Well, if you can believe Barry "Almighty’s" top adviser and fellow communist, Valerie Jarrett, and I’m not saying that you can or cannot, it seems that we may once again be on the verge of being knifed in the back by our stellar Speaker of the House, John Boehner. It was Jarrett who told a group of global elites on Thursday in Las Vegas, Nevada that Boehner has made a commitment to the White House to try to pass ‘amnesty’ legislation this year.
After hailing the Senate's amnesty bill that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) determined would actually lower wages for American workers, Jarrett told attendees at the yearly invitation-only SkyBridge Alternatives Conference that Boehner would help the White House make a push to get immigration reform enacted in the next three months. While I’m not saying that I believe her, but Boehner has proven that he can’t really be trusted.
Jarrett said, "I think we have a window this summer, between now and August, to get something done." And she went on to say, "We have a commitment from Speaker Boehner, who’s very frustrated with his caucus." Actually, I’d say many in his caucus are frustrated with him, especially when it comes to his willingness to bend over backwards to assist Barry while claiming at the same that he’s doing no such thing. He’s absolutely useless!
In making the claim that the Senate's bill would pass in the House if Republicans brought it to the floor, Jarrett was echoing the sentiments of Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Democrat, who has said that Democrats would want a piecemeal approach to immigration reform ‘IF’ they get all of the pieces of the Senate bill, said that there were "a lot of ways to skin a cat" and that there would be "mounting pressure" on amnesty legislation in the coming months.
The Senate's bill would double and possibly even triple the number of H1-B visas that high-tech lobbying groups covet even though our universities are graduating more workers in the science, technology, engineering, and math fields than there are jobs for. In addition, illegal immigrants put on a path to citizenship and given work visas could qualify for any job, reducing opportunities for Americans on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder.
Boehner, who hired Sen. John McCain's top amnesty adviser at the end of the last year, has previously told fundraisers in Las Vegas that he was "hellbent" on getting amnesty legislation done this year and then mocked conservative opponents of amnesty at an event in his Ohio district. Boehner also said that what he and Barry agreed the most on, when they met at the White House in February of this year, was on amnesty legislation.
House GOP leaders like Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), the GOP Conference Chair, have also floated an August deadline to get legislation on the House floor while business executives have said they thought amnesty legislation would be the "final act" of the lame-duck session. What is this urgency that Republicans have for, quite literally, creating for the Democrat Party 11 Million brand new, freshly minted, constituents? It’s insanity!
And it becomes all the more infuriating when we’re told by such party luminaries as Sen. Marco Rubio, as well as other GOP leaders, as we were on Wednesday, that even if Congress is pressured not to act on immigration legislation this year, Republicans in the Senate would "absolutely" try to pass ‘amnesty’ legislation again in the next Congress if Republicans are successful in their attempt to win back the Senate in November.
I simply do understand this need the Republicans have to be in such a hurry to bring about what would be the effective end of their party. I voted for Rubio, and now very much regret doing so. I might as well have voted for Crist. Why is it that we can’t simply enforce the laws we already have on the books? The very same laws that are now being treated as if they simply don’t exist by the same guy that Boehner seems to be so hellbent to assist!
