Thread: TX: Senator Cornyn to SUPPORT illegals and amnesty

Summary of this week's report:

Our illustrious senator, John Cornyn, has been working with the
Obama administration in the latest attempt by cheap labor allies
and liberal Democrats to pass an illegal alien amnesty. Please
send a fax to Cornyn about this by clicking here:

You can call his office at 202-224-2934. This is simply
unacceptable in someone who's supposed to represent Texas
conservatives.

The full story:

Senator John Cornyn has betrayed his party, the voters who put him
in office, and the people of Texas and America. Cornyn, a
Republican In Name Only, has signed on to be a part of Obama's sham
"bipartisan" effort to "reform" immigration in America. This is
nothing but a brazen plan to betray the American people by shoving
amnesty down our throats in the name of "immigration reform." It's
bad enough that Obama and the Democrats want to stab the American
people in the back, but it's unconscionable for alleged Republicans
to help them do it.

Conservative Texans have known for quite a while that Cornyn is not
one of us. On many important issues, he's a squishy moderate who
can be counted on to let us down when the stakes are the highest.
He's similar to the self proclaimed "maverick", John McCain, much
of whose presidential campaign consisted of him talking about how
well he gets along with liberal Democrats. Cornyn is always willing
to take one for the team - as long as it's the other team. It's
worse than that, actually - men like McCain and Cornyn are willing
to throw the game if it wins them adulation from the Democrats and
their friends in the liberal media. Loyalty to the people who
elected them means nothing to these sellouts.

Just look at Cornyn's response to the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor
to the Supreme Court. Sotomayor is a hard core leftist who will be
a disaster if she's confirmed for the vacant seat. She has made it
abundantly clear where she stands on issues of vital concern to
conservatives and average Americans, both with her record and her
many public statements. She has stated that a "wise Latina" like
herself makes a better judge than a white man. She made a
horrendous ruling against hard working white firefighters who got
shafted in the name of affirmative action and racial quotas. She
brags that she herself is "the perfect affirmative action baby",
who never would have been accepted into the Ivy League schools she
attended if it weren't for anti-white discrimination, because her
test scores were so low.

What was Cornyn's reaction to all this? He condemned Rush Limbaugh
and Newt Gingrich for simply pointing out her racist statements and
record: "I think it's terrible. This is not the kind of tone that
any of us want to set when it comes to performing our
constitutional responsibilities of advice and consent," Cornyn told
NPR's "All Things Considered" of the attack on Sotomayor as
"racist." "Neither one of these men are elected Republican
officials," he said of Gingrich and Limbaugh. "I just don't think
it's appropriate and I certainly don't endorse it. I think it's
wrong."

Of course a traitor like Cornyn thinks it's "wrong" to point out
that Sotomayor openly brags about her anti-white racism. Because
she's a minority, Cornyn doesn't want to hold her to the same
standard. Besides, if the word gets out about her blatant racism,
average Americans might get angry and demand that her nomination be
withdrawn and Cornyn doesn't want that. He wants to be able to pat
himself on the back for not standing in the way of the first
Hispanic woman on the Supreme Court, no matter how radical she is.
If he stood in her way, the media might quit praising him as a
"reasonable" Republican.

Cornyn has a long history of pandering to the Hispanic illegal
alien lobby by his silence. He has never been strong on opposing
immigration, although he always manages to mouth a few platitudes
when campaign time rolls around. He refuses to talk honestly about
illegal immigration at all. His favorite line is that "America's
immigration system is broken." That's not true. Cornyn is simply
being dishonest. The problem is the feds refuse to enforce the laws
or do anything about the invasion of millions of illegals. When
state or local governments try to deal with the problem some
liberal federal judge can always be found to declare their efforts
unconstitutional. The system isn't so much the problem; it's
Cornyn and his pals in DC who are the problem. They won't deal
with illegal immigration because the Democrats want to keep
importing millions of future Democrat voters, while cowardly,
backstabbing Republicans like Cornyn want to make sure that big
business has a steady supply of cheap Third World labor.

What makes Cornyn's traitorous support of amnesty under another
name even more galling our dire economic situation. Nationally,
unemployment is at 9.1 percent, the highest it has been in 25
years. Millions of Americans are out of work, and the numbers are
getting higher every month. In many parts of the country, it's
even worse. Several states, and nearly 100 metro areas, now have
an unemployment rate of 10 percent or higher. There are over a
dozen American cities where unemployment is above 15 percent. For
Cornyn to be teaming up with Obama to give amnesty to nearly 20
million illegals when millions of Americans are out of work is
absolutely despicable. Not only do we need to bring an immediate
halt to illegal immigration, we also need to start deporting the
illegals who are already here and give their jobs back to American
citizens.

If Cornyn and Obama get their way, that's not going to happen.
They want these millions of invaders to stay, even as millions of
American citizens are without jobs. Make no mistake - what Cornyn
is proposing is amnesty, no matter how much he denies it, or how he
tries to spin it. Here's his idea of "immigration reform": "I
think what we need is a plan from the president of the United
States. So far, we seem to get a sliding schedule where, first, he
says he's going to do it in the first year, and now, of course, his
spokesman says it's unlikely they'll be able to get it done this
year. But we know what the options are. There are various plans
out there. Senator Kyl and I introduced one in 2005, a
comprehensive bill. Senator McCain, Kennedy, others have offered
legislation. But what we need now is not another photo op at the
White House. What we need is a plan from the President of the
United States, if he believes it's possible for us to get this
problem solved, and we'll work with him."

When Cornyn talks about getting "this problem solved", he means
amnesty. He even recommends the infamous McCain/Kennedy bill of a
few years back, which would allow every illegal alien to stay
permanently in America simply by paying a nominal "fine".
Incredibly, Cornyn's only disagreement with Obama on amnesty for
illegals is that he thinks Obama and the Democrats aren't moving
fast enough to bring it about.

