Getting to Yes on Gang of Eight
National Review ^ | June 19, 2013 | National Review

Posted on 06/19/2013 6:49:05 AM PDT by National Review

The GOP is divided, but Schumer thinks he can get to 70 votes in the Senate.

By Andrew Stiles

The immigration debate in Congress has tended to focus on reluctant Republicans who must be sold on the Gang of Eight’s reform proposal, while near-unanimous Democratic support for the bill has always been seen as a given. But should it be?

Well, yes. Probably.

Chuckie Schumer owns the Senate “republicans”. They’ll do whatever he tells them to do.

The GOP is divided. I think we all have not seen anything yet. Do you realize that we now have republican supporters actively hoping/working against in some case to see the GOP fall. Why? for their lack of trustworthiness to signs of betrayal; not only being disloyal to the party platform more urgently to the U.S. Constitution.

(insert concerns of protest for that alone)

In the Amnesty transformation bill, I see the wealthy class becomes than much more wealthier. Some through hard work but many through crony capitalism that is being put in place by the dealings with the special interests to this bill (through those 8 senators).

(don’t you love those guys who smile a lot while together; we are not smiling)

We are suppose to trust this government. The government system when run with the means to run the country as a good company or a business is a good thing. A great role to serve for the people who produce the wealth.

But, when we send people there to reign in spending and waste and these people lie to us; we are doomed to have any results or reforms. Reforms and to look up to people who are honest.

Putting the American worker against an illegal worker is just Un American from where I come from. Protecting the union jobs is the Obama way.

The Rubio imposer said that he would not support any immigration bill that DID NOT- Would not secure the border right away with constructive measures. His trigger system has a catch. The so called trigger has DHLS’s finger on it. Yea, let’s trust that agency who is stockpiling ammunition; already fearing citizens.

Instant citizenship being given to an illegal is stupid/unlawful to the regular folk. If we break the law, do we get amnesty or a grace period from a lien, a overdue tax burden, a crime, an illegal activity like sneaking across into Germany or anywhere living there in the shadows. Then having a group of radicals like LaRaza force that government to make that group legal just because it makes someone feel good.

Talk about corroding the U.S. law.

The Durbin/ Schumer AKA Rubio bill is a lie. They are lying to the American people. How do you expect people with good conscience to just go along to help these establishment republicans to feel good with the establishment democrats.

Sorry I don't have a Republican senator to vote for but I do have two Democrats, so I wrote them anyway.

Remember the deal where we ask our senators for the same tax breaks the illegals get? This is a tad different but anyone who wants to do something similar, go to it:

My letter says:

Now that we are prepared to return to the national quota system of controlling immigration (80% of this decade's slots going to Mexico) I'd like to renew my proposal to you for a private bill whereby you will allocate 100,000 of the slots to me and my associates for the purpose of bringing in people from India and Pakistan with advanced degrees in engineering, banking, law, medicine and so forth.

They'll agree to work for 2 years chopping pineapples if you want, or maybe disking radishes ~ whatever ~ but they want a guarantee they get to stay here 5 years working in their chosen field.

So, what say?

100,000 slots ~ is that so much?

Those Mexicans will never know!

Find it strange when the excuse is being given that while the government knows whats going on in 300 million citizens lives but because the illegals are not citizens and in “the shadows” according to Florida’s Senator Rubio the US doesn’t know who they are or where they’re comming from so we must make them citizens..

FR’s ;This Wednesday June 19th a Anti Amnesty Rally will be held on the Capitol grounds. Participants are urged to visit their respective Congressional Representatives and let them know their feelings Michelle Bachmann announced over the Rusty Humphries show http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3032787/posts

WHEN IT COMES TO AMNESTY MEXICO THIS IS THE NO NO

If you agree with the above and the following please don’t let it lay here in FR-land. Pass it on to to your favorite talk show host and to your US legislators. PUSH THE HASTERT RULE.

ONE NATIONALITY AMNESTY SKEWS QUOTAS. AMNESTY FOR NATIONALS FROM A COUNTRY THAT HAS CLAIMS ON OUR NATIONAL TERRITORY HURTS OTHERS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, AMERICAN CITIZENS AND SKILLED LABOR FROM OTHER NATIONS

In that May 3rd speech Obama gave before the Mexican Anthropological Museum in which he blamed America for the violence in Mexico I believe he went even futhur. There’s a inference but never referenced by name to the Gasden purchase and border settlements US made with Mexico where Obama hinted he seems to side with the Mexican claims. Would those in attendence share that view is a question that should be asked, because I believe they would,.he does.

SOLVING THE ‘LATINO” PROBLEM A MYTH HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE BUT A POLITICAL LINGUISTIC CONTRIVANCE ...don’t fall into the hypenated Americans trap created by the hypenated political party ...The DEMO-COMS

The Mexicans have been getting most favorable treatment above the rest of our neighbors both north and south. They’re permitted to cross our borders and enter illegally and are allowed access to rights of citizenship (with the exception of voting which if the democrat party regains control over the House will happen) other nationals entering this country don’t get.. Worse yet the Obama government has been working hand in glove with Mexican movements such as LaRaza supporting the Mexican claims which are also supporting “Amnesty”.

Also by allowing Mexicans to do this any quota ration for immigration from other south and central American countrys are taken up by Mexicans while that country is laying claim to a large chunk of our sovereign territory is a recipe for later serious problems which are happening now.

ARE MEXICAN ILLEGALS SQUATTERS PERPETUATING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS ?

We are already seeing the result of this in certain areas claimed by the Mexicans. Their national flag (standard) gets displayed over ours. Where there is a controlling number of Mexican nationals (illegals). It’s displayed over certain institutions particularly schools accompanied by riots and disturbances. Blacks are threatend by Mexicans in certain sections of citys in those areas. We’re courting trouble by not placing a value on our sovereignty and our citizenship.

MOST COINS OF THE REALM HAVE TWO FACES WHAT ABOUT HOW ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN MEXICO BEING TREATED ?

Worse yet if a US citizen goes into Mexico never mind illegaly but legally. They’ll get 2nd class treatment. Land ownership in title is prohibited period. And there are a slew of regulations they must comply with. Which doesn’t apply to a citizen of Mexico

THE SOLUTION ASSERT OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND TALK RECIPROCITY .

By not insisting on reciprocity particularly on those who have entered this country illegally we’re offering no incentive for assimilation and we’re not easing the burden for our fellow citizens who for what ever reason decided to live in Mexico.

ENOUGH OF THE ONE WORLD SOCIALISM ...BRING BACK SOVEREIGNTY AND SANITY TO OUR COUNTRY .....BRING BACK BELIEF IN GOD ...THIS GOVERNMENT OUT OUR FACE..... OUR RELIGIONS..... AND OUR BEDROOMS..
