GOP CRAFTS PLAN TO WRECK THE COUNTRY, LOSE VOTERS
Ann Coulter ^ | January 30, 2014 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 01/30/2014 5:10:40 AM PST by Biggirl

As House Republicans prepare to sell out the country on immigration this week, Phyllis Schlafly has produced a stunning report on how immigration is changing the country. The report is still embargoed, but someone slipped me a copy, and it's too important to wait.

Leave aside the harm cheap labor being dumped on the country does to the millions of unemployed Americans. What does it mean for the Republican Party?

I’m curious as to what exactly the GOP elites hope to gain from this.

I agree with each of your answers...you're all exactly right.

Norm, I especially agree that the snotty elitists truly believe that we peons will continue to vote for them, because we'll "fear the Dem is worse". They could not be more wrong.

Like Ann Coulter said...GOP is on suicide watch.

All the posts on this thread are missing Ann's main point. This isn't about the coming GOP amnesty as much as it is about LEGAL IMMIGRATION, which is making the Dems the permanent majority party. The status quo will doom the GOP and the country even without an amnesty.

At the current accelerated rate of immigration -- 1.1 million new immigrants every year -- Republicans will be a fringe party in about a decade.

The 1965 Immigration Act will be cited by historians as the legislation that led to America's decline and fall as a great power.

Agree. That, and the removal of prayer from schools, in the early '60's.

My answer to the first two questions is: NO
The answer to WTF: The mainstream of the Republican Party, the GOPe really do not want to gain a majority in both Houses of Congress or the Presidency. With the Senate or the House, but not both and a Democrat in the White Hut they still have a seat at the table but do not have to take responsibility for anything. Another big plus with this arrangement, they get invited to the best parties. Democrat parties. Media parties. And most important, K street parties.

The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 40 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 90 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.

The nation’s immigrant population (legal and illegal) reached 40 million in 2010, the highest number in our history. The U.S. immigrant population has doubled since 1990, nearly tripled since 1980, and quadrupled since 1970, when it stood at 9.7 million. Of the 40 million immigrants in the country in 2010, 13.9 million arrived in 2000 or later making it the highest decade of immigration in American history, even though there was a net loss of jobs during the decade. Growth in the immigrant population has primarily been driven by high levels of legal immigration.

I hope to God that people wake up and stop repeating the mistakes of the past. I’m as guilty as anyone having voted for McCain to get Palin. So all the bitching I do isn’t some ‘high horse’ thing.

But I woke up. And thankfully a lot of people seem to be saying enough is enough. But what I think will happen is like 2012, some people will act all tough until it’s time to pull the lever and pull the “Fear” card again.

That’s why I and others try so hard to get people in the right headspace now. So their reasons are set and not easily manipulated by fear/emotion come November. A lot of us get hell for that. I can’t speak for the others, but I happen to enjoy breaking libs. What I enjoy more is seeing someone stand up for themselves and helping.

I keep hearing all this about ‘cheap labor’. Anyone who thinks the labor of illegals will remain cheap after amnesty, please raise your hand.

Got to think strategically, folks. First.....no illegal person should ever, under any circumstances, get a path to USA citizenship and the right to vote, period. Children born of illegals here...or brought to the USA by illegals when very young is a bit of a different story. It can be argued both ways. What illegals should be granted is legal status to remain here, work here, pay taxes, etc.

If the Pubbies come forward with a plan....that, first, really protects our borders and then grants legal status to immigrants over a period of years....it puts the Democrats and Obama into a tight corner. Of course, Obama & the Democrat Party could care less about border security....they just want illegals to become citizens/voters to support the Democrat Party. Obama could care less about Hispanics....he only wants their votes!!! Shucks....how can Obama care about Hispanics.....he does not give a hoot about African-Americans. He already has put them out to sea in a boat without a paddle!!!

Bottom line is: Democrats who reject any Pubbie plans to make progress will be viewed by a good number of Hispanics as being only politically motivated, using Hispanics for their political gains. I believe the Pubbies should drip out one plan at a time....promising more in following actions....thus forcing the Democrats & Obama to respond to each action proposed, one by one. I have an idea.....some Pubbies have given this tactic serious consideration, because it sends a clear message to Hispanics that Republicans want to do something to correct the problem and the Democrats really want to do nothing unless it yields more Hispanics votes. End of story!!!

Egypt’s Morsi and our Democrat’s Obama have the same Muslim Brotherhood mentality, and thus both men are opposed to the Common Law basis of American Culture.

The American-based logic system falls on the deaf ears of both men.

Both men have a “Big Picture” mentality of destroying their existing societies in order to establish their version of the Muslim Brotherhood System of governance.

Their responses during and after the 2012 Benghazi Murders were the most revealing insights into their shared Muslim Brotherhood values.

Neither Morsi or Obama can be reasoned with by their countrymen. Their Muslim Brotherhood Mentality prevents them from doing so.

Egypt has figured all this is out, when will America do the same?

I don't think so.

The 'Rats have a trump card: no matter what 'legal status' is granted current illegals, it will be challenged in federal court if it does not immediately confer full voting rights. Before the ink is dry when the bill is signed into law, the usual suspects (La Raza, MALDEF, Mecha, etc.) will be beating a path to the nearest activist federal judge to file lawsuits alleging '2nd class citizenship' and 'equal protection violations'. And they will prevail: any restrictions on voting rights will be removed, likely just in time to make a difference in the 2016 presidential election.

As said elsewhere on this thread: NO IMMIGRATION BILLS, PERIOD!, at least as long as this a$$clown is in the White Hut.

