Is Boehner Preparing To Sell Us Out On Amnesty?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/3/boehner-legalization-advocate-advise-immigration/

Short version: Boehner has hired a notorious amnesty advocate as his Immigration Policy Advisor. She previously worked for John McCain and drafted his amnesty bill, plus worked on his disastrous presidential campaign. There is no conceivable reason for Boehner to hire her unless he is planning a total sellout on amnesty.

Another report has him telling business contributors he will wait until after the deadline for filing primary challenges to do anything. That way RINOs can vote for amnesty and not have to worry about getting primaried for two years, by which time they think the moronic voters will have moved on to something else.

I'm not surprised by any of this. Boehner is a little weasel who has mishandled every negotiation with Obama. He has turned a winning hand into a series of losses. If he pulls this off, he will probably hand the House over to democrats, as conservatives will drink battery acid before they vote for gutless, lying backstabbers like Boehner and Kantor.

 

Pretty sure the prick already has a few challengers in his primary.

 

Personally, I am not in favor of Amnesty. I like the idea of rounding them ALL up and shipping back across the border.

In Boehner and Repubs case, however, I can't be too hard on them.... they appear to have no choice.

They know that Odumbo and the Dems are GOING TO PASS AMNESTY, REGARDLESS... in an effort to secure the Hispanic vote in block... just like the blacks vote for black candidates. The Repubs don't want that to happen, of course... and the only way to mitigate the impact is for the Repubs to be "for amnesty, also" (or at least appear to be) in the hope the Hispanic vote gets divided...

If the Repubs fight amnesty legislation, they lose big time... and they don't want Dems to "get ALL of the credit" when amnesty becomes law.

A large majority of the Hispanic vote (black vote, too, sadly) is big enough to swing ANY presidential election... and is therefore so politically valuable, the Dems would push grandma over the cliff to secure it.

 

That's their public explanation. I think that they can do the math and see that adding millions of extra voters who are poor and will vote democrat at like 70% is not a good plan. So why would they do it? I suppose to satisfy the big money contributors, who are either consumer businesses that want large families to sell to, or who want cheap labor.

The idea that republicans will get "their " share of the hispanic vote if only they sell out their core supporters is not born out by history. McCain did poorly with hispanics, depite pushing amnesty and open borders for years. Bush was an open borders and amnesty advocate, yet didn't come close to carrying the hispanic vote.

Their explanation leaves out another crucial factor, namely how many current supporters they will lose. RINOs assume conservatives have no where else to go. That could be a dangerous fallacy.

Republicans were frightened into supporting a variety of democrat-pushed racial measures, eg Civil Rights Act, now declared unconstitutional, afffirmative action/racial quota favoritism, MLK holiday, etc., despite them being unpopular with their core constituents. What did they get for that?

 

He does, but the idea is that other potentially vulnerable republicans will vote for this if they can do it when it is too late for a primary opponent to file.

 

Of course, it did occur to me that this story could just be a clever plant by the anti-amnesty forces to put Boehner in a box. They will demand now that he promise not to hold a vote after the primary deadline.

You have to marvel at the sheer incompetency among the top republicans. They have a chance to deal a fatal wound to Obamacare and instead, they link arms to protect it and spend their time annoying the base by plotting how to sneak amnesty in.

There have to be better leaders available than Boehner, Kantor and Paul Ryan.

 

Not a good plan for the country, of course. But for the Democraps? It's a terrific plan.

 

Personally, I think he will cave again.

The modus operandi of the present Republican leadership is quite simple: Pretend to resist a little, Obama pretends to fight back, then total Republican surrender.

We have seen this every single time.

 

He came on a student visa in the 1960s and never left, defying deportation orders and even racking up a DUI arrest along the way. None of that deterred the judge at today’s immigration hearing for President Obama’s uncle, an illegal alien from Kenya. She granted him permanent residency in the United States.

from NY Daily News:

President Barack Obama’s Kenyan-born uncle, who ignored a deportation order more than two decades ago, was granted permission to stay in the U.S. on Tuesday.
Judge Leonard Shapiro made the decision after Onyango Obama, 69, testified that he had lived in the U.S. for 50 years, been a hard worker, paid income tax and been arrested only once.

Asked about his family in the U.S. on Tuesday, he said, “I do have a nephew.” Asked to name the nephew, he said, “Barack Obama, he’s the president of the United States.”
Onyango Obama, the half brother of the president’s late father, has lived in the U.S. since the 1960s. He was ordered to leave the country in 1992, but remained....
