Top committee Republicans vote for border provision WORSE than amnesty
Conservative Review ^ | July 26, 2018 | Daniel Horowitz

Posted on 07/26/2018 6:25:16 PM PDT by eccentric

We already know that most Republicans support amnesty just as passionately as Democrats, much as they support the key elements of Obamacare. We learned yesterday, in one of the most spectacular acts of perfidy ever against the citizenry of this country, that most top Republicans support open borders for the current wave of illegals as well as for the future waves, until the end of times.

For years, conservatives have been begging House Republicans to use the power of the purse in the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bills to stand for our borders, fight sanctuary cities, defund amnesty, and block judicial tyranny on immigration. Yet no matter how brazenly Obama and the courts defied immigration law, congressional Republicans refused to ever consider defunding the lawless acts in the budget bills. Fast-forward to the Trump administration, where Attorney General Sessions has finally committed to upholding the proper letter and spirit of asylum law — and almost every Republican on a top committee voted to defund the only effective means of ending the ruination of America’s borders.

Yesterday, the House Appropriations Committee, during a markup of the fiscal year 2019 DHS funding bill, voted to block the new USCIS guidance to properly interpret “credible fear” as fear of an individualized persecution by a government. As we noted before, this is the lynchpin of the entire border surge, and unless we properly interpret the law as written, the border surge, drugs, gangs, and all of the fiscal and social ills that come with them will never stop. Yet Rep. Kevin Yoder, R-Kan., — yes, that Kevin Yoder — gave his support to this Democrat amendment, and it passed by voice vote.

Yoder, as chairman of the Homeland Security subcommittee, should be a warrior for the American people and law enforcement. Instead, he is a voice for illegal immigrants. He inserted numerous amendments tying the hands of DHS and giving illegals more rights. He inserted language mandating more free phone calls for illegals and more access to facilities by members of Congress so they can further agitate and hamper our brave agents.

The entire tenor of the markup was a violation of the social compact. It’s as if the ill effects of this border surge on America — from the drugs and gangs to the crushing costs and crime — didn’t matter. He voted to push forward with an investigation of separating families when we know the entire issue is built on a lie and that many of these families self-separate.

Amazingly, Yoder did this just a day after flying on Air Force One and receiving the endorsement of President Trump! The president “thanked” him for putting $5 billion in the bill for a border wall, but the border wall is worthless with Yoder’s asylum policy. It allows anyone to come here and simply claim a bogus fear. Then we are forced to deal with their children, release them, go through endless court cases, and lose control of our country. It is now clear that RINOs like Yoder not only want amnesty for those already here but want to ensure that the invasion continues in perpetuity.

Almost nobody in Congress seems to care about we the people. Senator Tom Cotton was the only one who voiced his concern:

Tom Cotton ✔ @TomCottonAR Why is @HouseAppropsGOP voting to undermine AG Sessions's asylum reforms & throw open our borders to fraud & crime? The amendment they adopted today is the kind of thing that will kill the DHS spending bill. I hope the full committee removes it.

Out of the committee members, Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, was the only one who spoke out against the provision in committee.

Democrats desperately need more votes from immigrants.
The votes will guarantee they have the power back for many years. They can even push their Socialist agenda and redistribute any wealth.

>> President Donald Trump brought up immigration long before Ted Cruz was a serious contender. <<

He correctly guessed that Bush and Rubio were unelectable. Pardon me, but DUH!

If you’re not sure which side Trump is on, he endorsed both HR 6126, the 2018 version of the Gang of 8: amnesty for millions, enticement for tens of millions more illegal aliens, greatly expanded visa programs, no immigration reduction, no port security, no E-Verify, nothing good.

Take names and next election year, primary every single one of them.

I'll be adding this to my posts for a few days, once per thread I participate on.


Red Pill People > We Need to Know About

John Stossil intro explains: (first three people)

Candace Owens
Brandon Tatum
CJ Pearson

Larry Elder (Conservative talk show host - Los Angeles / back into the 80s [ I believe ] )
Jesse Lee Peterson (someone we've known about since before 2001)


These people are opening up the eyes of Blacks from within their ranks.

I think it's important we know who they are and promote them when we can.

I may be the last to know of them, but I don't want anyone else not to know, so here's the info.

Even if you knew about them before, this might be a decent resource for finding their work.

When you hit the links above, you'll see Google's information page.

You'll be able to learn more about them using links there.

Click on the VIDEO button at the top and you'll be taken to a list of their YouTube videos.

Enjoy.


I'm sure I've left people out, so I'd appreciate folks mentioning them to me so I can add them to this short list.

Thank you for that list.
Those are your Bush League Republicans.
Cheap Labor Express stooges.

They MUST be Cantorized and replaced with patriots.

They WILL keep working against the citizens and the rule of law until they are.

Could this simply be a campaign angle for donor money. I mean, they still have to vote on the floor after recess. There is time to have this portion of the bill removed. I mean, it’s a disaster if it isn’t. Trump will have to know what’s in it.

They are definitely angling for donations and giving the finger to voters.

That means you actually mean you want 80 new democrats in the House next year. Nancy Pelosi as Speaker. Trump impeached (won’t matter what for). Maxine Waters, Gerald Nadler, Alcee Hastings, Jim Clyburn, John Lewis and Steny Hoyer as Chairman of various House Committees?

Really? Are you mad?
