Instead of stating the case against continuation of an absurd immigration policy; you and others on this thread have elected to insult the motives, intelligence & integrity of a popular Senator, In doing so, you have not even bothered to discuss his argument--which I will certainly acknowledge is flawed.

This approach is completely self-defeating. By it, you will turn off people who are not as aware of the case against "liberal" immigration policy, by offending their sense of fairness. You make them far less likely to listen to you, or your thinking, on any issue.

This approach also diverts attention of those who agree with you, from actually making the case against "liberal" immigration, into joining in a PR lynching. (Thus, you are actually "neutering" some of those who agree with you. This is a disastrous tactic.)

Similar folly cost the Republicans the Presidency & Senate in 2012. Here is a link to my own attack on former President Bush on basically the same issue in 2006. Note, that while I attack him on the issue, I address his specific argument, point by point, providing refutation to those who agree with him and ammunition to those who agree with me: Answer To President Bush on Immigration.

What’s to discuss? I consider his argument to be lies, and his true motivations to be hidden over so much fluff.

Amnesty for illegals is going to destroy this country, and I say this as a Hispanic whose family came over from Mexico the right way. The last thing you want is a legion of people who don’t respect American law, who have no skills and no fear of the U.S., gaining citizenship and the right to vote. It’s basically like putting the gun to our collective head and pulling the trigger. Meanwhile, these freaks and fools think that by doing this, they are going to get the illegal alien and hispanic vote, since they don’t actually blame their lack of principles of their loss to Obama, but their inability to out-pander Obama for minority votes.

The whole exercise, therefore, is sick and flawed. It’s a sickness in the brain that these people simply can’t realize that it is their lack of integrity and strength that causes them to lose against the left.

We already tried the panzy approach with Mittens. His fake-tan and his flip flops didn’t win anybody over.
