The head of Fox News, Mr. Wall Street, aka billionaire Rupert Murdoch (not an American) is one of the strongest advocates for mass immigration into the U.S. to fundamentally change the dynamics of the U.S. economy.
This approach further solidifies the modern American future as service driven only - a traditional class society, "haves and have-much-less". The middle class evaporates along with the lost jobs and wages.

The general consensus at the time from multiple sources, both left and right, was that Dave Brat’s defeat of Eric Cantor on June 13, 2014 killed the bill in the house.
Here’s a link to a Politico story at the time:
If you google the subject, you’ll find similar assertions made from American Spectator, New Republic, and other news outlets.
According to the Conservative Treehouse article, the House had already whipped the vote on June 11, had enough votes to pass, and were planning on holding a vote later in the week. After Cantor’s defeat the next day, House members who had previously promised their support began to get antsy, and notified Boehner and McCarthy that they would no longer be willing to vote ‘Yes’.
It’s a cold fact. Read and learn or continue to post that nonsense and look a fool.
Assumes facts not in evidence.
The house version was not defeated. It was dropped entirely as a result of Cantors loss.
Yes, you’re right. I misspoke.
There’s “fighting” and there’s reducing impact. Cruz’ s involvement - if you want to be generous- may have reduced impact, had he been the least bit effective. Which he was not.
It was immigration that destroyed Rome.
According to Sessions, Cruz was vital in bringing about a public debate on the bill. He claims that the debate Cruz helped to start influenced conservatives in the House to oppose it. And yet, the bill did pass the Senate in June of 2013 and had a chance of passing in the House up until Dave Brat’s victory a year later. The most you can say about Cruz helping that outcome is if the discussion sparked in 2013 made the bill too toxic to pass in the House immediate after Senate passage. But again, an event like Brat’s was needed to cause it to be permanently shelved.
The immorality destroyed Rome-—the Caligulas and boy orgies-—the degeneracy allowed the invasion-—they were too lazy and busy watching the “dog and pony” shows . The easy road wins every time when there is no virtue embedded in children. Our children are too lazy to “fight”-—they are too emasculated and addicted to the White Noise/distractions like the gladiator games.
Without Virtue, there is no Freedom——civil society collapses. Immoral people are allowing the invasion and Good Men do nothing—they lack Virtue and won’t protect their women and children or their future. Families are broken and children are emotionally crippled which makes them addicts and the cycle gets worse with every generation-—to total depravity....over 50% of boys are addicted to porn-—they are worthless.
You’re right. And the parallels unfortunately exist today.
No, it was Ted Cruz and his five amendments that helped kill the gang of eight bill,,, and that’s one of the biggest reasons the GOPe hates him.
Save
He has said that he would secure the border. Good.
He has put forth a "temporary" stop to muslim refugees. Good, but it needs to be permanent.
He has said that he would send all illegal home then let the "good" ones back in in an expedited fashion. Bad. Not solving the problem.
I’m sending out an atta boy to the early morning posters on this thread.
Can I get an “Amen”?

It looks like the open borders thing is not the end of what our “betters” have in mind. Talking with a Euro friend, it appears that there will also be a major effort to abolish incarceration. I think what we’ve got here is a full-on effort to reproduce the Dark Ages in the Information Age.
He's an astonishingly successful business man
He's tough. He's had the guts to go where others are afraid to go-and he doesn't back down. He's made Lib's heads explode (and I've enjoyed the heck out of it)
He's an American who loves his country
Dare we take a chance on another foreign born with an obscure past? A guy from a Cuban family born in Canada??
We need a president to put a stop to all the ‘migration’- to build that wall!!
WE ARE 19 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT WITH NO END IN SIGHT.
AMERICANS ARE SUFFERING.
WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FIRST.
I agree. We need a smart, tough steamroller like Donald to clean up the mess that Omuslim and the RINOs have made.
I don’t know much about what Trump would do, but I think a lot of his popularity stems from raising issues that our overlords had decided were settled and beyond debate.
