In January 2012, the “Immigration Reform” page on the official House website of Representative Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said: “In no event should we grant amnesty to those who have broken our laws and entered the country illegally. Doing so would simply invite more illegal immigration in the future.”
...Now, though, this prohibition has been scrubbed from his “Immigration Reform” page. Instead, this page now talks about how “we can all agree that our nation’s immigration system is broken” and the need to be thoughtful in remaking U.S. immigration policies. Earlier versions of this page had an almost single-minded focus on the need to enforce immigration laws. The notion that our immigration system is “broken” is often a key argument of allies of the White House’s immigration agenda.
According to Politico, Chairman Goodlatte said in a Telemundo interview that is set to air on Sunday that he is very open to legalizing current illegal immigrants...
...Representative Goodlatte’s Telemundo comments come at a time when some in House leadership are trying to revive the fortunes of a big immigration deal or series of deals — on Friday morning on the House floor, Majority Leader Eric Cantor argued that “immigration reform could be an economic boon to this country.”
The insanity of this effort on the part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and GOP Congressional leaders cannot be overstated.
Point 1: In the midst of a horrific, ongoing, five-year long unemployment crisis, the importation of millions of low-skilled, largely illiterate, non-English-speaking aliens will crush the wages of blue-collar American citizens.
Point 2: On the heels of the unfolding Obamacare catastrophe -- with millions of Americans already having lost their health insurance and up to 120 million more poised to lose their insurance next year -- Republicans intend to hand Obama and the entire Democrat Party a huge legislative victory.
Point 3: Such an act would also represent a slap in the face to the vast majority of American people -- and especially the conservative Republican base -- who oppose Amnesty. Republicans would pay a horrific price for such traitorous behavior in the 2014 Midterms.
Point 4: Legalization is certain to result in eventual citizenship for these illegals (as confirmed by Democrat Rep. Luis Gutierrez) and would prove devastating for the GOP in the years to come. Pew Research reports that 88 percent of illegals would vote Democrat if given the chance. And they will be given that chance, if they are legalized.
This is political suicide for the Republican Party. In their zeal for corporate donations, they are abandoning the base and handing the opposition a tremendous political victory.
Should this come to pass, let the record show that John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Mitch McConnell were the architects of the destruction of the Republican Party.

It isn't about R vs D.
Establishment RINO's selling out Conservatives? So what's new? They've been doing that since the Bob Dole for president fiasco.
The establishment Republican's continue to prove that GOP stands for Gutless Old Pu***es. If there is one thing worse than a coward it's a coward who lies to your face and tells you he's got your back. The establishment Republicans are doing that to us once again on Amnesty.
TeaParty got rino boehner in as speaker and TeaParty will stay away from 2014 elections
even better than staying home, you should vote democratic instead, it does more damage to the rinos.
Out of high school in 75 I learned to tape drywall before joining the Navy. Over my lifetime I have had to return to this trade, although I have two undergraduate degrees. The depressing nature of the illegals has cost me tens of thousands of dollars. They now dominate the trade from the southern to northern border, whereas it used to only hurt in the south (from Tucson). Now in my later years I am doing electrical engineering. And low and behold I am seeing more and more Indian, Pakistani, and now Bangladeshi subcontractors for huge corporations, Siemens, GE, Arinc, AECOM... These guys are going to do to white color jobs as the South and Central Americans did to the construction trades. It is coming.
The Chamber of Commerce fronting for big corps to get rino republicans to pass illegals amnesty
The big corps want cheap labor to keep fattening their profits
Wonder how pauli ryan can justify saying there is a labor shortage in America so illegals amnesty needs to pass
