| It’s has been widely assumed this morning by some immigration advocates (and by yours truly, too) that the new immigration reform plan’s process of citizenship for the country’s 11 million undocumented immigrants is contingent on a commission of Southwestern officials declaring the border secure. Not true. I’ve now got clarification from Senate staff working on the bill, and it turns out that the enforcement commission’s judgments will only be advisory, and are entirely nonbinding. Congress’ actions will not be dictated by what this commission concludes;

Golly gee...we sure did something now.
But of course they didn´t.
Hate politicians. Especially RINOs.

OK, the next 11 million run right over!
Of course the real number is something like 20 million, but who´s counting...
For the rest of you who don´t feel like getting paper, don´t worry, there won´t be any enforcement either.
What a joke. Why bother?

Republicans may, in the end, have won the frustration factor. Where are these new citizens, even the brightest and best, going to get jobs? When they see how the democ rats have used them, they are not going to be happy. Remember, they are, I believe, smarter than your average Obama voter. If they are really here for jobs and opportunity, they will discover it is best to vote republican.

With McCain and Graham steering this legislation it`s bound to drive straight into a ditch.
Are there 2 more inept out of touch senators in office today?

What 11 million ??
When Bush was in office, (how long has it been now 6 or 7 years since we were talking about the illegal immigration issue ?) they were using a figure of 12 million plus.
Now they are trying to say we have fewer illegals than we did 6 years ago ???
I would agree with a n earlier comment above... my estimate is at least 20 million illegals (and that´s not even counting the hezbolah and other muslim terror cells that have come in through our southern border in the last 10 years or so)

Rubio got to Hannity and Drudge. This amnesty deal is getting the blackout treatment. Who can normal citizens trust these days? Nobody: not John McCain, not Boehner, not Tea Party fraud Rubio, not Hannity, not Drudge. The GOP is a dilapidated shack that needs to be demolished. There is no competing with a voting public that has been raised on free government cheese and brainwashed from Kindergarten to graduate school. No trophy candidates like Rubio or Liz Cheney are every going to change that fact. Besides, Hillary is going to sweep 2016 -- she already has the blessing of Ryan and Rubio. She´s already gearing up for it with her little softball interview with Greta Van Feminist. Time to burn the place down and move on. Game over.

Before the wimpy Republicans agree to any sort of Democrat legalization program actually swinging into action, they had better make sure that all the enforcement components of the deal are already in place and working, especially an enhanced e-verify type system to keep illegal aliens out of US employment, if not, the Democrats and their ethnic and immigrant rights advocates will sabotage those enforcement components administratively, through the courts, and in future Congresses. That what happened after the 1986 amnesty.
The deal should only give longtime illegal aliens a conditional immigration status, that allows them to stay here indefinitely, to work, and to travel to and from the USA. To go any further in "a path to citizenship" the legalized aliens should have to qualify for an immigrant visa to get permanent residence, as all legal immigrants have to do today, and thereafter meet all the requirements for naturalization, as all legal immigrants have to also do today.
The Democrats bottom line will always be a "direct path to citizenship" for just about all illegal aliens allowing the legalized aliens to progress almost automatically to permanent residence and US citizenship with US voting rights, knowing that about 80% of them would become Democrat voters as always has been the case in the past. The Democrats would never be doing that if they ever thought that a plurality of the legalized aliens would have an epifinany and vote for Republicans in the future. You can bet on that. Most illegal aliens are Mexicans and as the former Mexican President has said many times, Mexicans love being Mexicans and do not need or want US citizenship, they just want to work in the USA and be treated with dignity, so why are the Democrats rushing to grant them US citizenship?

Anything put together by a group with McCain, Graham, Rubio and that other guy is likely to be as out of step with rest of the GOP as is possible. And the chance of something from them getting through the House would be slim to none.
I think that very little of the Obama agenda, or the Obama-Schumer agenda will get anywhere. It´s gridlock time.

This is the Republican reaction to the election. They feel they have to ´reach out´ to get voters. They were told this repeatedly by the liberal media this is why they lost the election, remember? Who cares what it costs taxpayers, what it does to the economy, as long as they gain some perceived ´votes´.
Sad thing is, they will likely lose more votes to their actions than gains due to conservatives bailing to Independent, and voting against them.
The GOP is imploding, all by itself. Obama doesn´t need to go for the throat.

Face it folks, we´ve been sold down the river. In 1968, my mother predicted uncontrolled illegal immigration would destroy this country.
I´m so angry over this issue, I have to go away to avoid a lifetime ban. Adios.

These Republicans do not GET it! Illegal Mexicans like free stuff too..the democrats are the party of free stuff. In a stupid effort to get more votes (which won´t happen because Republicans are supposed to be fiscally responsible..HOW can they be FOR illegals?

