Gang of Eight Betrays Americans (Commentary)
Creators Syndicate ^ | May 21, 2013 | Phyllis Schlafly

Posted on 05/20/2013 4:07:08 PM PDT by jazusamo

The Gang of Eight immigration bill can be summed up as amnesty now, border closing never. The Department of Homeland Security is not required to build a fence (which was ordered by the Secure Fence Act signed by President George W. Bush). DHS is required only to submit a plan.

If the DHS Secretary decides she has not reached 90 percent of border security, a "trigger" kicks in: the creation of a Southern Border Security Commission empowered (horrors!) to make recommendations. After six months of pondering its mission, the Commission automatically self-liquidates, so there will never be border security.

The Gang of Eight bill will give legal residence to 11 million illegal aliens, which is the actual goal for which they undertook their journey and broke U.S. law. Their new U.S. legality will be concealed under the pompous bureaucratic title, Registered Provisional Immigrant (RPI) status.

This amnesty will cost the U.S. taxpayers $6.3 trillion over the lifetimes of the amnestied persons, mostly outside the 10-year window used for CBO calculations. This horrendous sum, which includes all forms of public benefits less the taxes they pay, was copiously documented by the Heritage Foundation.

The Gang of Eight authorizes the issuance of 33 million lifetime work permits (for 11 million amnesties plus accelerated chain migration) over the next 10 years. This enormous influx of job seekers will flood our labor markets and communities, thus continuing the high unemployment of Americans, driving down the wages of those who do have jobs and eliminating their hope of ever rising to the middle class and achieving the American dream.

Every amnestied person will become eligible for Obamacare upon receiving a green card, and within five years will be able to cash in on our 79 means-tested welfare benefits...

Phyllis Schlafly says it well. It's been said by many but it can't be said enough.

Leave it to Congress to delegate its responsibilities to “gangs”.

“mccain, rubio and grahm are no less dangerous than reid, pelosi and schumer.”

Well, pretty close, anyway.

I want to barf everytime I hear the back-stabbing Rubio and the disappointing Paul Ryan do their hyperactive, rapid speak BS commercials on Rush Limbaugh’s show promoting the Gang of Eight’s amnesty. They are perfectly transparent with their lies being self-evident.

As far as I’m concerned, NEITHER of those 21st century Bobbsey Twins has a future in higher Republican politics if I (and the certain millions who believe as I do) can influence that future.

All Eight should be sent to the toughest of the Russian Prisons and never paroled.

I heard Rubio’s ad running on Rush today on the radio. I thought I would throw up.

Here’s the 40,000 foot view.

President zer0bama gets a 10pm phone call from hilary clinton, they discuss what to do. The CIA guys on the ground in Benghazi have been engaged in buying back MANPADS. There are 4 americans under attack. One is the outwardly homosexual ambassador.

Zer0bama decides the gay guy and 3 others are expendable, orders a stand-down, because he’s afraid those MANPADS will be used against american aircraft and there’s a Mogadishu incident all over again, so that’s the end of that — only 4 american bodies rather than 34.

Hilary Clintoon disagrees. She does not go along with the plan, nor the coverup. She refuses to go on the Sunday morning TV talkshow roundup, sends Susan Rice instead. A few months later, Hilary Clintoon is ejected from the administration.

Now we see Clintoon’s retribution. It’s not enough to bring down the zer0bama presidency.

Or, actually, unlimited amnesty for foreigners who get across the border. Surely the progress of this bill is being carefully noted by folks way down south and more and more are packing their bags and calling coyotes.
