A party that addressed the circumstances that make immigration (legal or not) a “problem” would not have to address the “problem” of immigration. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, government education system (primary through postgraduate), welfare support, the minimum wage, mandated employee benefits, unionism, and restrictive environmental regulation.
Above all, a genuinely free market for labor would make the employment of illegal aliens pointless, because there would be no cost advantage over employing a citizen.
I am in no mood to put up with your garbage buzz off
Pish-tosh. Nobody has a proposal for a "workable reform of health care," because, just as with education, the only workable system in the long term is pay your own way, private-pay-or-private-charity. Rep. Ryan's concepts for addressing the issues of Social Security and Medicare would never have made it past the entrenched interests.
The bureaucratic welfare state cannot be reformed. It has to crash. It's an experiment that has failed, but nobody in the system can accept the obvious conclusion.
My “garbage” is not mine, it’s yours and all of ours and now it’s for 4 more years of garbage for you to buzz about.
Perhaps the next 4 years of Obama garbage will motivate you to offer adult conversation and informed opinion instead of insults.
If your read what I said, I voted... Sorry my friend, I’ve had it with the R Party. You and I are likely still on the same side, I’m just going to be taking a different tack. The GOP keeps trying to convince us of what we do not want or believe... done with ‘em... but I’ll be standing with you on the conservative side of the line, you can count on that...
Oh please. Hispanics already HAVE a rich “role model”: Carlos Slim Helu (Mexican) is the world’s #1 Richest Man.
So don’t give me this ‘Hispanics can’t relate to wealth creation or the work ethic (Republican) message.’
That is complete nonsense, collectivist sociology speak, BS, and defeatist nonsense.
"Addressing" the immigration issue means softening the rules, lets be honest. But in order to cash in on that move republicans will have to compromise any principle involving the size of government, too, or risk losing all of these new voters to the democrats.
If Mona thinks that by such a softening will cause any significant portion of the potential hispanic voting block to suddenly be receptive to arguments for smaller, less intrusive government then I want some of whats in her hooka.
