# Who has the best record on immigration?

Really! ? You are still using Numbers USA as a source? Numbers USA is a green, zero population organization.

"Dr. Tanton founded local chapters of Planned Parenthood and the Sierra Club and became the national president of Zero Population Growth. Unable to interest colleagues in fighting immigration, he formed FAIR in 1979, pledging in his proposal to make it “centrist/liberal in political orientation.” The first director, Roger Conner, had made his mark as a liberal environmental advocate. . . .

Numbers USA is credible on immigration issues, despite their green agenda. I do not agree with them on their stated goal to reduce overall immigration because I think said goal would be a natural result of having a reasonably sane immigration policy. But their data on other immigration issues is balanced and credible.

Newt, like Rick Perry, have a lot of great ideas on growing our economy, but sour a lot of conservatives because they put the interests of the open borders lobby ahead of the interests of ordinary Americans.

Too many business interests, including Perry, Gingrich and the Chamber of Commerce, are too blind to see that their unbridled affection for cheap labor leads to massive importation of third worlders who will enthusiastically vote for socialism as a means to get more free stuff.

That's a far more dangerous mindset than one of Rick Santorum's occasional pro-union votes while representing a heavily unionized constituency.

Think of it as the difference between some northern conservatives and southern conservatives, if you like. Some southerners may like the benefits that illegal aliens and cheap labor brings to their economies, but many of us northerners resent the costs which they overwhelmingly impose on us with job losses (albeit some contributed by excess unionism), loss of congressional seats, rising crime and an increased number of feeders at the government trough.

Based on the results in Alabama and Mississippi last night, I'd have to say that a lot of our brothers and sisters in the south agree with us.

P.S. Just because Noam Chomsky is an American hating moonbat when it comes to politics doesn't mean he isn't a brilliant linguist.
