As true as Schlafly's data on Hispanics may be, it is race-based. That is unfair and political poison. We don't need to, and should not, go there.
Amnesty rewards law-breaking, punishes law-abiding applicants and American workers and gives unfair advantage to residents of a contiguous country. That is all we need say.
Also unfair is to call them economic migrants, as if that is a negative. Much of the "better life" that U.S. immigrants have historical sought is based on higher living standards. For example, 19th century German immigration was largely motivated by wage disparity.

So we should be kind to Wet Back criminals.It's perception. Why open ourselves to being called racist if we can be more persuasive making a different argument?

And yet the GOP will pass it, because otherwise they are going to lose funding from businesses. Much cheaper than higher citizens.

I’ve about decided that the Republican rank-and-file are just as uninformed as their Democrat cousins.

I hate to say it..but I'm gonna question the 1st three words......
“Most Americans believe”....
“MOST” somehow refers to a majority...If we honestly look at the last election...”We” know better...

The pro-amnesty New York Times gleefully reported on Oct. 26 the front-page news that big-business leaders and Republican big donors are gearing up for a "lobbying blitz," backed up by money threats, to get Congress to pass amnesty. Big business wants amnesty in order to get more cheap labor and keep wages forever low, and that is a gross betrayal of the legal immigrants who hope to rise into the middle class and achieve the American dream.
The big donors poured $400,000,000 into the campaigns of losing establishment-backed Republican candidates in 2012. They would rather elect Democrats than conservative, social-issue Tea Party-type grassroots Republicans who don't take orders from the establishment.
I hope somebody is taking names....The best way to disinfect the excrement from these cockroaches is to expose them.

Rep Labrador can be commended for seeing how the Democrats want to use immigration reform as part of the plan to destroy the GOP. He can be applauded for opposing this latest push for ‘comprehensive’ immigration reform.
But Labrador is a supporter of amnesty and a massive increase in (already too high) levels of legal immigration. He is ultimately on the wrong side of this issue.

Why open ourselves to being called racist We will always be called racists and the newly minted Wet Back Voters will never vote for Republicans no matter what we do.
Presuming of course the GOPe doesn't just drink the koolaid and declare themselves members of a new united Progressive party.
