Republicans help Democrats Pass Amnesty Bill

Timothy Birdnow

The Democratic House of Representatives just passed an amnesty for illegal aliens as part of a "farm bill".  A number of Republicans supported it.

From Fox:

The Farm Workforce Modernization Act passed 260-165, with support from both Democrats and Republicans. The bill provides a process for undocumented farmworkers to seek a temporary five-and-a-half-year "Certified Agricultural Worker” status if they have worked for approximately six months in the industry in the last two years.

That status can either be renewed indefinitely, or workers (along with their spouses and children) can begin a path to permanent legal status in the form of a green card. That path, according to the legislation, includes background checks and $1,000 fine.

To secure the green card, those who have worked in agriculture for 10 years or more must work for four more years, while those who've spent less than a decade in the sector would have to work eight more years. Once workers receive a green card, they are then free to pursue work in fields outside of agriculture.

34 REPUBLICANS JUMPED SHIP!!! You have got to be freaking kidding me!

No wonder these imbeciles lost the House in the last election. They are dilligently working  to screw the pooch in 2020 too. The fact is, the American People are mad as hell about illegal invasion  immigration and that is one of the main reasons Donald Trump won in 2016. Now, here we are, approaching an election and a majority of Republicans in the House vote for a backdoor amnesty! They cannot possibly be that stupid!

But they are. According to this McClatchy article:


Why even bother to run against the Democrats in the next election?

The article continues:

"This is the only game in town that has a chance to get to the Senate that deals with an issue that is critical to farmers,” the Florida Republican said.

The legislation was crafted over a 10-month period of secret bipartisan negotiations by veterans of past immigration overhaul efforts, including Diaz-Balart and California Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren.

So, under cover of impeachment the Democrats and Amnesty Republicans have ramrodded this thing through, hoping the public doesn't find out about it. And hoping Trump can be coerced to sign it. No doubt they wanted it before him as a kind of deal; sign it and we'll go easy on you with impeachment. They are trying to make him an offer he can't refuse.

This is a disgrace, a shameful act by the Republicans. All 34 of these GOP traitors should be severely punished. Every last one of them should be primaried.

If nothing else, these idiots gave a few vulnerable Democrats some cover. Morons.
