It looks like its over. We have a rogue government now, absolutely unconstrained by what the American people want with regard to these policies, because they know the corrupt MSM has their back.
The corporatists have decreed that there will be open borders.
The GOPe, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
This time though it will be the final defeat.
Bring back JOBS to America.
We are as a country doing every single thing wrong.
We are sending jobs to Asia, while we need more jobs at home.
We are importing illegals from down south, while we pay unemployment to Americans right here.
Stop it all.
Bring back American jobs now.
Don’t import more illegals. We are 17 trillion dollars in debt already, and that is rapidly increasing.
Americans need jobs.
Now.
RE: It looks like its over. We have a rogue government now,
Yep. YEsterday the California Supreme Court ruled that an illegal immigrant could practice law in the state.
Which means that eventually, he could become a Supreme Court justice.
Washington Mafia controls the country. Henchmen are McCain, Boehner, Cantor, Ryan...
If they push it through they will be remembered for those who destroyed America.
Pray hard. Greed. Blackmail. Miseducation. All reasons they are doing what they are doing.
RE: Bring back JOBS to America.
Gosh, you must be posting this same mantra in every immigration or economy thread in FR.
The problem, as many people have pointed out is this mantra is meaningless without you telling us HOW it can be done.
Repeating the mantra is as good as chanting HARE KRISHNA.
I just don’t understand why the big push for amnesty when actual citizens are having a hard time. If the people want it so bad please move into a neighborhood with them and live there for a few yrs.
Amnesty will guarantee more illegals to hot-foot it here.
It will guarantee a permanent Dem majority.
I’ve posted a perfectly good solution.
Import tariffs.
Universal import tariffs. On every good imported into America.
No exceptions. No difference between any imported goods. Food. Oil. Manufactured goods. If it is imported, pay a fee. The only discussion should be, how much?
Remember it is a fee on all imports, so that is a significant, and meaningful discussion.
Use the fee, to pay down that 17 trillion (and increasing) foreign debt.
Now.
Affirmative.
You don't have to be a lawyer to be a Supreme Court Justice. Just sayin'.
The Dems will push amnesty because they know it’s the perfect wedge issue that could stop the Republicans from benefitting from the Obamacare fiasco. Opposing illegal immigration is an issue which is supported by a clear majority of Americans. It is one of the few areas where conservatives and blue collar Democrats are in substantial agreement and an issue that can even pry black voters away from the Democrats. And it’s the one issue where the mainstream of the Republican party is at odds with the elitist leadership that supports amnesty either from a misguided notion that it will curry favour with Hispanic voters or that it will provide a continued source of cheap labour for corporate America.
If the GOP had unity on this issue the 2014 mid-term elections would make 2010 look like a good day for the Dems. Unfortunately, the amnesty issue will enflame the Republican civil war and may let the Dems snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The GOP-e does not care about America or about the Republican party - it cares only about pleasing their money masters.
“I just don’t understand why the big push for amnesty when actual citizens are having a hard time. If the people want it so bad please move into a neighborhood with them and live there for a few yrs.”
Amnesty has nothing to do with the “hard time” citizens are experiencing. The fact is that without mass immigration (legal or otherwise), whole areas would be depopulated and whole school districts would close. The government bureaucracy (in particular, the teachers’ unions) would never allow that to happen. The immigrants aren’t here as workers; they are here as consumers (not just of goods, but of gubmint services). Without them, the poverty and education industries collapse.
“The corporatists have decreed that there will be open borders.”
Not just corporatists, but the “government industry” as well (teachers, social workers, law enforcement, etc.). Too many people get government paychecks administering to these illegals.
I might be able to see that if I believed the corporatists were so short sighted, but they must realize that making these folks legal means the democrats will up wages more every year to “make things more fair”. There has to be something more .... doesn’t there?
I’m missing a driver for this and can’t figure out what it is. It isn’t degrees - those are going unemployed or utilized by multinationals overseas, it isn’t manual labor with minimum wage and unemployment rates at current levels, so what?
Those who want to pay less then minimum wage already do, so they don’t care if the employees are illegal. They’re already breaking the law.
So who really gains other than the democrats from a vote standpoint? If the illegals from all countries flow in where is the added cash flow coming from and going to? They aren’t bringing it with them. So is it really just the chamber and corporatists?
That’s a solid thought - but what does the chamber of commerce have to do with those areas of bureaucracy?
