Darrel Issa. Vote big for him.
We need a businessman to bring this House together and push forward results.
Trey Gowdy hasn't even gotten his own bill HR 1148 that authorizes states and local governments to enforce US immigration law out of Committee when 92% of Republicans nationwide want illegal immigration stopped and our laws enforced.

Well, his goal wasn't amnesty, it was to get them registered so he could deport them. I oppose that method. I prefer authorizing states and local governments to enforce US immigration law because the local cops know who they are, where they are and what they're doing, something the feds don't know. In 2013, when he introduced this bill, that's when the government was challenging states rights to enforce US immigration law and Congress wasn't trying to pass a bill to clear the way for states to enforce US immigration law.
I'm not going to hold that bill that didn't go anywhere that was an extension of his effort many years earlier to try to register these people so they could be deported, against him. We have better alternatives now, with some wins at least partial at the US Supreme Court that uphold much of Arizona's state immigration law. We have Marsha Blackburn and Trey Gowdy's bill HR 1148 to pass, if Trey can stop hounding Planned Parenthood long enough to actually work on his own bill and get it out Committee to the floor for a vote.
The reality is Congress can't do squat on immigration until we elect at least 6 more Republican Senators than we have now and put Trump in the White House. That's just the reality.
He was a proponent some time back of increasing foreign worker visas, but I think he's realized the companies using that are cheating and by this point we actually need a Moratorium.
In any event, he would be a great Speaker overall. He's tied in tight with the Freedom Caucus, now, too, or at least I think he is, he said as much in his statements today, but right now they're already committed to Daniel Webster.
At this point, our goal should be:
ANYONE BUT RYAN. Of all the choices, he is the worst.
Is there someone out there we think would be better than Issa? Someone we can hang our hat on?
Someone who wants to deport illegal aliens and voted against TPA?

Donald Trump: I'd "be okay" with Paul Ryan as House speaker
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told "Face the Nation" in an interview set to air in full on Sunday that he'd "be okay" with Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, as speaker of the House, despite the fact that Ryan "doesn't seem to want" the job.
"Well, I think he's somebody that probably that could get good support," Trump said of Ryan, who has been pressured by GOP lawmakers to enter the leadership race since House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, abruptly removed himself from consideration Thursday. "I think he's a very nice person. I think he doesn't want it very badly, but you never know. Maybe he's playing one of the great games of all time. It is Speaker of the House, I mean, it's a great position. But he doesn't seem to want it. But I'll bet you that if it was actually offered to him, he would take it."
"Face the Nation" host John Dickerson noted Trump's suggestion that the next speaker should be "strong," asking the Republican candidate whether Ryan fits that description.
"I think he's strong," Trump said, but he added that he disagrees with Ryan's proposed entitlement reforms.
"I think that when Mitt Romney chose him last time, it was a tough choice because he's been so anti-Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, in a sense. You know, he would say he hasn't been, but they certainly played that up hard. And that was a disastrous campaign for a lot of reasons," Trump explained.
"But Paul Ryan's a good man. I know him very little, but I think he's a very good person."
And when Dickerson asked whether he'd be okay with Ryan as speaker, Trump replied, "I would be okay."
Still, Trump cautioned, "It may not be him. I mean, they have a couple of people in there, I'm not going to mention names. But people I know that are really tough and really smart. And right now, that's what we need because the Republicans never win. John, they never win. Everything, whether it's on Obamacare, whether it's on the debt ceiling, no matter what we have, there's never, ever a victory. So we need a toughness and we just don't have there right now."
Trump was also asked why he publicly took credit for McCarthy's decision not to run for speaker, and he suggested his decision to criticize McCarthy may have had an impact.
"I've been taking a little bit of credit because people have been giving me credit on [my Twitter feed.] They're saying that I spoke up against him only because it's a question of toughness," Trump explained. "He didn't seem like that. We need toughness. We need fists, we need the brainpower, and we need toughness."
Trump criticized McCarthy's suggestion that the House committee investigating Benghazi was responsible for depressing Hillary Clinton's poll numbers, saying the gaffe may have played a role in the majority leader's decision to bow out of the leadership race.
"When he made the statement on Benghazi, it was a tough statement. It was a really bad statement for Republicans, and even for the nation in a sense. Because he so disparaged what's going on," Trump explained. "And I happen to believe that what they're doing is the right thing and they're doing it for the right reason. But it was so disparaging to what's taking place with respect to Hillary Clinton and that whole fiasco that maybe she created. And I didn't like seeing that."

