This is from a month ago and doesn't appear to have been posted here. This is just HOW CLOSE were were to being sold down the river on Amnesty. This is why we cannot play footsie with the Illegals and "look the other way" or let them stay as long as they "don't get to vote". THEY MUST LEAVE.

What is most scary was that it was OUR PARTY, not the Democrats who nearly carried the plan through. They will try again, until (and unless) the Illegals are finally sent packing.

Cruz said it was his "poison pill" amendment that killed the bill.

Was he lying then or is he lying now.

It was the 7th Congressional District of Virgimia that changed the world.

Amnesty died exclusively because candidate Dave Brat beat House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Period.

Well, thank you Eric Cantor, and thank you David Brat.

I am coming to believe that anyone of the candidates who currently is in position to possibly win this thing will give us Amnesty and the permanent One Party Democrat State. Cruz and Trump have both been slid sounding on closing the border and expelling the lawbreakers but have equivocated on some form of Amnesty. And we all know about Rubio and Bush is forthright about his desire to turn the country over to the Democrats totally and permanently. And then there are Mrs. Bill and Sanders.

Virginia stands in the breach.

Great post! I hate to say it, but I think our current GOP leadership is getting ready to cave on amnesty. Heck, Ryan has already funded it! That said, this election is a sham. With 20 million “free lunch” voters...it was decided long ago...

They forced the amnesty anyway via Boehner funding Obama’s executive orders.
Ryan reaffirmed everything too, and added to it.

If we voters of 7th VA had not taken out the weasel Eric Cantor they would have passed Rubio’s amnesty bill.

The Republic still has a fighting chance if we reverse the illegal alien inundation.

Many more districts need to Cantorize their weasels.

One quick ping to you guys that responded on the thread...Watch the PBS show in its entirety, it is EYE OPENING. Here are a few points that stuck out to me:

1) The show traces Luis Gutiérrez and how he sweet-talked Republican after Republican into supporting Amnesty.

2) All suspicions that we’ve had over the years about secret meetings and secret deals behind closed doors ARE PROVEN. They keep mentioning the need to make sure that “nothing leaks out”. I think in Texas we have open meeting laws to prevent just that - I guess not in DC.

2) The 1 hour, 54 minute show NEVER shows ANY CONCERN from any Republican as to how phone calls are running, or E-Mails, or any other communication from constituents (including a Tea Party guy from South Carolina, Mick Mulvaney, who is later corrupted). We simply DO NOT EXIST as far as the show goes...and given what they nearly did, it’s likely true, as phone calls were likely 50 to 1 AGAINST amnesty then.

3) The South Carolina Republican was fed a FLAT-OUT LIE by the GOPe regarding Texas demographics. Specifically he was told that the Romney won Texas by 900,000 votes in 2012, but in 2016 there will be 3 MILLION NEW HISPANICS that can vote then (in 2016), but cannot vote in 2012. That’s pretty amazing because the entire population of Texas will not even increase by 2 million people in that time frame, and only a bit more than half of them will be Hispanic. The 3 million may be a national number, it is not a state number, but then who cares about facts when the cause is much more important?

4) The Tea Party guy above starts out his Town Hall spending 10 minutes LECTURING the people of South Carolina as to why Amnesty is the only choice for the Republican Party.

5) The Tea Party guy above and his hottie assistant snicker at locals back home when doing an “electronic town hall” (via Internet). They can’t stand getting question after question over something so ‘obvious’ as the need for Republicans to pass Amnesty.

6) Hate him as we do, Boehner is simply not willing to bring up a vote on Amnesty until at least half of the Republicans in the House are on board (the Hastert Rule). With the compromised Tea Party guy above carrying along a bunch of Republicans, they are finally able to reach that 50% mark, and the vote is planned just after Cantor’s Primary (and then canceled after Cantor loses). But Boehner does hire this REALLY SNIDE lady babe who is an ‘expert’ on immigration issues to try to bring up the Republican vote count...and she does her job. In the end, she lets us know what she thinks of Republicans in general.

7) Cantor, the House Majority Leader, is only mentioned once in the entire show (when he loses). People above and below him are mentioned all the time...that was weird. As we knew, Paul Ryan is TOTALLY ON BOARD for Amnesty, but has enough sense to not be part of the show. Had he been on this show and had it come out earlier, there is no way he would have been elected Speaker.

8) This club in DC needs to be BROKEN UP and ENDED. It is SICKENING to see the Republicans get suckered over and over again by Gutiérrez, who, in return shows us what he really thinks of Republicans, over and over.

Anyway, that’s my report - watch for yourselves if you have the time.
