The Gang of Eight plan

Any immigration plan the Republicans come up with that is enthusiastically accepted by Democrats, and especially the President is a trick. Democrats are not necessarily smarter than Republicans, but they certainly are sneakier, and have a bigger bag of tricks. They have been pulling this scam about how they care about the little guy and the poor for so long, while lynching blacks, passing Jim Crow laws, aborting babies that could live outside the womb, keeping the poor out of their neighborhoods with strict zoning and EPA, and condemning generations to live the welfare plantation, that one could assume we have a very dumb electorate. One of their favorite heroes is FDR who kept the country in a Depression for almost a decade and imprisoned Americans according to their race.

10 important points about S.744, the Senate Immigration Bill

Sara Brenner suggests you keep these 10 points in mind.

1. This bill is amnesty. In 1986 we saw what happened. The 3 million illegals were given amnesty with a promise that the borders would be secured later. The borders never were secured, and we now have at least 11 million illegal immigrants. . .

2. Democrats want this for politics. Senator Chuck Schumer said that if there is not citizenship (i.e., voting rights), there cannot be reform. Why not? Why must the illegals be given citizenship, and is that even what they want? . . .If they wanted citizenship, they know how to come through the front door.

3. Latinos will not support the Republican Party if the Senate immigration bill is passed. Senator Ted Cruz today explained a poll recently taken in Texas. Among voting Latinos, 68% support more border security — they want to make sure that legal immigration (the immigration they had to go through if they’re voting) is what is furthered in this country. In addition, Cruz explained that 46% of Latino voters in Texas supported a work permit without citizenship and only 35% supported a pathway to citizenship. Over 40% of Latinos in Texas voted for Ted Cruz in the Texas Senate race, the race in which he was very clear that he did not support amnesty. Rather, he supports legal immigration.

4. Republicans will not win by passing the Senate immigration bill. In fact, if the Republicans would take a firm, predictable stance on immigration, Latinos who are citizens would likely be supportive, according to the above poll numbers and Cruz’s own race. What the illegals think is irrelevant — they aren’t citizens, and they aren’t voting (yet).

5. The House does not have to bring this bill to the floor. Congressman Trey Gowdy is working on his own immigration bill. According to his official web site, the “Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement Act, the SAFE Act, introduced by Immigration Subcommittee Chair Trey Gowdy (R-SC) … improves interior enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws.” Let’s see the House pass their own immigration reform bill and send it to the Senate.

6. This bill will not stop illegal immigration. The new CBO scoring  that was released Tuesday says that the Senate immigration bill will decrease illegal immigration by only 25%. Since we’re all math whizzes, that means illegal immigration levels will remain at 75% of what they are today.

7. The Senate immigration bill will lead to 46 million new citizens and immigrants — possibly more. Where are all of these people going to find jobs (see bullet point #9 below)? These are all low-skilled workers, who are going to take the jobs that our high school students and college students can and should be taking (or anyone else for that matter). . .

8. The “Gang of 8″ Senate immigration bill allows the 11 million here illegally to be immediately eligible for state welfare. The CBO estimate that says that this will reduce the deficit is based only on federal dollars, not state and local. . .

9. This bill makes the normalized illegal immigrants less expensive to hire. They all receive waivers from ObamaCare, so the employers will have an incentive to not hire Americans in favor of those who are here illegally because it will be a huge cost savings — at least $2,000 per year for the ObamaCare fines — to the employer. . .

10. Republicans supporting this bill will go nowhere. That includes Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul. If either of them are nominated in 2016, you will likely see more conservatives stay home from the polls yet again, rather than going to support another squishy Republican . . .
