RE :&rdquo
People seem to be catching that “Hey! Let’s Give The Illegals Amnesty!” flu lately...
What part of “Get In Line And Come Here LEGALLY” don’t they understand?
Any R that falls for this line of BS needs to be “Cantored”. Rand is definitely acting like he will run for POTUS.
This is part of his ‘The GOP cant win the WH unless they...’ theme.
It will be interesting to see how it flies in the 2016 primary, if he actually takes it that far.
The biggest problem I see with immigration reform is that the GOP cant support a bill designed to pander to Hispanics and be consistent with the principles that they espouse, because those two will always conflict.
So they lie about the bill they support instead as the GWB people did, then Rubio did.
Similar with Chamber Commerce issues.
Let's understand this brilliant strategy for Republican prospects. Amnesty and a path to citizenship for however many illegal aliens there are. So within a few years, counting offspring, we will have at least 20 million voters who will vote Democrat 7-1 or more. Going back to the mid-19th Century, immigrants (British, Dutch, and German Protestants excepted) have voted predominantly Democrat. Even Asian ethnic groups who have above average incomes and education vote Democrat, though by a 2-1 or 3-1, vs, the 7-1 margin for Latin Americans. The result of amnesty: Florida, Ohio, and maybe Indiana go blue; Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and maybe Oklahoma go purple. A Democrat ascendancy is assured for at least several generations. If they were capable, Saul Alinsky, the Fabian Socialists, and the Frankfurt School professors would be smiling at the results of their century-old “long march†through American institutions.
Whether GOP-e like Boehner or Cantor or libertarian like Rand Paul, amnesty is the high road to assuring a Democrat, which is to say a socialistic, secular humanist, future.
