Immigration one of the few sticking points in GOP platform

“Calling somebody a flaming idiot would be a personal attack.”

I agree. You may want to review your first post. I do not plan to put up with this crap. There are rules on this site. Please review your first post to me and explain how calling me STUPID was not a personal attack.

Illegal immigrants thrive in the country for three reasons.

No administration and no congress has ever taken serious steps to close the borders.

ILLEGAL EMPLOYERS fund illegal immigrants because cheap undocumented workers is profitable.

The Gubmint otherwise known as the social welfare state hands out underserved benefits and entitlements.

When is the last time you heard a politician talk about enforcing the laws against illegal employers?

Mittens got a war chest of billion dollars and lot of that money came from members of the Chamber of Commerce who do NOT want to see illegal employers held to account.

The Democrat Party elite quite wisely sees every illegal immigrant as a future Democrat voter dedicated to the enlargement of the social welfare state.

The elites of each party have political interests which do not allow them to tackle this problem.

All rightful middle class citizens and taxpayers who would like to see this illegal immigration dealt with have NO representation and NO voice on this issue because each party elite is OWNED either by the illegal employers or the illegal immigrants.

Obama has done Our Republic great harm but that is not to say that if McCain was elected that he would not have done harm as well. I believe if McCain had been elected he would have tried again to pass a veiled form of blanket amnesty and with the Democrat majorities that were in place until 2010, blanket amnesty would have passed.

Another stupid comment

Bob, as you can plainly see a specified your comment as the object of stupidity and not you personally. This shouldn't be THAT difficult to understand.

Perhaps a quick review of Strunk and White's Elements of Style might be helpful.

The rest of the world doesn’t seem to have any trouble with immigration policy - let in any investors and advanced degree graduates who want to come and deny entry to manual laborers and welfare seekers. Why is this simple concept so hard for the GOP to advocate, instead of mindless “close the damn borders!” rhetoric?

“Bob, as you can plainly see a specified your comment as the object of stupidity and not you personally. This shouldn’t be THAT difficult to understand.”

I value my FReeper account, I trust you do also. Please stay clear of personal attacks, as I won’t tolerate it.

Thanks for the info. Though I’m disappointed that even Freedomworks doesn’t have a plank for term limits.

The Chamber of Commerce wants more illigal aliens. Bottom line....they sold America out, and are now our enemy.

[bcsco]

Our local chamber exec officer is speaking at my Kiwanis club breakfast next week. I think I’ll ask her about that on the side.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I would. C of C chapters all over the country are for amnesty, and freedom to hire illegals.

Especially here in farm country...

“You know America is in trouble when freeloading foreign invaders are a “sticking point” in OUR politics.”

Yep.
