In either case, his point was that the Republicans aren't doing anything for us, they're no better than the Rat party.

Which is utter nonsense. There are a hell of a lot more issues facing us than illegal immigration. And regarding Il.Im., without GOP control of the house or senate there wouldn't be any fence proposal approved. 370 or 700 miles obviously isn't enough, but it starts to close the gap and makes it easier to come back and argue for closer off the remaining gap.

A dem congress can filibuster judges until they retake the WH and then appoint USSC justices who will simply declare walls, enforcement, and scaling back of Il.Im. 'rights' to be unconstitutional.

To claim that the GOP is no different from the Dems is completely ridiculous, even when they do disappoint us.

"the elite ruling class and the serfs."

We are already in the early stages of that scenario, as we witness high paying jobs being outsourced and the rapid disappearance of the middle class.

These amnesty-supporting RINOs are selling out our country! I am so mad at McCain and Graham as they do Ted Kennedy's dirty work for them.

Question for Mr. Kudlow: With: 1) the 12 million new citizens we will be gaining through an amnesty (that really isn't an amnesty) and all the dependents they will be bringing along with 2) the jobs that are being outsourced, why do we need these guest workers?

Won't get an argument out of me. What is amazing is how many people in this country just don't see or get it.

Turns out Kennedy also wrote the Hagel-Martinez bills... something fishy is at the root of all this, we are missing a key..... granted McCain is looney-tunes and maybe Kennedy suffered oxygen depravation at the bottom of that bridge, but what in the world is going on with Hagel? Graham? and a few others?

"There are a hell of a lot more issues facing us than illegal immigration."

Think about this statement for a moment. It's like saying "I have a lot more medical issues than just terminal cancer".

Illegal immigration is the terminal cancer that is destroying America from within. Now, the Republican controlled Senate are trying to pass a bill that will allow 100 million new immigrants into the U.S. over the next 20 years. They are saying to us: "OK, you're forcing us to act on illegal immigration, so we'll just let them all in another way".

Their may still be some differences between Republicans and Democrats, but every year I see those differences shrinking. We are losing our country to like-minded globalists and multi-culturalists from both sides of the political aisle. Maybe you're not old enough to remember what America once was, and therefore can't fully see what we are fast becoming.

It sounds to me like we are trying to give our "poverty," unemployment, "uninsured," welfare recipients and crime stats a boost. They've been on the decline lately. The 'RATS need high "misery index" stats in order to continue getting elected.

LOL! I was thinking that, or maybe giving them fifty percent of whatever land they can reclaim by building dikes.

I read a scary article in my local paper a few weeks ago -- that Mexicans are being encouraged to take advantage of our law about serving in the army and getting citizenship to sign up (in our military) to get military training and equipment. These are members of LaRaza and part of their planned war to take back the SouthWest.

There would have to be a 15% growth rate to create that many jobs, which proves that this Heritage study is all wet.

It has less to do with jobs than it does with chain migration. Many of these people won't be working. They will be coming in as relatives, i.e., spouses and children of guest workers.

Well, the U.S. could maintain a 4:1 ratio of workers to retirees by admitting an additional 57.5 million workers over the next nineteen years, according to analyst William Kucewicz. This would result in an average annual population increase of less than 1 percent and a total of only 16.4 percent more than the 350 million projected by the Census Bureau for 2025.

The question is what kinds of workers will our ecomomy need? Do we have to accept the self-selected poor and uneducated from Latin America? If we don't secure our borders, we will have more legal immigrants plus the same flow of illegals who couldn't qualify for immigrant status if they applied legally. The elites of this country are living in a different world than the rest of us.

Unfortunately, you are correct.

It's a long term plan coming to a head.

But never quit! Stay for the good fight!
