Both Parties Move to the Left on Immigration

Joe Guzzardi, FloydReports.com


Republicans, traditionally oriented toward enforcing federal immigration law and Democrats, historically advocates for alien entitlements, have morphed.

The U.S. House of Representatives’ leaders have ignored House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith‘s Legal Workforce Act. By refusing to bring it (and H.R. 1505 which provides greater border protection to federally protected lands) to the floor for a full vote, Speaker John Boehner and House Leader Eric Cantor allow 7 million illegal immigrants to keep their jobs and leave unguarded easily accessible corridors through which aliens can enter. While the Republicans dawdle, President Barack Obama ordered the Department of Homeland Security to put its backdoor amnesty into effect within the next few weeks.

The Republicans failure to act on a bill the public has been clamoring for, mandatory E-Verify, is incomprehensible. In the mid-term 2010 elections, House Republicans gained 63 seats in large part because they campaigned on E-Verify and against the DREAM Act. Capitol Hill sources suspect that the Republicans, like the Democrats, have bowed to pressure from open borders lobbyists and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

With jobs by far America’s most pressing issue, the Republicans have made a conscious decision not to go forward with legislation that would immediately create employment for many of the 22 million Americans who can’t find full time jobs. Smith’s E-Verify bill, which passed committee weeks ago, would remove some of the 7 million working aliens and prevent others from being hired.

Combine the Republicans sudden squishiness with the lackluster impression the debating presidential candidates have made and the question has to be asked: Is the Republican Party able to get out of its own way?

By contrast, the Democratic immigration agenda is obvious. Americans may not like it but the Democrats set out 18 months ago to….

  1. Big Biz Republicans traditionally want cheap labor. Democrats want the welfare recipients and votes. Nobody moved left. This sub-class of illegal immigrant slavery has been winked at for decades.

    I don't think I will ever see a politician working "For the people" (aka people born here with 4 or 5 generations of ancestry) in our lifetime.

    We, the legal voters of this country…are watching and will remember when we vote that you chose the illegals over us!

  4. Donald Lutz says:

    Unfortunately we live in a country in which public policy driven by Congress and the President militate
    against the interests of the American people. We live in an oligarchy, not a Democracy; in both parties
    special interests of ideology, financial interest, and the personal ambition of our public officials are the
    primary driving forces behind political decisions.

    Isn't it amazing a person goes into a store and robs a box of cereal he will go to jail and yet illegals can come to this country to embezzle whatever they can and both parties want to welcome them.One wants their votes and the other cheap labor.Politicians talk like they want to help but they're just blowing smoke up your ass.We will never see a fence go up on our border or a moat with aligators in it like our Migger Muslim President said ww Americans want.It's a sad day in America when we let political correctness run our once great country instead of our laws.

    As my Daddy used to say, "there isn't a dimes' worth of difference between a democrat and a republican." There is one difference – democrats aren't afraid to sound off about their lunatic ideas, republicans are cowards who lie to you and do the opposite of what you want.

    There is not one of either party that is worth a tinker’s damn! Not one! All of them should be thrown out by the scruff of their filthy, lying, good for nothing, necks! I mean, picked up and THROWN OUT! At the head of the line should be what Edwardkoziol says, the Migger MuSLIME president, (my word for a muSLIME there) since they are dirty, filthy, unclean, useless, and more! I have no use for, nor any love for anything that even remotely smacks of islime, i s l i m e, meaning that they are as a peice of old meat, old and disease ridden meat that should be thrown in the garbage disposal and gotten rid of! There is not one thing acceptable about this pos in office, nor his ugly, America and American hating sow of a wife, not in any way, shape nor form! America needs to rid herself of this twin disaster, and take a huge BATH the country over, from one end to the other, America needs to be cleansed of muSLIMES, their filth, and the filth in the once “white” house, which is now a filthy dirty gray color, put there by the filthy slime who sits and infects every aspect of what he or the sow touches! I could handle a genuinely black person, one who is AMERICAN and has the proof of it, and one who is not muSLIME! The fact that this POS in office is a muSLIME, any way one slices it, he IS, and we all know it whether we admit it or not, he IS A muSLIME! His ACTIONS PROVE IT! And this is the ONE thing I cannot, and will not accept as my president! I have no president, I DID NOT, NOR WILL I VOTE FOR THIS FREAK WHO IS MURDERING MY COUNTRY ONE SLAP IN THE FACE AFTER ANOTHER!!! MuSLIMES and ILLEGAL MEXICANS SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO THEIR ORIGINS, WHERE EVER AND WHATEVER THAT MAY BE! LEAVE MY COUNTRY AND DO NOT COME BACK!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY THE FILTH CALLED muSLIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Filthy, dirty, diseased, offensive creatures who are spawns of the devil himself, sent to ruin anything and anywhere they put their filthy hands or other body parts! Violence is their game, and Murder Incorporated is their names, for, all they know how to do is destroy, and murder!!!! Of no use to anything on earth! No use at all! And the one in office is the Top Useless Tit going!!!! A true POS!!!

  8. Joy Brown says:

    It appears that we need to clean out the House of REP. again, starting with Boehner and Cantor!!!

  9. viking says:

    The Tea Party almost got it right but believed republicans again. They should have formed a true party and run Tea Party candidates for Congress.

  10. jany38 says:

    I will be pressing my friends, family, fellow republicans and the tea party to start a campaign to remove John Boehner, Eric Cantor and every republican in the House at the end of their term, who chose not to act on Lamar Smith's E-verity bill which would remove some of the 7 million working aliens and prevent others from being hired. We cleaned the swamp once and we can do it again.

    If we don't take a stand and let these politicians know it is We the People who are in charge, then we might as well fold our tent and go home where we can sit and watch this country turn into another Mexico. The only advantage to that is we won't have to fight the battles anymore because we'll be the minority. Let the mexicans and the muslims fight it out for control of the USA.
