Watched ABC this morning with John McCain. They are going to shove through immigration reform which is really rewarding lawbreaking illegals with citizenship because their numbers are huge. His first reasoning was political.

Any legislation that legalizes the status of those who broke our laws by entering our country illegally and allows them to stay and work here is amnesty. We must not only prevent the Democrats and some moderate Republicans from hijacking the meaning of the word amnesty, but the public must be made aware about the true impact of an amnesty. The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty would be $2.6 trillion just for increased entitlement program costs. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.

And the Reps are nuts if they think this will help them gain Hispanic voters. What they are doing is just adding more Dem voters cementing their status as the permanent majority party.

Just listen to what Eliseo Medina, SEIU International Executive Vice President, said in 2009 about the political impact of amnesty. It is truly chilling.

We agree on amnesty, kabar.....but the Ruling class sees it differently (even Ryan). We are getting it. These guys are such horrible negotiators. Let’s tell the dems/obama we NEED reform (amnesty) to get reelected. It won’t help them, but it will further destroy America.

Up on MSNBC - just saw a commercial bashing Hagel - YAY - didn’t catch who put it on.

That's assuming that there are only 12 million now what if there are more?

It seems to me that if the regime gets exactly what they want on amnesty this will be the way to literally break the bank and Cloward/Piven the country. At that point it will be a given.We will be economically, socially and politically finished.