What illegals should be granted is legal status to remain here, work here, pay taxes, etc.

Why reward people who have broken our laws in multiple ways by allowing them to stay work here--the object of their crime? Conferring rights and privileges upon illegal aliens has a corrosive effect on the Rule of Law, the very foundation of our Republic. It is also a slap in the face to legal immigrants who have followed the rules and obeyed the laws. There are 4 million intending immigrants overseas waiting their turn to enter, some for many years. What kind of message does this send to them or anyone else contemplating legal immigration to the US?

Any legislation that legalizes the status of those who broke our laws by entering our country illegally and allows them to stay and work here is amnesty. We must not only prevent the Democrats and some moderate Republicans from hijacking the meaning of the word amnesty, but the public must be made aware about the true impact of an amnesty.

The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty would be $6.3 trillion just for increased entitlement program costs. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.

Legalization without citizenship means: Under such an amnesty, the formerly illegal immigrants would receive Employment Authorization Documents (EADs, or work cards), legitimate Social Security accounts, driver’s licenses, expanded (though still limited) access to welfare, travel documents enabling them to leave and freely reenter the country, eligibility for affirmative-action preferences, and much more. The only thing they wouldn’t have is a timetable to apply for citizenship, which means no prospect of eventually being able to vote.

And the reality is that the courts and the Democrats would never accept a second class citizenship. The Dems would use it as an issue against the Reps.

Again, Ann Coulter is saying that it is LEGAL IMMIGRATION that will make the GOP a fringe party within a decade. Legal immigrants can eventually vote. We have 45 million foreign born in this country today compared to 9.7 million in 1970, One in 8 residents of this country is foreign-born compared to one in 21 in 1970. The one in 8 ratio is the highest in 90 years and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history.

As far as taxes are concerned, the legalized lawbreakers will be net receivers of government benefits rather than contributors. Over 50% of the illegals lack even a high school degree. Do we really need millions more high school dropouts with legal work permits?

Folks......The idea is to outsmart Obama at his own game. You lead with strong border control legislation. Obama & Dems will fight that tooth and nail. Pubbies then demand......no border security...no next step!!! Obama relents and gives you border security. If he refuses....stop the process...cold!!!

Next step, Pubbies offer up to illegals, legal staus, but no citizenship or voting rights....forever. Obama goes nuts, makes a further buffoon of himself & Pubbies then say, no deal. Pubbies then tell Hispanics....look we tried to work with Obama...but he will not budge....so....you have had him for six years as your supposed champion....and he has given you folks, zilch!!! And, really...you good HIspanic folks should not complain...because Obama has stiffed African-American citizens from day one when he took office!!!

You Hispanic and African-American gotta learn something...Obama could care less about either of you folks. The only person he cares about is himself...period. I am sure he does care about Michelle and the girls....but not very much!!! The truth hurts....but....the truth is still the truth!!!

Pubbies...put Obama and his low life Democrats in a corner, and...don’t let up until he resigns or get impeached!!! Gotta beat those evil people at their own game!!!

I would make it a tad easier on everyone.

Outlaw illegal immigration at the state level. If KKKalifornia wants 11 million illegals living there, fine. Doesn’t change the electoral map one iota.

Unless 11 million illegals are spread out over the country where they will have direct impact on national elections, then I would go about it by publicly stating if a blue state wants to destroy itself, they will receive no support from a red state.

Now put a tax bill in place that based on population, tax money going to support illegals will no longer be sent to Washington from states that opt out of the illegal immigrant program.

Pubbies then demand......no border security...no next step!!! Obama relents and gives you border security. If he refuses....stop the process...cold!!!

There is a border security bill in the House that is a sham. The Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Mike McCaul, is just trying to fool the public with this bill.

If the House passes the bill, it will go to conference to be married up with the Senate's Gang of 8 bill, which also contains border security provisions inserted by Corker--another scan to pull the wool over the public's eyes. Once it goes to conference, just like the recently passed Farm bill, the Dems and the pro-amnesty RINOs will send out a bill that will pass the House using a small number of Reps and the Dems. No immigration bill is better than any bill that will be used as a Trojan horse to pass amnesty.

Obama selectively enforces the law. It matters not what law is passed, he will decide what he will or will not enforce.

Next step, Pubbies offer up to illegals, legal staus, but no citizenship or voting rights....forever. Obama goes nuts, makes a further buffoon of himself & Pubbies then say, no deal. Pubbies then tell Hispanics....look we tried to work with Obama...but he will not budge....so....you have had him for six years as your supposed champion....and he has given you folks, zilch!!! And, really...you good HIspanic folks should not complain...because Obama has stiffed African-American citizens from day one when he took office!!!

Nothing is forever. The Dems have already signaled they will accept legalization without citizenship--still amnesty.

"I don't think this is a good idea because citizenship is important, but I don't think it is a big deal breaker either," Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., a leading congressional advocate for overhauling U.S. immigration law, said in a speech last month. "Right now we have to stop the deportations that are breaking up families. And if we do not get citizenship this year, we will be back next year and the year after that."

The result is that Obama and the Dems get amnesty and still retain the issue of a path to citizenship as a club to beat Republicans over the head with.

The Black Caucus fully endorses comprehensive immigration reform including a path to citizenship. They figure that when the Dems become the permanent majority party, they will have a seat at the table when the Dems mete out social justice and the redistribution of wealth.

Pubbies...put Obama and his low life Democrats in a corner, and...don’t let up until he resigns or get impeached!!! Gotta beat those evil people at their own game!!!

Your strategy plays right into the hands of the Democrats. It is insane.
