Rep. Joe Barton said Friday that he was close to introducing a sweeping proposal to overhaul the nation’s immigration system.

The plan will include a path to citizenship for children in the country illegally and a mechanism to give legal status to adults who are in the country illegally but have not committed other crimes.

Barton, R-Arlington, said his bill would be ready in a month to six weeks.

“If it were to become law, it would solve the problem,” Barton said during a recording of Lone Star Politics, which airs at 8:40 a.m. Sunday on KXAS-TV (NBC5).

Barton said his plan would put a heavy emphasis on border security, which could help mollify the most conservative Republicans in Congress.

But he said that “minor children” would get a path to citizenship and that there would be an effective guest worker program for immigrants with jobs. And Barton would give adults in the country illegally a chance to gain legal status, but not citizenship.

“If the only illegal act they committed was coming in the country without proper documentation, we put them on a path to legalization, not citizenship,” Barton said.

Many Republicans are wary of any kind of new citizenship or legal status for those in the country illegally, saying it amounts to amnesty. A sweeping measure to allow a path to citizenship has passed the Senate.

Barton said he would have support for his plan from Republicans and Democrats. But he acknowledged it would face significant opposition in his own party.

He said it was time Republicans took a different approach to the issue, noting that his 8-year-old son attended a school where half the students are Hispanic, including his two best friends.

“They are Americans, and we need to acknowledge that and find a way, to those that wish to be a part of the American dream for opportunity, to make them legal.” Barton said.

The lawmaker said being on the wrong side of the issue could hurt Republicans in future elections.

“Republicans need to start talking about it,” he said. “I’m a part of the majority party in the largest state that’s still Republican, and I want to keep it that way.”

This is not law, this is not compassion, it is not immigration policy, it is a stab in the heart of America. It is planned destruction of our country. You are quickly becoming a foreigner in your own country and this low life piece of garbage knows it, and he doesn't give a damn because he thinks it is politically expedient. Or is it that Zuckerberg had a secret appointment with him and promised huge contributions to his reelection campaign and a soft make work job big salary job if he looses reelection?

Patriots I know you are tired. I am tired, but remember amnesty is irreversible, it is death for all that is good in American and the end to any hope for a good life for your children and loved ones. Send more of the money you can't afford to the good guys' campaigns and get back on the phones and spend at least two hours a day calling, if in the evening leave a message on the phone answering machines.

And send more $$ to ALIPAC. These people more than anyone I know of deserve to get lots of $$$.

It's disgusting that these clowns show so little regard for the rule of law!

They are NOT Americans! They are illegal and should be deported along with their parents. No one becomes a citizen by being brought over the border and no one should be rewarded for it. We have proper channels for making people legal citizens. Enforce existing laws and get those illegals back to their own country where they belong.

I couldn't agree more!!!! Well said!!!!!!
Before I was disabled, I had worked for 8 years along side illegals who spoke Spanish all the time. Every day I felt as if I left my own Country. When that place closed down and I was searching for a job, I was shocked that some companies required you to speak Spanish in order to get hired! I asked one company why that was and their response was that most of their employees spoke Spanish. No American should be forced to speak a foreign language in their own Country for a job that has nothing to do with international business.

In one town I saw huge areas where one business after another had all signs in Spanish and not a word of English! Restaurants, dry cleaners etc. There was graffiti everywhere and trash. It was a nightmare to see this!

This invasion is changing the America we once knew and loved.

This will only work if ID theft, welfare fraud and tax evasion are forgiven. These are laws that American citizens are prosecuted for and illegals should not get a free pass. JMO

You're so right but these bleeding hearts will forgive them of these crimes as they were necessary under the circumstances. :twisted: :evil:

Looks like we have to pull down another ALIPAC Endorsement and add another GOP Traitor to the list!

Joe Barton (R-TX) Turns To Amnesty Side of illegal immigration debate
http://www.alipac.us/content/joe-bar...n-debate-2859/

national press release going out rescinding our endorsement now...

PAC Drops Endorsement of Rep. Joe Barton due to his Surprise Support for Amnesty
http://www.alipac.us/f8/pac-drops-en...mnesty-301765/

Not just the rule of law. Never forget the callous, cynical indifference to the suffering of real American citizens. They cry and cry (phony) with their "poor Jose" stories for illegal alien squatters and they don't give a rats ass about the suffering of real American citizens that is directly caused by the illegal alien invasion.

To call these callously indifferent political hacks scum is to demean that green slimy stuff you see growing on the top of pools of stagnant water. At least the biological scum serves some useful purpose and is not inflicting hardships on hones Americans.

