The Zuckerburgs of the world do not realize that having a bunch of new citizens will back fire on them in the form of new regulations and higher taxes. However, Zuckerburg voted for Obama and Democrats in 2012 and 2008, and most of his donations were to Democrats.
“The GOP needs to oppose the White House’s immigration plan and expose its flaws.”
this would be under the assumption they grew a pair and had a spine.
We are extending unemployment for people who can not find jobs, but will legalize 15 million new workers? Insanity!
I’m not sure it will matter once the TPP is passed.
Amnesty is a civil right? Do words mean ANYTHING anymore? Does anyone understand what a RIGHT truly is?
RIGHTS are given by God. They are inalienable truths about life from conception to death. You have a right to life, meaning no one can take your life from you for any reason. You have a right to be free, just as any animal on this planet is free when it’s born. You have a right to pursue whatever path you wish in your life. If you want to be a panhandler who washes windshields for pocket change, you be the best damn newspaper swiping nasty bastard you can be!
Amnesty is a man-made concept. Amnesty is a legal concept. Amnesty isn’t a right, it can’t be. Man may have the right to travel where he wishes and to pursue his dreams, but laws can put the kibosh on that. Without a change to American immigration law, amnesty would simply be legalization of the illegal by fiat.
I don’t think the GOP would oppose immigration laws favoring citizenship for illegals.
This is an opportunity for the Tea Party to differentiate themselves from the Democrats and GOPe. (To the average American)
In 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2012, 60+% of the US was for securing the borders and opposed to amnesty for illegals. Both the Democrats and GOPe ignored the issue completely. If the GOP had run on the issue, they would have blown the Democrats away. But they remained silent.
Our government and its stupidity, ignorance, corruption and greed is the cause of Americans being crowded out of the labor market.
Why in the hell do the need to move here?
Mexico: More than 6000 miles of coastline in a temperate part of the world. Rich in arable land and other natural resources.
Population density: Similar to Tennessee, the 21st most densely populated state in the country.
Same question.
Our land area and our population represents a little over 4% of the world. The world is no more "entitled" to settle here than we are "entitled" to colonize the world.
Can NRO please tell the WSJ illegal immigration and amnesty for breaking the law is bad?
A sensible thing to do with immigration law would be to to repeal and remove anything connected to the 1965 Immigration Act. All that has done is incentivize fraud at every skill level whether it is through guest workers or illegals.
That, and it would be good to enforce the laws that already exist on illegal immigration.
Isn’t ironic that Obama is so concerned with inequality, but lack of border policing and mass amnesty will increase inequality?
The Chamber of Commerce wants amnesty, therefore the GOPe wants amnesty. See that was easy.
The GOP is in total capitulation. They are racing to embrace amnesty.
The only person I know that exceeds his smarmy noxious twit rating is Schuck Chumer.
I have come to the conclusion that Jeff Sessions is the only one in D.C. with a functioning brain. We need to secede and make him president.
