Well, that was fast.
Just two days after President Barack Obama won a second term, boosted by more than 70 percent of the Latino vote, some Republicans are striking a new tone on illegal immigration.
Conservative Fox News and radio host Sean Hannity said Thursday that his views on immigration have "evolved."
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Hannity better consult with his buddies Rush and Levin because they don’t see it that way and get with the program. Bob Beckel is likely rubbing off on him.
We need to play the ground game and the media game and all the other games. Sitting it out is not an option because Obama will simply go around Congress using executive orders.
Hannity will do anything to sell more books.
NO!!! We just have to pick a candidate who has a core. We do not need another flip flopper. That was Romney Number ONE reason he did not win. Who could trust what he says? Most Romney voters even wondered that. I know when I was in the voter booth voting for him, I thought well hopefully he will do what he says, but there was that doubt that he might not.
I think Rush nailed it;
Give them amnesty all of them let them work play do what ever they want,But;
No voting rights for 25 years.
As he stated there will be zero takers as the main drive is to upset the system and get “Free Stuff” and the inability to vote will not allow that.
And Hannity’s buds Rush and Levin cited an empirical study that shows the RINO assumption are all wrong about Latinos wanting amnesty for illegal immigration, but instead are here for the free stuff from government who spread the wealth around.
Hannity is an idiot if he thinks granting 10-20million new democrat voters, actual citizenship to legally vote for democrats will solve the problems of the Republican party. Both Juan McCain and to a lesser extent Romney spoke about granting some sort of “comprehensive reform” and they lost to a man that didn’t really say anything different.
It’s about outreach and Romney’s campaign didn’t offer any different outreach to the Hispanics. They were too busy trying to convince conservatives that he was conservative enough.
I think were on the same page
Amnesty maybe.Voting rights No,there gos the freebes
How about the GOP tackling Boehner reform? Get a new Speaker of the House.
And we all know how support for amnesty worked out for John McCain!
What we must do is stop letting the left dictate the agenda. Stop fighting the enemy according to their battle plan and develop our own.
I think that Boehner and Hannity need to go away.
A 21 year wait to vote should go with any deal. You want to become a citizen for nothing? You can’t vote for 21 years. This calls the Democrats’ bluff on wanting Hispanics for “humanitarian” reasons.
Hannity is an idiot, period!
Hannity has taken the first step down the slippery slope. Ask Michael Smerconish how that went. Smerk used to be a Conservative voice, came back from a vacation spouting anti-war agenda. Now he’s an MSNBC trained chimp.
all i know is, when individuals, or political parties or countries make improper compromises out of fear, very often, the very thing they fear happens to them !
in this case it is so obvious: the Republicans are fearful about about the political consequences of properly enforcing immigration laws, because they think that the backlash from latino voters will make the demographics impossible to wine.
So they cave in and agree to “immigration reform” and the democrats import a permanent majority of illegal immigrants from the third world.
and the Republicans end up with the very situation they feared, and worse...
The conservatives here in Canada faced a similar issue, and in some ways the demographics are worse, but they hung tough and reduced immigration numbers and tightened up the qualifications, and instead of being punished they have made major inroads into the immigrant communities in the big cities (especially toronto)
Amnesty would increase the Dim share of the Latino vote to around 80%. Who thinks the newest arrivals would become Republican voters?
By the time 2013 rolls around, the economy will already have collapsed or there will be even more takers.
When Obama is done, at least he is supposed to be, who knows?, conservatism won’t matter unless you are willing to pander to each group that wants stuff. And that is not conservtism.
I see no hope at the ballot box.
oops! meant to say 2016
oops! meant to say 2016
They would find some Judge within 5 minutes of passing to overturn this.
