SAUNDERS: Immigration law backlash not likely

Stevio,

I hope your right, but I have a queasy feeling in my stomach

[CowboyJay]

"Instead, on Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill with a guest-worker program that would allow illegal immigrants to apply for citizenship. Big mistake. If Washington passes an immigration bill that grants citizenship to illegal immigrants and includes a phony temporary guest-worker program -- phony, because there is no way the government can or would remove workers after six years, as one scheme promises -- then the deception will be official. The message Washington will send will resound louder than ever: Forget immigration laws. Legal, illegal, no dif."

What has this country come to when a MSM journalist, from San Francisco no less, better understands the reality of this issue, and holds a more conservative position that a (so-called) Republican President?

The author of the article is correct in her position. If any type of legal status is afforded to illegals, there will be a MASSIVE backlash by American citizens towards the president, and the party in power. Bet on it.

[CowboyJay]

The Party of Treason is the party that would willingly dissolve our borders, weaken our national sovereignty, and decriminalize the packs of criminals roaming our streets and openly scoffing our laws.

Those who side with them are also traitors.

[EagleUSA]

Let's wait and give the other guys a chance. Especially the Congress.

If the past six years are any sign of "progress" on this issue, we are in major trouble as a nation.

[CowboyJay]

"I would doubt if any more than 15 or 20% of these demonstrators are illegals in any case."

This sentence is positively delusional.

[CowboyJay]

"Illegals are a reflection of the wealth differential between Mexico and the US and will never be solved without Mexico achieving a substantial boost in its economic status."

Illegals are a reflection of the numbers of criminals both here and abroad who are willing to openly break our laws when there is financial gain to be had. The only possible long-term effect they can have is to ERASE the wealth differential that we now enjoy.

"They don't care...they have their generous tax-payer financed pensions to look forward to."

Some of them do. They aren't in it for just the $. Wielding power is addictive and they know if they can appease the money people in their own party, not rile the Democrat voters too much, tap dance enough to not have all their base turn on them, they have a chance to hang on until they won't have to kiss up to any of us any longer. They fear the Mexicans far more than any of us. We won't revolt; we're the sheeple. If the Mexicans and Communists don't get what they want, they may be blown up along with some historic buildings.

[penowa]

"Illegals are a reflection of the wealth differential between Mexico and the US and will never be solved without Mexico achieving a substantial boost in its economic status."

That's correct, but what you're leaving out is that you're going to get to donate a big chunk of your earnings to reduce your income and bring someone from south of the border's up to par with what you have left so we can be "harmonized" into one big 3rd world cesspool.

[Sans-Culotte]

So, you think that if a good law were passed, driven by Republicans, that there would, in fact, be a backlash against them?

[trubluolyguy]

Nope. But you show me a good immigration law that the Repub Senate will pass.

[dfwgator]

I am quite convinced we are all going to end up huddled together in Moscow... the last defense of the west...

Actually, we'll be huddled in Warsaw. Russia has plenty of Muslims, Poland has relatively few.

[trubluolyguy]

So it is in that sense a "white-culture"

But in no way did I seek to give off the impression that I was referring to the actual skin color

I get your meaning now. I agree with you.

[SUSSA]

South Jersey, which is at least (from my recollections of the last time I was over there) in not as hopeless a situation as the northern extremeties of the State?

I can see you've never been to Camden.

[georgia2006]

i hate to break this to you but Mexico is a western country and spanish is a western/european langague.

[georgia2006]

it may shock you to know just how much of Russia is muslim

[Sans-Culotte]

show me a good immigration law that the Repub Senate will pass

I agree the spineless ones will not do it. But i agree with the article that the backlash will only happen if they don't.

It's been ages since I've sent any money to the RNC. the last few contributions have consisted of this one that I picked up here at FR:

[georgia2006]

""Just as the amnesty debacle of Reagan cost him.""


What are you smoking??? Reagan never experienced a backlash from 1986 amnesty

[detsaoT]

LOL, yeah I sure did! I forgot that Camden was so far south! :)

[longtermmemmory]

Reagan admitted it was a mistake. It is something that blemished his otherwise sound decisions.

Just as then, we now have the morons of the country club senate trying to apply their delusions to the real world.

[SUSSA]

I just had to mention that.

It's a darn shame what's happened to NJ. Most of the state is beautiful. Of course, I'm old enough to remember when Camden was a nice little city.
