Grover Norquist to Newsmax: Immigration Reform ‘Completely Doable’ (completely barfable)

Newsmax ^ | Wednesday, 17 Jul 2013 05:26 PM | Todd Beamon and John Bachman

[Olog-hai]

Republicans are moving comprehensive immigration reform forward on Capitol Hill because “we understand it’s solid for the economy,” conservative activist Grover Norquist declares in an exclusive Newsmax TV interview.

“Immigration is America’s number one economic asset,” Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, tells Newsmax. “The rest of the world can’t do that. We can have every smart person we want; every high-skilled person we want. A lot of young people just starting out unskilled—as all Americans do when they’re born here—come to this country, and so the business community is for immigration. Big businesses, small businesses, high-tech, low-tech, the communities of faith, and the Republican leadership. The future of the Republican Party—all the different folks looking to lead the Republican Party at the national level in the future—recognize we should do immigration reform.” …

  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 ]

  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]

"We can have every smart person we want; every high-skilled person we want."

But we don't. And we won't.

Immigration from Mexico is 2.5 times that of Europe.

Immigration from one country, Mexico, is 2.5 times that of many countries combined.

I've taken the figures from the above table at cis.org and graphed them. Note the sharp increase in immigration from Mexico and how that differs from all other regions' increase. Note also the sharp decline in immigration from Europe while all other regions have increased.

Our immigration policy must serve our needs, our ability to absorb, and immigrants' ability to assimilate. Creating large sub-societies serves no good purpose.

Our security can not be conditioned upon the demands of unassimilated immigrants or illegally present foreigners.

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.

Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.

Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.

Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.

Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3036438/posts

call congress . no bill at all from the House

and of course boner must not bring the Senate bill for the House to vote on. no senate bill, no border security bill from the House .nothing

The Recess can’t come soon enough. when is it?

[Democrat_media]

Anyone that is for Amnesty is for a communist Coup of the United States.

Do you Ryan and other congressional morons who vote for this Amnesty bill realize that 30 million amnestied illegals and their family back home (50 million more) will vote in democrats/socialism to turn the USA into a socialist/communist state?

Hey morons, immigrants , democrats and anyone for this Amnesty bill: communism is no fun and results in extreme poverty for 99% of the population and people are virtual slaves in a dictatorship. think N. Korea or Cuba . that is what you immigrants are doing to America.

what happened to Venezuela will happen 100 times worse here. it’s because democrats are hard core communists, all of them are(pelosi, Reid,Obama et al). they are importing untold millions of democrat voters that will allow them to rule with an iron fist. so 3rd world scum that invade the U.S.A looking to make more money will enable the democrats to turn the USA into a WORSE place than they left.

Rubio, Ryan ,Democrats, Bush? do you realize that? I know democrats want that as that is their goal to advance progressive policies and install a socialist/communist state.

do you Bush, democrats,Ryan , rubio realize that you are for communism?

Anyone that is for Amnesty is for a communist Coup of the United States

Ran out of barf bags so I no longer read the articles.

Grover:
GFY. You and the rest of the College Republicans.

You guys are all wide stance poofters who, long ago, drifted away from core republicans values, selling out to your social and financial avarice’s...

[umgud]

Sorry Grover, I can’t buy that overwhelming ourselves with third world imigrants improves our economy.

[Kickass Conservative]

What’s this guys nickname, “rollover Grover”?

[TADSLOS]

If ever there were a modern day agent provocateur deserving of the hangman’s noose, Grover Norquist would surely qualify.

[Lancey Howard]

Whew... Thank heaven that p.o.s. Norquist isn’t taken seriously anymore.

[Prospero]

We can't get rid of Norquist, but we can't allow an opportunity pass without commenting on his true agenda, for those who may still be impressed with his Conservative credentials.

He is absolutely sold out to Nazi Islam. He and his friends have hijacked CPAC and its conference, censoring Sarah Palin, Robert Spencer, etc.

His preference for Islam makes him an anti-Christian, if not explicitly, certainly in effect.

And letting people know this and then allowing them to make up their own minds is definitely something we can do.

According to the 2012 California Census, there are 10 million Mexicans in that state alone, so the chart must be of legal immigrants only: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/06037.html

Oh hell,use your imagination.

"Grover Norquist to Newsmax: Immigration Reform ‘Completely Doable’"

Sure. If you're a traitor.

[stilloftyhenight]

He wants to bring in more of his Muslim bretheren.

[workerbee]

It seems fair to say, that in "times past", immigration was always about what we (the U.S.) needed. Now, it's all about what they (mainly unskilled Mexicans) want.
