Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) knows as well as everyone that the Republican's
Southern strategy dooms the party to irrelevance. The minorities will soon outnumber the majority. But Bachmann is a practitioner of
strategery and she and the other members of Team Crazy will not stand idly by while justice, tolerance and irrelevance threatens their party.
The Minnesota Republican appeared on Beck’s show on TheBlaze TV on Thursday with Reps. Steve King (R-Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) to talk about how Republicans “don’t even know” they’re in a fight over the bill yet.
“We’re losing badly. Why? Because members of Congress don’t even know this fight’s going on, so we need your viewers to melt the phone lines,” Bachmann said.

While I'm not sure that literally melting phone lines will help anyone, but she is fear-mongering to let her supporters know how serious a threat immigration reform is to Republicans.
Below the orange squiggle, watch the video of Bachmann explaining what it all means at World Nut Daily:
"We're going to have amnesty, perpetual amnesty for illegal immigration and the whole political situation will change. Why? This is Barack Obama's number one political agenda item because he knows we will never again have a Republican president ever if amnesty goes into effect."
The first step in her strategery is to make sure they can't become citizens:
Rep. Michele Bachmann has a plan to stop an amnesty bill from sneaking through the House of Representatives like a “Trojan horse.”
She and other conservative lawmakers are pressing fellow Republican and Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, to pledge to abide by the “Hastert rule.”
That is the understanding which requires a majority of fellow party members in the House of Representatives support legislation before it is allowed to make it to the floor.

I'm sure that once she's out of Congress, Gohmert and King will carry on her legacy and do everything they can to limit voting rights for brown-skinned people ... which is the only logical next step once all these scary brown-skinned people become citizens and get the right to vote.
