When House Speaker Boehner defined amnesty to the Cincinnati Enquirer on Monday, he made it clear that he is a whole-hearted advocate of amnesty.
We at NumbersUSA have been suggesting for a few years now that Boehner is fully committed to rewarding not only millions of illegal aliens but also the businesses who broke the law to entice them here. Now, with the release of his "principles" in January and his statement this week, he has fully confirmed our warning.
Here's what the Enquirer wrote about its interview with the Speaker:
Boehner fired back at some conservatives who have likened the GOP principles to amnesty. The GOP leadership’s outline called for granting legal status – but not citizenship – to many immigrants who are currently living in the U.S. illegally under certain conditions. Those include admitting their immigration violation, passing background checks, paying fines and back taxes.
“Some want to call it amnesty,” Boehner said. “I reject that premise ... If you come in and plead guilty and pay a fine, that’s not amnesty.”Only people who are absolutely committed to another mass amnesty talk like that.
