Correction, 12:26 p.m. ET: An original version of this story said that Reince Priebus referred to Mitt Romney’s comments as “racist.” He said it “hurts us.” Business Insider regrets the error.

” What I have heard is illegal immigration is running at net zero.”

LMAO!

Here in AZ, truckloads of illegals are dumped at the border 24/7.

Your humorous comment has a core of truth. The Republican party clearly has been infiltrated. The progressives are skilled at this tactic. I think they learned from the Bolsheviks.

America was lost the moment the Republicans ran up the white flag and re-elected this ash hole Reese’s Pieces to run the RNC. He makes you nostalgic for that moron Steele. UGH!

Actually, the tactic of placing large numbers of incongruous settlers in established communities was a Stalinist tactic, employed after World War II, in the States where there had been continued resistance to Communism, such as the Ukraine & Baltic States, where he moved in large numbers of ethnic Russians. This makes it more difficult for the natives to organize any form of resistance to the intended tyranny. (No one is sure whom they can work with, for one obvious result.)

The infiltration tactic is due to the Frankfurt School and its disciples. Modern political correctness (cultural Marxism) is their brainchild. They hijacked the Democratic party in the 1960's, so that the Democratic leadership sounded less like Harry Truman and more like Abbie Hoffman with each year.

However, they have also made inroads with the Republican party. I've noticed a troubling tendency among the GOP leadership in recent years to cry "racism" as loudly as any liberal, and to embrace their own form of multiculturalism (i.e. open borders, amnesty) and affirmative action.

Here we have more revelations about the NSA spying, Egypt is burning in flames, and the Economy is still in the toilet. Yet, Prius wants to talk about who should moderate the debates and Romney's comments from 2012.

The GOP is a sick, pathetic joke.

I didn’t know that “invading barbarian” was a race.

Different aims, different techniques. The flooding of the country with illegals is an example of the Stalinist technique you cite. Subverting an organization is a bit different in my view. Let’s just say they’re both Soviet techniques.

Your distinction is correct. I wanted to inject the deliberate corruption that results from the refusal to defend our borders, with which much of our Republican "leadership" is as guilty as the Clinton & Obama types.

We need to focus on the destructive effect of refusal to defend essential values, whether the result of ideological fanaticism, or a gutless form of pseudo-pragmatism, that leaves us impotent in the face of disaster.

The RNC represent a combination of the corrupt, with unstated real agenda, and pseudo-pragmatists (idiots or dysrons) who think they are clever, but are anything but.

Exactly. WTF kind of name is Reince Priebus? And on top of that he looks and sounds like a dork. He has loser written all over him.

Doesn’t really matter. The “infiltration” of the Republican party happened many decades ago. The Reagan era was largely an aberration and was mostly undone by Bush the Senior (one of the long ago infiltrators, rhymes with traitor).

Most Dreamers are below average students. Once they become legal they get into the Ivy League at 10 times the rate of a white with the same scores.

Hispanic and black caribbean students are below average.

Steve King has spoken about the drug mules and the RINOs talk about the valedictorians.

Yes but with the left and the neo-left the exception makes the rule.

The genie is out of the bottle. The GOP should own the phrase. Between now and 2016, I hope Steve King says it 1,000 times to the national press. If hispanic individuals are offended by the quote they are not individuals that the GOP should be chasing anyway.

It is pretty simple. They either favor the American worker or the illegal.

A million Mexicans have left.

Imagine if the 2006 amnesty had passed. Less would have self deported and the situation would be even worse.

With Priebus, WI Democrats are bound to resurge in a big way; maybe they can take Ryan with them.

Have you notice that nearly all GOP “empty suits” also have “white guilt” complex.
