Many people may not like him and I don't agree with everything he says, but he on the money with this issue.

Posted on Friday, Real Message of The Bush Amnesty, but you should certainly add your comments to that thread as a consensus emerges.

oops, sorry about that...please remove

One sees here the cynical ploy of “Boy Genius” Karl Rove. With the filing deadlines for the Republican primaries having passed and no GOP opponent, with no Third Party challenger from the Right,

There is a third party challenger from the right. His name is Michael Peroutka.

The 'real message' is that it's not amnesty at all.

[Dialup Llama]

>Imagine a car wash that employs 40 African-American, Latino, and white working-class folks at $8 an hour each. A new car wash down the street opens up, offering 40 new jobs at $5.15 an hour. No Americans apply.

This is how we get 'jobs that Americans won't do,' by artifcially driving down the prevailing wage by flooding the labor market with illegals. Normally a wage will be set with some reference to the cost of living through the market forces. When you flood the labor market you drive the wages below the normal cost of living reference and you suddenly get 'jobs that lazy Americans won't do.' Moreover, the new car wash doesn't want to pay fed withholding, workers comp etc... and so specially excludes workers of a legal status (Americans etc...)

[GROOVY]

It must be an amnesty, Pat repeated the word 12 times in that short piece. Perhaps he tried to force it on the reader a little too much.

I will donate to F.R. if you take the picture of Dean in my home town down .
Its really sick.

"The 'real message' is that it's not amnesty at all."

The "real message" is amnesty for the corporate felons who hire Illegaliens.

[liberallarry]

His amnesty will send this message to the world: the candy store is open, and the Americans cannot protect it. Now is the time to bust in

The real message to the world will be that American is an inclusive, generous and decent society - confident enough in its strength to do this. The statue of liberty still represents this country.

Half a century ago, Dwight Eisenhower, informed there were a million illegals in the United States, most of them from Mexico, ordered them sent back. The project was called “Operation Wetback.”

20 or 30 years before Ike we deported half a million Mexicans. A reminder to those who think this is a recent problem.

I think Buchanan is right to point out that this amnesty puts a tremendous strain on our society. I don't like it. Buts he's wrong about the message it sends and about the consequences of the choices. The world is a different place than it was under Ike or Hoover. Deporting 8 or 12 million to Mexico would completely destabilize its government and society, and I doubt they would go quietly.

[Redbob]

The REAL message?

"I don't give a Kerry what the Conservatives think!"

[warchild9]

If the Mexicans won't go quietly...isn't that what law enforcement is all about? ENFORCEMENT?

Frankly, Bush's message is: keep worshipping me, middle class, and I'll keep destroying you.

[Euro-American Scum]

Taxpayers are then forced to subsidize the newly unemployed—and pay for the medical care, food stamps, rent supplements, welfare, and schooling of all the new immigrants and their families, provide legal services when they get in trouble and pay for more cops to police their neighborhoods.

And just how are taxpayers going to subsidize all of this when there are no taxpayers. Illegals don't pay taxes, remember?

[Tacis]

What 8 to 14 million? There is no aspect of this foolishness that will stop the flow of illegal alien criminals over the southern border. In fact, it should increase the flow as aliens all over Central and South America figure that there will have to be another amnesty somewhere down the road.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS FOR AMERICANS!!! The dope doesn't stop, the criminal aliens don't stop, killers aren't extradited, we don't get our water, blacks don't get jobs, Republicans don't get voters, capital doesn't stop gushing back to Mexico, and Mexican crime doesn't stop. WE GET NOTHING!!!

[sauropod]

I agree with this except for the crack about the "Israeli Lobby."

Its in America's national interest to support Israel 1000%.

[RiflemanSharpe]

The REAL message?

"I don't give a Kerry what the Conservatives think!"


That is what it is saying to me.

[sauropod]

I don't think his name will appear on the ballot in Maryland. The CP has "lost standing" in the People's Republic.

[sauropod]

No Clark, sherlock ;-).
