We can put two data points together to arrive at a rather obvious conclusion:
Data point 2: the Obama administration demands "fair wages" for undocumented illegal immigrants. As for data point 2, here's the latest word from Team Obama:
Sec. of Labor, Hilda Solis: "Every worker in America has the right to be paid fairly, whether documented or not."Can't believe that such naked "workers of the world, unite!" Marxism would come out of the mouth of an Obama cabinet member???
Mind you, that policy flies in the face of what Obama's embrace of illegal immigration is having on the US economy and the burden on American (by which I mean actual, documented American) taxpayers:
"Costs on average for every illegal alien headed household about $19,600 more if they consume the city services than they pay in taxes, so the rest of the taxpayers have to part costs. Schools become overcrowded, English as second language programs push out other programs."It doesn't matter that these "undocumented" immigrants are a burden to their own damn countries. And therefore obviously a burden to ours. After all, we liberals don't give a damn about our country, because "we're citizens of the world," so why should we care if they're a burden to America or not???
Oh, well. God damn America, anyway. Certainly, God damn the American taxpayers. And God damn America's borders and America's security, while we're at it.
Now, as to data points 1 and 2, and the rather obvious conclusion, Obama says Jon Kyle is a liar for reporting what the Liar-in-Chief said to him. But then you run into data point 2. And you see how they line up so cozily together. And you know who's lying and who's telling the truth.
Not only does the Obama administration have no intention whatsoever to do anything about border security or reducing the number of illegal immigrants, but he wants to impose more policies to INCREASE the number of illegal immigrants. The more the merrier. At least until the Merry-go-round collapses.
How about this instead: "Every illegal immigrant in America has the right to a good hard boot in the butt out of our country, whether amoral liberals want to demagogue them as a racist partisan issue or not." Do you notice how much better that one sounds?
Notice I'm laying aside the naked chutzpah of a woman who doesn't bother to pay her damn taxes giving me a lecture about paying anything. Oops. I let that cat out of the bag, didn't I???
Sounds like he may have another trick up his sleeve for amnesty if he can’t get the votes. Apparently Chuck Grassley and 7 other senators have sent a letter to the white house to warn/ask him about it.
FUBO
It’s amazing how stacked the deck is for liberals who want to screw us.
Take Prop 8. If it fails, we get the homosexual agenda. If it passes, we get the judges who rule it unconstitutional. And we get the homosexual agenda.
(I still can’t understand how Prop 8 violates gay people’s rights: they have the right to marry any opposite sex man or woman, same as the rest of us do).
In the case of amnesty, one cringes to think just how many tricks there are to ram it through - no matter how much damage it does to the country.
Damage to America is the name of the game.
With 10% unemployment, any TRUE political opposition party could go to town on the DEMS with this.
YES!
What people hunger for is 1) common sense and 2) simple virtue.
We don’t want demagoguery from EITHER side. We just want decent, commonsensical people leading us from the right motives.
Too bad we don’t have very many leaders like that.
There are all-too few Republicans, and absolutely zero Democrats, who give a damn about genuinely solving America’s problems.
These people are nuts!!!!
TREASON!! Enforce the laws!
I think I agree with this. By forcing dirtbag employers to pay illegals what an American would make at the same job, the incentive to hire illegal aliens evaporates. Am I totally off on this?
10mm,
What we keep being told is that if we don’t have all these illegal immigrants, no one else will do the jobs (such as pick our crops) and we’ll starve.
Bullcrap.
Many in my family are farmers. Believe me, Americans are more than willing to work hard.
If we kick out all the illegals, more Americans will have jobs. That will be a good thing.
Wages will go up. Which means that, for a while, prices will go up.
But then what will happen is agri-businesses will start purchasing labor-saving equipment. And that will mean more manufacturing jobs.
The end result will be that we will have even LOWER prices on agricultural products, and there will be more demand - and hence more jobs - in the higher-paying manufacturing sector.
The only thing keeping that from happening is the artificially low wages paid to illegal immigrants, which 1) keeps Americans out of those jobs; 2) undermines the need to invest in labor-saving technology; and 3) continues to leech on our economy as these incredibly low paid immigrants parasitically suck social support benefits at a far higher rate than they pay in taxes (which they mostly don’t pay at all).
