We keep hearing insistent claims that if Republicans don't pass amnesty yesterday it will be the end of the party.
Can I see the math on that? I can see why bringing in 30 million new Democratic voters would be good for the Democrats, but how does it help Republicans? Maybe conservatives shouldn't blindly trust the calculations of the guy who graduated fifth from the bottom of his class at the U.S. Naval Academy.
If I were a Democrat, I would have tried to sneak this bill past Republicans by proposing amnesty only after reaching some easily rigged benchmarks. But, apparently, Chuck Schumer knows elected Republicans better than I do.
Step One: Everyone's amnestied. Step Two: After they're amnestied, they can bring in all their relatives.
If Hispanics voted 50.1 percent for Democrats, amnesty would be a bad deal for Republicans. But, in fact, they vote 70 percent to 80 percent for Democrats. How did it become an urgent priority for Republicans to bring in 30 million new voters, 80 percent of whom will vote Democratic?
Democrats want 30 million new voters and they will say anything to get there:
-- It's a crisis! Illegal immigrants are "living in the shadows"!
That's not a "crisis." At most -- and this is highly dubious -- it's a crisis for the illegal immigrants. But evidently, "living in the shadows" is at least better than living in Guadalajara. Otherwise, there's an easy solution.
We're told, "You don't know what it's like to live in the shadows!" Yes, you're right, and that proves it's not a crisis...

Yes. she did.
Really? You'd have to show me that. I don't recall ANY "conservative" pundits challenging Bush's push for "a new America"...
“I was just pointing out that she no longer supports Christie. You said supports.”
I for one do not believe her, she has lied and mislead us before for her own reasons. So she can say whatever she wants, I do not trust her nor do I care what she has to say.
try a simple archive search on her web site. I am sure you’re capable.
You have to admit, she wandered in the RINO wilderness for the past few years.
I'm glad to have her on this illegal issue, she'll help a lot.
Interesting. I'm supposed to prove you right?
I went to her archive. There was only one in 2006 that could be against what Bush was doing. The archive goes back to 2000. Bush wanted to do basically what Obama is doing regarding illegal aliens and I don't recall any conservatives talking against it.
No. Coulter takes, and deserves, a lot of crap here because she unapologetically helped the GOPe foist Romney on the party, and STILL thinks Pork Porkie would make a great president. I agree with the poster who said they take Coulter one column at a time. She's a northeast, "Log Cabin Republican" and seems to sell out too easily. Still, most of Ann's columns are very entertaining, and she is usually on the conservative side of the issues.
Those of us who DO remember 2006, though, do recall...in fact, that the amnesty push by Graham, McCain, Martinez and Kennedy was fierce but short-lived.
The Senate had defeated it by June, and Ann Coulter’s column against amnesty appeared in May.
The Senate plan for amnesty died mainly because die hard conservatives opposed it, and Ann Coulter was among those speaking out.
Last week on Hannity's radio show she still loved Pork Porkie.... thinks he's the greatest thing since Virginia Slims, and sounded like she wanted him to run for president. Has she had a change of heart in the past week?
From the column:
Maybe New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie supports amnesty (as he did, via his appointed senator), hoping to be the last Republican ever elected president. There’s one for the history books!
But if Christie says he’s pro-life while giving the Democrats 30 million new voters, he’s a liar. Hispanics favor abortion by 66 percent, compared to 50 percent of other voters.
If he says he opposes Obamacare, court-mandated gay marriage, wants small government and loves his country while voting to give the Democrats 30 million new voters, he’s a liar.
Hispanics support Obamacare by 62 percent, gay marriage by 59 percent and big government by 75 percent.
If he says he opposes bloated, expensive public sector unions, he’s a liar. Look no farther than California for our future.
Instead of the elites bringing in another flood of low-wage immigrants to clean their homes and manicure their lawns (and vote Democrat!), how about we start getting some immigrants to compete with Florida senators and New Jersey governors?
Yes, I did go and read that. I guess her visit to Hannity’s show was before Porkie appointed a pro-amnesty senator. Maybe she HAS finally had a change of heart when it comes to Pork Porkie. Or... maybe she read the writing on the wall and is just trying to bring former fans back.
She announced at CPAC that she had become a one-issue voter: against immigration “reform.” I guess she still thought Christie was OK when she was on Hannity, but his appointing a pro-immigration-”reform” senator ended that.
I measure anyone’s standing on the company they choose to keep, she dated Bil Maher.
Living in the shadows like the cucaracha.
Is Andre Carson radical enough for you?
