Immigration reform would cut deficit, analysis shows

Maybe. More likely, it is “garbage in - garbage out.”
The CBO has been given numbers that assume that the illegals will automatically accept taxation of what they have been getting paid under the table and will pay back taxes on what they have earned.
We know how likely that really is.

“Hmmm do they really need a CBO ?”

Seems outdated, no one in Washington is interested.

Agree 100%! It drives me crazy when I hear people talk about the additional revenue in taxes these new citizens will be pumping into the coffers. Hell, 95% will be low wage earners who will not pay taxes but will get more back than they paid in through this earned income credit aka wealth distribution scheme the government has waiting for them. Not to mention the food stamps, welfare, etc their anchor babies will qualify for. What a total crock!

Yeah, sign up Central and South America for Obamacare—think how much we’d save. You just can’t make this stuff upp.

If anyone believes that I proffer for sale, at par value, shares in a stock company engaged in the construction of a suspension bridge linking the cities of Brooklyn and New York.

the legislation would increase federal spending in the form of benefits for those gaining legal status, but those expenses would be more than offset by a rise in the labor force, increasing revenues.

Total nonsense.

Will they swear to it, and forfeit all they own if they're wrong? That's what I want all those who are for this immigration reform to do.

I, for one, am for immigration reform. … That being said, I’m worried that the bill before us won’t pass.... [Rand Paul: I hate to say it, but the immigration bill is a little bit like ObamaCare right now ]
[Paul open to voting for Senate immigration bill]
[Rand Paul: I'm Open to Voting for Immigration Bill]
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers... [Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance]
One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]
