Breitbart: Sens. John Hoeven (R-ND) and Bob Corker (R-TN) introduced a "border security" amendment to the "Gang of Eight" immigration bill on Thursday.What a bunch of damn snakes.
When asked by Breitbart News, however, both Republicans conceded that Gang of Eight members were involved in writing the measure. "The entire 'Gang' has been involved--and, I might add, is still involved. All of our offices have been like switchboard operators for the last ten days and all of the 'Gang' has been involved and very helpful and in particular on the other side of the aisle Senator Schumer and Senator Menendez have been very active, " Sen. Corker said.
Hoeven and Corker claim that the amendment would make border security a priority before immigrants could receive a green card. However, Sen Cruz (R-TX) criticized the amendment, telling Breitbart News the amendment would "put legalization before securing the border."
Thank you, Kerry Picket. Thank you, Ted Cruz.

UPDATE: Word broke this morning that the Gang of Eight has accepted the Corker-Hoeven amendment. In other words, they've accepted their own creation. How nobel. Now the 72 hour clock starts ticking until a vote. They believe this is feta compli, even when there's no certainty that they have the votes (otherwise, they'd vote on it NOW). These blithering fools are damned and determined to pass this trash in the Senate.
