Who runs the GOP and owns Paul Ryan & Marco Rubio? Let's name names!

BREAKING!  
2 hours ago
HEADLINE:  Paul Ryan 'just not ready' to support Donald Trump
HOW on earth do I make this simple enough for the rest of you to connect the @!%%  dots??!


Paul Ryan is OWNED by a powerful DC lobbyist/immigration lawyer.   Ryan was hand picked and mentored  to push his agenda.    

His name is Cesar Conda.   He brought Ryan to DC.  He also groomed and picked one Marco Rubio acting as his chief of staff and more recently running Rubio's Florida PAC, and IMO, his campaign.

 Cesar Conda and his biggest ally, Grover Norquist have an agenda.    It is to control the Republican party and the candidates who run in these elections who will implement the policies they want in place to profit their various NON profit scams.    They are not conservative or moderate or any other label you can hang on them.  They are NOTHING but amoral profiteers having found a gullible constituency in a nation of people easily fooled.
(this photo found on google search for 'Cesar Conda'.....)

The agenda?  Every lopsided, cheap labor 'trade' agreement that comes down the pike…Nafta, Gatt,  Most favored nation status for China, TPP and on and on. They are actually treaties, but this little group  has a congress willing to abdicate it's power to call them 'free trade agreements'.

AND

Uncontrolled legal and illegal immigration from South of the border and terrorist Muslim nations.  Grover Norquist, married to a Pakistani Muslim who was active in the Bush Administration is the man who LED the push for the Mosque at Ground Zero.  Donald Trump is the man who fought it!  As Karl Rove, another part of this little K St. GOP power cabal, is proud to say,  Norquist 'brought home the Muslim vote for Bush'.     They stocked the various agencies with their people!

They've become used to power, and they're NOT going to give it up easily to the ONE MAN, DONALD TRUMP, who seeks to expose and end this corruption.

These people don't 'lobby' our leaders…they OWN them.  They write the legislation!   Grover Norquist WROTE George Bush's amnesty!   Conda/Norquist WROTE the gang of 8 amnesty that THEIR little whore Marco Rubio pushed!   
An interesting story about this photo when the Senate just passed the Gang of eight amnesty.  The head between Rubio and McCain is Grover Norquist who was photoshopped out of the News item when it ran...yes, they have some control of this media!

They also RUN all your favorite 'conservative' institutions who are in your mailbox EVERY day conning you out of money to fund our destruction.  And we smile, hope and write the check to:
Americans for Tax Reform, CPAC, The American Conservative Union, Freedomworks, Tea Party Express, Tea Party Patriots, Heritage, CLUB FOR GROWTH, the NRSC, NRCC and SO many more!

Every candidate PROMISED to support the GOP nominee and DEMANDED that Donald Trump SIGN and agree to do the same.   Many are breaking that pledge.
Trump has kept his word.

EVERY candidate, save ONE,  also PLEDGED  their allegiance to Grover Norquist when they signed his infamous 'pledge'.  He OWNS your GOP congress.  He OWNS over 1300 STATE legislators!  IF you don't do what the Grover Club tells you to, you will never win another election.  They have taken out many good candidates.
 
Donald Trump is the ONLY presidential GOP candidate who has not signed that UNAMERICAN oath and onto Grover/Conda's agenda.  
NONE of this is a secret!   SO many of us have tried  for years to expose this stinking mess!
To be sure, Norquist, Conda, Rove are not the only ones.  But they are generals in their sovereignty destroying army.   They involve lobbyist run Tea Parties to confuse the grass roots,  Ralph Reed and his Christian Coalition to confuse the faithful, Steven Moore who is head economist of Heritage and mouthpieces like Hugh Hewitt and likely Levin, Limbaugh, Beck and others to fool the talk radio audience.  
 Limbaugh, Newt, Norquist  BIRDS of the FEATHER
NONE of these non profits can be trusted any longer.   
Most people tell me they've never heard of Cesar Conda.   It's PAST time they do!
MANY journalists and others have called Grover Norquist the most powerful man in DC.  Newt Gingrich said he was the smartest.  And sadly (WATCH THIS GUY, TRUMP!) Newt is usually right there with them with full support for amnesty, and BAD trade.

