Boehner and Cantor are DREAMing

Always touting one-half of one-third control of the government, and can't even muster the stomach, much less the strength, to remotely act like conservatives who care about American law & sovereignty...(it's only appropriate to reference this news via a lib rag)
TPM: House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on Wednesday backed the principles of the DREAM Act, which provides a path to citizenship to those who were brought to the United States illegally as children.

"This is about basic fairness," he told reporters. "These children were brought here by no accord of their own, and frankly they're in a very difficult position. And I think many of our members believe that this issue needs to be address."

"It's an issue of decency, of compassion," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA). "Where else would these kids go?"

House Republicans are considering legislation that reflects the ideas of the DREAM Act as part of other piecemeal immigration reform measures.
What about border security first? What about legal residents seeking citizenship, legally? These two and their cohorts could care less.

And I have to ask, did any of you in Ohio and Virginia, or any other state for that matter, vote for this crap? Boehner has utterly squandered his speakership, and the same can be said of Cantor's so-called leadership.

ADDENDUM: Levin spoke on this last night...
On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark is fed up with the Republican Party leadership because there is no one there that is looking out for us. The Democrats have done so much damage to the country and the Republican's haven't taken advantage of any of it, and in many cases have gone along with it. Mark says that Speaker Boehner is a sell out, that he's been cutting deals with the Democrats, and that he hasn't been doing the right thing. He doesn't stand for us or represent any of our best interests. We shouldn't be asking our representatives to represent us; they should stop acting like they are celebrities and do their job. Mark discusses the Dream Act, pathway to citizenship and backdoor amnesty, all of which is being pushed by our Senate and some in our House. Boehner has the power of the purse in the House and won't use it to stop any of these programs from happening.
