Sudden GOP infighting explodes over bipartisan immigration reform bill [More]
Vichycons for Haitian Hammer Killers… ?
But wait! There’s more:
While the Salazar-Lawler bill is the worst of it, there are other efforts afoot from the same cabal of anti-MAGA “Republicans.” Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-Pa.) has reintroduced H.R. 5494, the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act. The bill expands visas for up to 500,000 alien laborers in the construction, hospitality, and other sectors and proposes a new H-2C visa program for critical jobs that do not require a college degree but are essential to business operations and U.S. economic growth.
With a name like Smucker, he has to be good (from 2016):
Change my mind on how his supporting a massive influx of foreign nationals will be good for the future of 2A.
If you were to buy a decrepit old service station, the seller has to disclose the status of the underground storage tanks and possible pollution of the ground water that likely occurred if those tanks were leaking. Because when you close the deal, you will have also bought the legal responsibility to “remediate” those old tanks and said pollution.
Congress almost goes into orgasmic bliss at the mention of bipartisan grand compromise, as if attaching those words makes the “sausage” somehow more palatable to any gentlemen paying attention to the recipe.

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (AKA Simpson – Mazzoli) was one such widely praised bipartisan grand compromises. In order to get the bill passed, the Democrats insisted that it include both an amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for certain illegal aliens then in the country. In order to get the Republicans to agree to pass and for President Reagan to sign the bill, the entire congress had to effectively promise both and the American people that the amnesty and pathway would be one time only and never to be repeated. They insisted that the conditions that gave cause for those provisions would be made unlikely because they, in turn, would agree to include stronger border measures and a mandatory nationwide program known as E-verify to turn off the jobs magnet that enticed so many illegals to defy our immigration laws. They then, almost immediately on the law’s passage, reneged on both of those promises.
But morally, the current Congress, including those who were not in office in 1986, bought responsibility for keeping those promises and the guilt for not keeping them. Much like the new owner needing to pony up for removing those old rusted out tanks under that gas station.
