Wow. An alledged FReeper using the language and imagery of the left. I guess you are conjuring up the Holocaust with the illegal aliens being the Jews and the Southern border being the concentration camps.
The proponents of amnesty are wont to create the false choice between a blanket amnesty and mass deportation of 12 to 20 million illegal aliens. In reality, we have other choices and alternatives that dont reward people who have broken our laws with the right to stay and work here and an eventual path to citizenship. The 12 to 20 million illegal aliens did not enter this country overnight and they will not leave overnight. Attrition through enforcement works. We have empirical data from Georgia, Oklahoma, and Arizona proving that it does.
The Reality is that the only two Republican Candidates that have any sort of Rational View on handling the Illegal Invader issue are Cruz and Trump.
Do you want to be more specific on how they differ from the others? They both support amnesty, i.e., the legalization of the lawbreakers, which will cost $6.3 trillion if there are only 12 million of them. And they will be able to sponsor tens of millions more of their relatives thru family reunification. When you reward something, you get more of it.
We have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. We have a massive surplus of labor with 93 million Americans of working age not in the labor force. We continue to bring in 1.1 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS a year (more than the rest of the world combined) and 640,000 guest workers annually. Over 30 million legal permanent immigrants have entered this country since 1990. Cruz wants to quadruple the number of guest workers. Neither Trump nor Cruz talks about reducing legal immigration and they want to legalize 12 to 30 million lawbreakers to compete legally with the native born for jobs and depress wages further. 50% of the illegals lack even a high school degree. Immigrants, legal and illegal, use the welfare system to a greater degree than the native born. We are importing poverty and future Dem voters along with changing our demography.
Did you know that the Socialist Bernie Sanders supports closing the Borders? He agrees with us on this issue more than 75% of the Republican Candidates. Isnt that a hoot?
Sanders understands that by continuing to flood the market with cheap labor hurts many Dem constituencies, especially the most loyal and lock-step one, blacks. I have predicted that the Dems, once they get their permanent majority status, will seize the immigration issue by calling for reduced legal immigration. THe GOP, the Stupid Party, will be seen as the one hurting American workers and siding with the corporate elites.
The problem could be solved overnight if everyone had the same view as we do, but they dont. We call that Reality.
Unless you reduce legal immigration, the country is finished along with conservatism. Demography is destiny.
No Congressional GOP Leaders Will Support Reducing Immigration
As U.S. census data projects that immigration will soon exceed all documented historical records, not one Republican leader in Congress supports the popular step of reducing immigration.
Thanks for all that, but I am not a proponent of Amnesty, I am a Realist. Accusing me of using the language and imagery of the Left, that’s rich.
Yep, I’m just another alleged FReeper. LOL
You act as if the Voting Public is as engaged as we are.
That is a fatal mistake when it comes to an Electorate who spend their days living off Sound Bites from a Liberal Media in between Commercials promising them Free Government Benefits and Free Money for being the Victims of Rear Enders.
Those wonderful Graphs mean nothing to 90% of the Electorate.
I think Cruz and Trump are way ahead of their Competition on this issue and you don’t. Are they saying everything that the average FReeper wants to hear, probably not.
Again, I appreciate your compiling all that information into one Post, but it doesn’t mean squat to most People who will be deciding the Republican Nominee.
In case you haven’t noticed, we here at FR are living in our own little Bubble. Even us “alleged” FReepers.
Now the obvious question, who is your Candidate?
