KARL ROVE, 100+ GOP DONORS SEND LETTER TO REPUBLICANS URGING IMMIGRATION REFORM (Flashback)
Breitbart ^ | 7/30/13 | TONY LEE

Posted on 12/26/2013 6:53:50 AM PST by jimbo123

Karl Rove and more than one hundred Republican donors sent a letter to Republican members of Congress on Tuesday, urging them to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill that would include, among other provisions, granting "legal status" to illegal aliens who meet certain criteria.

Anticipating that lawmakers will face resistance to the bill when they go home for the August recess, the letter marks the escalation of a campaign in which Republican leaders and donors are pressuring House Republicans to act on an immigration reform bill.

The letter begins: “We write to urge you to take action to fix our broken immigration system.” According to the New York Times, those who have signed include Rove; "former Vice President Dan Quayle; Tom Stemberg, a founder of Staples; and Frank VanderSloot, the founder of Melaleuca Inc." Romney campaign finance director Spencer Zwick was also signed the letter.

The Times reports that Carlos Gutierrez, former Commerce Secretary for President George W. Bush and a founder of the Republicans for Immigration Reform super PAC, organized the effort.

They are nothing but corporatist whores that are vying for a source of cheap labor and they are in alliance with the statists who want full blown communism and have granted the corporate elite special provisions that maintain their power and wealth in this new communist system. I prefer Freedom and Liberty over tyranny myself.

Illegal immigration reform must happen. So how about some ideas. YOU DIE HARD WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT WE CANNOT SEND AROUND 20 MILLION ILLEGALS BACK ACROSS THE BORDER AND KEEP THEM THERE. Wake up! If the communists Democrats beat us on this one you can wave 2014 goodby.

Miss Romney yet? Remember the lesser of the two evils? When will common sense happen.

There has to be more to it than that. These people aren't stupid. They, like the rest of the political elites, see themselves as above the destruction that would be caused by allowing the invaders to become citizens. It can't be all greed. I believe there is more than a little "My children won't have any competition if we allow all these ineducable peasants to come here." I believe they see themselves as insulated from the destruction as well as seeing their progeny as future oligarchs.

No. Romney would not have changed much. He would be for this now if he were in office.

Is that sarcasm? Or, do you really think so little of US sovereignty that you are willing to simply give it away?

Carlos Gutierrez lists 3 items in his letter! The first two I support 100%. #3 though is what Carlos and the Republican “E” just don’t get! Namely, we have been lied to by so many Republicans so many times and by this administration as well as previous administrations AND ALL THE TIME by the Marxist’s (democrats) THAT WE DON’T BELIEVE ANYMORE A FNG THING THEY SAY!!!!

So, no way I trust this “ruling class” on # 3 in Carlos Gutierrez’s letter!!! These bastards (the ruling class of lifetime professional politicians of both parties) SIMPLY CANNOT BE TRUSTED.......PERIOD!!!!!!!!!

Sen SCHUMER SUCKS UP FOR AMNESTY-- ON RECORD AS AIDING AND AETTING FELONIES "When people are living in undocumented status, there are times, I suppose, when they've made up identities, made up (or stolen) Social Security numbers. How are they going to remember all that? (The) purpose of this bill is to bring people out of the shadows. We all know when they lived in the shadows, they had to forge documents, forge Social Security numbers, et cetera. I just don't see how, when you've lived here 10 years, and you've had many different identities, many different numbers, you're going to remember them all," said Schumer.

====================================================

<><> The Senate "amnesty reform" bill also absolves latinos holding US public office---from prosecution for wrongdoing while in office for stuff like government fraud, graft, bribery, selling their votes for cash....the usual politician crimes that Schumer enumerated---b/c he knows them so well?

<><> Sen Schumer also threatened Republicans with (but never delivered) massive “latino civil-rights type” marches if they didn’t shapeup.