Illegal-immigration bill weakened by unlikely alliance
By Marcus Stern
COPLEY NEWS SERVICE
04-Nov-1997

WASHINGTON - After years of bitter losses, Sen. Alan K. Simpson thought the political tides finally favored his quest to create a way to keep illegal immigrants from getting jobs.

The issue had emerged as a hot-button during the 1996 campaign. This time, he would surely defeat the powerful and savvy pro-immigration lobby.

"As I look out on this sea of faces, there are some who have been cutting my bicycle tire for 17 years," the now-retired Wyoming Republican said last year as the Judiciary Committee prepared to debate his proposals. "They're sitting back there, hollow-eyed, twitching like dogs eating peach seeds and wondering if they can do it again. ... Well, I think that game is over."

Simpson was wrong.

Once again, he had sorely underestimated the tenacity and cleverness of special-interest groups determined to preserve the flow of undocumented workers into the United States.

Yes, Congress eventually passed a new immigration law. But it was so weak it would do little to hasten the creation of a system to help employers quickly and reliably verify that the people working for them are in fact eligible to hold jobs in the United States. Such a system is a key to curbing illegal immigration, according to many experts.

The "twitching dogs" who dragged down Simpson's initiative last year are Capitol heavyweights whose coalition on immigration falls into the unlikely bedfellows category. Among them: the National Federation of Independent Business, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Rifle Association, the Catholic church, the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Bar Association and even some labor unions.

As these special interests swarmed all over Capitol Hill, however, no lobbyist represented millions of legal immigrants and other poor people, who, because of welfare reform, soon might need the low-skill jobs now being held by the rising number of undocumented workers.

"There's no National Association of Working Poor," said Robert Reich, who served as labor secretary during President Clinton's first term. "There's no special-interest lobbying group working on behalf of very poor people trying desperately to find and keep jobs.

"If a politician has to decide between the interests of small businesses seeking inexpensive help and the interests of poor Americans either seeking a job or afraid of losing a job or declining earnings, the chances are very good that the small business has far more clout."

Special-interest clout

The clout displayed last year when the immigration lobby defeated Simpson's plan is a textbook demonstration of how special interests have long dominated immigration policy in Washington.

Simpson wasn't asking for anything remotely like a national ID card or national database of workers. He merely wanted the Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to authorize pilot projects to test methods for verifying employment eligibility.

One pilot would have required participating employers to check their new employees' Social Security numbers. Because it would apply to all of their new workers, discrimination against "foreign-looking" job applicants would have been minimized.

But the anti-verification coalition painted the proposal as a sinister plot. It portrayed it as a retina-scan ID card, police-state power, the second coming of the Holocaust and even the fulfillment of a dark prophecy in the Bible's Book of Revelation that people would be stamped with the "mark of the beast."

At one meeting of the Judiciary Committee, an irritated and clearly frustrated Simpson indignantly waved a make-believe tattoo that looked like a grocery store bar code. He called it a ploy to kill his verification proposal. He was right.

Grover Norquist, a social conservative and anti-tax Republican lobbyist, reveled unapologetically in the tactics he used to undermine the verification initiative and to mock Simpson personally.

The peel-off bar-code tattoos were supposed to remind people of the way Nazis tattooed Jews during World War II.

"It was great," recalled Norquist, who is close to House Speaker Newt Gingrich. "We had our guys walking around with tattoos on their arms. It drove Simpson nuts because the implication was he's a Nazi."

The truth, however, is that both the House and the Senate bills specifically barred the implementation of any kind of national ID card. Politicians view such a card as a political kiss of death; nobody expects Congress to seriously consider one.

Toward the end of the debate, Simpson decried the pranks and slurs.

"We have dealt with tattoos and Adolf Hitler," he said. "It is the most offensive thing that I have ever heard. It's disgusting and I'm sick of it."

