Immigration Moves Eyed; House Democrats Ponder an Election-Year Bill (Amnesty)

Well, now that McCain seems to be the inevitable “Republican” candidate,
we might as well get used to the idea that the US Treasury will be
drained by the AMNESTIED illegals when they come forth for their
Social Security Benefits and back-year Earned Income Tax Credits.

So much for LAW-ABIDING folks having a nice retirement...
they are going to be bled dry by paying for freebies for illegals that
“earned income” by being identity thieves.

I think I’ll go buy a few examples of the cheapest dog food...
so I can get used to what my retirement will taste like in a McCain/Obama world.

The Democrats are trying to secure the Hispanic vote for themselves.

They already have the Hispanic vote. Hispanics voted for Carter over Ford (1976), Carter & Mondale over Reagan (1980 & 1984), Dukakis & Clinton over Bush I (1988 & 1992), Clinton over Dole (1996), Gore & Kerry over Bush II (2000 & 2004). And they'll vote for either Obama or Hillary over your idol McCain this year.

Republicans must come out strongly for an even better bill and have it signed by President Bush so that Hispanics can see which party really looks after their best interests.

Any racial group that looks to politicians to "look out for their interests" isn't going to vote Republican.

Any racial group that looks to politicians to "look out for their interests" isn't going to vote Republican.

True for blacks, Jews, and Mexicans. Not true for Cubans and Mormons (not a racial group like the others, but a "cultural" group nonetheless).

The GOP wants to get 35-50% of the Hispanic vote. They have long given up on the blacks (who gave 90% of their vote to Kerry and Gore).

Good points. But I think we've hit a high water mark for the Hispanic vote in the GOP. When we see Republicans occasionally getting 35% or 40% of the Hispanic vote, we must remember that that includes those Hispanics who are largely white: Cubans, and some Hispanics in the Southwest whose ancestry in America goes back several generations. They're as prone to vote Republican as Anglo whites, perhaps even more so in the case of the Cubans.

But those aren't the people sneaking across the border into our nation. The white populations in Latin American nations are the upper classes and they have no reason to leave their native land. They might vote Republican if they were here, but they aren't. They're in Venezuela, for example, voting against Chavez. The people sneaking into our nation are largely Mestizos, people of aboriginal ancestry who are the type of voters who elect people like Chavez, Ortega, and Mexico's leftist parties.

In addition, white Hispanics don't have half a dozen kids. They have the same low birth rate as whites of English or Dutch or German ancestry, from what I can tell.

In other words, it may be possible for the current Latino population of the U.S. to vote 40% Republican, but once we start down the road of amnesty, we'll be flooding the polls with millions and millions of new Hispanic voters who will almost all be non-white Mestizos who will vote probably no more than 20% Republican, and their millions of children will turn voting age in a few election cycles and vote Democrat as well.

Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.), chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, is a DAMN LIER. He is quoted as stating: "There is no path towards citizenship," Baca said. "There are still fines and criminal background checks and you have to pay back taxes. This is what the taxpayers want."

This is a five year visa. Well take a little look at what happens at the five year mark.

Eligibility for U.S. Citizenship
"Be a permanent resident for not less than five years. (If a person obtained permanent residence through marriage to a U.S. citizen, they may be eligible for naturalization in three years if the couple has been married for 3 years, if the spouse was a citizen during that entire period, and if the couple are still living in marital unity);

So anytime you hear the traitors pushing "immigration reform" and it has five years in it that is AMNESTY. http://www.expertlaw.com/library/immigration/naturalization.html

And just when you thought that getting their azz handed to them five times in a row on amnesty would be enough for even the dumbest democrat to get a clue here comes one that takes the cake...

Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.),
Democratic leaders could conceivably face a discharge petition on the issue, although any enforcement-only measure would be sure to invite a revolt by Hispanics.

Baca said the legislation under consideration could have some enforcement measures, adding that too much could bog it down.

Some enforcement MIGHT be ok with the mexicans? Ok, let's only have one enforcement GET OUT.