Senator Harry Reid Supports Giving Illegal Aliens Tax Credits for Kids Not Even Living in US
Townhall.com ^ | October 30, 2013 | Mike Shedlock / FR Posted by Kaslin

U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas, left, wants to end the practice of giving illegal immigrants tax credits for kids, but U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., won’t let the House-approved measure H.R. 556 through the Senate. "The System is Working Fine" says Senator Harry Reid, even though the Joint Committee on Taxation calculates that enactment of H.R. 556 would save taxpayers $24.4 billion over the next decade.

The House of Representatives repeatedly has passed an IRS bill that could save U.S. taxpayers up to $24.4 billion over the next 10 years — but Harry Reid’s Democratic Senate will not hear it.

The Refundable Child Tax Credit Eligibility Verification Reform Act, or H.R. 556, would require tax filers to provide Social Security numbers to claim child tax credits. Currently, the IRS allows undocumented residents to collect the $1,000 credits for dependents not even living in the country. Watchdog reported that illegal immigrants received $4.2 billion from the tax agency in just one year.

“My bill (targets) billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse. Instead of hitting up taxpayers for even more taxes, Washington needs to go after these billions of dollars,” said U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas. Though the GOP-controlled House has passed Johnson’s measure three times, Senate Majority Leader Reid, D-Nev., refuses to allow the bill to come up for a vote in his chamber. “The IRS has been doling out the credit to tax filers claiming children who do not even live in the country,” Johnson charged.

REFERENCE March 8, 2012 KENNER, La. -- Kenner police arrested illegal Marvin Baca who sold false W-2 forms to another illegal immigrant for $1,500. Baca sold fraudulent W-2 forms for $1,500 to other Hispanics here illegally.

Police said that on one of the forged W-2 forms had a SS no of a person living in Virginia. Police said illegal Hispanics purchase fictitious W-2 forms and file false tax returns with the government to receive EITC refunds. Baca was charged with one count of ID theft and two counts of forgery.

IRS knowingly sends Billions in Fraudulent Refunds to Illegal Immigrants
Town Hall ^ | Mar 30, 2013 | Bob Beauprez / FR Posted by Texas Fossil

A WTHR-TV Indianapolis investigative report exposes a fraudulent scheme wherein the IRS is sending $4.2 billion per year to illegal immigrants as an "additional child tax credit" for children who don't even live in the U.S. Further, the IRS and Congress have been ignoring the scheme for years. The Inspector General's office has repeatedly identified the problem in audit after audit. The IG, Russell George says, "The magnitude of the problem has grown exponentially," but the IRS is doing nothing to stop it. "It's so easy it's ridiculous," the tax preparer whistleblower who exposed the fraud admits.

Names are simply listed on the IRS form. "The more you put on there, the more you get back." No questions asked…the check's in the mail. Video on youtube of this shocking report. (Excerpt) Read more at finance.townhall.com

If the GOP conspires with the Dems to push amnesty though, I’ve made a vow to never vote GOP ever again, regardless of office, big or small.

The GOPe and the Ruling Elite Democrats are desperate and will do whatever it takes to enact “immigration reform” (aka Amnesty) before the new folks elected to Congress in November 2014 take office in January 2015.

Many currently “Democrat seats” in the House and the Senate will be lost to Republicans and most of those will likely be “Tea Party” Republicans. Also, a number of currently sitting RINO Senators (and some sitting RINO Representatives in the House) will be replaced by true conservative Republicans. This is sending shivers down the back of the GOPe since the RINO leaders can hopefully be replaced by conservatives.

We must continue the fight against the GOPe by supporting (financially and other help) Tea Party candidates.

The federal government now estimates that illegal scams account for one in 20 “food stamp” transactions.”.....probably closer to one in four. Multiple cards seem to be all the rage.

FALSIFYING GOVT DOCUMENTS IS A FELONY immigrant scams include selling EBT cards on Craigslist, fraudulent stores that sell no groceries---just EBT transactions---one illegal alien storeowner allegedly stole $400,000. The feds estimate illegal scams account for one in 20 “food stamp” transactions.

