"Congressman Reconquista": Immigration Reformers Not Welcome In GOP

We were all propagandized into limiting our families to two children

I think populationist propaganda had less to do with it than hard economic realities. I strongly advocate returning per-child deductions to the real (inflation-adjusted) value they had when the income tax was introduced, instead of treating the decision to have children as essentially equal to the decision to have tropical fish.

the worker to retiree ratio has fallen to 3 to 1.

Retirees can't be supported on the tax payments of lawn-mowers and toilet-scrubbers; no help there.

Do not see any other solution to this problem besides really stepping up border enforcement.

We also need to seriously and consistently punish employers who violate laws against hiring illegals. Too many pols of both parties go to bat for the lawbreaking (and campaign-contributing) employer against law enforcement.

>>"We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego, and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans." ~Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985<<

Wow. This sounds like terrorism.. Latin Al-Queda setting up 'cells' to murder Americans. Sheese, what are we worrying about security for?? I know I know, Kennedy and McCain are going to fix this. Uh-Huh... back to sleep now America... alllllll is fine.

How about returning the income tax to the net-net basis on which it was imposed 50 years ago?

I still have my parent's returns for the early 1950's in which they deducted numbers of items that are no longer deductible. The income tax was basically imposed on income over and above the cost of living.

The dramatic expansion of the income tax has been the reduction of deductions, after the steep progressivity was introduced, which originally was justified under the rubric that, well, nobody really needs all that income to live.

Once the high marginal rates were in effect, the Congress went back and reduced deductions, just like they did in 1986 and as they are doing now, effectively, with the Alternative Minimum Tax.

Concurring needs-to-be-emphasized bump.

"Chris was born in Salt Lake City on October 20, 1950."

From his web site. My first litmus test of every male Republican. When did they turn 18 and which branch of the military did they serve in. Chris, a Vietnam age young man, failed the test.

In the future, it will be interesting to see how many of his eight children--particularly his sons, follow in their father's footsteps as opposed to doing the right thing.

Look into Geneva Steel. I don't know. I do know Nucor does quite well without a hint of hiring illegals. His touchiness may have more to do with the "mission work" he was doing while other men his age were sacrificing performing military missions for their country. Apparently he wandered around spanish speaking areas for a couple years in lieu of going to Fort Benning.

May I butt in here and ask if anyone can translate the
following article? Daily I read La Voz deAztlan, Korean
and China News, etc. At the Korean site this caught my
eye - looks like "operational plan 5029" Just curious -
can anyone help? They always have a couple of Spanish
articles and I don't speak the language.


"Plan operacional 5029" y "el conceptual 5029" son la misma cosa
Pyongyang, 10 de mayo (ATCC) -- En estos tiempos, Estados Unidos y las autoridades surcoreanas se proponen cambiar el "Plan operacional 5029", trazado bajo el pretexto de "hacer frente" a la "situacion emergente" de alguien, por el supuesto "Plan conceptual 5029". Pero, esto no es mas que un artificio para encubrir el caracter agresivo del aventurero plan de guerra contra la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea y aplacar la opinion publica opuesta a este guion.
Senala asi un comentario individual publicado en la edicion del dia 10 del periodico Minju Joson y prosigue:
Sea cual fuere el titulo del "plan" militar que elabore EE.UU., es para atacar a la RPDC y derrocar su regimen y sistema.
En este sentido, EE.UU. acelera sus preparativos belicos a base de un proyecto de golpe preventivo trazado para aplastar a la RPDC.
Si el imperio desata por fin otra guerra en Corea, todos los coreanos, tanto los nortenos como los surenos, seran perjudicados por igual.
Para prevenir la guerra, defender la paz en la Peninsula Coreana y mantener la seguridad de la nacion, todos los habitantes del Norte y el Sur deben levantarse unanimemente para frustrar la siniestra intencion del Tio Sam de provocar una guerra de agresion.
En la actualidad, no hay otra tarea mas apremiante que lanzarse a la lucha contra el imperialismo y la guerra y por la defensa de la paz.
Los habitantes surenos deben calar lo agresivo de la politica norteamericana y desplegar con mas audacia la lucha contra la guerra y por la retirada de las tropas gringas del suelo surcoreano. El ejercito y el pueblo de Corea vigilan muy alertos tales maniobras gringas y se alzaran a la sagrada batalla por exterminar a los invasores si es desatada otra guerra en Corea.
EE.UU. debe distinguir bien la realidad y portarse con prudencia. Asimismo, ha de abstenerse de maniobrar para provocar una aventurera guerra contra la RPDC y debe sacar cuanto antes a todas sus tropas agresoras del territorio surcoreano.

I did a quick Babelfish translation since my Spanish is so rusty (haven't had it since college). Nothing new in there...NK is accusing us of forming a dastardly "Plan 5029" with SK whereby we would attack NK. They are screaming that we're getting ready to attack them and are urging all Koreans (northern and southern) to oppose the Imperialist Monster. It's just the usual Marxist hogwash. My question is if these Aztlan pukes are cozying up to the Marxists of the world and, if so, how close that relationship is.

There are plenty of miscreants in the world -- Marxists, Islamofascists, and others, with the same goal: the destruction of the United States. I have no problem imagining them teaming up in pursuit of it.
