The Republican Party doesn’t make it easy. With these razor-thin majorities, nothing will be easy. And one way to blow it is not over the Epstein files. Please, we’re not losing the midterms over that, but granting amnesty to illegal aliens could do it.
What the hell even is this? With the Senate trying to pass President Trump’s rescissions package, which codifies $9 billion in cuts—a test of sorts for another run with deeper reductions—the House Republicans felt it was incumbent upon them to hash out an immigration compromise with some of the worst people. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) might as well be a Democrat,

Such an amnesty, common sense will tell you, would serve to supercharge more mass uncontrolled illegal immigration into the USA on into the future, as future illegal aliens would expect to also be granted amnesty, especially the next time a leftist progressive or socialist Democrat President is elected. I believe Salazar is a native of Cuba so she most likely has both a personal interest and a political interest in granting amnesty to Cuban illegal aliens allowed into the USA by the Biden crew who actually ran the White House during the Biden years.

I dislike Salazar‘s manner of speaking. And I’ve never liked her take on the issues. So, she may as well be a Democrat because I believe she is.

Funny how if a white advocates for whites they are racist and xenophobic but when b lacks, hispanics, muslims...advocate for their race / ethnicity /religion... it is noble.

The country did amnesty for illegals in 1986 when Reagan was president. That sure turned out great!

Whadda deal. Criminal by illegal entry, criminal by staying in the country, criminal by working in the country, criminal by lying on an I9, and for mere $7k they get to stay here forever? With brains like this, how does Salazar find her way outta a paper bag?

This is why the GOP is called the stupid party. There's always one or two idiots with their own agenda who threaten to sink the entire ship if they can't get their own way (Lisa and Susan, I'm looking directly at you!).

Thought the same thing #4.
Just what we need, 15 to 20 MILLION ( who knows how many ) already here, allowed to stay
with all the goodies ( FREE food, FREE education ( in one's native language of course ), FREE housing,
FREE medical, FREE money on and on ) and guess which way most, if not all, are going to
vote - oops, forgot to mention, somewhere, buried in there, will be voting rights as well !!
And to top it all off, we can let another 20 MILLION in as soon as next hear !!
NO. Not today, not next week and not next year !

If something like this ever passes, she'll be the first one to be "shocked, shocked" that 40 million qualify for her amnesty. IIRC, the Reagan administration got suprised when twice as many illegals as they expected qualified for their amnesty program. Never again.

#9. You mean when 40 million leftist progressive and socialist Democrat future supporters and voters turn up and apply for amnesty. In that respect do you think that all the wimpy Congressional Republicans who voted for amnesty will claim to be “shocked, shocked”?

Rather than piling on the GOP as the stupid party, why not focus ire on stupid voters who elect left of center candidates posing as conservative Republicans or as mythical conservative populists? In the case of Florida Rep. Maria Salazar, she is reported to be a "MAGA ally" and campaigned for Trump/Vance on social media. Paradoxically, in 2021, she was also one of 34 Republicans who voted to approve the creation of the January 6 commission. She is an ideological mixed bag, like many politicians in the GOP since populism began edging out conservatism as driving party ideology.

I suspect the numbers that an amnesty would reveal, would be sort of like with an iceberg. Oh I don't mean the same extremely disparate ratio. But I do mean that the part you already see, is by no means all...or even most of it.

"THE"? as in "The -ONLY- House Republican who wants Amnesty for Illegals"...???!!!???
I'd wager a good sum that there are at least 20 or 30 of them who would like amnesty, even if they don't have the guts to say it out loud where the citizens back in their districts might hear of it.

Another outrageous betrayal! Do what I just did. Contact the Whitehouse, both your Senators, and Congressperson to vent.
This would be catastrophic if it ever became law.
