Scratch Heritage off the list.
Sound like Heritage will be attending the GOP Amnesty Summit next weekend.
I'd like to see that fleshed out so any good arguments could be layed up against the 2000 pages of k|~ @ |) they plan to pass.
I am really surprised at this.
You people ahave got to get some perspective..
Getting Americans to work is even better for the economy.
It’s clear Heritage’s donors have told DeMint to get on board with Amnesty.
“We all know immigration is vitally important to our economy.”
Yes, and cancer is vitally important to a cancer patient. A head injury is vitally important to a victim of a car wreck. Obamacare is vitally important to our economy. What a bunch of crap. This is a disappointing hire by Heritage, to say the least.
What is he thinking or is he thinking at all —
It’s as if you need a spreadsheet to keep track nowadays. I don’t know Moore’s position on immigration, and couldn’t compare it to DeMint’s even if I did. I suspect few others know, either . . . but the direction of this thread is set.
Heritage’s Amnesty Pimp Oligarch donors told DeMint to get with the program or else.
The Chamber of Amnesty and other employer lobbies are going all out on this issue.
Is it possible that Steve was too far to the right for the WSJ? I’m withholding judgment until I see his views as a member of Heritage.
I’ll wait to see what it means.

A Strategic U.S. Immigration Policy for the New Economy
By Stephen Moore March 2001
America’s workforce ages, we need the infusion of young workers — yes, even unskilled workers fill vital niches in our workforce — to keep our economy prosperous and to avoid the kind of serious demographic crisis that may soon beset most other advanced developed nations. A policy of gradually bumping up quotas from the current level of about 800,000 per year to a range of 1-1.5 million would ensure that we have a steady stream of young workers to keep our economy prosperous when the baby boomers begin to retire.

Immigrants and Welfare
Studies at the Cato Institute, confirmed by other scholars, suggest that immigrants use welfare and other social services at about the same rate that U.S.-born citizens do, despite that the foreign born have higher rates of poverty. The taxes paid by immigrants typically cover the cost of public services used.
What will El RushBo think of this. And, someone, tell me what’s wrong with our old immigration policy? Do we even know what it is/was.?

Family-Based Immigration
Family immigration is also an imperative of our immigration policy because if immigrant workers cannot get their family members into the U.S., many will not wish to come. If we want skilled immigrants, we need to allow them to bring their families. Although opponents of the family system argue that it encourages “chain migration,” reports by the U.S. General Accounting Office indicate that chain migration is not a major problem.
