I wish Rush would get some conservative celebrities together and just start a new party, frankly. The GOP is moribund.
I think Blackwell’s plan is totally reasonable.
Impact of Amnesty: In analyzing the 2007 CIR bill, Robert Rector of The Heritage Foundation stated, The main fiscal impact will occur through two mechanisms: (1) the grant of amnesty, with accompanying access to Social Security, Medicare and welfare benefits, to 12 million illegal immigrants who are overwhelmingly low skilled; and (2) a dramatic increase in chain immigration, which will also be predominantly low skilled. The bottom line is that high school dropouts are extremely expensive to U.S. taxpayers.
It does not matter whether the dropout comes from Ohio, Tennessee, or Mexico. It does matter that the Senate immigration bill would increase the future flow of poorly educated immigrants into the U.S. and grant amnesty and access to government benefits to millions of poorly educated illegal aliens already here. Such legislation would inevitably impose huge costs on U.S. taxpayers.
Heritage research concluded that the cost of amnesty alone would be $2.6 trillion. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen. Amnesty is forever.
I've noticed that "McLoser threads" are distinctly inbred and vomited forth primarily to feed the neurotic fetishes of the "usual suspects".
This is a conservative website, not a sanctuary for mindless, brain dead, liberal, maverick McCaniac RINO drones.
Quit wigglin’ your little weenie at him, get off your butt and go find a candidate who can beat him in the primary.
Why should he when he's got plenty of ignorant lemmings to defend and vote for him./s
He must be defeated.
He's not leaving voluntarily.
I’d agree except it worked for McCain :-)
What do you mean, Rush was in on it?
Not that well. McCain is still in the Senate, not in the WH.
1. The viciousness with which Rush ripped into Steele on air, very uncharacteristic of Rush, who is very polite by nature. It was unnatural and “canned”.
2. Steele, called Rush AT HOME and at night to “apologize”, meaning it's likely he had one of Rush's “secret”, private numbers all along. Would Rush have given such a number to someone he only knew as as “Mr. Steele” (as he referred to him on his show just hours before)?
Rush is a really smart guy and he's all about winning. He knew how dangerous it would be to have the public see him as the “leader” of the GOP, per the Emanuel/Soros strategy.
Hm. Thanks. Guess I’m pretty trusting of what’s on the surface, huh?
Blah, blah, blah...
Steele wouldn’t have a rat’s chance. I’ll just pray God tells HIM he’s NOT supposed to run and hope he listens to the same god.
Is that mean spirited? Hope so.