'Mark of the beast'

Although voters tend to see Republicans as tougher than Democrats on illegal immigration, the weakening of the verification provisions was largely the handiwork of conservative Republicans and their behind-the-scenes strategists like Norquist.

Their success underscores how tough it is for Congress to do the one thing experts have said for decades is central to curbing illegal immigration: Establish a reliable, non-discriminatory employment verification system.

Norquist has strong ties to the business community. Mainstream firms like Microsoft paid him to lobby against other provisions of the bill, such as tighter restrictions on the immigration of computer programmers.

But his forte is mobilizing support among social or moral conservatives, including gun owners (Note: Norquist now on board of NRA), the religious right, home-schooling adherents and others he described as "anti-welfare and anti-police state."

"A government powerful enough to find an illegal immigrant is also powerful enough to find your bank accounts," he said.

Conveniently, he ignores the fact that the government long has been able to find bank accounts with ease while it still can't reliably identify undocumented workers.

"Nobody really minds people sneaking across the border and working at 7-Eleven," he added.

At one point during the debate, congressional offices received calls from fundamentalist ministers around the country asking about rumors that the verification provision would fulfill a prophecy in the Book of Revelation. Was it true, they asked congressional staffers, that people would be stamped with the "mark of the beast" under the new law?

"Six-six-six," Norquist explained matter-of-factly during an interview. "That's always been one of the arguments against the ID card. There's something in Revelations about numbering people. The 'beast' could be a big computer."

The National Rifle Association was told the bill would lead to a federal computer registry that the government could use to hunt down its members and seize their guns.

"Gun owners quite correctly understand that it would take Bill Clinton all of two weeks to add the question, 'Got any guns? Could we have a list of them? Where do you keep them?' " said Norquist.

Verification opponents also circulated mock national identification cards bearing Simpson's likeness. On the back of the cards was a retina scan diagram suggesting that the legislation called for everyone to carry such a card.

"That was a good one," Norquist chuckled.

Anti-verification coalition Conservatives didn't fight verification alone last year. They were part of a coalition of strange bedfellows involved in civil rights, ethnic and religious advocacy, anti-government politics and free-market ideology. They were also bolstered by powerful business groups.

The coalition was a juggernaut that fought virtually any verification initiative. Because Republicans control Congress, conservative lobbyists were especially influential. The fact that some limited, voluntary verification projects stayed in the bill at all outraged some conservatives.

"I view it as the camel's nose under the tent for a national ID card," said Stephen Moore, an economist with the Cato Institute who lobbied against the bill. "The theme we played to Republicans was that if you're trying to roll back big government, you shouldn't be instituting this new police-state power."

Social conservatives like Norquist and libertarians like Moore don't see illegal immigration as a major problem.

"Illegal immigration is part of the price we pay for being both a prosperous and a free country, and I'm not willing to sacrifice some of our freedoms to try to keep out immigrants, especially when I don't think it's going to work very well," said Moore.

He added that spending $3 billion-plus a year to fund the Immigration and Naturalization Service "probably is a waste of money. But this is a political issue. And the way you deal with illegal immigration is you increase the INS budget. It doesn't do a lot, but at least politicians on both sides can go home and say, `Well, how can you say I'm not doing anything about immigration? I increased the INS budget.' "

What you don't do, he said, is involve employers in enforcement.

"Sometimes in politics you pass feel-good measures," Moore said. "And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Passing a bill that's mostly window dressing is a way of defusing public alarm about something. And in states like California, illegal immigration is perceived as a big problem."

The INS contends stronger border enforcement has served as a deterrent for illegal crossers and made once dangerous and chaotic border corridors safer and more calm.

But a better verification system is crucial, insists former Labor Secretary Reich.

"Congress has to act and Congress isn't going to act if the only people it hears from are employers who don't want to be sanctioned," he said.

As long as jobs remain available, he added, efforts to stop illegal immigrants from streaming across the border are doomed to failure.

People will go on dying of exposure and exhaustion as they try to get to the jobs that are waiting for them. They instinctively understand that despite the proliferation of border guards and fences, powerful forces in our society still want them to get across.

