Tillis: “We need MORE Mexicans. My yard is a mess!’
*JUUUUUUST what we asked for.*
Thom Tillis — who gives poop a run for its money in the organic fertilizer market — is teaming up with Texas senator John Cronyn — (spelled correctly) — (RINO) and Democrat Dick Durbin of Illinois to bring hundreds of thousands of illegals across the Mexican border and give them amnesty:
What is being billed as “bipartisan” talks about immigration reform is really the resurrection of the Gang of Eight through a Gang of Four, including Republican Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Cornyn (R-TX), who are in favor of amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.
The Gang of Eight crafted the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013, which expired after the House did not take up the bill
Now, Tillis and Cornyn are joining forces with Democrats Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Dick Durbin (D-IL), the latter of whom was in the original Gang.
Formal talks start Thursday, the Hill reported:
Instead of trying to craft an agreement from scratch, the group is going to use smaller, already introduced, bipartisan immigration-related bills to try to put together a package that could get the 60 votes needed to advance through the Senate.
The Hill also reported on Biden’s plan to drop Title 42 next month, which is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) statute to limit migration into the United States to protect citizen from exposure to the coronavirus:
The administration’s decision has sparked fierce pushback from Republicans as well as some Democratic senators. But the administration is also facing pressure from a swath of Democratic lawmakers and immigration advocates to stick by the decision, arguing that the Trump-era program is inhumane.
A GOP demand for a vote to effectively block the administration from lifting Title 42, which has also gotten snagged by a court fight, has stalemated a deal for $10 billion in coronavirus aid. Republicans view the two issues as related because the administration’s decision to lift Title 42 comes as there is a broader coronavirus public health emergency still in effect
“We’ve got a list,” Durbin said in the Hill report. “We’ve got a starting list. There could be some more. But it’s a starting point. I’ve talked to four or five Republican senators today. There’s a genuine interest in doing something.”
Breitbart News reported that Biden officials are now preparing for a “mass migration event” at the border where they expect a foreign population the size of Atlanta, Georgia — roughly 500,000 — to show up every month hoping to be released into the U.S. interior by the administration’s expansive Catch and Release network.
Amid those warnings, Tillis and Durbin confirmed to the Hill that they are pushing to revive an amnesty plan for illegal aliens with fellow senators, Breitbart News reported:
“Yes … we want to sit at a table and ask members who have immigration, bipartisan immigration bills, to come and propose those bills to us and see if we can build a 60-vote plus margin for a group of bills. It may not be possible, but I think it is,” Durbin said, asked about holding meetings after the recess. [Emphasis added]
Tillis, asked by The Hill about the talks, added that after the recess he wanted to “start some working groups leading up to whenever we can have a [committee] mark up.” [Emphasis added]
“The only way that we’re going to get real progress is have a four pillar discussion — so immigration reform, DACA, border security and then I think asylum reform is pretty important particularly with that’s going on with Title 42,” Tillis said. [Emphasis added]
“Asylum reform”, eh? Do you guys recall the remarks Thommy’s buddy Durbin made some years back? Durbin compared US servicemen to Nazis, the KGB AND Pol Pot’s thugs. He resisted apologizing until the heat got too intense for him and his fellow Dems. So, Durbin has more respect for illegals than he does for our servicemen. (With friends like DICK …)
This is yet another example of Thommy turning tricks for his US Chamber pimps. Not many people at all in NC want what he’s selling here. But the Chamber, with their big checks, want it. BAD.
He barely beat mortally-wounded Kay Hagan in 2014. The same with Cal Cunningham in 2020. Thom has never seen 50 percent of the vote. He and his boy Paul Shumaker like to pull the ‘Hey, Thom is better than the other guys’s guy/ gal’ scam.
We need to do better than voting for the lesser of two evils. We have to get Thilli$$$$ OUT of public office. It’s about more than a comparison with his opponent. This guy is all about pushing things that will destroy our country, while collecting big checks for his, um, work.
Not like we are surprised. Tillis played this game the entire 1st term and will 2nd term. I emailed his office about this (I blistered him) and no response to-date. Expect none b/c he would have to lie or concede his contempt. Though that doesn’t stop Doc Murphy’s office. ‘
R’s love to play this kabuki theatre game; they are NEVER cemented in their beliefs, principles; just follow the $$$. Dems will gut you open to get their agenda’s passed. Not so for our ‘so-called’ republicans. And this goes from local, state to DC.
Jesse Helms didn’t do it and was re-elected and fought some of the toughest battles ever in NC. Beat Hunt and Gannt head-to=head and never waivered in his principles and beliefs. Today we have NONE from that cloth.
Tillis is just unacceptable. We need a strong conservative challenger to this traitor. I would leave the ballot blank before I would vote for backstabbing Tillis.
Tillis playing footsie with the Democrats will destroy one of out big issues in the midterm election.
McCrory is the same. If he were the nominee, I would either cast a blank ballot or a protest vote for a minor party. McCrory is just another Tillis.
Slezbag Tillis was re-elected in 2020. That means no matter how much we dislike his actions we are stuck until 2026. Hopefully before that time the powers that currently run the NC GOP will be routed out. If you look at our current crop of NC Senators, both are steadfast RINOS. Burr is not running for re-election and his seat is up to be filled by ???.
So for the past several years, our Senators have not been representing the folks that elected them. The GOP also has several RINOS who are members of the US Congress. The difference between Senate and House Is we elect Representatives every two years. If there are issues then they can be replaced pretty fast. We are stuck with Senators six years. We (and I include myself) should have never given Tillis a second chance.
Tillis is spending $600k trying to buy the NC11 Congressional seat for his buddy Chuck Edwards!
Tillis, Burr, Moore and Berger have all endorsed and donated to Edwards.
What else do they have in common?? Paul Shumaker
Edwards FEC reports reads like a Jones St. lobbyist rolodex.
NC11 does not want Tillis/Burr clone Edwards in Congress!!
How many of the other commenters voted for him? How many conservatives have voted for him holding their nose. I have always been of the belief that a bad Republican is the same as any Democrat. The right to life called and and wanted me to vote for him the last time. Trying to pressure me. At this point I regret not voting for the Democrat. The establishment people always use those tactics and then do not care what said politician does. The NC GOP was all in and let poor Dan Forest slide. Note to party leaders. A Governor is more important to keep rather than Senate. Just for the patronage. There is a reason why NY, NJ, MD, MA all have held the Governor’s Office for at least 12 years over the past 28 years while NC had 4. Quite candidly none of those Governors were worse than ours and most were better.
In the past I would not have sided with your perspective on this but I am coming around to that direction or maybe past it in that the USA is not able to be saved at this point so really none of our votes matter but I will say had the Dem won and not Thom the Terrible then the Supreme Court Justices the Trump nominated might not have made it cause another Dem would have always voted against our values Thom just sells us out 75% of the time it seems
Proud to say I’ve never voted for Tillis, ashamed to say I’ve voted for Burr. But the thing is, Burr state Ted out as a relatively conservative seeming congressman versus what he became as Senator, which disarmed a lot of us. Tillis has been perfectly obvious in what he is going back to his time as NC Speaker of the House and people should have obviously known he was a disaster waiting to happen in Washington. Tillis screwed us so badly in his first term that when he was primaried in 2020, you’d have thought that everyone would have voted for any of the three people running against him. I appreciate what Donald Trump did as President but his endorsements of people like Tillis are absolutely wretched and it amazes me that Trump, who seems to see the world clearly, has a blind spot when it comes to the bad people he so often chooses to align with.
What we need is to rally around a challenger for the next race. We need to start organizing as early as possible.
