Immigration, America’s Advantage
National Review Online ^ | APRIL 25, 2014 | Lee Habeeb and Mike Leven

Posted on 04/25/2014 1:41:24 PM PDT by Monmouth78

We know that we’re not going to deport all of these people. Why we’re waiting so long to make these de facto citizens legal makes no political sense.

That reminds me :

Bundy on immigration:
Now, let me talk about the Spanish people. You know I understand that they come over here against our constitution and cross our borders. But they’re here and they’re people – and I’ve worked side-by-side a lot of them.
Don’t tell me they don’t work, and don’t tell me they don’t pay taxes. And don’t tell me they don’t have better family structure than most of us white people. When you see those Mexican families, they’re together, they picnic together, they’re spending their time together, and I’ll tell you in my way of thinking they’re awful nice people.
And we need to have those people join us and be with us…. not, not come to our party.

Lee and Mike:

We need to take a time-out to this head long rush to cultural and societal suicide.

The old blue print of a hundred-plus years ago no longer works to Americanize the heathens we bring into our midst’s.

And, they are heathens, until they become American.

“Why we’re waiting so long to make these de facto citizens legal makes no political sense... unless we don’t want the Democrats to become the sole ruling political party in the USA analogous to the Communist Party in China.

This article and its authors are insane.

But, the entire republican gang is dead set on amnesty, so it will happen.

There is no opposition party on this issue. The problem here is that this position is really a position on “ending America” for good.

Adios, amigos. We better start something of our own nation sometime soon!

I don’t think Lee and Mike want America as we know it to survive. They see our suicide as their victory.

National Review. RINO Review.

The article is just insane.

“We know that we’re not going to deport all of these people. Why we’re waiting so long to make these de facto citizens legal makes no political sense.”

Elect me President and see how long it takes to get deportation started.

Illegals are not de facto citizens, they are de facto residents.

Citizens can vote. Citizens cannot be deported for committing felonies. Citizens can more easily and legally bring relatives here. No, we should not make these criminals citizens. I have no problem with legal immigration, which we should expand to the point that there is no room for illegals to come as criminals, but crime should never be rewarded.

Teddy got Reagan to pass immigration reform, which lead the the death of the Republicans in California. For democrats, this is only about turning Texas blue and killing off the republican party in the rest of the US.

The entire country could look like a scene from Escape From New York and folks like these writers would be tickled pink as long as the DOW keeps climbing.

You are correct. Amnesty will declare to the world that the dying USA will never again enforce immigration laws.

The country no longer sees any point in setting itself apart from the third world, because it is happily sliding itself into third-world status.

They are not citizens, de facto or any other kind. They are ILLEGAL!!! In any country but the USSA they would have been sent off as soon as they surfaced. Obama and Holder are committing a CRIMINAL act by not enforcing the law.

No we should not expand legal immigration. At least not from the third world. Legal third world immigrants vote for leftists and replicate their failed societies here.

Muslim immigrants mostly come here legally. We sure as hell don't need even more of that poision.

We don't have to deport them.

Just stop giving them jobs and free stuff.

The rest will take care of itself.

The comments made by “Jeb” Bush and Boehner are pretty lame and transparently self-serving.

But you DO need PEOPLE to run a country.

As long as native American females feel its a “right” to terminate the lives of their own babies, and as long as the majority of them have been convinced that a “career” should superceed reproductive responsibilities, and as long as native American males feel life should be a smorgasboard of sexual encounters with no real ties to the women and children involved, they cannot keep pace with the mortality rate.

And so, where are the replacements to come from? Perhaps we are faced with the BEST alternative - Latin Americans, Chinese and Japanese immigrants.

In Europe, they are faced with lunatic Muslims.

And as for contemporary Europeans who feel that they should be able to work a 30 hour work week, get cradle to grave benefits, have three months a year off for vacation and retire at 50, we can do without them also.

And by all means make sure our citizens become enthusiastic about picking crops, slaughtering chickens, etc. and all those other lovely jobs currently held by immigrants. Plus insist that the businesses pay high enough salaries so that our citizens will take the jobs, and enable all of us to pay more for the food we now enjoy relatively cheaply. Do that and indeed the rest will take care of itself. Hope you like it.

I’m going to be posting more NR so Freepers can see just how bad it has become. One of their editors attacked the invaluable Mark Steyn recently for the sin of “homophobia.”

They lost the plot years ago, but lately, the ridiculousness of it has been coming into sharper relief.

One would think that NR would have rallied to the Tea Party. But they are maintaining a strained “neutrality,” refusing to side against the establishment. Generally, they try to avoid controversial issues and run a lot of puff pieces on establishment “personalities.”

It’s getting more and more like a bad college paper.

Who needs replacements?

The decadent career women and men will eventually die off and the "good" ones left can re-populate the USA in 2-3 generations.

White Liberals will go extinct on their own, why replace them with their Brown equivalents?

They looked at the plummeting violent crime rates in Los Angeles as illegals began displacing blacks starting in the early 90’s. They decided to take this low-budget urban renewal program national regardless of its effects on smaller cities (ex: Palmdale, CA) - because the “people who matter” don’t live there, anyway. They don’t dare name their plan accurately, however, so we instead hear talk of “hard work” and “uniting families” and “compassion.”

Please keep posting NRO articles. I stopped reading NRO a while back because, well...they’re NRO and that means “compassionate conservative” mentality. They’re the news magazine for Jeb Bush and John McCain admirers.

When they blasted John Derbyshire, and called him a racist, for his excellent article about “The Talk” (http://takimag.com/article/the_talk_nonblack_version_john_derbyshire#axzz1rJPlABLB) in Taki’s Magazine —and fired him for it — that was enough for me. Rich Lowry is an effete, smug, intolerant scumbag. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/295514/parting-ways-rich-lowry

What this nation does not need is politically correct Republicans.

J.T.
