Former Sen. Jim DeMint (R – S.C.) is standing by the controversial Heritage Foundation study that put a $6.3 trillion price tag on the Senate immigration bill, saying: “There’s no doubt that these numbers are real.”

He also says he has no regrets about leaving the Senate to become president of the Heritage Foundation, recalling his recent years in the Senate as similar to “being on a treadmill going nowhere.”

“I’m at a place now at Heritage where I can have more impact on public policy than I could as a United States senator,” says DeMint.

They shouldn’t have forced out that young man who did the report that mentioned the low IQs of the invaders.

And, with all due respect, you should have had more of a positive impact on the career of Jason Redwine and stood behind him!

Meanwhile, if the LGBT amendments are added to the bill, Graham said he’ll pull his support from it (there is an election next year, dontcha know!).

Before long, the democrats will probably try to kill the bill themselves. They’ll still have the issue and the people on all their programs and we all know they’re already voting (and NYC wants to make it official) so they won’t mind too much if there never is any “comprehensive immigration reform”.