"It gets back to the large issue haunting our democratic system right now the overwhelming dominance of special interests ," Reich said.

THE RIGHT PLAYS THE RACE CARD!


THE RIGHT PLAYS THE RACE CARD

MAR. 1, 2006

MICHELLE MALKIN

http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php? id=12836

Last week, I skewered Democrat opportunists who have turned into tough-sounding profiling advocates to exploit the White House ports debacle.

Today, I must express bottomless disgust with those on the Right who have turned into mush-mouthed race-card players to shift blame away from President Bush for his miserable mishandling of the situation.

It's one thing for feckless grievance-mongers on the Left to accuse Americans genuinely concerned about national security of Islamophobia. It's quite another for the Right to sink to such a level in accusing all good-faith critics of demagoguery. Reasonable people can disagree on the process pitfalls and security implications of the deal. But the elite Right has simply lost its marbles:

Here's GOP strategist and Muslim voter outreach architect Grover Norquist in the Los Angeles Times dismissing critics of the deal: "The only whiners left by next week will be the registered bigots."

Conservative commentator Larry Kudlow: "This whole brouhaha surrounding the Bush administration's green-light to a United Arab Emirates company slated to manage six major U.S. ports has nothing to do with protecting homeland security. Allow me to give it its proper name: Islamophobia."

New York Times columnist David Brooks: "This Dubai port deal has unleashed a kind of collective mania we haven't seen in decades. First seized by the radio hatemonger Michael Savage, it's been embraced by reactionaries of left and right, exploited by Empire State panderers, and enabled by a bipartisan horde of politicians who don't have the guts to stand in front of a xenophobic tsunami."

The UAE is our "friend," we are told, and to question that assertion, we are scolded, is to engage in reckless prejudice and life-threatening insult. Yes, well, some friends are more equal than others. To instinctively trust a longtime, stalwart Western democracy more than an Arab newcomer with a mixed record on combating terror, international crime and Islamic extremism is not "Islamophobia." It's self-preservationism in a time of war.

We are at war, aren't we?

President Bush himself is ultimately responsible for encouraging the race-card players, thanks to his stunning comment that "those who are questioning" the deal need to "step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a Great British company."

Yes, there are countless homegrown terrorists across England, where Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., the maritime company purchased by state-owned Dubai Ports World, operates. So what? So, now, a peaceful Western democracy that is infiltrated against its will by al Qaeda is on the same plane as an Arab federation whose ruling emiratis ran interference for Osama bin Laden before Sept. 11, which continued to be a logistical hub for al Qaeda for years after, which refuses to recognize the existence of Israel, bans our textbooks as "racist" because they point out Syria's state sponsorship of terrorism, and is boycotting Denmark over the Mohammed Cartoons?

Now, all the proselytizers who tell us to collect the dots and connect the dots want us to throw them all away lest we give offense?

Yes, the UAE has taken steps to cooperate in the War on Terror after the Sept. 11 attacks. Give them a pat on the back. But don't tell me that their actions over the past four years elevate them to the same level of partnership and trustworthiness as Great Britain.

That's offensive.

Perhaps Bush should consult with his own Justice Department, which understood the need for heightened scrutiny of Middle Eastern illegal aliens in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11, and instituted temporary targeted fingerprinting and registration policies for Middle Eastern tourists, businessmen and students.

Bigots!

Perhaps he should ask his own Border Patrol, which is on heightened alert for illegal Middle Eastern border-crossers.

Bigots!

Perhaps he should ask his own FBI, which is zeroing in on mosques and Muslim charities instead of Lutheran churches and the March of Dimes in the domestic War on Terror.

Bigots!

(But don't bother asking Transportation Department Norm Mineta anything -- well, other than "Why the heck are you still here, Normie?")

The sad lesson of Portgate: Scream "racism" loud enough, and people will blame the messengers and back down. By the Bush standard, we who put American security above Arab sensitivity are all bigots now.

Mrs. Malkin is author of Unhinged (Regnery).

++++++++++++

NOTE:

Here's GOP strategist and Muslim voter outreach architect Grover Norquist in the Los Angeles Times dismissing critics of the deal: "The only whiners left by next week will be the registered bigots."

