Amnesty Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $2.6 Trillion [Flashback to '07]
Heritage Foundation ^ | June, 2007 | Robert Rector

Posted on 07/10/2010 3:42:26 AM PDT by T.L.Sink

[Flashback] Robert Rector of Heritage discussed the most comprehensive, detailed and objective study of the illegal alien crisis ever done. His conclusion was that the social, economic and political consequences of the massive illegal invasion, if not curtailed, will result in the collapse of the whole American cultural infrastructure in about 20 years. His research caused a sensation. He appeared on C-Span, numerous media outlets, and talk radio shows. His study was quoted in the Senate when the issue of comprehensive immigration (a/k/a amnesty) was being debated. Most notewothy is the fact that NONE of the open-borders advocates nor the proponents of amnesty could factuallly repudiate his data. All the facts that he compiled to make his extrapolations are right now on-target and coming to fruition.

This is a huge reason we need to elect conservatives into office in November. Not RINOs. Conservatives.

Charge, convict and incarcerate the HR directors and CEO’s of the big hotel and restaurant holding companies. That’s first...

Second, seize the assets of said individuals as illegally obtained by knowingly employing undocumented workers. If these people think the house and boat are in danger. They WILL get rid of their illegals. Use the RICO laws.

Then go after the small employers. They are just as bad.

Amnesty will guarantee that your children live in poverty and squalor.

In the past few months I have come to realize that that is EXACTLY what the liberal elites want! The literally want to destroy the most successful society the world has ever known and replace it with a third world sh#thole where there are only the rich and the peasants.

In the past most immigrants came with very little but only wanted the freedom and opportunity to succeed. And most of them did and at the same time made great contributions to America’s greatness.

Spiritually these were Americans. They had an internal compass that drove them home to their native land, the land of freedom. They were the children of the promise, heirs to the American Dream. They knew this vision wasn't a handout to be stolen from the inhabitants, but a reward for anticipated hard work.

The enemy has sown the land with aliens - despisers of liberty, law, goodness, and every blessing and Godly character trait of those who love and respect truth and justice. From every direction they have slithered in. The land is now filled with them. America still exists in the hearts of her true and faithful heirs, making the enemy froth with anger. After all, even after decades of propaganda, perversion, and frankenfood to corrupt the mind, soul and body of the natives, a remnant survives.

The devil has come down in plain sight (look to the White Hut for proof), so he (and his minions) knows that he has but a short time.

The children of the bondwoman (ha-ger = "the stranger") are not heirs with the children of the freewoman, try as they might.

The American spirit is a modern-day longing for and orientation toward Zion. Zion is a word meaning a signpost, a monument... a prominent directional arrow in the midst of the desolate, parched place, pointing toward the oasis.

Jeremiah 16:14-15 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

It's as if the north is the new Egypt (house of bondage), and Obama is the pharaoh of the north who [conveniently] forgot about Joseph.

Jeremiah 31:6-12

6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.
7 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
11 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

And that's not including whatever value we put on our Founding Documents.

The only problem with that is Obama has emptied America’s wallet and we’ve got nothing to fork over. Maybe, like Mexifornia, we can issue I.O.U.’s.

I disagree. I think it is so unusual to see a columnist courageous enough to actually take a position that will get them accused of racism that Buchanan gets unfairly tarred when he doesn’t support Israel’s foreign policy. That is my view. I personally care very little about mid-east policy specifically and foreign policy generally. My opinion is that if we get our economic policies right and stay a free republic then we will be too powerful for anyone to defeat.

Good comment and I appreciate the humorous sarcasm. But listen to MSNBC and other MSM outlets and we soon learn that that garbage is what they report as fact and serious news!

Right you are! I just hope we conservatives don’t get too complacent because Obama’s dropping in the polls and we start to assume that it’s a done deal. Turn out is still the key!

Amen. We are in end times and we are being tested, one last test. Can we recognize the Obama Nation Of Desolation and come out of her sin? It is a matter of loving and serving God or loving and serving sinful human nature come to focus in the usurping deceiver Obama.

The wise choose to serve the LORD God. We do not have to go anywhere. It is a matter of repenting and turning to God. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Christ stands at the door and knocks.

Good point. Here’s my corrolary:

For that amount, you could just offer each illegal $90,000 to leave.

He doesn't just oppose Israel's foreign policy. Buchanan opposes everything Israel does to protect himself. He has called for US foreign aid for Hamas. He has no problem with forcing Israel to accept suicide by means of "the right of return"

Lawrence Auster pretty well dealt with this.

I’m personally not going to waste my time reading attacks on Buchanan for it. Everyone that doesn’t go along with the neo-cons gets called antisemitic. It’s just the way it is.

Children of illegals are CONSIDERED CITIZENS. This is the problem, since the INS in the 1980’s decided that it was to expensive to deport all the children of illegals it has been ASSUMMED that they are citizens. The 14th amendments grants citizenship to all persons born on American soil and ALSO are born with allegiance to the U.S. (subject)by birth to parents that are U.S. citizens.

A couple of days ago some Russian spies and their children born here were deported back to Russian. If those children were considered American citizens ,how was it possible that they were deported without a federal immigration hearing on their behalf. Perhaps our laws are only enforced against Europeans,not Mexicans.

But the powerful political and ethnocentric factions ignore with indifference America's accelerating journey into bankruptcy and Third World status. "Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder." - Arnold Toynbee

There is only one reason for boy king and his "Holder" to sue AZ over the passage of SB 1070 - they want up to 30 million UNDOCUMENTED DEMOCRATS to start voting ASAP.
