That's not a polite and diplomatic way to state it, but it is absolutely true.

There is nothing Xenophobic about the immigration views of Rep. Steve King or Sen. Jeff Sessions.

In fact, most of what they advocate is already policy in countries like Canada, Australia and New Zealand, all countries with far more open space than ours.

Then there is Japan-- no set limit on H1B visa equivalents, just a requirement that the foreign worker be paid a minimum 10% premium over the going industry wage. I was such a worker for 14 years and rather than feeling resentment to my host country for "exploiting" me, I feel gratitude for the opportunities they offered.

Said policy also had the effect of raising the wage scale for the entire industry and attracting more Japanese into the field.

Had I stayed long enough to become a voting citizen, I sure wouldn't have voted for the politicians who advocated (a)giving more free stuff away to bring in more immigrants and (b)undermining the mainstream culture which gave me 14 years of opportunity.

House Republicans are facing heavy pressure from both sides of the immigration debate

In liberal media speak that means that 500 people showed up at a town hall opposed to amnesty for illegals and a 5 paid astro-turfers from Organizing for America or some other democrat front group showed up to support amnesty.

"Thank God for the union, eh?"

Yup, they love their liberals until it comes back to bite them in the arse, including Obamacare which they want an exemption. What a bunch of self-serving greedy bunch union people are. I have a relative through marriage who managed to get in the Dock Workers? union some decades ago. She started off at an unbelievable hourly rate. That is one of the reasons why I realized my cost of goods was sky-rocketing while trying to feed my family on Navy pay.

No wonder their membership is declining and most non-union see them with disdain. There is no reason for them in this age. Furthermore, I see NO reason that government unions even exist! Their obscene pensions are killing many cities, counties, and states. Witness the bankruptcies occurring and more are to come.

One of the best things President Reagan did was to fire the air-traffic controllers due to their union strike.

Those in safe districts like Boehner know they can vote as their poo-bahs tell them and still survive.

To: Jim Robinson; All

Here are some talking points to bring up at your next Town Hall Meeting, phone call, letter, or e-mail to any Incumbent Congressman and woman:

1.) If we stop donating to the RINOs, then we just MIGHT have a chance that they will actually change their anti-Conservative words and actions in OUR Republican Party.

Remember, in politics, “Lack of Money speaks louder than words.”

2.) If teeth are lacking in the US Constitution for swift and effective punishment of Constitution violators, then it really is time to SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

3.) What more will it take for Articles of Impeachment to be issued for B. Hussein Obama?

4.) When can we expect to read that you have resigned from Congress?

I’m getting sick of the Republican party more often now.
I have maybe 3% confidence in them.
