“The long term effect of Amnesty is to expand the social welfare state, but that expansion will destroy representative government and what is left the private free enterprise system. The public sector economy will overtake the private sector economy if illegals are legalized by amnesty.”

Like what happened to France in the last two decades. After mountains of empirical data on the short, intermediate and long-term effects of having open door policies and government hand-outs, we see people who were never entitled in the first place burning, rioting and looting every summer. Try getting a full time job in France. Good luck, all they hire now is part time because hiring a full timer is a life long contract with the employee in control. Look at France’s economic growth from WWII until 1980 then look at it from then to 2007. The Socialist have been booted from power.

Even the liberal French knows this is a failed experiment, so why the *uck is our politicians selling us out for this *hit? I will vote for Mitt Romney next election. He may not win it, but at least I gave it a shot when I emmigrate out of this country before Hillary allows it to be destroyed.

I love history very much and what it teaches us. Why did Rome really fall? The idea of becoming a Roman citizen meant privalege and status. It was worth fighting for, even if you were not a true Roman by birthright. Like Rome, they deteriorated when they cheapened that citizenship in lieu of extra taxes selling it out to any bidder to pay the corrupt Senator’s pleasures. Same thing here people, but nowadays in the information age, this won’t take 400 years, it will happen in 40.

I appreciate your thoughtful comments.

He may not win it, but at least I gave it a shot when I emmigrate out of this country before Hillary allows it to be destroyed.

I love this country. Over the Memorial Day holiday, I returned to the small rural village cemetery where my father's family are buried. My great great grandfather is buried there and he was born in 1813. I know my ancestors voted for Lincoln and were always Republicans as am I. This country has been very good to me and I do have the luxury of emigrating if I choose. I found it interesting, that you mention Hillary. For me, it is not the prospect of a Hillary Presidency that would trigger my emigration, it is the current spectacle of Republican Senators such a Kyl getting in bed with Teddy Kennedy. It is the silence of Mitch McConnell because his wife is a cabinet member. It is that rumblings the Kay Bailey Hutchison has given in kowtowing to Jorge Bush. It is a leader like Lott who is no leader at all. I understand that Santiago, Chile has a nice climate and is a nice city to live in.
