The status quo wouldn’t be defacto amnesty IF THE GOVERNMENT DID ITS DAMN JOB AND ENFORCED THE LAW. Beware: This is their new talking point, a phrase we will hear over and over again in the coming days. It is NOT TRUE. DOES NOT REFLECT REALITY. All the pro-bill people are both sides already are using it. I heard it eight times this morning, already. The REAL status quo is ignoring the law.
Another couple of talking points I’m hearing:
“This immigration debate is made to order for a bunch of angry white men listening to talk radio.”
We should make it a point to have women legal immigrants shout these clowns down. They will do it with pleasure. The ones who did it by the rules are maddest about the scoff-laws.
“It is impossible to deport 20 million people”
We should start by enforcing the laws, making it clear that those breaking the laws will NEVER get citizenship. Make it clear that illegals do not qualify for benefits in any way. Then let the chips fall where they may. Mexico sure found a way to get rid of 20 million people.
