“This bill, nobody’s completely happy with this bill, right?”

The first opening line, that always says it all. They typical lead-in when trying to support something that IS BAD AND TOTALLY UNPOPULAR. Kill this thing, before it kills America.

Hewitt: Hour 1 - Hugh returns to the immigration bill with the Manhattan Institute’s Tamar Jacoby, who is one of the more articulate proponents of the immigration bill.
Who is the Manhattan Institute, and why should I care what they think?
Think tank helps Giuliani set his agenda (1998)
Excerpt:
>>>Magnet, 53, was a graduate student at Columbia University during the 1960s protests. "I marched against the Vietnam War, which I don't regret," he recalled. "I helped barricade a building at Columbia, which I do." He noticed his friends getting more and more "paranoid . . . talking about America with three K's." He drifted rightward while teaching Columbia's freshman course on contemporary civilization, immersing himself in Locke, Rousseau, and Hobbes.<
The fix is in, this insane bill is going to pass.

“More recently, Jacoby’s career has been marked by an outspoken advocacy for policies that would liberalize America’s immigration laws-which she believes is an essential policy shift in order to maintain the economic growth of the United States while preventing a brain drain to other nations-specifically, the passage of a broad guest-worker program, which some critics have described as an amnesty proposal.”
Lefty Knuckle-head Alert!
Key Words: “liberalize” “advocate” “brain-drain” “guest worker” “amnesty”
“Tamar Jacoby defends the immigration bill. “
Boy, there is a news flash. She is an OBL from way back. Has been a cheerleader for illegal immigration since day one. She is a regular on the issue in the Wash Post and LA Times if that tells you anything.
Hugh is playing rope a dope with that crazy open borders Tamar Jacoby
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.
If that was an articulate and forceful defense of the bill, it must be even worse than I thought.
“The flaw is that I think that the merit system is just going to reward, or is going to be skewed too heavily toward people with high skills who speak English, when we also need people who work in the fields, and work in restaurants, and work in construction. And we don’t want a situation where the only people who can get permanent visas are Asians from Europe.”
Bizarre. She actually wants more low-skill immigrants and imported poverty into this country. we cant be stuck with “Asians from Europe.” huh?
Apparently all our kids are going to be goofing off at the country club and someone else has to do all the hard work.
Goofy.
Interesting and informative article. Thank you.
This piece of ignorance tells you you're dealing with an ivory tower ninny. Nobody comes to work temporarily. Just ask the Germans about all those temporary Turks who came to fill the labor gap, oh about forty years ago. "Guest workers," they called them. Sound familiar?
Yea, I oppose this amnesty bill as well. I do have the feeling it will pass.
CLEAN YOUR OWN D@MN HOUSE!!!
