This picture of Renee Ellmers and Kevin McCarthy is from a January VDARE.com post. The race among Republicans for Speaker of the House is important because the only thing keeping Chuck Schumers amnesty from Congress sending an amnesty bill to Obamas desk was John Boehners implementation of the Hastert Rule that he wouldnt call an amnesty bill for a vote since a majority of Republicans were against it.
The frontrunner to succeed Boehner, Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, CA, represents the crops-rotting-in-the-fields donor class of Central Valley landowners who like a constant flow of fresh stoop laborers from south of the border so they can privatize profits and socialize costs (emergency room care, public schools, prisons, etc.). McCarthy has a terrible record on immigration.
But now McCarthy has suddenly dropped out of the race. The New York Times doesnt offer much of a plausible explanation for why this just happened. But Charles C. Johnsons Got News has a detailed theory. I certainly dont know if its true, but it makes more prima facie sense than the NYTs story.

She's the one who got elected in the Tea Party waved, and once in office did a Marco Rubio on amnesty for illegal aliens.
