The Madison Avenue welfare plantation for illegals...

Robert Rector's first comprehensive analysis of the 2006 Senate Immigration Bill received national acclaim and was introduced by Senator Jeff Sessions at a national press conference. Rector showed how that bill would allow 100 million new immigrants over the next twenty years (a third of our current population) and result in economic and social devastation to American culture. Now, he's released another study (also widely cited) showing that the proposed amnesty could cost $16 billion a year in federal benefits for illegals who are here, plus another $30 billion a year for the foreseeable future if they bring their aging parents in, as they would be allowed to do. Edwin Feulner, President of Heritage, recently said he's never seen such a gap between what the majority of people want and what the elites and many politicians are trying to force upon them.
B’but isn’t one a racist who wants the borders controlled?

Bush’s “legacy”.
“B’but isn’t one a racist who wants the borders controlled?”
Proud to be declared one!!!!!!

I think $16B per year is way low. I thank the Grow-at-any-Cost Republicans for this as much as anyone. The Motor-Voter Act didn’t help either.
I forgot who, but someone once said that there isn’t a bucket of warm spits worth of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. There is zero differences in the life styles of the elite, here or worldwide. They all want the easy life. People don’t get to be elite with out figuring almost all the time about how to accumulate benefits and push away costs on to others. Working class pays and elites benefit. The elite benefit immediately, and tell the working class that someday, way way off in the future, they will too. This is just like priest class that lives fat off the givings of the dirty, exhausted peasants, yet tells them that after they are dead, the peasants will go somewhere nice. This is called by political scientists, “suckerism”.
That is the truth and the whole truth! :)
Does that apply to Cardinal Mahony of L.A. who encourages his people to assist and support the illegal invasion?
My wife is from the Philippines. The first thing that the other Filipinos she knows who get citizenship do, is immediately file the paperwork to bring their parents over. Once here the parents get FREE medical care; and once they become citizens they get FREE MONEY called Social Security.
I am resisting the idea that my mother in law, who owns several properties and her own house free and clear with no mortgage in the Philippines, should come over here.
MANY of the Filipinos' parents are in similar situations, own their own houses in the Philippines, but you can't compete with FREE MONEY .
One of my favorite quotes. It was from John Nance Garner who served as VP under FDR. The unexpurgated and true quote is: “The Vice Presidency isn’t worth a bucket of warm piss.”
I think most tend to forget Social Security isn’t just a pension plan. It includes DISABILITY - an occupational hazard for illegal workers. It also includes SURVIVOR BENEFITS - which means that if the illegal dies, his minor dependents will get a nice check until the last one reaches age 18. Feel better now?
In ABSTRACT terms, this is the conspiratorial view of what’s going on vis-à-vis the INVASION of the illegals here:
The current alien invasion from the south serves BOTH the elites who run Mexico – and many of the OTHER states of Central and South America — and the political ruling class who increasingly run the United States:
· It takes pressure off the 60 or so families who control approximately 80% of the wealth in Mexico. Without the northern “safety valve” (the United States) for their poor, those poor MIGHT be inclined to do what America’s early colonists found it necessary to do: Revolt! Parenthetically, that would be MY suggestion for them: Instead of fleeing here – and converting “here” to a larger, more poverty infested version of “there,” they ought to stay there and make “there” into their version of “here,” whatever that would be. Revolutions ARE messy and there are no guarantees that they will produce the desired result. But – according to one T. Jefferson – they are often necessary. Never forget that THIS country was born in revolution!
· For the NAFTA/CAFTA coveting US national ruling class – especially those who, in varying degrees, quest after some sort of One-World utopia run by guess who? – it provides yet another level of insecurity and tension among the indigenous populace which can be used to justify new and more draconian limits to freedom here. Instead of securing the borders, allow millions of illegals to come in and when the natives become alarmed, require a national ID card. “Your papers, please!” will soon become a phrase familiar to all. It’s Mr. Franklin’s trade of freedom for (false) security. It’s also the time-tested Hegelian Dialectic the One-Worlders have successfully worked like a rented mule.
While they occasionally squabble among themselves, the elites of history have ALL had one thing in common: They will do ANYTHING to remain in charge. And throughout that history, except for the 230 year-old experiment in freedom called “America,” most of the men who have walked the earth have lived as slaves to these elites whether they call themselves kings, emperors, potentates, sultans, czars – or presidents.
Get ready, folks. Unless some SERIOUS changes are made and the handful of Americans who CARE about liberty get involved, that history will almost certainly repeat here.
Now for the SPECIFICS of the matter:
My take on Bush’s role in all of this is:
1. His long and apparently positive experience with the large hispanic population in Texas is largely responsible for his inaction on this alien invasion. And why wouldn’t HIS experience with them be positive as he traveled in the highest, best-educated circles among them, not the Hispanic gangbangers and pine-straw spreaders...
2. His brother Jeb is married to a native of Mexico and his nieces and nephews are mixed blood. And before you scream “ethnocentric bigot” at me, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. But that fact — and the first item — DOES predispose him to a warm and fuzzy feeling for folks from south of the Rio Grande.
And if — in some strange and metastasizing American desire for a new royal family dynasty — Jeb should win the White House, I’d bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W’s behavior look like a warm-up exercise.
Any vestige of white European culture will be a distant memory.
I think you’re right and, as a resident of the Sunshine State, I’d say you’re ABSOLUTELY right about Jeb. I think at this point most Americans - left or right - are nauseated with these hereditary monarchies. We’re Bush- and Clinton- fatigued to death.
Not only that, the old, disabled and sick don’t have to be citizens to get SS. They can get SSI even if they never paid in a cent. And Medicaid. In california recently there was a study and about half the medicaid payments went to illegal aliens, mostly anchor baby delivery
The Madison Avenue welfare plantation for illegals...
“Carrying signs saying “Amnesty Now!” and “Love Thy Neighbor, Don’t Deport Him,” about 15,000 people danced to Mexican ranchera music, chanted “Si, se puede!” or “It can be done!” and passed large American flags over the crowd.
Many were angry about a White House plan that would grant illegal immigrants work visas but require them to return home to apply for U.S. residency and pay a $10,000 fine.
“Charging that much, Bush is going to be even more expensive than the coyotes,” said protester Armando Garcia, 50”
These people are the MOST ungrateful immigrants in the history of this country. Go back to Mexico, criminal.
No, they are an invasion...
Push them out, at the point of a bayonet if necessary.
