"The BPC is a business-sponsored think tank. It backs businesses' interest in investing a lot of money toward gaining access to all the foreign-born labor they can get," said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. "They simply don't want to pay middle-class salaries to American workers."

Oh, well, if the star studs want it, it must be good.

[SMARTY]

Maybe this well-heeled ‘task force’ can pony up and put their money where THER mouths are!!

It will cost everyday ‘Joe America’ more than it will EVER cost this crowd of ‘drunk on attention’ ideologues!

A pro-immigration policy will ensure the nation's future prosperity, better national security

WH Clown refuses to enforce immigration laws on the books from prior Congresses and Presidents, WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW "REFORM" BY ISSUING NEW LAWS WILL IMPROVE BORDER SECURITY? PLEASE I BEG OF YOU RATS, EXPLAIN YOURSELVES.

I suppose the LIBTARD answer would be that if we relaxed the laws, then no one will be breaking the law? Just throw the border open - make the law match the actual enforcement practice?

RATS = new voters
GOP = CHEAP LABOR

"A pro-immigration policy will ensure the nation's future prosperity, better national security and a more youthful labor force that will help pay for retirement and medical programs for decades to come, a star-studded group said here Thursday."

If a "group" of allegedly intelligent, educated people actually formulated that sentence, or implied it or even endorsed it ... It's all over

It's like my shop teacher terlling me NOW, "Hey .. y'member all that Ohm's Law stuff? ... F'GETaboudit ... it doesn't work"

AlexW is correct.

[Huskrrrr]

You low skilled American workers better get used to the unemployment line.

RE :”A pro-immigration policy will ensure the nation's future prosperity, better national security and a more youthful labor force that will help pay for retirement and medical programs for decades to come, a star-studded group said here Thursday.
The Bipartisan Policy Center, helmed by an immigration task force featuring the unlikely pairing of Republican Condoleezza Rice and Democrat Henry Cisneros, released an analysis on demographics that painted immigration reform as a significant boost to the United States, both on the home front and internationally. “

These claims that they will pay for our future medicare and SS would have some merit if the ~ 10 year amnesty probation included some income requirements the opposite of means testing, in other words that income would have to make enough to be excluded from any government handouts and pay a decent income tax rate.

Not much good if they pay those payroll taxes but get food stamps, medicaid and EITC.

But these reforms are never constructed to meet the amnesty promises.

“Star studded”?

I guess that means it will really hurt when they attempt to ram it up our a**.

[sickoflibs]

The reference to national security means that neo-cons want the young illegals in the army for the next invasion, maybe of Iran or Syria.

Condi’s definitely a neo.

“The BPC is a business-sponsored think tank.”

Nuff said.

Members include: Republican Haley Barbour, former governor of Mississippi; Democrat Ed Rendell, former governor of Pennsylvania; Democrat Henry Cisneros, former U.S. secretary of housing and urban Development; Republican Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. secretary of state; Republican Michael Chertoff, former U.S. secretary of homeland Security; Republican Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union; and Democrat Eliseo Medina, chair of the SEIU Immigration and Latino Civic Engagement Initiative.

What a sorry bunch of fifth columnists bent on the destruction of the American worker and the middle class. The fact that Eliseo Medina is a member should give any sane person pause. Listen to what Medina said in 2009 shortly after the Obama victory:

Eliseo Medina Speaks on Immigrants for Votes

[BookmanTheJanitor]

which has higher standing: a star-studded task force or a blue ribbon committee? (snark)

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Hannity actually supported amnesty in 2011 because a minority RINO (Condi in this case) was in the room with him. People thought it was Murdoch or Rubio who flipped him.

According to Condi poor Mexicans are the same as the people who have founded certain tech companies.
