The Ripoff of American Workers and Taxpayers (Illegal Immigration and Amnesty)

Eagle Forum ^ | 4/26/06 | Phyllis Schlafly

She gets it right again...

HELL NO to Amnesty! And RINO Senators that vote for amnesty deserve to be THROWN OUT OF OFFICE!

[nj26]

And let me add another thought.. how do the pro-amnesty advocates feel about legalizing thousands of Muslim illegals from the Middle East (as determined by McCain/Kennedy)?

[LALALAW]

Reconquista, NO! Si se puede!

"If the Internal Revenue Service collected all the taxes that should be paid by the underground economy, our current budget deficit would disappear overnight, according to the Bear Stearns study released last year. The Americans who pay taxes are giving a free ride to those who are not paying taxes, and a 7-cent increase in the price of lettuce should not be on our worry list."

Two words.... Fair Tax.

"OLYMPIA — Washington state’s Medicaid program made nearly $1 billion in questionable payments last year, and may have to refund millions of dollars for improperly paying illegal immigrants’ medical bills, a state audit says."

Phyllis doesn't know it but I adopted her as my mother. If a person could choose their relatives...

"And RINO Senators that vote for amnesty deserve to be THROWN OUT OF OFFICE!"

I'd like to see those that are pro-illegals become afflicted with a plague that these illegals may be carrying into our country.

[trubluolyguy]

will expose the lie expressed by President Bush in Cancun, Mexico that they are "doing work that Americans will not do."

Doing work Americans won't do....

It's a religion of peace....

CFR would be bad law and I'd veto it....

Harriet Meiers is the most qualified person for the job....

Getting to be a pattern here.

That's easy. It's a religion of peace. Bush said so, so it must be true right?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Thank Christine HAYWIRE!!!!

[stopem]

Dereliction of duty?

Amnesty? the least of our worries at the moment. May 1 miltants will march across this great land and threaten to shut down America and no one is stopping them!

[manwiththehands]

There is no penalty on employers who replace Americans with illegal aliens at lower pay. Homeland Security even announced it has suspended the sanctioning of employers who hire illegal aliens, and President Bush suspended the Davis-Bacon Act, which requires local contractors to pay "prevailing" wages.

And President Bush sold us the Department of Homeland Security. However, any claim ever made by President Bush that "homeland security" is important is now suspect and seems phony. And the "Republican" party is going to pay dearly for it.

[nmh]

Right on!

If you go to Phyllis Schlafly's website, you can see Bush's Latino campaign video--- quite an eye-opener:

The tone of discussion on this matter on this board is often troubling to me. I hear a lot of anger and downright nastiness.

These illegals are not animals. They are human beings, created in the image and likeness of God. They are part of the "all men" that our Declaration of Independence speaks of, as being created equal and endowed with inalienable rights.

The New Colossus - Emma Lazarus.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Such was the spirit that, once, allowed God's blessing to rest on this nation. This is the spirit of the Gospels. Come, all ye heavy laden.

We may well be seeing the last of the blessing in these days. Hating the stranger and alien was, and is not something that God approves.

Humans in need are going to do what they can to improve their lives. You can no more turn back the tide of the oceans than stop this, short of a full blown police state.

I think the President is being true to the deepest principles of our Republic's foundation. How to "sell" this to a reactionary and volatile populace is a difficult task. But, it IS the right thing to do.

Isn't your own tone quite troubling?

Why are you smearing the above posters with false accusations?

None of the above messages are angry or nasty.
None of the messages comes anywhere close to suggesting "illegals are animals", as you falsely suggested.
I think you owe people an apology.

Does having a different opinion on an issue give you license to smear people who think differently as being angry, nasty, or comparing people to animals?

How spiritual is it to abuse your religious beliefs as a weapon to smear people with false accusations?

If the countries south of the border were to live by the words WE BELEIVE, that "all men ARE created equal," the problem would not exist. As long as our nation acts as a "safety valve" for corrupt governments there will be no improvement to the live of those unlucky enough to escape poverty. Feeling as you do, shouldn't we also let in every Haitian, Angolan, orphan of Bangladesh. There are countries whose citizens are far, far, worse off than the illegal aliens we now have in our country. Aren't they more deserving? What have you done to help those with sorry plights besides criticizing those who feel nations need borders?

I was speaking generally - not to this thread specifically. Sorry if that was not clear.

Sigh -

Red herring.

But, what I have done? - adopted an orphan boy from Russia - since you asked.
