And that is the rationale.
Unions are SOOOOO stupid. They don't realize that with an abundant labor force, they lose all bargaining power. They may think this Kenyan is on their side...but when they are all together in the unemployment line, will they all still love him?
TOTAL BS! This is UNRESTRICTED AMNESTY ON DEMAND! The “Courts” will GUT all those “requirements”!!!
This old bulldyke only spews what she is told. She has no qualifications to be running anything.
The communists just need illegals to win the vote, otherwise the communist democrats would just as soon see them dead.
Probably closer to 20 or 30 million. Sure to grow now that they can expect citizenship.
While eligibility for means-tested welfare theoretically would have been constrained during the first 10 to 13 years under an amnesty plan such as Hagel-Martinez, each amnesty recipient would have become eligible for welfare during the last 30 to 40 years of their life. Accepting the Census Bureau’s conservative estimate of 11 million illegal aliens currently in this country, Rector concluded that amnesty recipients would impose a likely net cost of $2.6 trillion dollars on American taxpayers.
These costs would mainly occur in two non-welfare programs (Social Security and Medicare) and in one means-tested program (Medicaid). Rector’s results are consistent with a 1997 “New Americans Study” by the National Academy of Sciences. If, as some recent studies have indicated, the actual number of illegal aliens in the U.S. is probably closer to the 20-30 million range, their net lifetime fiscal cost to American taxpayers could be more than double Rector’s estimate of $2.6 trillion.
The pro-mass-immigration crowd argues that today's immigrants are just like immigrants of a century ago: poor people looking for a better life who are expected to advance in our land of opportunity. The Nobel Prize-winning advocate of a free market, Milton Friedman, best summed up the essential difference between the two waves of immigrants. He said, “You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.”
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) told CNSNews.com that the constitutional authority for Congress to give amnesty to aliens is the same that allowed for a Moslem born in Kenya to serve as President of the United States. He also said critics who suggest that either is unconstitutional are making a "spurious argument."
Citizenship to illegals is why obama and the democrats are now worried about ignoring the will of the people on healthcare and cap & trade.
Coming in January to a congress near you with cap and trade as the second showing on the double bill. You don’t have to provide health care for illegals. When no one is illegal it will be provided to them automatically.
Same old McCain amnesty lite.
Barack Obama sees his election chances going south, so why not create millions of votes for himself and the Democrats.
Treason and Tyranny. Their encroachment into our freedoms and liberties are criminal and totally Unconstitutional. Stop them!

Back in 2005, Judicial Watch uncovered a Border Patrol survey, also exposed on Free Republic, conducted by the Bush administration in 2004 to determine what impact amnesty would have on illegal immigration. Want to take a guess at the outcome? Just the rumor of Bush's amnesty program led to a sharp spike in (additional) illegal immigration. Here are some of the particulars:
No wonder the Bush administration aborted the survey before its completion and ordered government officials not to talk about it: "Do not talk about amnesty, increase in apprehensions, or give comparisons of past immigration reform proposals," a White House memo stated.
It will be MUCH more than 14 million — and the trickle will turn into a FLOOD once they hear the rumor of Amnesty THIS time, under Obama ... |
I and Theodore Roosevelt have some “issues”, but I do agree with his his famous “immigrant” speech. Seems more appropriate than ever...
“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
heck with this. Where is the wall?
Not a chance this goes anywhere before 2011.
“A tough and fair pathway to earned legal status will mandate that illegal immigrants meet a number of requirements—including registering, paying a fine, passing a criminal background check, fully paying all taxes and learning English,” Napolitano said Friday
She added:
“then the ACLU will sue and we’ll repeal whatever they dont nix, including registering, paying a fine, passing a criminal background check, fully paying all taxes and learning English,”
The progressives need a fresh population of ignorant voters. This will all end in bloodshed if the progressives are able to pull this off.
"And that is the rationale."
What alternate universe are these folks living in? How can they not know that there will ALWAYS be a large illegal workforce that will keep arriving as long as potential amnesty is in the offing.
“giving legal status to illegal aliens will “strengthen our economy.”
So how is it that giving people who have to learn English strengthening our economy?