Was listening to Mark Levin the other night. He made a lot of sense regarding the illegal immigration issue. The answer is not running a Marco Rubio or a Herman Cain or a female of any persuasion which is simply pandering to Balkanizing strategies and gender and race warfare amongst the electorate. The answer lies in deconstructing the stranglehold the left has had on our educational institutions for so many years. Start with the children and educate them to John Locke and Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand at an early age, teach them how finance works, how the free market operates, teach them the history of the U.S. not the revisionist version, stop the left wing propagandizing that begins in kindergarten and extends into graduate school. Teach in Spanish if you have to. Publish Mark Levin’s book “Liberty and Tyranny “ in Spanish, print fifty million copies and distribute them to all illegals. This was Mark’s suggestion. No it’s not just self interest. Let them read about our great principles and how capitalism and freedom work hand in hand to provide more for the individual than any handout any democrat can possibly give them. End the racial and class warfare paradigm. That is the only way Latinos can or will cross over and vote conservative. It will be a long process but there are no short cuts. Right now the illegals are completely off the reservation as stooges for the Democrats. They are ignorant and the Democrats are subverting them every step of the way. Education is key and the Democrats know it and have known it for years. That is why they have succeeded in installing someone like Obama for two terms.
Im done with the lot of them!
I dated a Serbian woman. She has this funny idea that letting people invade your country for decades leads to genocide and war.
I have said for years that it students took a year between high school and college and worked at a dead end job, many of the liberal - leftist ideas peddled at college wouldn’t take hold as easily as they fo.
So parents paying for school should say character building is part of your education, defer admission and do this or I won’t pay for school.
Come on guys! It’s now time to use the intellect, and that is something the dems use in a limited sphere.
Listening to Sean Hannity on policy is not using your intellect.
With all due respect to Sean fro his great success as a showmnan, he is a college dropout who has limited use of the language and who is not well read.
He is NOT an elected official.
So, let’s get a grip. There are lots of smart people out there, AND on this forum.
Hannity can bend over and take it up his arse for all I care.
It’s not about immigration at all and the Pubs refuse to see what is ACTUALLY going on.
Democrats have “free stuff”.
Republicans have work hard and save your money.
If you are from Generation “Me”, Generation “Fast Food”, Generation “X”, Generation “Tech” Generation “Baby Boomer”
OR
If you are associated with Homosexuals, Minority Races, Single Parents, Special Rights, Unemployed, Pro-Choice, Union Members, Govt Employees or PTA,
Then what would be the choice for you?
Work really, really hard??? Or Free Stuff??
It’s that simple.
Game Over. I do not think there will a recovery.
Illegals don’t come here with intent of creating a third world country, otherwise they would stay where they were.
Everyone wants a piece of the pie. If you lived in poverty you would try and get your family here, too.
The key is to make it tougher for them and easier for legal immigration.
If lazy Americans were willing to take all of the jobs, the illegals would have no reason to come here.
No, immigration reform is a non-starter for Republicans, who do not have the power to make changes; and the Democrats will permit no changes in which the Republicans might benefit.
Therefore it is a distraction from the very few things the Republicans can still forcefully do. In a nutshell, three things:
1) Refuse to vote for any more continuing resolutions. If Harry Reid wants money, he must actually allow the senate to conduct budget hearings and pass a budget. At first, the Democrats and the MSM will come down on the Republicans like a ton of bricks over this, but two years is a very long time. If the Republicans hold firm, they will force Reid and Obama to do their job, at least nominally.
2) Refuse to cancel sequestration. Mandatory cuts of such scale will traumatize the bureaucracy. The public will be horrified at a 1/3rd reduction in the defense budget. Again, at first, the Democrats and the MSM will lash out at the Republicans, but if the Republicans hold firm, it will really hit the Democrats with both barrels from their big money supporters, demanding they compromise.
3) Refuse to increase the debt cap. Tell Obama and Reid that if they want the debt cap raised, they must do so with immediate spending cuts first, and maybe higher taxes later, not vice versa.
These three things together will be far more than the Democrats can take, and though the Republicans will get huge pressure at first, they can just go into defensive mode. The Democrats are the ones who will eventually be devastated unless they bend.
