The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is creating a high-level bipartisan task force on immigration - co-chaired by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, and former Governors Haley Barbour and Ed Rendell - to develop a politically viable package of policy recommendations and work with Congress to help pass immigration reform.

Bi-Partisan?

Gimme a break.

Every person on that list is “All Amnesty, All The Time.”

I think it’s just a ploy to stall the amnesty.

I DO think that the GOPe wants amnesty for big business lobbyists.

I DON’T think they want every GOP member primaried if they attempt it 2013/2014. They might try it after primaries.

For the last 40 yeas The Party of Government (both Dem wing and Rep wing)has done all it can to replace American voters with Mexicans.

It sees the finish line in sight.

Boehner’s new amnesty director’s findings. She conveniently leaves out the part about the permanent democrat majority.

, immigration reform would:

• Spur economic growth. Immigration reform would cause the U.S. economy to
grow an additional 4.8 percent over a 20-year period, including 2.8 percent in the
first decade (as measured by gross domestic product, or GDP). Annual average
growth would be 0.24 percent higher, peaking at 0.35 percent in FY2019–FY2023.

• Reduce federal deficits. Cumulative deficits would fall by nearly $1.2 trillion over a
20-year period. About $180 billion of this reduction would occur in the first decade,
and $990 billion in the second decade.

• Jump-start the housing recovery. Immigration reform would dramatically
increase demand for housing units. This would increase residential construction
spending by an average of $68 billion per year over the 20-year period.

• Expand the labor force. By 2033, the labor force would be 8.3 million people
larger, an increase of 4.4 percent compared with the baseline.

• Offset aging of the workforce. After accounting for fertility, mortality, and
emigration, immigration reform would add 13.7 million people to the population by
FY2033. Just 6 percent of these people would be age 65 or older. By comparison, the
Census Bureau projects that 20 percent of U.S. residents will be 65 or older in 2030.

• Increase long-term wages. Wages would initially fall due to the large influx of
workers, but rise in the long-term. Real wages in FY2023 would be about 0.2 percent
below the baseline, but would be 0.5 percent higher than the baseline in FY2033.

Every one of the so called benefits are hairs they pulled straight out of their butts.

They have no idea what they’re talking about.

Fully 60% of the illegals once legalized will grab all kinds of government benefits from welfare to food stamps to you name it.

Once legalized they be eligible to compete directly with american workers. so they can go back on the books. a-holes are talking about. but once they leave the off the books jobs a new set of illegals will come in behind them to take the off the books jobs.

the people who write and think about this stuff are total numb nuts.

If anyone wants to help discredit her, find me specific writings she’s done on the issue (with her name on it, or something that’s clearly mostly from her). I’ll review the PDF in #9, but shorter OpEds/blog posts would be preferred.

I saw one CSMonitor OpEd from her but it was mostly process, there wasn’t enough policy for me to do something with it. If anyone can find something where she lays out specific policy ideas (under her name) that would be good.

I’ll then use that to show her wrong and conduct a Twitter campaign against her.

Please only send that to me over Twitter since I don’t log in here that much: @24AheadDotCom