John Cornyn is a disgrace to the Republican Party and the state of
Texas. The term RINO doesn't even begin to describe his contempt
for the laws of this country or his callous and sickening disregard
for millions of unemployed Americans and their families. We have
to let him know that we won't stand for his betrayal of the people
of Texas and America. We also have to make it clear to the GOP
that we're not going to put up with any more of these sellouts and
backstabbers. We've had enough, and we're not going to put up with
it any longer. We must build a true conservative movement, one
that puts Americans and their families ahead of politicians that
only care about big business or radical minority groups.

I wonder how much they paid John Cornyn for his betrayal of the American people?

Just sent my fax to this traitor.

I hope I can pass some information that will help. I was just watching the webcast of the May 20 subcommittee hearing that Cornyn is ranking member of. It was regarding the security of the Southern US border. Sen Schumer was trying to make his case that this had improved. and even the improvement are only partially completed, and probably never will be.

BUT THE SOUTHERN BORDER IS ONLY A PORTION OF OUR NATIONAL SECURITY PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT: VISA FRAUD, MARRIAGE FRAUD, VISA OVERSTAYS, US BASED GANGS, MILITANT ORGANIZATIONS, ILLEGAL LOBBYING ACTIVITIES.

Sen. Schumer is an ignorant fool. And apparently he is trying to get Cornyn to go along with his ideas. So it is up to you Texans to set Cornyn straight that our security problems go way beyond merely what is happening on the border.

If Cornyn spent only one weekend this year in Texas, he would not be able to be swayed to approve amnesty. If he is a traitor, he will take little convincing. We are in this pickle because of Bush selling us out, and it seems there is more than one so-called turncoat Republican in his lot. Despicable.

We should ask him.

Cornyn's staff is actively denying that the Senator supports any
kind of amnesty for illegal aliens. A brief review of the
Senator's past and recent record tends to put his staff's statement
in doubt.

I think most reasonable people define amnesty as any immigration
policy that allows illegal aliens currently resident in our country
to continue remaining here without deportation. The 2005
Cornyn-Kyl bill, though promoted as "not an amnesty", did not
require illegal aliens to immediately leave the country, but rather
would have provided legal cover for their continued presence for up
to five years (a window Congress could easily and would likely
extend endlessly), and then would have enabled virtually unlimited
increase in immigration through a massive guest work program.
Politicians can play word games all they want, but that's an
amnesty and a massive increase in immigration. See here:



NumbersUSA also rated the Cornyn bill as something that would
increase amnesties:

http://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn ... nesty.html

My reasonable assumption is that any work on "comprehensive
immigration" done by Senator Cornyn will be at least as lenient as
his proposal in the Cornyn-Kyl bill, especially since Congress is
much more liberal than it was four years ago. Given the Democratic
control of Congress and White House, it's better to have no
immigration bills than what Obama-Pelosi-Reid will cook up; if they
shoved insane cap-and-trade legislation through the House over the
objections of big business, the middle class won't have a chance
trying to fight the liberals AND big business when it comes to
passing an amnesty bill.

Here's the full quote from Cornyn:

"I think what we need is a plan from the President of the United
States. So far, we seem to get a sliding schedule where, first, he
says he's going to do it in the first year, and now, of course, his
spokesman says it's unlikely they'll be able to get it done this
year. But we know what the options are. There are various plans
out there. Senator Kyl and I introduced one in 2005, a
comprehensive bill. Senator McCain, Kennedy, others have offered
legislation. But what we need now is not another photo op at the
White House. What we need is a plan from the President of the
United States, if he believes it's possible for us to get this
problem solved, and we'll work with him."

You can't have it both ways. Cornyn can't be out there encouraging
an openly socialist President to get something done about
immigration, to "work with him" on the issue and present both
Cornyn's amnesty and the McCain-Kennedy amnesty as "options" while
telling his constituents he opposes amnesty. The last thing the
Obama administration needs is encouragement from Republicans to
pursue "immigration reform". Everyone knows who's going to come
out on the losing end of that battle: the American people. You
don't ask the fox to guard the hen house.

Frankly, most incumbents in Washington, both Democrat and
Republican, have no credibility on this issue. Many Republican
incumbents want to cater to the Cheap Labor Lobby, while Democrats
want future voters through the inevitable anchor baby citizens and
chain migration that alien labor produces. Voters should trust the
analysis of independent groups like NumbersUSA over the staff of an
incumbent looking to insulate his backside from grassroots heat.

Now I understand that John Cornyn has been under a bit of that
grassroots heat recently, when he spoke at the July 4th Tea Party.
I had multiple people email me the youtube link where he was booed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i92zmYCd81s

I think it's easy for Republicans to rush to the defense of their
elected leaders and overlook some of their shortcomings. This may
perhaps be understandable (in a lesser of two evils sense) when
those Republican leaders are actively running against Democrats
that are effectively socialists, but that's not the case right now,
as Cornyn was re-elected just last year. Furthermore, all of our
leaders must be held accountable for their actions.

The bottom line is that on the illegal immigration issue, Sen.
Cornyn has in the past proposed legislation that NumbersUSA said
was bad legislation that would (in their words) "increase
amnesties for illegal aliens".

http://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn ... nesty.html

That bill has Cornyn's name on it and since he referenced it last
month as an "optional plan" I think it's safe to say he still
thinks that it was a good idea.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articl ... 97157.html

As I said before, he can't have it both ways. He can't claim to be
against amnesty and then voice support for plans that would
increase amnesties for illegal aliens.

That's my perspective at least.

He wont be the only Rino voting for Amnesty.
