"Only You Can Stop Amnesty' - GOP Trio Says Leaders 'Completely Sold' on Legalization
Garth Kant * WND
WASHINGTON — The congresswoman and former presidential candidate could not be more clear, nor the situation she sees more urgent.
“The Republic is at stake” if “amnesty” is included in any immigration bill that becomes law, Rep. Michele Bachmann told WND last month.
Now, she says, the situation has actually gotten worse.
Bachmann and her House colleagues, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, and Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, have a new warning: Their own congressional leaders have joined the opposition and the only one who can stop amnesty now is you, the voter.
Amnesty is the term conservatives use to describe a path to legalization for illegal immigrants in legislation such as the bill passed in the Senate last month.
Bachmann says that bill is essentially the same as the one introduced by senators John McCain, R-Ariz., and the late Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., and defeated in 2007 after a huge backlash by the conservative grassroots.
She says the 2007 bill caused her phone lines “to melt,” provoking more outrage than even Obamacare.
This time? The phones are silent.
Bachmann thinks that’s because people simply aren’t aware that the same thing is happening again.
Bachmann, Gohmert and King rallied their colleagues to put enough pressure on House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to force him to agree to apply the “Hastert rule” to legislation coming out of a conference committee to reconcile House and Senate versions of any bill.
Sticking to the Hastert rule is a way of preventing the House from approving legislation without the approval of the majority of the Republicans.
Last month, Bachmann told WND she feared an amnesty bill coming out of such a conference would be a “Trojan Horse” because “it won’t be (most) Republicans that pass it.”
“It’ll be Nancy Pelosi leading all the House Democrats to vote for it, and just enough Republicans will vote for the bill and you’ll have amnesty.”

I don’t have a problem with amnesty or whatever they want to call it. Those people are a great source of tax revenue for Social Security and for once in a great while they will have to pay income taxes and state income taxes which will support health and educational services they suck the money out of, already.
I don’t understand the hatred for them in so much as they are people…living, breathing people. I do understand the hatred towards our own government when it come to application of the law in an equitable fashion. Those who’ve been in line should get first crack at citizenship, as an example.
