2016 campaign hinges on legalization

GOP conservatives believed they had won the illegal immigration fight last year when congressional leaders embraced a deportation crackdown, but big-money donors are mounting a counterattack, saying the Republican Party must nominate a pro-legalization candidate if it is to win the White House in 2016.

Never planned to, Jeb Bush is the designated loser this time around.
The point of the exercise is to deny us the opportunity to keep our country.

We will not be allowed to vote for a President who WILL enforce the laws and secure the border within the confines of Republican and Democrat.

Unless people can let go of their noses when they vote, and think outside the box that the parties put us in, the country will be lost.

I really wonder why business wants the illegals made legal. What makes them a good thing for business is them being illegal. If they are legal workers they won’t be near as easy to exploit. They will have rights. Business will have to pay social security and workman’s comp on them. I just don’t see the advantage to business.

“big-money donors ... saying the Republican Party must nominate a pro-legalization candidate if it is to win the White House in 2016.”

Yeah, it sure worked great in 2008 and 2012, didn’t it?

I’m sick of hearing about these big money donors. Who are they? Are they too stupid to realize that if the party they support agrees with amnesty that that will be the end of the Republicans winning elections forever? I’m sick of these people.

good query. At some point we don’t sacrifice the country for a few silver coins. One theory I have is that is we give illegals Unearned Income Tax credits, they will buy from these scum suckers. But I have no idea.

Well, I'd be skeptical, but these, after all, are the consultants who brought us the winning campaigns of McCain and Romney. If Jeb Bush can do as well as they did, I guess I'll just have to come around on the issue.

It's the water in DC. I've always suspected as much.

Who, exactly, are these “big money donors?” It’s a serious question.

We are approaching the condition of Europe, where immigration politics largely proceeds without regard for what the public thinks.

GOP must embrace pro-immigration policy, big biz says

$$

Party over principle.

Party over patriotism.

Compromise over conservatism.

Lawlessness over legitimate.

Big biz and their wealthy investors.

Same reason they sold out Americans and moved much of their greedy businesses to low wage labor Communist China. Billions of low wage peasants.

$$

These people would walk over the bodies of starving Americans for more profit. They've turned America into a flophouse so they can live like kings.

The leftist and Communist have their own separate agendas for supporting these country killing policies.

So there ya have it.

They think money will win elections.
They have not learned from the last two elections that while they have big money donors, they don’t have voters.
Jeb is going to make McCain and Romney look like winners.

The more illegals, legal immigrants and H1-B visa’s means an unlimited supply of labor. I.e. You and your kids will get paid less. If you can even find a job.

It’s all about supply and demand for labor.

Funny how Rep. Kurt Schrader (D) from Oregon says openly that Amnesty will put the Rats in charge for the next 30 years.
Time for the GOP-e to stop listening to donors who only bring 1 vote to the table.

The big money donors should be hanging from lamp posts.

Traitors, all of them.
