, and unverifiable border security measures years down the road, massive expansion of record high legal immigration, and immediate amnesty for illegals – through a “piecemeal” approach instead of in one bill.

GOPe should be in jail, along with Obama.
Too many of the ones in power ARE lawyers.
We have to keep fighting the pro amnesty traitors.
True. Thus, we have to fight it however we can. At least some of us refuse to surrender. As history has shown, sometimes a small but dedicated group has won against all odds.
