A GOP Immigration Plan to Satisfy No One

Any bill that does not accomplish these five things is unacceptable. It is de facto amnesty.

Any bill that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here--the object of their crime--is amnesty. A path to citizenship is just the cherry on top.

We also need to drastically reduce legal immigration. We don't need 1.2 million legal immigrants a year, most of whom are poor and uneducated.

[SeminoleCounty]

All Real Conservatives, and most common sense Americans...want the borders secured and all Illegal Aliens deported.

It’s just the bleeding heart liberals, the Open Borders - Free Trader One World Third Way Globalists, and the ethnic racist groups, that want Illegal Alien Amnesty.

All the money of the latter never overcomes the reality of the former

Taking Any Bets That Obama's Real Average Is Higher (than the 9.85 shown in the chart)?

I've seen estimates that put it above at almost 25%.

Also, this.

[DJ MacWoW]

There was an article last week that put it at 37.2%. I believe that.

I remember reading it; but I couldn't find the reference to link in my previous post.
In any case. the idea of expanding immigration is utterly idiotic.
I'm in agreement with Paine when he considers us to be already in the middle of an invasion; in fact, a governor with balls could force the issue nationally, as well as driving the fedgov into a checkmated position.

Well, when you consider the fact the GOPe is playing to lose, I’d say they learned their lessons perfectly well.

[DJ MacWoW]

Obama’s whole purpose is the destruction of America. He is a Predator President.

"Well, when you consider the fact the GOPe is playing to lose, I’d say they learned their lessons perfectly well."

Should be obvious by now that the RNC's "job" is to rake in donations while losing just enough elections to have zero accountability but winning just enough to prevent a legitimate opposition party from rising up.

[Cyber Liberty]

Sort of like Bill Bidwell and the AZ Cardinals, right?

Or maybe the Washington Generals?

[Cyber Liberty]

Except the Cards purport to be a real team, and foolish people in Phoenix expect them to try to win. Like GOPe.

About that hispanic vote....think of how much of it the ‘pubs could get if Cruz is the presidential nominee.

Probably no more than 6%.

The Democrats will kill any bill in the Senate that doesn't match their own.

No, the democrats will get it to conference and pass their own bill and it will return to the House where the Amnesty RINOs will join the democrats and pass it.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

I thought Cruz only got 40% against the white liberal Democrat.

[fortheDeclaration]

The GOP is not planning to send any bill to committee, they are trying to construct an immigration bill in pieces.

They weren't planning on losing in 12 either, but here we are. Immigration should not even be under discussion other than enforce current law.

[fortheDeclaration]

I agree that Immigration shouldn’t be even discussed, but no matter those idiots what they come up it is going to be killed in the Democrat Senate, unless they go to committee, which is what they are intending to avoid (according to Ryan)
