Amnesty Is Republican Party Suicide
Creators Syndicate ^ | October 29, 2013 | Phyllis Schlafly

Posted on 10/29/2013 10:02:34 AM PDT by jazusamo

Most Americans believe that the United States of America is an exceptional country. The "borders test" proves that people are coming to America, not fleeing from America to exit to other countries.

Republicans and conservatives recognize that the principal reason for our unique abundance is our constitutional restraints on the power of government, separation of powers, balanced budgets, and a minimum of government supervision and interference in our daily lives. America offers a remarkable opportunity for foreigners; no matter what socioeconomic rank they were assigned in their native country.

Most of the millions of immigrants we have welcomed came from countries where the only government they knew was one that made all decisions about economic and social policy. The current level of legal immigration to America adds thousands of people every day whose views and experience are contrary to the conservative value of limited government.

The influx of these new voters will reduce or eliminate Republicans' ability to offer an alternative to big government, increased government spending, and favorite liberal policies such as Obamacare and gun control. New voters will lean on our hard-pressed health care system and overcrowded public schools to demand more government services.

Amnesty advocates point to the assimilation of large numbers of immigrants in the early years of the 20th century. But that was followed by a national pause and slowdown of immigration from the 1920s to the 1960s, which allowed newcomers to assimilate, learn our language, and adapt to our system of government.

Under current law, 1.1 million new legal immigrants come in every year. The Congressional Budget Office projections indicate that amnesty, plus its scheduled increases in legal immigration, will add an additional 4.6 million new voters by 2014.

LOL!

It's not suicide. Its premeditated murder of American civilization.

Except for a handful of patriots, all the DC slithering Elitists are ego maniacs whose quest for power and personal wealth is their God. The same goes for politicians at every level of government in every state. We The People and our country are not relevant to these examples of human waste.

“Amnesty Is Republican Party Suicide”

Raising the hypothetical question, how does a dead person or party commit suicide?
The Republican party has been dead for damn near a generation. It is just stumbling around like a zombie looking for a place to be buried.

How many times can a party commit suicide? It is the thing that wouldn’t die. It is the zombie GOP, AKA the whig party.

I wish FedGov™ treated our border security with the same verve as closing off Federal monuments to the public during a FedGov™ shutdown.

Though labor union bosses have signed on to amnesty the prospect of 10 to 20 million new “citizens” should scare the hell out of rank-and-file dues payers. Big business isn't pushing “immigration reform” simply to gain new consumers. Corporations are looking at a whole new class of workers willing to work for lower wages and benefits, displacing union workers. Non-union American workers will be even more vulnerable.

This key truth should be communicated by the GOP through advertising and congressional speeches over and over.

Don’t forget, Darrel Issa is introducing a bill very soon that is designed to bring the illegals out of the shadows, so he says...

I hope a wash of people in his district tell him that may be a very bad idea...

I have learned that even if your intentions are good, if you call a congress critter and do not live in their district, you get immediately shuffled, with no fanfare to their comment voicemail service...

They obviously do not give two sh!ts about anyones opinion outside their district...Maybe thats fair...But I think it is rude...So if thats the case, I’d lie and tell them, “yeah, I’m from his district and I’m madder than hell at him!!!”

But hey, again, what do I know...hehehe
