V**ers Reject A Do-Nothing House Which Produced No Good Action On Immigration
If the Republicans don't fix their messes now... it's going to be that much harder to fix once Nancy Pelosi takes over the House.
Patriot,
Republicans in the House did nothing on immigration, and they've paid for it by losing control.
The problem wasn't that the Republicans talked too much about immigration, it was that they did too little.
Now, this criticism doesn't apply to everyone. Some House members both talked and ACTED as champions to reform immigration. On the whole, they fared better than others from their party. We're not just speculating about what v**ers really wanted. We commissioned the exit-poll questions to prove it.
Immediately after polls closed Tuesday evening, Pulse Opinion began calling v**ers in the 31 toss-up districts polled, regardless of party, to find out why they had v**ed as they did. V**ers overwhelmingly rejected a deal to fund President Trump's wall in exchange for codifying DACA:
QUESTION: Do you support another compromise being considered that would legalize certain young-adult i*****l i*******ts brought to the United States as children and would greatly increase walls and fencing on the Mexico border, but would keep total immigration at one million a year while continuing extended family migration and allowing employers to hire without checking legal status with E-Verify?
20% Yes. 58% No.
An overwhelming majority of v**ers wanted E-Verify, which the Republican-led Congress failed to deliver.
QUESTION: In trying to control i*****l i*********n, how important is it to mandate that all employers use the electronic E-Verify system so only legal workers can obtain jobs?
79% said it was important.
Now, some analysis of the e******n in the House:
Of the 41 current House members who ran for re-e******n and earned an "A+" immigration grade from NumbersUSA, only two lost their seats.
Believe me, we don't take any pleasure in telling Speaker Paul Ryan and his deputies, "We told you so." We've got too much work to do working on the Lame Duck session this month and next, and working on our strategy for surviving and thriving with a largely hostile Democratic majority in the House!
Just as in the Republican victories in the Senate, v**ers obviously favored candidates who RAN and ACTED on controlling immigration.
What is NumbersUSA's next move?
It's not only that the Republican-led Congress did nothing good on immigration; it's that they are still on the verge of making immigration a lot worse.
Between now and the start of the new Congress, the CURRENT Congress must pass a Homeland Security spending bill. And the one that has so far made its way through committee has some terrible amendments.
If not addressed immediately, the bill will further increase and encourage i*****l i*********n, not stop it.
These amendments are so bad they could devastate attempts to fight i*****l i*********n.
We need to fix this and reverse these amendments now. If we don't, it will be so much harder to do so next year, with the new Congress led by Nancy Pelosi. But to fix this, we need your help!
Here are three amendments to the DHS appropriations bill that have got to go:
Price (D-NC) Amendment
Blocks administration efforts to strengthen the "credible fear" standard for asylum seekers. If this amendment passes, many in those caravans of i*****l a***ns who arrive at our borders will claim asylum and be released into the streets of America. It won't matter that very few will have any basis for asylum; they can just disappear.
Andy Harris (R-MD) H-2B expansion
Permanent exemption for returning workers from the previous two years (seasonal & temporary) from being counted against H2B caps of 66,000/yr. H2Bs are for hiring low-sk**led temporary & seasonal workers to work in non-agricultural sectors. This bill could result in tripling numbers of these visas issued each year.
Dan Newhouse (R-Wash) H-2A guestworker visa expansion
Would allow currently seasonal H-2A visas to be used year-round, regardless of whether or not a job is temporary or seasonal, thus exposing workers in agricultural jobs like dairy to unlimited foreign worker competition.
We're going to have to fight like mad to fix these in the next few weeks. And to do that, we're going to need your support.
We know it won't be easy. We'll need your support to help millions of your NumbersUSA activist peers demand change. Will we waste this last chance?
Or will you help us prevent the Republican leadership from doing Nancy Pelosi's dirty work for her?
Please pay very close attention over the next few weeks. We may also have to alert you to some emergencies: We h**e to give anyone ideas, but there's a chance that some bad legislation can get pushed as well; a lot of unfriendly congressmen are leaving!
I'd also like to leave you with some positivity: I bet some of you are thinking that the Democrats taking over Congress means that the opportunity for reform is past.
That's not so! Ours is not a partisan issue. It will be very tough to move legislation past Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But there's a stronger Senate that may be more committed to our cause. And there are many Democrats who support E-Verify, or reducing unnecessary visas. And a lot of candidates burnished their "moderate" credentials by expressing their support for ICE, etc.
If anything, support for our cause has grown since 2016. Don't forget that there will be a lot of must-pass legislation. Passing legislation required bipartisan support in 2017, and it will in 2019. We may actually be in better position to press Congress to fight for our cause than we were.
Our cause is NOT about winning e******ns. If it were, maybe I'd be raising money for a PAC. What our cause IS about is convincing our leaders. And we've made so much progress!
Help us bring real progress in 2018,

They need to be irrelevant for a while. Let the survivors of both parties dance with the wild-eyed crazy woman Pelosi.
We have a more pressing problem.
Watch for a few. Copied at specific time.

Yeah well we know Trump is brilliant in letting them have enough Rope to hang themselves with but I no longer believe anything this Q thing says.
Let’s just wait to see what trump does between Jan 1 and April fools, if he arrests just 1 person and actually starts draining the swamp like all the t*****rs working for him, inlcuding Bolton, Pompeo, Mattis, McMaster and the rest.
Trump is surrounded by deep state operatives on all sides and it’s his fault for hiring from the same pool of RatF**kers.
I’m not buying it anymore and my camp is growing.
