Immigration Bill Is Worse Than You Think

How is that possible? Do we have to buy them all new cars or something?

"Immigration Bill Is Worse Than You Think" How is that possible? Do we have to buy them all new cars or something?

See below - for that you can get at least 2 millions of new cars a year.

With the provisions and benefits that will be in it, he estimates that year 10 through year 20, the cost could be $50 to $60 billion a year to the taxpayers

[Arizona Carolyn]

Do we have to buy them all new cars or something?

The provisions thrown in at the last minute they might as well buy them each a car... making it manditory to give "prevailing" (as opposed to minimum wage) and taking away the ability to fire without cause sounds a lot more like France than the USA (to me)... in essence, they are being given more rights than those of us born here.

It is possible that this is really a good thing? I.E. with these provisions that nobody will hire them and they will go home?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Someone was asking about that last week. I wish I knew, because I would sure as heck sign it... McCain has now dropped from a D- to an F... doesn't sound like he is representing the State that elected him to his exaulted position to the right of Teddy Kennedy.

[Arizona Carolyn]

If only that would be true. Wanna bet the same employers who are hiring them without fear from the feds will continue business as usual as long as possible.

[Rodney King]

So you have no problem with Democrats taking over Congress and the White House?

Most people weasel around that question, but I will answer it directly: Yes, I have no problem with it. Or, to be more accurate, I don't have enough problem with it to start giving money again.

I will confess that my position is not entirely rational. The rational approach suggest that the dems are worse than the GOP, so therefore give to the GOP.

However, the existence of that rational position has allowed the GOP to give it to us in the rear without even the courtsey of a reach around for about 10 years now. (94-96 were pretty good years for the GOP).

There is only so much that I can be taken advantage of before I will simply close up and stop caring. That has happend. No more money from me, and no more support from me unless you are a principled conservative (I.E. Tom Coburn).

Since your John Kerryesk waffle response I have yet to find out where the George Bush immigration plan is located on the internet. Could you please let us know where it is located?

The usual suspects:

Purdue
Tyson
Cargill
Archer Daniels
Hormel

What bush plan? ??????Let everyone in???

No, silly. It's the "new America" plan....

THE "NEW AMERICAN"

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster

[Arizona Carolyn]

Yep!

[B-Chan]

Be careful with that sort of talk. We Freepers all know what you're trying to say, but there are other people reading FR who might find your post to be... of interest -- and not in a good way. A word to the wise.

[William Terrell]

Beware!

This bill may be too bad. It appears to me to be full of throw aways to get what we all have been against, a guest worker program, which, contrasted against this bill will look like we won.

Cynical? Hell yes. There are a lot of very powerful people who want this badly. I hope I'm wrong.

The Rats and Rat RINOs must have received a briefing on what Senator Sessions said and thought, "So that's what's in the bill -- I like it!" They passed the bill.

From the past..

In the summer of 1989, Mr. Rostenkowski, then a congressman from Illinois and the powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, was besieged by a crowd of 50 senior citizens in Chicago . . . the protesters -- shouting "coward," "recall" and "impeach" -- forced him to sprint through a gas station to his car. . .

The protesters were angry about [a new Medicare law] . . .That law was soon repealed. But the television images of Mr. Rostenkowski under assault struck fear in the hearts of politicians . . .

"Politicians were traumatized by the Rostenkowski episode," said Henry J. Aaron, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

[End of quotes]

There's something about the gas station connection -- can't quite put my finger on it. . .

Roger! TY

I figured that I made it "silly" enough so that there'd be no confusion.
