These people are ruinous to the Republic, if not by intent, by effect. They advocate lawlessness just for cheap labor and/or a guaranteed voting block. They cheapen the value of American citizenship and undermine the rule of law. A general amnesty for 30 million illegals and their relatives (I don’t believe the official estimates of 12 million) will destroy our republic. This is probably the most important single issue to ever be considered. If given the option of voting for two candidates who advocate pro-amnesty positions, I will not vote for either. If confronted with the reality of a general amnesty, I will survive but I will know that our national elites can never be trusted again. I will go Galt and only participate in politics at the local level.

If one wants to envision what the Republic will look like after amnesty is granted one need look no further than CA. Reagan did that to CA and a Repub will never ever win again in that state. Some illegal alien loving communities want to allow illegal aliens to vote in local elections because "The kids attend their school system and therefore have to have a voice". (

The "corruptocrats in DC" and the open border crowd have been using the 11-12 million number for over a decade, and yet the border is just as wide open as it was a decade ago. Go figure - I am with you and believe it is closer to 30 million and then add the family members that will have to be freely admitted if "we have a heart and don't want to break up families".
ALL WILL BE VOTING FOR THE SANTA CLAUS PARTY!!!!! The Census Bureau estimates that the illegal alien population is growing by a minimum of 500,000 per year (Testimony of Dan Stein President Federation for American Immigration Reform Presented to the HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATION Thursday, June 22, 2006 ).
