If the GOP is complicit in this amnesty fiasco, either by taking up the Senate bill or through some piecemeal slight of hand with a series of House bills such as we hear are being cooked up this week, the GOP will cease to exist. It will not survive through the 2016 elections. The people will shun the over-tanned, glad-handing, backslapping quislings and look elsewhere for leaders who actually have the spine for the fight. Make no mistake - to me and many, many others, amnesty is the GOP's Rubicon. Cross it at your electoral peril.
How many people would be supporting amnesty if they knew the ACTUAL numbers of illegals who have swarmed into this country?
Combined with an open border, a continuous acceptance of illegal babies being called citizens under the 14th Amendment by using a wrong interpretation of such Amendment, and a deliberate effort by countries south of our border to send us the worst criminals they have, I firmly believe that the number of illegals here is much closer to 50 million.
In the 70’s, in So Calif, the common acceptance of illegals then was 20 million. No politicians challenged that number. Most were thought to be in Calif, Ariz, N Mex, and Texas. They have gotten bolder since those years & have moved into northern, colder climates in the USA.
When you take their higher birth rate & statistics that show that 99% of the babies born in County General hospitals in those states were born to illegal mothers, and those ‘babies’ born in the 70’s & 80’s are now producing babies of their own, you can see a 50 million number.
When Obama campaigned for the White House in 2006-7-8, he used the number of 20 million.
Now—5 years later, he calls such number 11 million.
Where did those 9 million missing illegals go? Even using HIS numbers, it doesn’t add up. They didn’t go back. There hasn’t been a massive die off of illegals. They didn’t contract a disease of any kind that only applied to them. They haven’t stopped procreating, either. That shrinkage doesn’t make sense.
The statement about ‘employers want these workers’ isn’t sensible, either.
What employer would want to hire someone who cannot speak English, cannot read or write such at a level needed for the job, and doesn’t have the work ethic America has?
IF all these fine specimens of worker are so valuable, their own countries would NOT want them to leave for any reason, and they would be already far more successful in their own country, where they are not facing the daunting effects of not even being conversant in the language.
Watch your auto insurance go up and up with more people ‘driving’ who cannot read the street & highway signs.
The employers don’t want another class of uneducated & unskilled workers. The Liberals & Democrats want a new batch of people they think they can push into voting for more Democrats.
Telling us that they can come here legally, but NOT vote won’t wash, either.
We are being incrementally invaded & the fools in the White House & media think this is just a wonderful idea.
We already have a staggering number of American UNEMPLOYED & UNDEREMPLOYED people. Open the doors further to illegals, and then you are paying out government benefits to another large number of people.
Let them build up their own country. We don’t need millions of unskilled people giving those who do work here another level of burden.
