3/6/14, "CPAC Immigration Debate Stacked 3-to-1 with Pro-Amnesty Panelists," Breitbart, Matthew Boyle
.
"Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), a former chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, has apparently had enough of what he sees as the pro-amnesty
mentality at the Conservative Political Action Conference. In response
to a panel which includes four proponents of comprehensive immigration
reform and one critic, Smith ripped the American Conservative Union,
which hosts CPAC, in a press release. “You have to wonder when a
self-described conservative organization stacks an immigration panel
with amnesty advocates,” Smith accused. “For the second year in a row,
CPAC has featured a panel where all but one speaker supports the agenda
of liberal Democrats and the liberal national media. ‘Truth-in-advertising’ would require CPAC to drop the word ‘conservative.’
.

There is only one panel discussing immigration at CPAC this year,
scheduled for Thursday at 3:30 PM and titled “Can There Be Meaningful
Immigration Reform Without Citizenship?”
The moderator, Mercy Viana Schlapp, is a principal at Cove Strategies. Helen Krieble, the president of the Vernon K. Krieble Foundation, will join Esperanza’s Rev. Luis Cortes, Jr. and the executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, Alfonso Aguilar, to debate the Heritage Foundation’s Derrick Morgan.
All of the panelists except for Morgan support various forms of comprehensive immigration reform, including granting legal status to illegal aliens in one form or another. They have publicly expressed those positions, as has the debate’s moderator, Schlapp.
That imbalance peeved Smith enough to issue a press release condemning CPAC.
Smith pointed to recent Gallup polling that shows only three percent of Americans prioritize immigration reform in 2014. “CPAC should focus on issues that the American people, including Hispanics, care about,” he said. “A January Gallup poll showed that only 3 percent of Republicans, independents, and Democrats consider immigration reform to be a top issue.”
If CPAC wants to talk about immigration, though, Smith said the conversation should focus on upholding the rule of law in America.
“In addition, a Bloomberg poll showed that 85% of voters want Congress to ‘strengthen border security and create a system to track foreigners entering and leaving the country’ before any other changes are made to our immigration system,” he said."

Only 3-to-1? I would’ve expected 10-to-1 myself.

CPAC has been in bed with the Open Borders/ Treason Lobby for years.

Al Cardenas and Grover Norquist run things at the ACU. They are
big amnesty supporters. My group stopped having a booth there two years
ago when Cardenas took over. Cardenas is a big Jeb Bush supporter.

Libs have long used the Orwellian ‘redefine the language tactic’
to great effect. If everyone but you calls a dogs tail a leg, it becomes
‘common knowledge’ that a tail is a leg and you are mocked for saying
it’s not..
Global warming consensus anyone?
The libs took over the GOP along with the Dems at the same time. They just needed to ease the rest of us into it with hopelessness. Thats why the GOP is now pro gay, pro illegal, pro spending and becoming anti military and pro abortion. We needed to be eased in.
There is a reason Issa refuses to do anything but dog and pony shows just as there is a reason FR has people that post all manner of anti conservative crap and attack all that THEY deem conservative. We too are being eased into compliance....