Oh Trump is the Master.
"I think he'd be okay."
Even though Trump points out he doesn't agree with Ryan's "entitlement reform" to cut "Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security" which made Ryan a "tough choice" for Romney, and blames on them losing the election.
You're the real deal, Donald J Trump. Lather them with modest praise while you drive the stake.
RYAN = GOP LOSES ELECTION
RYAN = POOR AND SENIORS LOSE THEIR BENEFITS
Brilliant.
I wonder if Issa is one of the really tough and really smart ones Trump is thinking about? He would be right on that.Quote:

It wasn't hidden. It was in his bill and in his statements about the bill. He never said he supported a pathway to citizenship and the bill didn't provide for one. It simply required them to register in return for a 6 year guest worker permit. There was no pathway after that in the bill.Quote:

The House Oversight Committee chairman told reporters Wednesday he can support a pathway to citizenship for some of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and that he actually prefers it to a plan that would create a second-class of citizens through alternative programs.
"I support the framework that the bipartisan group of senators are working on," Issa said. "We have to remember the 11 million people who are here are people."
Those words came directly out of Issa's mouth!
Issa Backs Citizenship Pathway
By Caitlin Huey-Burns - February 6, 2013
http://images.rcp.realclearpolitics.com/175337_5_.jpg
House lawmakers struggling to gain support for a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants might have found an unlikely ally: Republican Rep. Darrell Issa.
The California conservative told RCP that providing a citizenship option in new legislation is what President Lincoln would have wanted.
“I think all of us Republicans know that we don’t want a class of residents that will never be offered an opportunity for citizenship,” he said. “We’re the party of Lincoln, and the party of Lincoln would not accept people living in our country and not being citizens, or not being given the opportunity to become citizens.”
As the powerful chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Issa is perhaps best known for being a critical and aggressive challenger of the Obama administration. He recently led a lengthy investigation into the Justice Department’s failed gun trafficking program known as “Fast and Furious,” and led the charge to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. (The House passed a contempt citation over Holder’s failure to provide documents to congressional investigators, but the action did not lead to criminal charges because the president asserted executive privilege in the case.)
Issa also sits on the Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over immigration reform proposals. At the committee’s first hearing on reform Tuesday, Issa’s GOP colleagues sought a middle-ground solution between deporting most of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. and providing them a way to earn citizenship. Many conservatives fear the latter would be tantamount to amnesty for those who have broken the law. Tuesday’s hearing highlighted the difficult divide between Republicans in the House and in the Senate, where lawmakers like Marco Rubio and John McCain have signed on to a citizenship pathway.
Providing the opportunity to achieve legal status rather than citizenship appears to be the most viable option in the lower chamber at this point. But Issa isn’t ready to settle for that.
“As we talk about who should remain and who should go, I think ultimately we have to be reasonable and realize we don’t want to have second-class citizens in our country,” he told RCP. “If someone’s a guest worker or a temporary resident, that’s fine. But if somebody’s going to spend the rest of their life in this country, I believe that we need to have a clear pathway to citizenship, and we shouldn’t hide that.”
But Texas Republican Rep. Blake Farenthold, also a Judiciary Committee member, characterized a citizenship pathway as a major “stumbling block” in the House. Even Republicans who support a pathway recognize the difficulty it faces in the lower chamber. Florida Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a prominent Cuban-born advocate for comprehensive immigration reform, told RCP that though she sees citizenship as the preferred goal,
“I don’t think the perfect should be the enemy of the good. If we are only able to get legalization, I think that’s wonderful also because it allows people to stay here, work, pay taxes, pay their fines, and do everything they need to do. I’m in favor of citizenship path, but not against a legal pathway.”
Asked if legalization instead of citizenship would create a kind of underclass to which he had earlier referred, Issa said, “Ultimately, if you’re allowed to remain in this country permanently, in almost all cases, there should be a path to citizenship. That is what Abraham Lincoln would have said.
That’s what the Republican Party stands for.”
Ros-Lehtinen told RCP that she and Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez will introduce a bill within a few weeks that resembles the failed 2010 DREAM Act, which would grant a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants’ children who attend American colleges or serve in the military. “We favor comprehensive reform, but wanted to make sure we work on the Dreamers as a stand-alone piece in case we’re not able to get the whole enchilada,” she said.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor made news this week by supporting some elements of the DREAM Act. House Speaker John Boehner declined to do likewise, saying he wants to "foster" bipartisan reform efforts but also telling reporters on Wednesday that it is "certainly worthy of consideration."
Issa voted against the DREAM Act in 2010. But he did support (failed) legislation expanding visas for immigrants who earn American college degrees in science, math, engineering or technology. This week, he announced he would reprise that legislation (known as the STEM Jobs Act), as well as the Fallen Heroes Family Act, which grants temporary legal status to the families of deceased active-duty service members, and the Criminal Alien Accountability Act, which would mandate sentencing for illegal immigrants who come back into the country after being deported for criminal activity.

He's only on "record" as supporting a pathway for citizenship for "some" illegal aliens, not all, and that was in that one year of 2013 when they're trying to defeat total amnesty.
Yes, some years ago he supported increasing the visas, I don't think that is his current position, that was all part of that 2013 effort to defeat total amnesty.
It looks like Paul Ryan may run so he'll probably be elected, so it may not matter anyway.
They don't have my pick on the list - Louie Gohmert. ;)
They just keep scratching for one of their open borders power clique it seems.
