If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. The GOP truly thinks they can get away with pushing amnesty through because they don't believe you're paying attention.
The major amnesty bills were just the beginning. Conservatives like you raised your voices and forced the Republicans to vote down all of the amnesty bills that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell brought to a vote.
The establishment knows they can't win in the light of day, so now they're pushing amnesty in the shadows.
As you know, Congress is in the middle of what is known as Appropriations Season. This is when committees and sub-committees decide what will be in the spending bills that come to the floor in September.
Yesterday, while debating the Homeland Security spending bill, the Democrats introduced an amendment. They wanted to expand the United States' asylum policies to help more migrants get into the country.
Currently, in order to get asylum at the Southern Border, a migrant has to prove that they are being specifically targeted in their home country, usually as a means of political or religious persecution. The Democrat amendment -- written by Rep. David Price (D-NC) -- would expand this to also grant asylum for victims of gang violence and domestic abuse.
This would open the border wide up. Instead of only granting asylum to people who are being persecuted for their faiths or political beliefs, the Democrat plan would give amnesty to any migrant who claims their spouse beats them. No proof or evidence required.
If this bill passes, every single illegal alien and migrant would have a path to be able to stay in the US!
I have tremendous sympathy for real victims of domestic violence. But that doesn't qualify someone for entry into the United States and this plan is so broad, there is no telling how many illegal aliens would try to abuse it.
Already, migrants are showing up to the US border with scripts telling them how to game the system. If this new Democrat plan, all someone would have to do is tell Border Patrol that their husband/wife hit them, and they'd be welcomed in.
Want to know what is even more pathetic? A Republican committee just approved this resolution! That's right, unless we rise up and stop it, this Democrat amendment will be included in the next spending bill.
The House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee held the vote. Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS) -- shown above -- chairs the subcommittee and allowed the Democrat amendment to receive a vote. But instead of actually counting the yeas and nays, Yoder held a voice vote.
This is important. Under a voice vote, the committee members basically shout out their votes. It is then up to the chair to decide which side has more support, based upon nothing but listening to Congressmen yelling "yea" and "nay." In a voice vote, there are no recorded vote tallies. Republicans often use this tactic to pass liberal bills out of committee without forcing GOPers to have to go on the record. It's nothing but cowardice.
We have no idea which Republicans in the subcommittee voted for this monstrosity, but Yoder felt that the votes were there, so he passed it through.
This plan would open up the floodgates to make it even easier for illegal aliens and migrants to enter the US, and the GOP didn't even record the vote.
They think they can get away with this. They think they can vote to open up the illegal immigration flood gates without consequence.
Luckily, this is still in the subcommittee level. The next step will be a hearing in the full House Appropriations Committee, and then onto the House floor for a full vote. We are already hearing that Democrats are going to be pushing a similar amendment in the Senate.
If this passes, the country will be lost. There would be no need for illegal immigration. Migrants would just be able to show up at the border and claim spousal abuse or that there was a gang in their neighborhood. That's all they would need to say to be allowed into the US.
I warned you that the GOP was working on a behind the scenes amnesty surrender. This is it.
It is not to late to stop this, but we need to act right now!
It's time to fight,
