You’re right about the diseases. The writers of this farce of a bill “forgot” to include anything about illegals having to pass any form of simple medical examination.
I'll give you two other words: INCUMBENCY POLITICS.
As Arias-King is describing the underlying motivation, "comprehensive immigration reform" is more about creating a new class of electorate than anything else.
Specifically, a DEPENDENT electorate that will dutifully serve the purposes of the political class.
Must read.

So basically we need to shoot our politicians and nuke Mexico City.
Very interesting analysis and probably spot on.
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them.
Conservative Third Party?
By Basil Harrington
“The GOP is on a downward course to becoming the party of corporate globalism, not conservatism,” said one analyst recently. “Unless Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul or Duncan Hunter receives the 2008 nomination, conservatives will have no choice but to vote third party,” said another.
Conservatives all around the country are talking about the prospect of flocking to a conservative third party*, which more than likely would be the Constitution Party or the America First Party. If they were smart, they would look at the British National Party, Front National, and Vlaams Belang in Europe as models, all of which have made great strides. And unlike the phony neocon GOP in the U.S., these parties are conservative in the true sense: they want to conserve Western man and his ancestral traditions.
How has the GOP gone wrong?
First, there is no greater betrayal than over immigration. So tied to providing cheap labor for big business, all but two Republican Senators recently voted against Senator Dorgan’s amendment to scrap a guest-worker program that will overwhelmingly drive down American wages. They have sided with the corporate globalists against hard-working Americans.
There is a third-world invasion of the U.S. taking place, and many in the GOP (e.g. Bush, McCain, Giuliani, Brownback, Huckabee, Rice, et al.) have actually sided with the invaders against their fellow Americans. As Jean Raspail said in Camp of the Saints, the “best conservative book ever written,” we can make a stand now against the invaders, or we can watch the West crumble and become a third-world wasteland.
Second, the neocon war in Iraq must come to an end. The transformation of the Middle East to liberal democracy is Jacobin, not conservative. It’s a product of Wilsonian utopianism, not conservatism. If we really want to end terrorism in the West, we need to (1) completely withdraw from the Middle East, (2) end foreign aid to all Middle Eastern countries, (3) deport all Muslims from the West, and (4) end all immigration from the third world.
Many do not realize it, but terrorism is primarily an immigration issue, as they are beginning to discover in the U.K. Three of the terrorists recently nabbed in New Jersey (plotting to attack Ft. Dix) were illegal immigrants who entered the U.S . from Mexico and were aided by Mexicans. Over 200,000 Hispanics in the U.S. have recently converted to Islam. And almost all previous terrorists, including those on Sept. 11, were either legal or illegal third-world immigrants. If Seung-Hui Cho had not been allowed to immigrate to the U.S., the Virginia Tech massacre would not have happened.
Third, free trade is destroying our economy and eroding away our sovereignty, and it must end. Historically, conservatives have opposed free trade, and they should, but many in the GOP have been “neoconned” on this issue and now support it in some perverse suicide pact.
The Democratic Party, which during the 19th century was the conservative party while the GOP was the radical left-wing party, is already lost to the globalists. And now it seems that the Republican Party is going the same route. Unless radical change is brought about in the GOP, conservatives will have no choice but foster third-party change.
The stakes are right. The U.S. is on its way to becoming a third-world wasteland. We must act now!
You’re right... we’re all overreacting. We should keep on voting for the likes of Kyl, Snowe, Chafee, Graham, McCain, et al, because they’re soooooooooooo on track with what is right for America. All of this fussing over a little “immigration reform”... shucks, what an irrational temper tantrum.
Pay attention yourself, and read the article before you make such a sophomoric statement. Bushboting RINO-worship is sinking our country, and the primaries are the place to kick those bums out of office.
This is the most insightful essay I have rad on the real engine that is pushing the Amnesty train.
. So far, the immigration debate has centered on the immigrants themselves—whether they are worthy or unworthy. This debate is a red herring, since average Americans are unusually kind and restrained in the face of mass immigration, something that cannot be said about other nations (including Mexico).17 Recent poll findings from Zogby challenge the popular belief that the average American somehow has negative or overtly prejudicial feelings toward Mexicans in particular.18 However, Huntington did not take into account the possibility that the debate could yet be framed in terms of potential usurpation from the political class using immigration as a tool. If an organizeable mass of Americans comes to suspect that mass immigration from Latin America is being used by the political class to undermine their democracy and as a tool to liberate the political elites from the Jeffersonian and Madisonian constraints, then indeed we may witness a reaction—but hopefully not against the immigrants themselves, as they are also objects of elite manipulations in more than one country.
Agreed. It's too long to get many folks to make it all the way through though.
What the political class doesn't realize is that there will come a time when a certain percentage of Americans see no reason not to Vote From The Rooftops.
I suspect it will come sooner than many expect.
Modern politics in the USA makes a lot more sense when you realize what the critters in Washington are really squabbling over is who gets to control the loot.
Good idea. Think I'll post it on mine as well.
This article makes the most sense of anything I have read. Which gets me to thinking.
What we think about this issue can be seen by anyone, because people post on FR exactly what they are thinking. Conversly, I do not know of anywhere where pro-amnesty people write down what they are thinking: "Screw the country, I need the cheap labor for my profit". "Hey, these people will vote Dem, and are easy to buy off with handouts." These are the only thoughts that square with the deeds, the entire political class seems to be working in concert, but don't they need to compare notes? How the heck does the MSM, Dems, OBL, WSJ, and Qusiling Republicans all get on the same page without any precise written communication of their thoughts and strategy? Is there a secret Amnesty-lover message board?
Bumpity for later.
An outstanding, incisive and chilling analysis.
The Founding Fathers also prescribed a cure for usurpation. Hopefully the American people will not apply it so literally, for the sake of those legislators.
Those legislators already know that the patience of the American people is starting to wear awfully thin.
The ball is in their court and they shouldn't double dribble.