That's the plan!! And Grover's the man! Norquist is the first to always pull the race card. He's been doing it since he tried to destroy Sen. Alan Simpson when he tried to do something about the border 10 years ago. Norquist is Bush's man for immigration and "muslim outreach" and bragged that he brought home the muslim vote for Bush/Cheney.

“A Spoon Full of Enforcement makes the Amnesty Go Down!"



“A Spoon Full of Enforcement makes the Amnesty Go Down!"

TownCrier Editorial

Those were the words of Mark Kirkorian with the Center for Immigration Studies as he described the fate of HR 4437, the immigration enforcement bill recently passed by the House of Representatives. Many have faced the fact that this good start legislation will be watered down, sliced, diced and embellished with a “guest worker” amnesty for as many as 20 million illegal aliens living in this country.

We should all be at the offices of our Senators, protesting and demanding, yes, DEMANDING (you know, like Mexico demands we give them carte blanche to our nation) that HR4437 be kept intact with NO guest worker/amnesty to please the senators’ big campaign donors and the whining special interests of illegal aliens.

But for many reasons, perhaps finances, health, age or apathy, most of us will not show up. The Minutemen and their supporters will, as they always do. Freedom isn’t free, people, it’s time to stand up and be counted. The opposition is in full force, doing a country wide sweep with an end protest in Washington, D.C. in February before the Senate votes on this vital legislation.

If millions of illegal border jumpers are given full US rights by this senate, the face of this country changes, forever. And there will be no one to blame but us.

Please, write, call and visit your Senator. You need to let your representative in the house know you expect him to fight for HR4437 with no guest worker provisions or you will do all you can to stop his reelection this fall.

The Senate will destroy this bill if you let them, aided by the corruption in the House of Representatives. Below are hard working, dedicated and well organized groups where you can instantly contact your congresspeople. Don’t let Grover Norquist and his CFR globalist com padres win again. They did this same thing in 1997 when they demonized Sen. Alan Simpson with lies of racism, nazism. You’ve all heard them do the same to Tom Tancredo.

The time for waiting for someone else to keep you free and safe is over. Just do it!

Those who show up, rule the world!

History repeats itself, and this time, we are the NATIVES! Who is Cesar Conda?

 http://goodolewoody.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/lowe-rubio-620x423.jpg?w=474A few years ago, I wrote a book, "Jesus Wept" an American Story.  
  The story, in part, was about Cherokee Chief John Ross, a 1/8th  Cherokee blood, white,  blue eyed greedy tyrant.   The more time goes on, the more he reminds me of Barak Obama.   

He was put in power by Major Ridge and some other realistic Cherokees, who thought the tribe, which functioned under a constitutional government,  would fare better in Washington DC if represented by Ross who would be identified more with the white leaders.   And for a time, that seemed to work. Until Ross got the taste of power and wealth and refused to give it up.  Ross was a master at race baiting and class warfare. 

When it was apparent he would be opposed by Ridge's son John,  Ross declared a national emergency over the impending Indian Removal Act, did away with the coming elections and had his political rivals assassinated, including Major Ridge, his son John, the eloquent Elias Boudinot along with some of my ancestors.  For 40 years he ruled the tribe, sometimes in exile in Washington DC, but always comfortably with the tribes treasury.   He bribed enough of the uneducated and class envious Indians to do his bidding and keep him protected. 

Sound familiar??? It should.   

My father used to tell us that the Cherokee tribe didn't need the US Government to destroy it , though they certainly did their part! They were willing and capable of doing that themselves.  In the great production on PBS, "We Shall Remain, Episode 3 'The Trail of Tears', Cherokee actor Wes Study repeated the same conclusion as my father made 50 years ago. 

