Jeb Bush Suggests Republicans Should Pass Amnesty if They Win Back Senate
Breitbart.com ^ | 09/25/2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 09/26/2014 11:00:37 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Even though Republicans may take back the Senate by running against amnesty, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush pushed amnesty legislation while stumping for North Carolina Republican Senate candidate Thom Tillis on Wednesday.

Bush, according to the New York Times, reportedly said that comprehensive immigration reform "will restore and sustain economic growth for this country." And even though a recent Gallup poll found that illegal immigration is now the top concern among Republicans, Bush said that if immigration reform is "framed in that way, I don’t think there’s a big debate in the Republican Party about the need to do this."

If anyone was wavering on yet another Bush, I hope this clears things up. Sensible people do not approve of rewarding criminals. We should not under any circumstances make it easier for criminals to gain citizenship than it is for legal immigrants to come here and earn citizenship.

I’d rather round up illegals, fingerprint them, DNA swab them, send them home, and permanently bar them from any legal re-entry or path to citizenship. Follow that with very harsh penalties for those who employ illegals, either knowingly or through indifference to proper employment paperwork, and this problem would shrink to a manageable size.

[ If that is done we will be closer to the path Rome took since citizenship will be valueless. ]

Didn’t you hear the Roman Empire will now start allowing Visigoths to become part of the Roman Millitary...

Oh I meant Illegals can now join the US Millitary...

If Amnesty Passes, I swear to god I am going to start a PAC to introduce legislation to legalize bank robbery by private citizens as long as they purchase a 5 dollar permit fromthe federal government....

Seriously that is HOW screwed up the logic behind amnesty is....

Just because I oppose amnesty and the people who support it (mainly the oligarchy, Romney being just one) doesn’t mean I begrudge them their success. I begrudge the fact that they don’t believe in the rule of law.

Yet, their willingness to ignore immigration laws to further their "success" calls into question how legitimate their past "successes" were.

Free market capitalism is capitalism.

Crony capitalism is more akin to communism, wherein a small handful of cronies (like the central party in communism) benefits through corruption, to the detriment of the masses. That is why I call it crony communism; because it is.

And Communism is actually a form of Feudalism, where bloodlines are replaced by party royalty and the Merchant Class ie. Middle Class are the enemies, the poor class is used to keep the party powers in eternal power by playing them off the Middle class...

Be careful! I caught hell on another thread suggesting giving RINO’s the Senate would be a mistake.

This doesn’t help!

I say No. No No.

Pro-amnesty American citizens must think that the rest of us 300,000,000 Americans are blind and stupid.

Pro-amnesty people demand that President Obama give work visas to at least 8,000,000+ illegals.

But pro-amnesty traitors conveniently forget to mention that many of these 8,000,000 illegals who will get work visas have husbands/wives and children.

24,000,000 illegals get amnesty: Pro-amnesty people are not really talking about 8,000,000 illegals, because they secretly know in their hearts that they are really talking about more like 24,000,000 illegals----3 times 8,000,000 illegals--- who will eventually get AMNESTY when President Obama takes his pen and quickly signs his executive order in a few weeks.

how did I arrive at the number of 24,000,000 illegals? I did it this way: I multiplied 8,000,000 illegals by 3.

1. Obviously, illegal immigrant men need their wives and children to keep them company. and many of them are already here.

2. And illegal immigrant women need their husbands to help them with the children.

3. Also, these illegal immigrants with their new work visas will now have no fear that immigration agents will be coming to their home to check to see how many in the household besides the visa holder are here legally.

4. So once they get their work visas, they can invite any number of relatives to live with them without fear that immigration officials will be coming to their unexpectedly to check the status of the people in the home. As long as visa holders pay their rent on time and their children attend school, we can be sure that no immigration officials will bother them and their families.

My point is this: Work visa holders and their growing families will be here forever. Basically, deportation of these illegals and their families will never happen, if President Obama has his way and goes ahead and signs his executive order soon after the midterm election.

5. You see, you can't very well legalize 8,000,000 illegals by giving them work visas, on the one hand, and then, on the other hand, turn around and deport husbands and wives and children of the work visa holders, persons who may not qualify for work visas for one reason or the other.

6. So I believe that multiplying 8,000,000 illegals by 3 is a good conservative estimate of how many illegals will immediately benefit from President Obama's executive order---an estimate based on a household with two parents, one child.

7.Of course, many households will be single households with no children.

8.But, as we know, many, many households of illegals who will be given work visas will have two or more children, so all those many children will easily make up for those households in my 24,000,000 estimate that have no children.

9. So that is the way I concluded that 24,000,000+ illegals will really get amnesty when traitor President Obama gives away our country with the simple signing of his executive order: 8,000,000 million illegal work visa holders times a conservative estimate of 3 member's in each illegal immigrant household.

10. Again, when President Obama quickly signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections, he will NOT be giving amnesty to just 8,000,000 illegals as the pro-amnesty people want us to believe.

11. Rather, when the smoke clears, anti-amnesty people will wake up one morning and suddenly realize that the pro-amnesty people and President Obama have pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, because President Obama will really give amnesty to 24,000,000 illegals, not 8,000,000 illegals as President Obama will claim when he signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections.

NOTE: 'Because it was the right thing to do." This is Obama's favorite phrase when he wants to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.

It is as if Obama wants us to believe that his decision is divinely inspired, that is, God himself told him what to do. What a bunch of crap.

So be prepared to hear Obama's phrase---"Because it was the right thing to do"---over and over after Obama signs the worst executive order ever.

It is the worst ever because President Obama will lie to us and give amnesty to not 8,000,000 illegals as Obama will lead us to believe when he signs the executive order, but to an unbelievable number of 24,000,000 illegals. Sick. Sick. Sick.

NOTE: If the government can't handle those hundreds of illegals who crossed the Mexican border recently, how in the world is the government going to process the 8,000.000 illegals that President Obama will give amnesty to in a few weeks after the mid-term elections? No way. No way.
