Chuck Schumer: Democrats Won’t Take Anything But Citizenship for Illegals (Video)
MSNBC on Gateway Pundit ^ | August 12, 2013 | MSNBC

Posted on 08/12/2013 7:43:16 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was on Morning Joe today to discuss amnesty.

The far left New York Senator told the audience there has to be amnesty:

“I think we’re going to get a bill and I think Speaker Boehner and Leader McConnell know it’s the right thing to do… I think the economic Republicans are for this strongly… We’ve always said, and that includes the Gang of Eight, one thing, that bottom line is there has to be some path to citizenship.”

Thank you Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio and Jeff Flake.

Compromise is something for Republicans to try to achieve.

We have a legal path to citizen ship... illegals refuse to follow.

Do any of these people in Congress still represent Americans or is their duty to represent illegal aliens.This seem to be their goal and what they been harping on all year. They make a lot of empty promises.They cannot even enforce the laws on the books right now and more new laws solves nothing. This sounds like 1986 all over again.

Clearly, Boehner's sellout is in place, there will be a path to citizenship, and it will be done by manipulating the House-Senate conference committee which will produce a compromise bill providing for amnesty and it will garner enough Rino votes in the house together with the Democrats to pass.

When this happens it is crunch time for conservatives, we will no longer be able to abide in the temple with the money changers. It will simply be time to leave.

Mark Levine wants amendments passed through states to add term limit of 12 years total for any politician and limit power of SCOTUS by allowing 2/3 of states or congress to override them and balanced budgets.

Probably will never get done but we can dream.

Absolutely, my Parents had no problem following it and they didn’t speak English when they arrived but somehow they learned. Why is it imperative for the demoncrats to void U.S. law for people south of our border?

Democrats would happily accept voting rights for illegals without Citizenship.

When I first started spending time here in Germany 25 years ago I used to be quite smug as an American believing that the Germans had sold out individual liberty for group security. I used to say that they have taken the wrong lessons from World War II and favored the state over the individual in virtually every instance. I liked to point out to my German neighbors the idea that individual liberty was the foundation stone of the American experience.

I do not any longer feel the facts on the ground in American justify me in saying any of these things anymore. I no longer believe the people in Germany are less free than people in America. I no longer believe that America is substantially more free than Germany. I don't think I have changed.

God help us one and all.

I think secession is inevitable eventually. We're on the same path as the USSR.

Americans have no clue that the elites in both the GOP & democratic party are going to dump over 50 million third wolders on us. If this fact was on nationl TV several evenings a week things might change. I say might, cause I’m not sure the public cares.

This is worse than 1986. If an amnesty passes this time, this country will be destroyed with the stroke of a pen. Amnesty is forever.

Consider this:

The Senate Gang of Eight immigration bill would offer a minimum of 33 million lifetime work permits in the first decade alone (11 million to current illegal immigrants, 11 million to new legal immigrants in a continuation of the current system, another 5 million chain migration relatives of immigrants who have applied but are waiting for their slot in other countries and 6 million new immigrants through new categories and expanded existing categories of immigration). The 33 million in a single decade is almost half of all immigrants who have ever entered the U.S. in its history.

Rush was right, but he figured Schmucky Schumer would wait until the Immigration Bill passed before pushing immediate Citizenship over “a path” to Citizenship.

Liberals, they aren’t even trying to hide their true nature anymore, and why should they? After all, they won.

Me bad, went with the Headline and had a gut reaction.

Then again, Schumer’s “path” is much shorter than anyone else’s. Let’s just say Schumer prefers a hop, skip and a jump.

Hey Schmuckie! What if THEY don’t want citizenship? Does that matter to you at all? What if they only want a swing at the Big Pinata?

And it won’t solve the problem. Any business which hires illegals out of economic necessity will still have to hire illegals after the amnesty transpires. If their business model requires the employment of slave labor, they will still need new slaves. The newly legalized former illegals will be entitled to all the wage and benefit mandates on actual Americans . . . there will be no savings to be had employing the formerly illegal workers.

The path to citizenship is easier now than during my arrival time. I arrived on a student visa in the 1960’s, received master’s degree in engineering from University of Iowa, and was allowed to work in my field of study for 18 months on the student visa. After that expired, my employer corporation sponsored me for the permanent resident visa (aka green card) based on my special skills in engineering field. I had to wait 7 years in a quota before the green card was approved. Then another waiting period of 3 years before I could apply for citizenship. Now democrats want to give green cards to illegally entered people immediately!

My parents arrived in 1951, they had to wait in war torn Hungary for years with little or no work until they were “approved”, they had to have a sponsor and swear not to receive or apply for government aid for a period of years. Now our government spends OUR money to teach Mexicans how to get FREE handouts the minute they invade our country.

The demorats have cleverly figured out they can stay in power by creating more dependents. It is going to get a lot worse before it can get better, if at all.
