GOPBaggers trying to quietly let Immigration Reform die


And the latest slide step is the exiting of two Texas Teabaggers from the "Gang of Eight" that was working on the House proposal.
The bipartisan group in the House of Representatives that’s working on comprehensive immigration restructuring is on the verge of collapse after two more Republican members left the so-called Gang of Eight. Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart is now the group’s sole Republican.

Texas Reps. John Carter and Sam Johnson announced that they were leaving because they don’t trust President Barack Obama to enforce any legislation they produce. Republican Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho left in June over concerns about how health care benefits would be paid.

Carter and Johnson cited Obama’s handling of his health care law, accusing the president of changing provisions “with the stroke of a pen.” They also said he was cherry-picking parts of current immigration law to enforce. The practice, they said, has “irrevocably damaged our efforts of fixing our broken immigration system.”

“We want to be clear,” they said in a joint statement. “The problem is politics.”
Yes the problem is politics. But for these two douchebags who are party to a Bolshevik like extortion in support of an extreme minority position to say they don't trust President Obama is ludicrous. They have yet to show one instance where a Teabagger can be trusted, even with the money for the pizza run.
