The original illegals deserving deporting were white guys and some of their dumber descendants are expecting to win the next election.

Tell me over and over again ... why would you vote for any Republican who would do this?

Cathy McMorris-Rodgers is one poster child for focusing on all the wrong stuff and doing no good for our district. She and her party are demonstrating a total lack of knowing which way the wind is blowing.

Republicans Become the Party of "Deport 'Em All" -Joan McCarter, Daily Kos

A girl wears a

Your Republican Leadership gave up. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, the most powerful Republican woman in Congress, along with her fellow honchos ... just plain gave up. They handed power to the craziest elements of their party in Congress.

Joan McCarter:
After the leadership's first attempt to bring bills to the floor on Thursday failed, Speaker Boehner and his team just gave up and handed the mess over to the crazies. The result was two bills basically crafted for Cruz and his House minions, Reps. Steve King (R-IA) and Michele Bachmann (R-MN). And, of course, the rest of the Republican caucus followed along behind, passing legislation that even the Republican stalwart Wall Street Journal finds deplorable. 
[WSJ]"The House GOP looked ready Friday to pass a bill to address the influx of children over the Southwest border, though not before providing another spectacle of internal disarray. The bill should have been a moment to redirect attention to President Obama's cynical handling of the border problem and to the Democratic Party's immigration divisions. Instead the GOP again gave the country the impression that its highest policy priority is to deport as many children as rapidly as possible back from wherever they came."
That's not just an impression the Republicans are giving, that's their policy. Nothing says that more clearly than the fact leadership caved to Cruz and turned policy-making over to Bachmann and King. Not everyone in the conference might have been happy with that, but almost all of them voted for it. Republicans now own the fact that their official policy is, in the words of Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) "Deport 'em all." They own that, and they carry it into November.
