As good as it gets. You gotta wonder just how close we are in other areas of the country to libs backing down just by being challenged. Probably a bigger deal than we know.Congrats again.
Your schools need to turn them over to ice after they have had medical exams. Also your local govt. needs to sue the regime for costs assoc. with dealing with these illegals. Send dc a bill. If enough cites states do it they will get the message.Fight back with dc or get rolled.
It seems to me that one of the benefits of having ILLEGAL aliens in the country, at least for the Chamber of Commerce/Chicken Processor types would be that they can pay them much lower wages than normal AND they work like the dickens because they don’t want to make waves and get turned in to Immigraciones.
Not to be racist, but this difference is most profound between Mexican workers and Puerto Ricans (PR). Mexicans are far, far better and harder workers the PR’s. Why? Well, PRs are legal and can easily get benefits anywhere in the USA. Mexicans, while they can do this (and you’d be surprised that so many do and can get away with it) always have to worry about being turned in and deported.
I really don’t thing the Chamber/Chicken Processor types want the illegals made legal, but rather just over here to further exploit. By giving them amnesty you would give them power and the Chamber types lose money. I can’t see them in favor of this.
They do, however, want more low wage workers. They absolutely do not want them to become Americans, as Americans have the gall to expect higher wages or won’t work and go on welfare.

Wallace seems to have stacked the panel with pro-illegals commentators.
The Heritage guy (Michael Needham) is getting hit by all 3 of the others.
Wallace repeats again that Romney lost the Hispanic vote by 44%.
And once again the Republicans are left to play defense ... errrr, uhhhh, ohhhh.
He had the dough had the push/name recog. from all the right people he had just enough of all the key essentials to run and wound up getting the GOP nod.
We should start now to see to it that it does not happen again or we will get Jeb for sure.
First thing for us to recognize is that we are part of the coveted .1 of 1% who are politically astute. The rest of the country is not even close. They don't even know who the VP is or much less care!
Once we realize that it should change how we think.
The borders should have been secured, but that is what happens when you have amnesty first rather than enforcement. And even securing the borders only prevents about 60% of the illegal aliens entering this country. The other 40% came here legally and then overstayed their visas. We need internal enforcement as well as shutting off the job magnet.
The big problem with immigration, folks, is that the gubmint did NOT close the borders like they were supposed to do when Reagan granted five million illegals amnesty.
The government estimated one million would apply, but the true number turned out to be 2.7 million. There was a surge of illegal immigration after the law was signed. Even though you had to be in the country for at least 5 years to apply, the process was rife with fraud with phony document mills being set up within blocks of the processing centers. Ed Meese calls the "one-time" amnesty the biggest mistake of Reagan's presidency.
Agree with you on Rubio. He jumped the shark.
You’re right, exactly, AB.
Not sure about Puerto Ricans but we got Mexicans here in Delaware that do all the landscaping. They wear long sleeves on the hottest of days and never sweat. I hired a company, American owned, but the workers were all illegals, I’m sure. But I was nice to them, continually offering them water, which they eventally accepted, dear Lord they worked all day without any water!
The Hondurans and Ecuadorans work for the chicken industry and no, most Americans won’t be running around catching chickens (there really is a job called “chicken catcher”) for minimum wage. As a joke I asked around and most folks said sure, they’d do it....but for no less than $25 an hour.
Same as for working the processing plants where they are up to elbows in blood and guts.
So to keep the Hondurans and Ecuadorans from being deported, here in Delaware but in other parts of the country, this grand scheme was hatched...FOR THE MONEY!!!! The scheme brings in these kids. Here in Delaware they brought them in in dead of night and already they are at their homes.
so the chicken factory workers, as was the plan, CANNOT BE DEPORTED!
Why? They have children to care for. Some of the children are theirs and some are relatives.
It’s part of a plan hatched a couple of years ago and once the Obama admin got the money, boom....they are brought in.
THAT’s the story behind the story and I don’t believe for one single minute not a single solitary Republican knew nothing about it.
Even now the pubs shuffle and waffle and talk around the subject. They too are glad Obama did this, their campaign coffers will be filled.
This is a political Elite problem and America might be slow on the uptake but we’re learning.
Let that Ebola virus get loose and the country will implode.
Kim Strossel was horrible. The best thing the GOP could do was not write a bill and the next best was to write one that stressed enforcement which they did. She obviously hates Cruz and is part of the GOPe who wants amnesty.
"Somebody needs to say, 'Why has daddy not been able to get a job?' " Sessions said in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times where he streamed figures, assertions and unwavering conviction. After nearly 40 minutes standing outside the Senate chamber, he started to walk away then turned back for more, comparing the more than 1,000-page bill to the health care law.
OVER one THOUSAND pages!? Here would be yet another example of "You have to pass it to know what's in it."
Who in their right mind expects a group of generally rich, lazy, almost senile old farts in the Senate to read and comprehend a 1,000 page bill?
Answer: No one. Well, maybe Jeff. That's why he's against it.
But on principle, no one should be submitting bills that total over a hundred pages, let alone 1,000. There's just no way to gauge the unintended consequences of such legislation.
We are SO SCREWED.
Cousin Michael!
So good to see you!
I been having a real bad couple of weeks so it’s always nice to see family.
And Rubio....glad you agree with my distrust. He tried. The pub base was intrigued with Rubio but he took advantage.
This is a political class war, this immigration thing. The Blue Blood Ruling Class gets money from the Chambers of Commerce but loses votes from the hoi polloi like us.
David Gregory.
On to the Obscurity Highway known as CNN.
And Fox not only stacked the panel, they had Rubio on as the voice of the GOP on immigration. Steve King is on now, but Wallace is trying to control and muzzle King. He is cutting him off.
Both parties have abandoned the American worker.
.............. uhhhh... did you just say President Hillary? Couldn't hear you well.
Lack of political strategy got us here. Impeach zero and your prolong the agony.
Why can't we just go after him on the 20 scandals we already have!! Force him to explain himself on every scandal there is.Keep bringing people up in front of Congress to talk with Gowdy!
When we get the senate we can force him to veto bill after bill after bill. Sooner or later he will be forced to accept some of the blame for his intransigence. Do it enough and we win in 2016 and they lose.
Play stupid politics and things go on as they have.
Remember these commie-clowns have nothing at all to run on!! Yet they keep kicking our ass!! You better stop to think why and if you don't come up with superior political strategy think again.
Unless zero turns white there is no way to legally stop this clown until 2016. We know it and they know it so the smartest guy will come out on to win 2016 I prefer it was us.