When the Cherokee were finally forced to march in winter without shelter or provisions to a foreign home, thousands died.  John Ross refused to give up his power and concede there was no way to fight the federal government over removal, insisting the Cherokee stay until they were pushed out at musket point, with no way to survive the impossible journey.  If he had left  months earlier when there were better provisions and weather, as my ancestors chose to do, thousands of lives would have been saved.  He also insisted, since he operated the only store of supplies, that the trips supplies be purchased from him.   Yet, the tribe still believed his lies and followed his lead.  The wagon train of my ancestors, led by John Adair "Jack" Bell,  of 700 people only lost 21 on the trail.   This only further angered Ross, whose own wife died on their journey.

Today, the Democrat party and it's leader, Barak Obama, seem intent on destroying everything we 'natives' have become accustomed to in our way of life... free markets, marriage, family, the 2nd amendment and the right to self preservation. They refuse to enforce many of our laws, promote destruction of our many cultures, refuse to protect our borders and national sovereignty and give us no government representation.

We look to our GOP leaders, just as the Cherokee looked to Ross, and what do we find?  Feckless crybabies like John Boehner and the squishy moderate Mitch McConnell, who prop up the democrats more often than not. 

Then rides in the great 'Tea Party' Hispanic savior, Marco Rubio to 'save us'.  Because he 'looks' more like the opposition.   He 'speaks' the language of the NEW constituency!   He's the GOP's latest token 'trojan horse'.

Who is really behind Marco Rubio, and what do they want?  The Tea Party citizens thought it was them!!!  He talked the talk, and fooled us all.     No, he hasn't been taken over by Obama and the left,  as far as we know. He is part of the enemy within the right.  And for the past 30 years, it is always the same players.  They are lobbyists who our legislators hire to write our legislation because most of our elected officials let them in exchange for campaign dollars.   It is ALWAYS follow the money.

 Even John Ross willingly sacrificed his own people to keep his power and to hold out for more federal dollars for Cherokee lands.  The Cherokee Tribe was destroyed because they were incapable of realizing who their real enemies were.  It appears we are no more enlightened than the 'savages'.  We have no excuse for our ignorance, other than BLIND loyalty to sacred cows who should have been hamburger by now!

Meet Cesar Conda, chief of staff, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla
.,  close associate and fellow amnesty pusher of Grover Norquist,  who last week called all of us who want our borders secured, "Bitter enders",   He might as well have called us 'Savages'.

Here is detailed some of the undermining of immigration law these two have accomplished over 3 decades, including working closely with Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, Conda  circulated a statement against Prop. 187 of California in the nineties.   The race baiting they pulled on Alan Simpson when he tried to enforce the borders in the 90's was nothing but disgusting.

Conda, an immigration lawyer,  was Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief domestic policy adviser. After leaving there, Conda went to work on the editorial advisory board of the Soros connected publication,   The International Economy Magazine.

Even amnesty pushers on the left like Conda!
[snip] I think Cesar is the right man for the job,” said Frank Sharry, founder and executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. “Rubio is really lucky to have Cesar Conda as his chief of staff.” Conda...has been working on the issue since the early 1990s when he was part of a group of young, libertarian-minded, pro-immigration conservatives. His government experience runs deep: He worked for former Sen. Spencer Abraham, R-Mich., and was an aide to Vice President Dick Cheney. He also spent time in the private sector as a lobbyist and analyst for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and founded the Washington office of a consulting firm called Navigators Global.
Conda was also involved with The National Foundation for American Policy, a Newt Gingrich group.  Don't be fooled, Newt is all about amnesty and has always been!
" Started in 2003, the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to public policy research on trade, immigration, and other issues of national importance. Its Advisory Board members include ....Cesar Conda.... and other prominent individuals."

This statement sums up the Rubio/Conda relationship:
  "The White House’s lawyer-friendly draft shows that it “has outsourced the formation of immigration policy to the American Immigration Lawyers Association,” said Camarota.   Some of the eight senators also employ staffers who are trained immigration lawyers or who have lobbied for the immigration association before. In 2003, for example, Cesar Conda, Rubio’s chief of staff, lobbied the White House on behalf of the lawyers’ association....Given Sen. Rubio’s role in a smear campaign [using SPLC talking points] against pro-enforcement groups,” said Steve Camarota, the research director at the Center for Immigration Studies, “it does raise the question of how serious he is about enforcement.”"