Why should Hispanic voters cast votes for the weak kneed Republicans after all the illegal aliens have been granted amnesty? There is no reason, as the Democrats will always out bid the Republicans in creating new rights and increased benefits and services to that population group.
Most illegal aliens are poor generally uneducated people who have low incomes and big families and need social welfare services to survive here. Historically immigrants of that class have become Democrat voters. There is no evidence that such a historical perspective will change, as the liberal Democrats already run and control the ethnic communities where most illegal aliens reside.
If the Republicans go along with a liberal Democrat plan that gives just about automatic US citizenship to all illegal aliens within a few years along with US voting rights, the Republicans will have committed what amounts to long-term political suicide when the Democrats use their many millions of new voters to change the political balance of the country greatly in their favor. Once that happens the Republicans will never again be able to win national elections and it will become clear why the Republicans are called the stupid party.

What did they earn? Contempt. Richly merited. Don´t blame this on Obama. Don´t blame this on the Democrats. Of such, we expect no less than concerted efforts to damage the nation and the society. No. THIS kind of garbage belongs at the feet of the RINO´s in the Stupid Party. Among them being Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Marco Rubio, George W. and Jeb Bush. Contempt, that they´ve earned, and the undying enmity of the citizens of this land. I spit on their shadow.

Here is what will happen folks, I will map this out. Cut it out, put it on your fridge, and watch EVERY single part of what I say come true.
1) For the TWENTY million, not suddenly 11, but the TWENTY million illegal aliens, this new deal will give them amnesty.
2) There will be some ´feel good" measures in there, such as paying a fee, back taxes, etc. However, the ACLU and other groups will sue about this, and these "good, hardworking immigrants" will not pay a cent.
3) There will be no crackdown on paying these people under the table, or any serious work on the stealing of others´ identities and phony identifications. So, we will welcome and give citizenship to all these people, many of whom will not pay taxes.
4) We will allow them to bring over family members so that "families are not torn apart". Which will turn 20 million aliens into 40-60 million.
5) For the minority that actually do file a tax return, they can claim all their children and their "poverty status" and pay no taxes, perhaps get additional money sent to them.
6) All these recently arrived family members will get free medicine, school, college grants, paid for by the citizens of this country.
7) If you speak out about this, you will be labeled racist. You may be charged with a hate crime, putting your job and family at risk.
8) Your taxes will go up to accommodate.
9) Some will be happy. The liberals will get more voters, ensuring them a strong voting block. The Republicans will get an endless supply of cheap labor for their big business backers.
10) We are going to lose the Senate in the next election.
11) We will not see a Republican president again.

Thank you #25, I meant the House. And yes, I think it will be lost.
The momentum of illegal aliens converting to legal alien voters, the rise in minorities, the general dumbing down of Americans, and the rise of wimpified men and women voting with their vaginas likely has doomed us.
We survived Johnson and Carter, but with not nearly the amount of issues mentioned above.

Marco Rubio was not amused. The senator from Florida had listened patiently as a panel of hand-picked conservatives, lined up across a long table at the front of the room, took turns speaking about the prospects of immigration reform.(snip)Referencing a Jay Leno one-liner, Burgess questioned fellow conservatives about the wisdom of giving citizenship to "11 million undocumented Democrats." Laughter, some of it nervous, spread throughout the room. But not everyone found Burgess´ crack funny. According to several people who attended the June 5th gathering, Rubio glared at Burgess.

An employee of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) president Grover Norquist and a political ally of “Gang of Eight” member Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) believe groups opposed to the immigration bill pending in the U.S. Senate are "nativists," Breitbart News has learned. ATR’s Josh Culling and Hispanic Leadership Fund (HLF) president Mario Lopez will make the argument on a conference call with mainstream media reporters on Friday at 11 AM EDT. Brad Bailey of the organization called Texas Immigration Studies will join them on the call. “As the momentum behind immigration reform continues to

The Senate has rejected an amendment to the Gang of Eight bill calling for a “border security first” approach to immigration reform. A motion to table the amendment, which was authored by Republican senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and previously defeated in the Judiciary Committee, passed 57 to 43, largely on party lines. The measure would have required the Department of Homeland Security to demonstarate effective security of the southern border for six months before illegal immigration are granted legal status. The Gang’s proposal would provide legal status before additional border security measures are measured or implemented.

A Reuters survey of 52 stores run by the largest U.S. private employer in the past month, including one in every U.S. state, showed that 27 were hiring only temps, 20 were hiring a combination of regular full, part-time and temp jobs, and five were not hiring at all.

Democrats terrify Hispanics into thinking they’ll be lynched if they vote for Republicans, and then turn around and taunt Republicans for not winning a majority of the Hispanic vote. This line of attack has real resonance with our stupidest Republicans. (Proposed Republican primary targets: Sens. Kelly Ayotte, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.) Which explains why Republicans are devoting all their energy to slightly increasing their share of the Hispanic vote while alienating everyone else in America. It must be fun for liberals to manipulate Republicans into focusing on hopeless causes

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
