For someone whose posts constantly have about a dozen lines in them this was a short post. But I guess when you can't refute logic this is the best you can do. You want to welcome anyone here into the US to 'work'. Sure, let's start with people from Afghanistan who want to come to work here. Uhhh, maybe .. just maybe they are terrorists. Same with Iran and a lot of other countries who hate the US. But hey .. they said they are here to work ..... so I repeat to you .. THINK before you post or next year you may be up for troll of the year award.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...kers-Must-Ignore-Big-Business-Amnesty-Lobbies On Friday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said the House was the last line of defense for the millions of Americans whose wages and livelihood will be put at risk by amnesty and comprehensive immigration reform. He urged House Republicans to put the interests of American workers ahead of those of the consultant class, lobbyists, and Democrats who want cheaper labor and more potential votes. House Republican leaders are preparing to unveil their "immigration principles" which will include amnesty provisions that the Congressional Budget Office determined would lower the wages of American workers. Sessions, the ranking Member of the Budget Committee, said that Obama and Senate Democrats have "uniformly embraced an immigration plan that would devastate wages and working conditions for millions of struggling Americans to benefit a small cadre of lobbyists and CEOs." He added that their plan "doubles the flow of immigrant workers, adds another 30 million new permanent residents to compete for every job, and guarantees illegal immigration will continue permanently in the future." Sessions warned the House to not pass comprehensive immigration reform in everything but name only, which is what Obama has desired and Rep. Luis Gutierrez's (D-IL) has said his "Republican friends" do as well. "House Republican leaders must dismiss the whispers of the consultant class, the pleadings of the business lobby, and the pressure campaign from the activists who believe illegal immigration is a civil right," Sessions said. "It would be tragic if the Leader's immigration principles were simply a âpiecemealâ repackaging of the Senate plan." Sessions said Republicans must "embrace the national interest" first by "placing its first emphasis on helping millions of Americans transition from welfare and unemployment to work and rising wages." "In so doing, the GOP will not only aid struggling workers from all backgrounds, but will recapture the trust and faith of millions of Americans who have turned away from the party," he said. "Such clear and convicted action would also expose the influence special interests groups have wielded over the White House and Senate Democrats from day one. The House now stands alone as the last line of defense for millions of working Americans that form the backbone of the nation." He added that a "sound immigration plan will help both citizens and immigrants alikeâreducing unemployment, promoting assimilation into the middle class, and ensuring the consistent and faithful application of the law upon which our national greatness depends.â ... immigration reform is code for cheap labor
Tariffs on third world slave labor products shipped into the US is also needed. To hell with the free market our first concern is to protect our citizens ability to earn a good standard of living. I would guess that the cheap crap coming in from overseas costs us at least as much in wages and standard of living as "cheap" Mexican labor.
yes, well, trading can be a very lonely way to make a dollar, especially if you are independent and if you watch a lot of tv like I do, I begin to wonder if they are all crazy or I am crazy so it's nice to talk to others, even if they disagree with me I don't know how many Iranians you know personally. The only ones I know are what I've seen on the tv screen. But just as a betting man, I'd be willing to lay you odds that most of them are not terrorists. And that's based on no inside or factual information. Just on what I observe about most people.
Jeff Sessions has stood tall on this issue. Of course, the republican establishment, the very "consultant class" he speaks of, despises him for not going along. They have Boehner and his band of weasels, eg Cantor, Ryan, in their hip pocket and now it is just a matter of diverting the base's attention to slip in past them and then hope they forget it before the next election. You have to marvel at just how stupid and self-defeating the republicans actually are. Teh democrats are evil, yes, but at least they have a coherent plan: convert 30 million illegal aliens into reliable democrat voters. What is the republican plan? Other than pocket some corporat emoney? The republicans could challenge the democrats and make the case that Sessions does, namely that this is a death blow at the lower middle class and working Americans. Get those Reagan democrats back in the fold. They could also come out for pot legalization and get some cred with young people. Of course, anything bold like that would require some backbone so forget it. They'll end up nominating some dork like Jeb Bush and lose to Hillary.
this is why we have pick for them... who should we get behind? who will not sell out tax payers? Paul or take a chance that Cruz will get by the Natural Born Citizen problem. I would love to see scott walker bring his no income tax on board.
