I am trying to arrange a meeting with him to talk about immigration. He talks a good game. I want to help him to go against Cantor on the issue.

Whenever someone tells you that we need to pass amnesty because “it’s the right thing to do” and because there “are no people to fill jobs”, it demands a look-see to see what’s behind that crap sandwich. In Cantor’s case, a look-see will turn up this.

"Whether it’s the DREAM Act or Cantor’s re-named version of it - the KIDS Act – it’s back door amnesty. We already have an immigration system in place, it’s just not enforced. We already have a pathway to citizenship, or else 757,000 new citizens wouldn’t have been naturalized in 2012 alone. We already have plenty of workers, and not enough jobs, which is why the US is facing a crisis of unemployed workers, disability payments and demands to extend unemployment benefits just this-one-more-time-please-until the economy recovers, which it won’t, under the current regime."

Tell him we need to reverse the magnet that draws the illegals here in the first place. See what his reaction to this is:

1. secure the border in a transparently verifiable way;
2. end the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment;
3. enforce eVerify without exception and with severe penalties;
4. no government benefits beyond critical emergency care (and that ought to be billed back to the Mexican government); and
5. NO "Path to Citizenship" - ever - for anyone who has entered the US illegally.
