Politicians don’t care what the bill will cost taxpayers; only what the bill will cost politicians.

They get it. Without economic freedom, there is no liberty.

The problem is not immigration per se, but rather socialism in the first place.

The ironic thing is, if we had a free booming economy, not the strangled anemic situation we have now, the Mexicans would be welcome indeed, and the prosperity would spill over into Mexico to boot.

Critics say it doesn't measure economic boosts from the bill.

Seriously? We can't boost the economy with the Americans and the illegals we already have in place.

That’s on top of the real costs: The Rule of Law. Sovereignty. Security. Independence. Electoral integrity. And other important things that can’t be measured by mere money.

Oh, it’s from Ass. Press, so it must be fair and balanced. As evidenced by the first sentence.

Already, the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute has decried it as “fatally flawed.”

My biggest issue with the “CATO” crowd is that they don’t get the idea that Free trade can ONLY work if it is between two countries of simular economic and cultural development levels.

It is like saying an average 2nd grader can help out a college student with calculus and the college student will help the 2nd grader with their addition and subtraction.

Only the 2nd grader will see the benfit and the college student will be wasting their time and their grades will most certainly suffer...

“...only what the bill will cost politicians....”

In a better time, with better people, it SHOULD cost them their f***ing jobs and make them ineligible to ever hold office again.