Conda  worked as an advocate for the immigration lawyers’ association.
"As a founding partner of a lobbying firm, Navigators Global, he attended a 2003 meeting in the White House to promote a policy favored by the lawyers’ group, which stands to gain enormously from any law that expands or complicates immigration law.

In the late 1990s, Conda also worked as the legislative director for one-term GOP Sen. Spencer Abraham. In 2000, Abraham lost his Michigan Senate seat after NumbersUSA highlighted Abraham’s role in defeating a bipartisan immigration reform bill that would have curbed legal and illegal immigration.

During that 1996 immigration debate, Abraham opposed an employee-identification plan in the bill that would have required and helped employers reject applicants who were not allowed to legally work in the United States."

Conda had a part in the expensive bank bail outs. 
 "At this lobbying outfit, Cesar Conda is one of the lobbyists on the Citigroup account.
Previously, DC Navigators was one of AIG's go-to firms—until the insurance company halted its lobbying efforts last fall under congressional pressure. AIG, which has received $182 billion from the government, including $40 billion in TARP funds, spent more than $9 million on lobbying in 2008"

Conda was a lobbyist for private prisons who love open borders and government $$$ to incarcerate illegal aliens.
"They also now have a paid lobbyist working in the office of a Republican Senator at the forefront of the immigration debate, in a state with major immigration issues.
Take for example the chief of staff to young Republican superstar Marco Rubio, Cesar Conda.  Conda still maintains ties to a powerful lobbying firm in Florida that has lobbied for the GEO Group.  In fact, he still maintains partial ownership, and was paid between $50,000-$100,000 by the firm after he became Rubio’s chief of staff..  So he’s still being paid by companies like the GEO Group while working as the number-one guy to a US Senator.
So the GEO Group has revenues of nearly $2 billion per year, much of which comes from the federal government as payment for detaining immigrants.  It has spent more than $5 million in lobbying and political contributions in the past 8 years"

Remember when we warned the Tea Party about getting involved with Dick Armey's Freedom works because he has always been pro amnesty??.....
– Cesar Conda is a senior fellow at Freedom Works  and an editorial advisory board member of International Economy Magazine. He is a volunteer policy advisor to the Mitt Romney presidential campaign.

Conda actually states here that the Gang of 8 plan isn't AMNESTY!!  You need no more than that to know you are being CONNED BIG TIME!

Think of it!  illegal aliens vote democrat.  Fact.  They believe it is Obama working for them.  All these GOP open border amnesty purveyors like Conda get no credit for the decades of work they've done on the behalf of foreign nationals.  Instead,  Obama gets all their glory.  Ignorance never changes. And History repeats itself.

Rose Cottage, Plantation of Chief John Ross, Circa 1860, near Tahlequah, Indian Territory
  (Yes, those are African Slaves, owned by Ross)

[snip]After the assassinations in 1839, Ross's opposition refused to recognize Ross as their leader.  The still smoldering wounds and resulting alliances are outlined by an excerpt from a letter written by Stand Watie and John Adair Bell  (my grgruncle) published in the Arkansas Gazette.   It explains why after the murders of the Ridges and Boudinot they refused to address Ross as 'Chief'.  Eight Treaty Party members apologized for signing the treaty in return for amnesty from the Chief.  The assassins were also pardoned by Ross.
     "If Mr. Ross expects us to purchase our lives by swearing to the infamous oath which he put in our mouths, he very much mistakes the blood which runs in our veins.  Sooner let us fall by the hand of the midnight assassin, than have our names loaded with infamy, and handed down to posterity as traitors, who had saved their country from total destruction, by making the best treaty ever made for any Indians! – The historian will do justice to the memories of the fallen.  We will never cause their blood to ride in judgment against us, by casting obloquy on their characters.  Eight of our friends have abandoned us.   Be the matter with them and their God.  We are conscious that we have gained many where we have lost one.  The threatened denunciation still hangs over us.  Well, if the impending vengeance must fall, let it come upon us with clear consciences."
