Amnesty wins and republicans go out into the desert to wander for a decade or more

McCain is a republican and should republican voters nominate him, then they can wander in Hell for the next decade, for all that I care.

Screw the GOP and the direction that they have taken this party.

And, in closing, it is apparent that they do not care about that as long as the outcomes that they want are fulfilled, be they by democrats or the GOP.

Learn Spanish real fast.

Amen brother. If McCain is the head of the party, the party no longer stands for what I stand for.

The following is an excerpt.

Amnesty Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $2.6 Trillion

The Senate is currently considering a massive immigration reform bill, the “Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007” (S. 1348). This bill would grant amnesty to nearly all illegal immigrants currently in the United States.

The fiscal consequences of this amnesty will vary depending on the time period analyzed. It is expected that many illegal immigrants who are currently working “off the books” and paying no direct taxes will begin to work “on the books” after receiving amnesty, and therefore tax payments will rise immediately. By contrast, under S. 1348, benefits to these immigrants from Social Security, Medicare, and most means-tested welfare programs (such as Food Stamps, public housing, and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) will be delayed for many years. In consequence, then, the increase in taxes and fines paid by amnesty recipients may initially exceed slightly the increase in government benefits received. In the long run, however, the opposite will be true. In particular, the cost of retirement benefits for amnesty recipients is likely to be very large. Overall, the net cost to taxpayers of retirement benefits for amnesty recipients is likely to be at least $2.6 trillion.