Other reported scams include:

<><> Welfare payments to recipients long after they were listed as dead.....

<><> Multiple recipients using one SS no – and multiple Social Security numbers being used by one person. .....

<><> EBT cards from Massachusetts being used in places like Hawaii, Las Vegas, and the Virgin Islands......

<><> Tens of thousands of blank EBT cards missing from state welfare offices......

<><> Repeated requests for so-called "lost" benefit cards to be replaced.

==============================================================

THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC is a Caribbean nation notorious for corrupt governments. US politicians' frequent the DR "amenities" at its posh resorts; rock stars and celebrities relax at luxe villas spending big bucks there.

NOTE Recent travel brochures report that the DR has no safety net or state-sponsored job creation for its largely impoverished citizenry.

THIRD WORLD MONEY LAUNDERING IN AMERICA The one million Dominican citizens currently living illegally in the US send home about a billion US dollars annually---which is considered by the corrupt do-nothing DR govt to be a major source of state revenue. A steady exodus leaves for US shores lured by the endless US gravy train. Money laundering is rampant in the form of Dominican here on food stamps/welfare. etc, laundering EBT cards through corrupt grocers--- where cash is handed out from EBT cards, then sent to the DR.

THE MODUS OPERANDI (1) using multiple identities, and, (2) falsifying official Govt documents. The scam up- close---getting food stamps (which they apparently do not need), using EBT cards for food, and shipping EBT food to the Third World where the food is sold for profit.

===============================================

NY POST EXCLUSIVE REPORT New York food stamp recipients ship welfare-funded groceries to Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Haiti....and so on. Tax-subsidized food stamps are paying to buy and ship food to Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic....where the food is sold for profit.

A spokeswoman for the US Dept of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service said the $86 BILLION welfare program is reserved for poor US households that buy and prepare food. "States should intervene if people are caught shipping non- perishables abroad", she said.

A senior fellow at the Cato Institute called it another example of welfare abuse. “The purpose of this program is to help Americans who don’t have enough to eat. This is not intended as a form of foreign aid.” As an example, US taxpayers spent $522.7 million on foreign aid to the Caribbean last fiscal year, govt data show.

HERE'S HOW The "needy connivers" buy barrels available in supermarkets in latino enclaves---then ship them filled with $500 to $2,000 worth of EBT-paid groceries to Third World---where the groceries are sold for cash.

Pioneer Supermarket, Brooklyn, flagrantly sells blue plastic barrels for $40 each used to ship food bought 2/ EBT cards to the Caribbean.

=========================================

PEW REPORT The US is the most important source of remittances to Latin America, accounting for 3/4's of last year's $52.9 billion total. -- wire transfers of US tax dollars accounted for the highest percentage of GDP in El Salvador (16.5%), Honduras (15.7%) and Guatemala 10%).-- The US is No. 1 nation from which illegals' wire transfers originate, sending $123.3 billion abroad in 2012.

The real question is when will DEFEATISM disappear from within our ranks. I’m going to assume you simply left a “sarcasm” tag off of your post-—otherwise, it could have well been written by Rove.

Fact Republicans are probably much further ahead than polls show because people are NOT answering their phones (I know I'm not) unless they know who is at the other end. Fact if things stay this way the Democrats could be crushed and subjugated for twenty years.
Fact Bonehead and Rove will sell America out and grant amnesty which will cause the two parties to reverse positions and the Republicans will be decimated.

Fact this will lead first to the total collapse of the Republican Party, the end of today's America and the end of the Catholic Church in America as the “new Americans” will put a dollar or nothing in the collection basket on Sunday; show up with their hands out at Catholic Charities offices on Monday and vote Democrat on Tuesday.
When that happens the Democrats will have the power to destroy the Catholic Church and force total socialism on our nation.
Final fact when this happens Bonehead Rove McAmnesty Ryno and the gang will blame us and their new best friends in the media will use their words to bludgeon conservatives to keep us from rising up again.
