No, America Does Not Have “De Facto Amnesty”

The most bizarre argument that advocates of amnesty are making is that we have “de facto amnesty” now. The argument goes that since we have de facto amnesty now, we should just have the real thing and get it over with.

Marco Rubio and Rand Paul have gone around repeating it.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) responded Thursday to critics on the right who say the immigration reform he supports will be catastrophic to the Republican Party and, more importantly, the country.

“I’ve got a news flash for those who want to call people names on amnesty: What we have now is de facto amnesty,” he said during an appearance on Fox News.

Sen. Paul’s comments were prompted by Fox anchor Bill Hemmer saying said that the Republican senator’s immigration speech on Tuesday has made him a “ripe target” for conservative critics, including Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

A lack of proper enforcement is not de facto amnesty. Amnesty is legalization. What Rubio and Rand Paul call de facto amnesty is the difference between not arresting a drug dealer and legalizing heroin.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What we have is a criminal federal government that refuses to enforce federal immigration law and attacks states that attempt to do so.

NWO wants importation of hispanics from Central/South America to the US.

NWO finance centers: Wall Street, London, Paris, Frankfurt, etc., ...

Sorry guys, until NWO is shut down, US politicians will dance to their tune.

NWO money and influence makes politicians. If they don’t play for them well, NWO makes a new replacement.

From the article: “Paul, Rubio, and other Republican supporters of immigration reform offer a future, where the Republican Party can remain relevant and innovative.”

I note “where the Republican Party can remain relevant and innovative.”, but I don’t find anything here about “where the United States of America can remain relevant, and innovative”.

The law doesn’t mind sending German Home Schoolers back to Germany.

That’s only one vote, Hispanics are thousands.

There will be an new immigration bill....and it will include amnesty. There are none ‘stopping’ it....those who oppose are simply giving lip service.

Who is going to fight this? I don't see a person willing to stop it, it's just about “political advantage” each politician is bartering for.

Nice of Rand to show his true colors before the election.

DeFacto amnesty. The republican version of “What Difference Does it Make?”

[PieterCasparzen]

Ephesians 6

“10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”

I don’t care what they call it, it is MESSED UP!

From NumbersUSA.com

Dear friends of sensible immigration policies,

It’s official, the Gang of 8 has introduced S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, the largest amnesty and immigration increase bill this nation has ever seen. You can be among the first to let your Senators know there is widespread opposition to amnesty and massive increases in foreign workers by calling the Capitol Hill switchboard at 888-978-3094 today.

While the bill is half as long as promised, it’s at least twice as bad as expected.

Subcommandante Marco Rubio and rAmnesty Paul are allowed to lie by the leftist media. When they run for president, they will find out what Juan McCain did: the media will no longer be your friends and Latinos will vote for welfare.