Amen!! All the GOP need to pay attentiion. I, too, like the amnesty now and no voting for 25 years; however, voting would have to be enforced.

Your no voting for 25 years will be overturned by the supreme court in under 5 and we all know it. Lying to ourselves about it makes us sound like democrats.
He's been whining about them since the storm hit.

Sean Hannity knowingly recruited and employed many illegal aliens while he was in the construction business.
Several years ago he used to brag about on his radio show -
When things got hot Hannity went to the SW borders to use the Minutemen to boost his ratings.
All this crap about illegal aliens paying taxes only means sales taxes - never federal, state, or local income taxes.
Illegal aliens have organizations, churches, attorneys, and printed literature distributed in the USA and South of the Border on how to secretly work (both husband & wife) under the table but still get:
Food Stamps
Govt Subsidized Housing
Medical & Dental
WIC - (food for children)
Welfare payments (cash income)
Legal Assistence
& more - like phoney SSI payments for their (alleged) children - here and South of the Border
all paid for by you - the taxpayers
Suckers!
.
You are right. I have a novel idea....enforce the current laws:o)
.
I am not suggesting we shoot a certain set number of Judges (at all levels of govt.) every year - names to be picked at random in a lottery
- But it is interesting
.
Just yesterday, illegals had a protest in Michigan over the fact that our secretary of state refused to give them driver’s licenses.
One of their main complaints was about the fact that not having a license singled them out and made them afraid to vote because an ID is requested and if they don’t have one they have to sign an affidavit that they do. (Self incrimination)
Yes. We must insist on real border control methods (e-identification, no automatic birthright, guest worker program, overhaul social security cards, etc etc) and then we bite the bullert and grant amnesty to get the issue off teh table. The law must absolutely stop the bleeding through the pourous border though. If it does not, it won’t be reform. It will be surrender and that we will not do.
Why do these idiots always think they can out left the Left?
Fox News is a neo-conservative mouthpiece for a Republican agenda that has supported open borders for years. Hannity's views on immigration haven't evolved at all ... he's simply parroting his employer's agenda.
I say this as someone who used to work in the same building in New York City where Hannity started his career in talk radio. I've shared many an elevator ride with him, and I've done a bit of research on his background from Long Island before he became a media personality. He's a nice guy, but trust me when I tell you that Sean Hannity doesn't do his radio or television shows on his way home from Mensa meetings.

Our Goose or Geeses are cooked. Morals were thrown out the window over 20 years ago. Today, Free Stuff trumps.
They are real idiots in the GOP. No matter how they will bend over for a protected class’ attention, the opposition have done the damage successfully branding them as the ‘white’ party.
Have been hearing a lot of “hispanic call in day” on the radio since after the election. Many hispanic activists on trying to explain what went wrong with the election and why they supported Democrats.
Everything they had to say boiled down to this: We basically share a lot of values with the Republicans. We would probably BE republican voters. What the Democrats do right is and why hispanics vote for them is because they make HISPANIC INTERESTS first and foremost, above other interests.
In other words, the Latino community wants to come here, illegally, and stay here. Yes, they want a good life and share our values ... but they want the LATINO community to receive amnesty and then continue to receive special treatment. They o NOT care about our laws or the Rule of LAw. That is secondary to the “Race.” They want it to be OK for them to come here, receive amnesty, and CONTINIE to receive various benefits and special consideration for their race, and their race only.
You can hear it, if you really listen in between the lines. The democrats DO this, better than anyone else ...they create balkanized special interest groups — Latinos, gays, blacks, women, etc ....it’s just one more in a long line of the splintering of the nation.
I say to them: SCREW you, Latino community!!! Get in the back of the line and ENFORCE THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS!! NO group should receive special treatment above all others ...every American gets the same chance and you can work it if you have the brains, guts, and ambition and come here legally — Not the American way, pals!
Tired of hearing this BS from the “Latino Community” — look, either you’re an American, or you just need to go the F home. I don’t care about you wanting a better life. You don’t have a right to it.
