Issa for Speaker?

Out of the frying pan, into the fire

By Laocon
House Speaker candidate Darrell ISSA ("R", California), supports suicidal, subversive immigration policy.
SUPPORTS AMNESTY
2015: Cosponsored legislation to reward certain illegal aliens with amnesty in exchange for military
service
Rep. Issa is a cosponsor of H.R. 1989, the ENLIST Act. The ENLIST Act provides amnesty in the form of
conditional legal permanent residence to aliens who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces. Eligible aliens must
have been unlawfully present in the U.S. prior to 2012, continuously present in the U.S. since that date,
younger than 15 upon initial entry, and otherwise eligible for enlistment. That conditional status is
rescinded if the alien separates from the Armed Forces prior to completing the term of enlistment for
anything other than honorable conditions. The bill's main sponsor is Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA).
2014: Voted to lock in President Obama's executive Amnesty
Rep. Issa cast a crucial YES vote in helping Pres. Obama and Speaker Boehner pass the CRomnibus that
appears to fully fund the Obama amnesty through the Social Security Administration, Department of
Health and Human Services and other agencies through next September, while funding the Department
of Homeland Security part of the amnesty for the next couple of months.
2013-2014: Cosponsored legislation to reward illegal aliens with amnesty in exchange for military
service (Denham)

younger than 15 upon initial entry, and otherwise eligible for enlistment. That conditional status is
rescinded if the alien separates from the Armed Forces prior to completing the term of enlistment for
anything other than honorable conditions. The bill's main sponsor is Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA).
2005-2006: Voted against an amendment that requires complete execution of the previously instituted
entry-exit system. (A form of de facto amnesty)
Rep. Issa voted against the Sullivan Amendment to H.R. 4437 to require full implementation of the

would have provided for expedited removal of most illegal aliens. The Sullivan Amendment failed by a
vote of 163 to 251.
2004: Voted against amendment (Hayworth) and in favor of rewarding illegal aliens with Social
Security benefits. (A form of amnesty).
Rep. Issa voted against the Hayworth Amendment to H.R. 5006 that would have effectively prevented

payments to illegal aliens from Mexico. The amendment, sponsored by Rep. J. D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.),
failed by a vote of 178-225.

Rep. Issa voted for H RES 365, a four-month extension of Section 245(i), an amnesty for illegal aliens that
rewards illegal immigrants with residency by allowing certain illegal aliens to pay a 1,000 fine, to apply
for a green card in this country, and to stay without fear of deportation. H RES 365, sponsored by Rep.
Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), passed by a vote of 275 to 137.
2001-2002: Voted for a bill to extend an illegal immigrant amnesty act (Gekas).

sponsor.

2005-2006: Voted against an amendment prohibiting foreign-worker importation provisions in Free

* (NOTE on TPA: in order to pass TPA the House of Representatives split the original bill Senate-passed
bill H.R. 1314 into two bills, one dealing with Trade Promotion Authority and one dealing with the
TransPacific Partnership. As a result, when the legislation came back to the Senate for a final vote, the
Senate had to attach the TPA language to another House-originated bill, H.R. 2146 and vote to pass that
legislation). This legislation sets up fast-track procedures for the passage of trade deals negotiated by
the president. Although Ambassador Froman, the U.S. Trade Representative, repeatedly assured
Members of Congress that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will not include immigration provisions
that require the United States to change its laws, the "Living Agreement" provision of TPP means by its
very terms that President Obama, or his successor, can change the provisions of the agreement however
he chooses with no input whatsoever from Congress and regardless of what TPA instructs. H.R. 2146
passed the House by a vote of 218-208.

Other candidates:
Rep. Tom Price is another chamberboy for suicidal over-immigration, i.e., waterboy for the "U.S."
Chamber of Commerce. Price dishonestly claims to "oppose amnesty" is the easy and often misleading
part. Even Democrats claim to do that. Lots of "Republicans" make a kabuki show of claiming to oppose
amnesty, but never actually do anything to stop it like calling for executive accountability, and they
passive-aggressively work to ensure subversion and de facto amnesty. Price is one of them.
The real indicator of where he's really at is: Does he support slashing legal immigration to non-suicidal
levels? Not only is the answer "NO": He works to increase our already suicidal immigration levels and
actively sabotages efforts to cut them.

2015: Voted to grant President Obama authority to expand immigration without Congress' consent via
Trade Promotion Authority.
2015: Voted in House Ways & Means Committee for Trade Promotion Authority to expand
immigration and harm American workers.

120,000 to a total of 260,000. In addition, it would double from 10,000 to 20,000 the number of legal,
permanent, resident visas for unskilled workers. Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) was the main sponsor.
2005-2006: Voted against an amendment prohibiting foreign-worker importation provisions in Free
Trade Agreements.
Rep. Price voted against the Tancredo Amendment to H.R. 2862 to prevent the U.S. Trade
Representative from including immigration provisions in Free Trade Agreements. The Tancredo
Amendment failed by a vote of 106 to 322.
2014: Voted to lock in President Obama's executive Amnesty
Rep. Price cast a crucial YES vote in helping Pres. Obama and Speaker Boehner pass the CRomnibus that

Health and Human Services and other agencies through next September, while funding the Department
of Homeland Security part of the amnesty for the next couple of months.

On the other hand...
Rep. Daniel Webster is a straight up A who votes against expanding legal immigration and against
amnesty.
For example, in 2015, Daniel Webster stood up to the RINOs and voted against granting the President
authority to expand immigration levels without Congress' consent via Trade Promotion Authority.