Of course I do not have proof about any specific individual but anyone with a brain can understand what is going on. It is common knowledge that the mega rich are pumping millions and millions to purchase legislation for amnesty. And it is obvious that politicians are selling their votes to these mega rich trash. You can imagine what is going on out of public view. Some rich guy lacy gets an appointment to see the legislator with a simple message: If you play ball with us we will dump huge money into your reelection fund. Who will "Carpet Bomb" your way to reelection. And even if that fails we will see to it that you have a big salary job for the rest of your life so you always live a live of luxury.

Patriots this whole amnesty thing has the overwhelming stench of corruption. We need to expose it for the evil it is. You don't have to specifically name any one person. We know what is going on and in fact specific names are unnecessary. The fact that it exists is undeniable and everybody knows it. It is not big money it is "huge money" driving this amnesty suicide. If we patriots are to have any chance whatsoever, we must be at least marginally competitive with the hugely rich. We all must dig deep into our pockets and proportionally be willing to make bigger sacrifices of our money than the arrogant rich bastards.

If you absolutely do not have any extra money to give, get a part time job or go to a temporary employment agency and give the money you earn to ALIPAC or some worthy candidate. Temporary work agencies are good because you can pick and choose when, where and how long you will work. You can accept or reject job offers that fit your schedule.

FIGHT BACK PATRIOTS, FIGHT BACK WITH $$ IN ADDITION TO TIME.

Kiara, that was an excellent post. Look at the enemy; they do not engage in an honest debate of ideas, they are always using sob stories, always, and that is on purpose. Their amnesty efforts are illogical. But that is irrelevant. Emotions destroy logic. They are attempting to win the argument over amnesty by ignoring the facts and going directly to the emotional sob story anecdotes. Support amnesty because it is the benevolent thing to do is the basis of their arguments. No matter that it will destroy the country, that it is destructively expensive etc. Just focus on poor Jose and get all fuzzy warm about helping him.

Anecdotes like yours help us to neutralize the poor Jose sob stories that is the foundation of the open borders lobbies propaganda.

PATRIOTS LEARN FROM THE ENEMY, ANSWERE THE OPEN BORDRS LIES WITH ANECHDOES ABOUT THE HARDSHIPS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS INFLECTING ON AMERICAN CITIZENS. That is the best way to debate them. With appeals to emotions from real life stories.

"Ratbastard" learn from the enemy. Do not give the enemy a monopoly of the touchy feely voters. We can match them sob story for sob story and more because real American citizens should have priority over foreign squatters. See the post by Kiara below. Let the "bleeding hearts" try to justify indifference to the hardships of real Americans are suffering because illegal aliens are given special treatment.

Trust me, if the left can gain support from the "touchy-feely" voters, so can we, and I more effectively because we can connect the poor little man sob story with some good old fashioned populism, i.e. American jobs for Americans.

The "bleeding heart" voters can be brought over to ours side by using the same methods the enemy has been using.

Patriots, call this purveyor of intellectual porn and make him wish he had lost the last election. Of course this traitor to honesty will not change, but it will be very satisfying personally to dump on him, and as bad as his legislative and moral prostitution is, it would be worse if he were allowed to whore himself to Zuckerberg without any significant opposition.

Of course I do not have any concrete proof of bribery but it is common knowledge that it does exist and it is legitimate to question the motives of an anti amnesty politician who suddenly and mysteriously does a total turn around.

I am serious patriots; it is time we publically question the motives of the politicians who capitulate to amnesty. It is time that the they publically state that their vote for amnesty is not motivated by bribery or blackmail.

EXAS REP. BARTON PROPOSES BILL GRANTING LEGAL STATUS TO ILLEGALS

BY SFC DRAKE

Rep. Barton, a Texas Republican, plans to introduce a bill that would grant a pathway to citizenship to children of illegal immigrants and legal status for adults who entered the country illegally who haven’t been convicted of other crimes. Barton claimed the plan would place a heavy emphasis on border security, but it would also include a path for “minor children” to become citizens and a guest worker program for immigrants. “If the only illegal act they [committed] was coming in the country without proper documentation, we put them on a path to legalization, not citizenship.

Americans for Legal Immigration are LIVID and have rescinded their endorsement. “Rep. Joe Barton is playing the Republican trickster game, he says he wants to give illegal aliens a form of legal status but not citizenship and voting rights,” said William Gheen. “You do not have to be a lawyer to know the courts will quickly strike down any attempt of Congress to create a second class version of citizenship. Joe Barton’s illegal immigrants would eventually be given voting rightsby the courts, destroying any future hopes for border or immigration law enforcement. His promises of border security are bitter lies that will never come to fruition if the amnesty portion of his expected bill ever becomes law!”

“Using the lessons learned and mathematics established by the 1987 amnesty for illegals, we can estimate that any new form of amnesty, legalization, guest worker visa, etc… will result in more than 40 million new illegal immigrants entering America in the next two decades!”
