Most Americans believe that the United States of America is an exceptional country. The "borders test" proves that people are coming to America, not fleeing from America to exit to other countries.
Republicans and conservatives recognize that the principal reason for our unique abundance is our constitutional restraints on the power of government, separation of powers, balanced budgets, and a minimum of government supervision and interference in our daily lives. America offers a remarkable opportunity for foreigners; no matter what socioeconomic rank they were assigned in their native country.
Most of the millions of immigrants we have welcomed came from countries where the only government they knew was one that made all decisions about economic and social policy. The current level of legal immigration to America adds thousands of people every day whose views and experience are contrary to the conservative value of limited government.
The influx of these new voters will reduce or eliminate Republicans' ability to offer an alternative to big government, increased government spending, and favorite liberal policies such as Obamacare and gun control. New voters will lean on our hard-pressed health care system and overcrowded public schools to demand more government services.
Amnesty advocates point to the assimilation of large numbers of immigrants in the early years of the 20th century. But that was followed by a national pause and slowdown of immigration from the 1920s to the 1960s, which allowed newcomers to assimilate, learn our language, and adapt to our system of government.
Under current law, 1.1 million new legal immigrants come in every year. The Congressional Budget Office projections indicate that amnesty, plus its scheduled increases in legal immigration, will add an additional 4.6 million new voters by 2014.

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. Ok, I guess.
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.
“Most Americans believe”....
“MOST” somehow refers to a majority...If we honestly look at the last election...”We” know better...
It is time to plan the PRIMARY-OUT Campaign for stupid, stupid Issa.
The Republican Party is already a suicide. <<
Yup...By paper cuts as opposed to a knife...but bleed out they will!
Lets keep voting for ‘em...Want to?...The time line is the same....we just have to make more self-inflicted cuts!.....*S*
BINGO!...In the old days that was one of the Feds real jobs!!!..But now..it's easier to try to kick WWII vets out of their Monument...and they couldnt even do that!...lol...Got to love the irony!!!
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.
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.
