I object to the legal immigrants who are allowed to come here and access all the benefits of the welfare state — welfare, food stamps, WIC, Medicaid, housing subsidies, much, much more. We are importing parasites, legal and illegal. When they get their visas, they are asked to sign a form that says they will never become a public charge, or those who sponsor them in are asked to sign a similar pledge. But it is never enforced. How does this, pray tell, help our country and benefit its citizens? We need a time out on all immigration to give the ones who are here a chance to assimilate, and to give American taxpayers a break.
If Republicans were smart, they would insist on Feb. 25 that any further discussion of expanding government subsidized health care is off the table until and unless Congress secures the borders and provides a bulletproof guarantee that none of the 12 million illegal immigrants in this country will qualify for taxpayer-financed health benefits.
Put Obama in the position of either publicly pledging to such a guarantee (which will enrage nearly all Dems in Congress) or publicly defending rewarding illegal immigration by making illegals eligible for such largesse (which will enrage nearly all taxpayers). This is what in political parlance would be known as a “win-win” situation for Republicans.
We're importing VOTES for the Rat party of entitlements. It's obscene.

This is interesting....LINDA CHAVEZ, open border rino, strikes again. We better all learn who these people are with an ‘r’ behind their names...because they are sure not conservatives!
Book Burning
By Mark Krikorian, February 12, 2010 Center for Immigration Studies
Linda Chavez and I have had our disagreements, so take this for what it’s worth, but a paragraph in her column today was deeply disturbing, all the more so for its casualness. In listing lessons she learned from weathering the snow storms, she wrote:
” Third lesson: Don’t give away old books; they burn better than artificial logs. I was glad I had a few left-wing tomes to throw in the fireplace, along with my collection of reports from the Center for Immigration Studies. I’m not sure which threw off more hot air, but they kept us warm for a few hours.”
I don’t even care about the snarky comment about CIS’s work; it’s sophomoric, but such is life. But the very idea of burning books fills me with disgust — I wouldn’t burn “Mein Kampf” or “Das Kapital,” for heaven’s sake, let alone Michael Moore’s “Dude, Where’s My Country” or the tendentious, open-borders dreck from the Center for American Progress. Sure, some stuff you eventually have to throw away or recycle, but book-burning just gives me the creeps. Maybe this was an attempt at humor, but if so, it failed.
