HEY! Mr. Tan in a Can! Unless "Boehner" is Native American in origin, go FUCK yourself.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."





House Minority Leader John Boehner on Sunday said he's open to talks on changing the U.S. Constitution -- or at least the way it's interpreted -- so that U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are not automatically U.S. citizens.

"I think it's worth considering," Boehner said.

The top House Republican joined Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in calling for further study of the idea -- something that has been endorsed by prominent Republicans over the past few weeks. Though the call is already running into stiff opposition and faces extremely long odds of ever succeeding, some lawmakers say it would be a way to minimize the incentive for illegal immigration.

"There is a problem. To provide an incentive for illegal immigrants to come here so that their children can be U.S. citizens does, in fact, draw more people to our country," Boehner said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I do think that it's time for us to secure our borders and enforce the law and allow this conversation about the 14th Amendment to continue."

He continued: "In certain parts of our country, clearly our schools, our hospitals are being overrun by illegal immigrants -- a lot of whom came here just so their children could become U.S. citizens."

1. Democrat Justin Coussoule is running against him.

Keep your fingers crossed that he gets enough money to mount an effective campaign against Boehner. The fact that Boehner could become Speaker of the House should the Republicans gain the majority is unacceptable. I'm listening to him on Meet the Press right now and all I can say is :wtf:?

3. They want a fundamentalist totalitarian state. It starts with dismantling the 14th amendment.
They're using this as an excuse to get it going.
