    Boehner: You know what would help our economy? Immigration reform

    Boehner: You know what would help our economy? Immigration reform

    posted at 8:01 pm on September 18, 2014 by Allahpundit

    Skip to 24:30 for the key bit. Admittedly, admittedly, this is as rote and innocuous a statement of support for amnesty as you’ll ever hear from a GOP leader — he even stresses that we need to secure the border first — but the closer we get to the lame-duck session, the more righties are going to parse his every belch for signs of a deal on immigration. And not just righties: The LA Times perked up upon hearing this today too. As the man himself says, the sooner we get this done, the better it’ll be for the GOP donor class America. Why not November?

    This caught my attention too:
    The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is backing off its demand that President Barack Obama act by Thanksgiving on executive action aimed at repairing the immigration system. Instead, the group is set to approve a resolution calling for action by the end of the holiday season, a timetable in line with what Mr. Obama is now promising.
    The Hispanic lawmakers met this month with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough to complain about Mr. Obama’s decision to punt executive action, which is to include a ratcheting back of deportations, until after the midterm elections. They asked that Mr. Obama act by Thanksgiving, but were told instead that the new deadline was by the end of the holiday season. That’s in line with what Mr. Obama had initially said.
    Why did the CHC back down and decide to give Obama another month when he already screwed them a few weeks ago by postponing executive amnesty until winter? One theory is that it has to do with Mary Landrieu’s race in Louisiana. If neither she nor her GOP opponent, Bill Cassidy, hit 51 percent on election day in November, they’ll head to a runoff on December 6. And it’s quite possible that neither will: There’s a tea-party longshot also in the race who’s polling in the single digits, which won’t keep Cassidy out of the runoff but might keep him from hitting the 51 percent he needs to seal the deal in November. (A Fox News poll released a few days ago has Cassidy leading 51/38 but most surveys this year have him ahead by low single digits.) If that happens and then O drops an amnesty bomb around Thanksgiving, the outrage among Louisiana conservatives might be enough to sink Landrieu in December. Postponing the order until Christmas would keep this issue off the table until after they vote, which is in keeping with the White House’s strategy of avoiding the consent of the governed on immigration by all means.

    There’s another possibility, though. By waiting until the very end of the year to issue an executive order on amnesty, Obama will leave Boehner more time during the lame-duck session to make a deal with Harry Reid on some sort of bill. I don’t think Boehner would do that, not because he doesn’t want to but because it’d be such a knee to the groin of conservative voters who turned out big for the GOP on election day that the party would spend the next year trying to recover from it. (Conservatives would dutifully line up for the nominee in 2016, though, needless to say.) But if you’re O, why not stand pat for awhile and give him a chance?

    Boehner desperately wants this issue off the table and the White House knows it, which is why Obama held off all summer on issuing his order. He knows that once he makes his move, it’ll kill any chance Boehner has to bring House GOPers on board. Better to wait as long as you can and see what Boehner’s willing to do. And if you’re willing to wait all summer, wait not wait until the end of the year too?

    Draft Congressman Trey Gowdy

    Speaker of the House Trey Gowdy -- How does that sound?

    Today the Tea Party Leadership Fund is launching a nationwide campaign to draft Congressman Trey Gowdy to serve as the next Speaker of the House AND BRING TRUE CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP TO CONGRESS.

    More than 100,000 patriotic Americans have already called for a conservative to lead the House of Representatives -- our last line of defense against Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.


    Will you join the call to draft Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House -- replacing John Boehner who has too often compromised and capitulated to Barack Obama?

    Click here to sign your petition to draft Trey Gowdy as the next Speaker of the House.

    America needs a strong leader like Congressman Trey Gowdy who's proven he will stand up to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- and liberals in his own party when necessary.



    You know Trey Gowdy as the Chairman of the Congressional Select Committee on Benghazi -- hearing that started TODAY. But you also know Congressman Gowdy for so much more.

    In fact, under Gowdy's leadership:



    - We could have repealed and defunded Obamacare,

    - We could have said no to the massive debt increase in the latest tax-and-spend liberal budget,

    - We could have protected disabled veterans' pensions AND CUT CONGRESS INSTEAD; and

    - We wouldn't be on the verge of a massive new Amnesty bill.

    That's why it's so important that we raise up 1 million Americans who will put their name on the line to draft Trey Gowdy as Speaker of the House.

    And that's why I'm asking you to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition today by clicking here immediately.

    Frankly, it doesn't do Americans any good when Republicans appease Barack Obama -- and that is exactly what is happing today with John Boehner as our speaker. Whether its raising the debt ceiling, selling out our veterans (Gowdy is a veteran), pushing Amnesty, or caving in on fully funding Obamacare -- our GOP leaders have failed us.

    That's why with your help and signed petition today, we will start a grassroots movement to make Trey Gowdy the next Speaker of the House. We can't let the establishment keep putting up their cronies year in and year out to block true Conservative ideas that would shrink government and their power. Will you sign your name today?



    The Tea Party Leadership Fund mission is clear:

    1. We are dedicated to recruiting Americans who share the Founding Fathers' vision of America as a beacon of liberty and hope throughout the world.

    2. We are a grassroots movement bringing ordinary citizens together to advance fundamentally American values.

    3. We are not a political party and are not beholden to any party or politician.

    4. AND most importantly, We seek to reform the entire political environment from the bottom up and return political power to where it was always intended: the American people.

    That's why with your help, we are the perfect messenger to kick out the current liberal GOP leaders in Congress and replace them with a true, conservative leader -- Congressman Trey Gowdy.

    If you support having a strong, conservative leadership team in the US Congress -- led by a no - nonsense, conservative prosecutor and military man -- I'm asking you to do two things immediately:

    1) Please -- right now before you do anything else -- click here to sign your Draft Trey Gowdy for Speaker Petition. I need you if we are going to reach our goal of 1 million signatures.

    2) After you sign, please make a generous donation to help us reach our goal. Even $5 will help us distribute this petition to thousands more patriotic Americans. Of course, if you can afford $35 or even $75 that will be so much more helpful.

    No matter what you are able to give, please sign your Draft Trey Gowdy Petition Right away.



    The truth is -- GOP leadership elections have already started. And if the American people are going to have a conservative voice in Congress to lead the GOP -- I must have your support today.

    Sincerely,

    Rusty Humphries

    PS. I need your immediate help. GOP leadership elections have already started in the House of Representatives.

    Will you join the call to draft Trey Gowdy to be the next Speaker of the House -- replacing John Boehner, who has too often compromised and capitulated to with Barack Obama?

    Click here to sign your petition to draft Trey Gowdy as the next Speaker of the House.
