Democrats Will Use Immigration to Divide and Conquer

HumanEventsOnline.com ^ | Mar 28, 2006 | Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa)

[TigersEye]

They are already voting. Legality means nothing.

In CA, yes. Beyond that they still don't have the numbers to outvote the 89% of Americans who oppose this amnesty BS.

[Bull Market]

I'm voting Democrat just because I don't see the difference between the parties now. I feel abandoned by the GOP.

Since everyone wants to keep the fascist socialist Mexicans here so much, then I might as well vote for the socialist party - Democrat.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Exactly, and that is why they'll get hammered--because MOST sane Americans are willing to do the horsetrading needed to get their way, and look askance at those who insist on being lousy sports.

Americans are conditioned to believe that illegal aliens support our workforce, because they supposedly take jobs Americans will not do. ... There is no job Americans will not do. The hottest, most difficult, dirtiest and dangerous job in the world is rooting terrorists out of Fallujah. Marines are doing that job for $8.09 an hour.

Worth repeating.

I think Conservatives need to take a deep breath and then say,"It wasn't the final bill, it wasn't the final bill". I was listening to Rush and some lady claimed Bush said Illegal Immigration is the backbone of our economy but I heard him say that Immigration is the backbone of our economy because we're almost all from legal immigrants which is true. Bush has also stated that he wants the guest worker program but the ones here illegally must get in back of the line, indicating he preferred they return to their native country first although he hasn't said that directly. If that was a condition of the final bill I believe Bush would still sign it. Bush doesn't make legislation and lord knows he's never vetoed one yet which I don't believe Immigration Reform will be the first.

That job has intangibles of martial glory that are kind of hard to attach to the task of picking produce.

It also has 30 days of paid vacation, year-round room and board, comprehensive medical and dental treatment, subsidized leisure activities, and so on.

[SouthernFreebird]

RINOS like President Bush you mean.

[junta]

You got it PC is more of a hazard than these pathetic illegal aliens, at least in the long run.

[Little Ray]

Some worked. Some didn't. Spending and Harriet Miers worked pretty well.

[Little Ray]

I think Bush actually DID threaten a veto if the bill wasn't to his liking.

[Wasanother]

please link because I don't remember Bush threatening a veto on Immigration Reform and the only time I think he threatened one was on the ports deal.

[dagnabbit]

This is false. The GOP barely got 38.24% of the Hispanic vote in 2004.

Bears repeating.

Dim-bulb Bush's plan to double/triple Hispanic migration is suicide for conservative politics in this country.

The GOP may survive in name only by moving hard to the left, though not until after the demographic "flipping" of Texas and Florida pushes the Presidency out of reach for about 20 years.

[Little Ray]

You're right. It was the ports deal.

[tommix2]

Rep King writes:We can stop illegal workers from taking jobs in the U.S. My New Illegal Deduction Elimination Act, or New IDEA, H.R. 3095, would eliminate the tax deduction employers can take on wages and benefits paid to illegal workers so it becomes a taxable event. The result would be to raise the cost of a $10 per hour illegal to a $16 per hour worker, creating the opportunity for American workers, shutting down the jobs magnet and broadening our middle class.

Can anyone clarify this? I don't know enough about tax law to know how this would work.

[johnny7]

Dude... I'm in MA and 80% of voters... a very healthy majority of which are Dem's... want illegals OUT!

If anything... Republican legislators seen queling illegal immigration will be a POSITIVE when many Dem's go to the polls.

[Wasanother]

That ports deal was bad for the President because he went from usually holding his cards close to yelling out his hand before someone called and that's what ticked the congress off.

[justshutupandtakeit]

How foolish. There is NO 3d party capable of "maturing" just varying degrees of silliness.

Hysteria has been very destructive to the GOP and those who should know better are leading the pack.

Anything which increases the power of the Party of Treason is complete stupidity from which NO good will come and immense evil.

[george wythe]

I recall a lot of the same fantasies that black voters would come to the GOP if we let a black politician speak prominently at our convention. Total nonsense.

There is difference between blacks and Hispanics.

Some Republicans have been able to gather a large percentage of Hispanic voters; blacks always remain in the Democratic plantation.

[HamiltonJay]

Sorry, I generally would agree with what you say, but given the party will not do the must fundamental basic governmental function which is defend the borders of the nation, it doesn't matter which party is in control.

Why should republicans be given government, if all they are going to do is spend debt money like water and not protect our borders? Don't need to reward them for ineptitude.

When american citizens are being the repeatative victims of violent crime, and american wages are stagnated due to illegal workers... and the party in power refuses to do a damned thing about it other than to give them a pass... that party is engaging in treason... at that point it doesn't matter who's in charge, if they are going to sell the nation down the toilet anyway, it doesn't matter whether the bill of sale is signed by an R or a D.

On this issue, they can either do the right thing, or be written off... there is no grey area.

[MaineVoter2002]

I agree!
