RINO swine.

[ncalburt]

Allahpundit is a Rhino amnesty promoter along with the other
Lib Repub bloggers at that site.
It’s a disaster there since Malkin sold it !

[GeronL]

Again, I am not surprised.

The GOPe will cave on every major issue and when 2014 comes around they will demand your vote and if you say NO, they will say you must want Democrats to win.

lolz

[ClearCase_guy]

The Republican Party will never rise again.

[Bigtigermike]

Yes, I agree!!! Hotair use to be a fine place for conservatism but its been relegated to nothing more than a mouth piece for the Republican Establishment line thanks to Allahpundit

stronger security to curb illegal immigration

If we believe that, we get the Brooklyn Bridge for free and the Golden Gate bridge thrown in as a bonus.

The FED will curb illegal immigration. Sure they will. Like they did after the last 2 major amnesties. So, if they did what they promised, why did we even need a 2nd amnesty and why do we need another one now? Could it be that the FED lied?????

When they institute efforts to actually STOP it, then it might be worth considering. Until then, it is just more of the same bait-and-switch.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Yep. We’ve already granted enough amnesty.

They owe us twice on the border-protection part of the deal.

Giving them another amnesty is like giving the Dhimmis another tax increase with the promise to cut spending later.

[freekitty]

Exactly

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

So let me get this straight, Ryan was the last great hope to get the US economy straightened out by balancing budgets, cutting spending, and all that?

But now he supports legalizing those 20 million or so who are here destroying our economy by draining our social services, working under the table, not paying taxes, and cheating heartily on all manners of tax refunds they do not deserve? Does Ryan really believe if they are granted legal status that they will be so grateful that they will suddenly turn from plundering to playing a fair game?

How does that math add up, Paul?

[nickcarraway]

The funny thing is that the birth rate in Mexico plummeting below Mexico, immigration probably won’t be a big issue in the future. How long is it before the majority of immigration is U.S. to Mexico.

[Aetius]

It’s no surprise at all that Ryan will prove to be a liberal on immigration. What reason was there ever to believe he’d be anything but worthless on the issue?

Ryan apparently has a libertarian streak, so he’s probably delusional about the appeal of small government and the free market to immigrant communities.

[samadams2000]

Uhm Paul..Could you please save the union before you sell us out by legalizing 30 million illegals?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

The GOP is dead to me. You should have heard my mom the other day when the called her for money. It was a sight to behold. The guy on the phone started arguing with her. DON’T EVER try to ‘out stubborn’ my mom. LOL!

It breaks her heart because she was such an activist for the GOP throughout her entire life (she used to drag me along to all of the for. We’re talking fighting Dixicrats, here in the South. I should write a novel. She has signed letters from many Republican presidents that are framed on her wall. Not to mention....she has painted many portraits of them as well.

Seriously, tho, it is heartbreaking to see my mom all these years, working hard, and the GOP being transformed into the DNCRNC and NOT standing for ANYTHING. I hate to see her disappointed for all of the hard work she put in and to convert many people away from the racist Dixicrats.

Get ready to be sold out on Illegal Alien Amnesty

Ryan is just as Amnesty Liberal as Rubio

The GOP is setting up for losses in 2014 and 2016. Dumping 65% of the overall vote for 10% of the overall vote is a loser

[TomGuy]

How long is it before the majority of immigration is U.S. to Mexico.

A significant amount is already taking place.

Mexico ended 2012 with an unemployment rate right at 5%.

[Oldexpat]

Just send your Congress critter and email and tell them that a vote for amnesty will eliminate my vote for you. I’ll vote for none of the above before you.

[oldbill]

Well, it looks like a lot os us will be staying home again in 2014 and 2016.

The GOP is now dead. The corpse is still twitching, but it’s all over. Those faux conservatives like Rubio and Ryan are showing that they are unprincipled politicians putting themselves ahead of their country.

We should just call their bluff on the immigration question. Submit a bill that would give immediate amnesty and citizenship to exactly 11 million illegal aliens.

But not a single one more. Just 11 million. And those 11 million will not be allowed to bring in a single relative - none. No chain migration.

Then mandate that at every job these once illegals work, they must be paid the existing union wage for that trade. Not $10/hour, but $23/hour plus benefits.

That will expose the hypocrisy of these amnesty loving politicians. If they are really concerned about just the 11 million, they would accept it. But they won’t.

[entropy12]

Does it make a difference whether they are legal or illegal?

>> Illegals are working in jobs NOW

>> Illegals are voting illegally NOW

>> Illegals are getting food stamps NOW

>> Illegals are receiving free emergency hospital care NOW

>> Illegals are receiving pre-natal maternity benefits NOW

>> Illegals work for cash and pay no taxes NOW

>> Illegals are getting drivers licenses NOW in some states

Worst part is illegals do not need to register, so we have no idea who is here and where.

May be making available a legal permit to work, the system can collect taxes and get a handle on who is here and whether to eventually give them permanent status or deport them.

[svcw]

Our immigration policy is cumbersome and arbitrary........
what I do not understand is Republicans caving on the notion that anyone who comes here after a time should be a citizen, no matter how they get here. I have friends who have PhDs in engineering that took ten years to get legal status (they are white) and I really wish that did not matter.
Everyone is welcome but come LEGALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
