First Lady of the Conservative Movement Phyllis Schlafly has an incisive article on Townhall explaining why conservatives – and establishment Republicans – should oppose President Obama’s push for amnesty for illegal aliens.
As Mrs. Schlafly points out, “The current level of legal immigration to America adds thousands of people every day whose views and experience are contrary to the conservative value of limited government… Under current law, 1.1 million new legal immigrants come in every year. The Congressional Budget Office projections indicate that amnesty, plus its scheduled increases in legal immigration, will add an additional 4.6 million new voters by 2014.”
More to the point, Phyllis Schlafly documents that “An enormous body of survey research shows that large majorities of recent immigrants, who are mostly Hispanic and Asian, hold liberal views on most policy issues and therefore vote Democratic two-to-one. Their motivation is not our immigration policy; it is economic issues.
“The 2008 National Annenberg Election Survey found that 62 percent of immigrants prefer a single government-run health care system. The 2010 Cooperative Congressional Election Study found that 69 percent of immigrants support Obamacare, and the Pew Research Center found that 75 percent of Hispanic and 55 percent of Asian immigrants support bigger government.”

RINO’s are too busy snorting coke with Bill Clinton to read such things.
GOP-E obviously intends to abandon The Constitution and follow along behind the mob.
Given the recent GOP stupidity on the Iran nuke treaty deal, I’m thinking Mrs. Schlafly is calling her shot with this article being more along the lines of a prediction.
I’ve said this elsewhere, but for a while the immigration issue (along with the GOPe’s other antics) reminds me of the movie “Witness”. Particularly the scene when the John Book (Harrison Ford) character figures out the connection between the crooked cop (Danny Glover), whom the Amish boy pointed out as the murderer, and the amphetamine trafficking in Philadelphia.
Many in the United States consider working somewhere even like a dairy farm in upstate New York either beneath them and/or that they are content instead to watch television and collect welfare benefits. The cheap migrant labour is needed there and elsewhere and the Chamber of Commerce, as we here know, give generously to the GOPe in order to permit the migrant labourers from Mexico and elsewhere like that. As a result, the corruption and cohesion involved in these interests becomes so obvious.
That was a great movie, and I like your comparison. I remember that scene.
I’ve got news for the illustrious Phyllis Shlafly, the republican party is over because of amnesty. It has gone way too far already, both amnesty AND the republican party’s adoration of IT.
None of their choices for nominees are going to be accepted. Not in any way. This is not 1988, and it is not 2012, nor any year in between.
Not enough republican voters are going to tolerate anything resembling, “I was for amnesty until I was against it., “, and certainly not, “Hillary is a nice person, just misguided” NOR, “fill in the blank- Bush”.
America is over. I don’t know what we will have in the future, but it is gone.
The problem is not only the uncontrolled influx. Even if it were stopped tomorrow it is too late.
I work in hospitals in southwest Florida. There is a constant stream of Mayans in and out. A Dad with a half dozen kids, less than a year apart, in tow, going to see the new addition. They breed like rabbits.
I follow converted school buses of Mayans on the way to and fro from tomatoe fields, strawberry fields, bean fields, orange groves, blueberry fields. They do backbreaking work in the hot, humid sun all day. I can hardly stand to walk from house to car. I don’t know how they do it.
Those baby “rabbits” go to school. I do think they will learn “cursive”.
The American Black “give me” population is going to have a rude awakening when the new Americans decide they are not picking strawberries to support a lazy, stupid class of sloths.
Good article, but Labrador and his colleagues’ immigration policies would destroy the Republican Party and America just as much as Obama’s would—even if that’s not what they “intend” to do.
Hey Canuk many is not all. Butt out.
Let’s be specific- Amnesty of spanish-speaking peoples from Central America is suicide. If we were to allow amnesty to Christians fleeing Muslim terror or European humanism would be more than welcome.
Don't be fooled Americans will do those jobs again when there is no other choice.
I have appreciated Phyllis wisdom and her fearless entreaties to our nation to wake up.....
she has been consistent and faithful.....God bless her.
But like James Dobson, and a handful of others .....their voices are falling on deaf ears, it would seem.
Our country has been warned repeatedly by these good folks....
They were like voices crying out in the wilderness.....
I still had hope for my particular county Republicans until I attended a meeting this week.......a gearing up for the next election type event.
I was so disappointed, disillusioned by what I heard, by their watered down lack of conviction political brochures, ...by the speaker they chose.....A friend and I walked out.
This isn’t the Republican Party I signed on with as soon as I could vote....many years ago......This isn’t even the Republican Party of only a few years ago......the one I volunteered and worked with and had hope for.
It is obvious they are listening to the wrong people.
Phyllis voice is not reaching the majority of them, I fear.
