In FR we are all ideologues, just like the leftist ideologues...just a different ideology. Of course, we claim to be right and they wrong, which in economics, destruction of the traditional family and other issues seems to be supported by the evidence.
But we need to be careful that we don’t make the same political blunder, especially on immigration. The reality is that our basic position is pro-family and “let the free market decide”. Immigration rhetoric and action contrary to those basic positions makes us look like hypocrites.
The evidence is that free market in immigration and trade is good for the country. The Guttmacher-Malthusians on immigration are likely to cripple the Conservative movement in the same way Obamacare has crippled the left.
Of course, Murder, rape, DUI, welfare parasites are not “free market”. We need to focus on deporting and keeping out those specific types of immigrants (both legals and illegals). No immigrant, legal or illegal should come here to collect welfare.
Uh, speak for yourself, please.
What the hell are you talking about?
The GOP just won a landslide election, an election where Obama hid his intentions on immigration until after the election to protect democrats.
The GOP isn’t going to be mired like the Dems with Obamacare if we don’t double arm embrace illegal aliens. No.
Just the opposite,
If the GOP doesn’t stand up for the rule of law, it’s the GOP that will go the way of the Whigs.
The GOPe’s position, just like the Dems, on immigration isn’t pro-immmigrant. The GOPe’s money holders want to abuse illegal aliens for cheap labor.
If the GOP wants to care about Latinos as a future voting block, the only way to do so is to close the damn border and once closed, then deal with the fallout of who’s here and who we want to come here legally down the road.
I’m sick of the establishment telling me that I’M nativist because I don’t support their paynmaster’s plan to yoke cheap labor. That’s a damn lie, and the liars need to stop pointing fingers or their’s gonna be a fight on our own playground.
