RNC Chair: Deporting 12 Million People Not Practical, Legalization “The Proper Route”

Source: BuzzFeed

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said on Thursday that there should be legalization for some undocumented immigrants.

“We never said a pathway to citizenship, and I tend to believe that legalization or some kind of legalization is the proper route, not necessarily citizenship,” Priebus said on Kilmeade and Friends.

“That’s not what the autopsy said, the autopsy said that we needed comprehensive immigration reform,” said Priebus. “Well, you and I and everyone listening know that your version of comprehensive immigration reform, my version, Rand Paul’s version, Ted Cruz’s version, you know, and someone else’s version, is a different version.”

Priebus said there needs to be a way to weed out “bad elements” of undocumented immigration. “Somehow or another that’s got to get resolved and I think that’s what all these folks are trying to work through,” said Pribeus.

Why do you think he got the nomination of YOUR party Priebus? Because a large percentage of YOUR party members want the wall, want Muslims banned, and adore the tiny handed nominee of YOUR party.


Peace

Trump's your guy, Reince-y boy, you're trying to soften his edges and
speak for him. You are irrelevant, Trump is the candidate. Trump,
love him or dump him.

which is what they are counting on for keeping control of the House.
They know they are probably going to lose the Whitehouse and the Senate but if they can keep the House past the mid terms they will then try to kneecap Hillary via the power of the purse that the House has in an effort to retake the Senate and the Whitehouse in the 2020 elections.

.. rhetoric, Priebus has opened a can of worms that will only cause NEW blowback by the very people who put Trump in the position he is in.

Then there is the business community which clearly does not those in the country and working illegally, to have ANY legal status. It's a lot harder to exploit people with legal status, so no way they want that.

Is Reince really this stupid?

I guess it does not matter because the media will never call him or Trump or the GOP on this double or even triple standard flip-flopping.

Ever since someone pointed it out, I've always loved the fact that the dudes name without vowels is RNC PR BS. It's like the man was BORN for his job.

Another article I once read referred to him thusly "RNC Chair (and obvious anagram) Reince Preibus said today ..." which was also brilliant.

Debacle. Throw a no-win issue onto the deck of the titanic, and let them both sink.

It's chilling that the GOP wants to bring an apartheid-like system to the US.
