Capitol Hill insiders widely consider President Obama's rumored plan to unilaterally extend amnesty to as many as five million of illegal aliens to be political suicide, essentially ceding control of the Senate in a single act. But a key question has been whether elite Republicans are willing to deploy the issue in weaponized form.
A statement from Brad Dayspring, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, suggests the answer is yes.
“Executive amnesty would not only subvert the law, but depress wages, and hurt the poorest Americans most of all – including legal immigrants looking to rise into the middle class. Workers are hurting,” Dayspring said.
Bits of the statement appeared in a spate of stories about the GOP's recently increased willingness to seize on immigration in close Senate races, the chief example being New Hampshire candidate and former Sen. Scott Brown.
But the full ideological import of Dayspring's words seem to have passed by largely unnoticed.
The remarks are notable because while the law-and-order side of border security has always been a staple GOP talking point, the economic impact of increased immigration on wages is a secondary and disputed aspect.

Massive boycotts to ensue on any businesses who hire them?.
Thank heavens for small miracles.
I consider this RINO taqqiyah until they actually do something about it. The only ray of sunshine I can find is that they are feeling enough pressure that they feel the need to mouth the words.
If you don’t bring the issue up in the congressional or presidential campaign it doesn’t matter how many laws have been broken or how bad the negative impact.
That was proven during the last presidential election when Obama’s poor record, lying, and unconstitutional acts were hardly mentioned.
So when is obama, along with his dem and RINO bootlicking lackeys, going to make la raza an official part of the federal government? Or, when does mexico get its senators and congessman installed in DC? Seeing as how a third of mexico’s population (the worst and most lawless third BTW) are currently squatting here in the US, and sucking up government welfare like a sponge, we might as well just absorb their entire country.
Of course with a socialist-oligarchy like mexico, obama and the dems would love nothing more to assimilate the mexican rule of law, and destroy ours in the process.
I hope they mean it.
that piece of chit BO thinks he can get away with anything now
and seeing that so far he has I guess I can’t blame him
This must be stopped
NRSC needs to learn to play by DNC rules and release THIS statement:
“It is RACIST to impose SLAVE WAGES on LEGAL Immigrants and minorities, by flooding the labor market with ILLEGAL Immigrants.”
“Comprehensive Reform”
“Executive Amnesty”
The only difference is who’s name is on the paper.
we can’t identify which aliens are legal and illegal. We can’t even identify which are aliens and which are not.
Assimilation has been under assault for decades in this country. That’s one of the reasons we have such huge cultural problems, we aren’t really a country anymore, but a series of intertwined warring cultures that increasingly care less and less about the whole to which they do not conform.
This sustained demographic cultural diversification(AKA multiculturalism) alone will inevitably tear this country apart by way of cultural balkinization leading to evermore reduced capacity to function as a whole.
The Condition of this country will grow worse as we are more focused on each-other than the world around us.
