REVOLT AMONG REPUBLICANS ON IMMIGRATION BILL: 70 HOUSE MEMBERS RISK CAREERS IN PLANNED SHOWDOWN WITH LEADERSHIP

Seventy House Republicans are planning a politically risky showdown with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to try to force additional debate on an immigration bill they say will mean amnesty for illegal immigrants and have dire consequences for the country.

The 70 members are petitioning for a special Republican conference meeting on the bill, a “highly unusual” move to go head-to-head with the speaker, according to Reps. Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Steve King (Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (Texas), who are serving as spokespersons for the group.

I've got a better idea, send the illegals back to their original homes, then we have to change nothing.

Let's face it. Congress no longer works for the people. All any of them care about is there own jobs. How many time, in recent years, have they voted for bills that the people are clearly against? It is clear they are no longer care what the people want. They know most people don't vote and that those that do are uninformed or dependent on the government for food, housing, phones etc. These people won't vote for change so we end up with the
same people in office. The same people who voted against the majority in the first place.
