Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says the “Gang of Eight” immigration reform bill will, if passed, threaten national security and destroy the Republican Party’s ability to compete on a national level.
Buchanan, author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” told radio host Laura Ingraham on Monday that passing a “blanket pardon” of illegal immigrants would be “an act of madness,” particularly in the wake of last week’s terrorist attacks in Boston.
“It’s been one week since something like 178 to 180 Americans — three of them murdered — but 178 injured, maimed and wounded by two individuals who were immigrants to this country who were asylum seekers and granted asylum and given benefits,” Buchanan said. “They were newcomers to America, and the idea that we would be considering amnesty — a blanket pardon for all 11 or 12 or 20 million, or however many millions of illegal immigrants are in the country — [that] we would be considering a blanket pardon is an act of madness.”

Patrick J nails it on the amnesty part. If it happens, so long national GOP.
Gang of 8242? Where did they get that many?
We are suffering from the elites running the parties and the country.
The Gang of Ocho.
What should be done on the subject? I would like to see something that will be fine for Conservatives, but I don’t know what it could be.
It is National suicide. GOP be damned.
How about doing what the rest of the world does regarding allowing immigrants into our country.
I'd settle for enforcing current law.
If they're not enforcing current law (except for the parts that give them more Democrat voters) they won't enforce the new law (except for the parts that give them more Democrat voters).
You don't have to deport a single illegal. Simply stop giving them free stuff, and they will go home of their own accord.
Enforce the law.
Enforce the law.
Sheriff Joe as the Attourney General would be a GREAT FIRST STEP!!!
“Kid Marco” is being played like a violin by Schmuckie.
Advocate a pro-immigrant policy of low immigration. Conservatives need to provide the American people with their own comprehensive immigration reform plan, i.e., give people a reason to vote FOR something rather than just attack the other side’s proposals. Such a plan should contain the following elements:
Formulate a merit based immigration system that brings in the skills and talents to keep us competitive in the global economy;
Reduce immigration levels based on need more closely approximating 300,000 a year;
Eliminate extended chain migration, i.e., family reunification, limiting it to the nuclear family,
Secure the border;
Enforce existing immigration laws to reduce the current illegal alien population and limit future illegal immigration, i.e., attrition thru enforcement. Enforcement would include: (1) ending the job magnet; (2) increasing coordination at the federal level by eliminating barriers to information sharing among agencies; (3) leveraging state and local enforcement resources; (4) fully implementing the US-VISIT Program to track and deport visa overstays; and (5) make mandatory and improve such programs as E-Verify and 287 [g] authority to assist employers and law enforcement in identifying illegal aliens;
Eliminate birthright citizenship and the visa lottery program;
Ensure that anyone who enters this nation illegally is not rewarded by being permitted to stay and work here; i.e., no amnesty;
Streamline the processing and adjudication of immigration cases;
Promote pro-immigrant measures that help newcomers assimilate and embrace the values and principles of our Founders and the Constitution.
Rubio knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s hired the biggest amnesty hacks to get him there.
