Comprehensive AMNESTY tres

The unintended price tag of Comprehensive AMNESTY

If you’d like to see the fiscal fiasco congress is creating with this Comprehensive AMNESTY, go to this article in today’s Washington post. (This is today’s homework – read this article to get an appreciation of what this thing is going to cost.) Given the $2.3 to $2.5 trillion dollar price tag of this idiocy, instead of fining illegals, wouldn’t it be cheaper for the US to just pay illegals to leave? I shouldn’t even mention such a plan – even in jest. No doubt some greasy senate staffer is working on just such a plan.

A nation of immigrants

If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it hundreds of times since the congress sold out America on immigration – “After all we are a nation of immigrants.” I suppose that is true. But there is a word missing in that descriptive phrase. The word is legal. We are a nation of legal immigrants. One hundred years after they showed up in America, I can go to the Ellis Island web site and look up when and where my Grandpa and Grandma entered the country, when and from where they left Austria, what ship they were on, how much they paid for transit, how much money they had in their pockets when they arrived in the US, who sponsored them and where they lived after they arrived. We know absolutely nothing about the hoards crossing our southern border day after day. Isn't it odd that we know more about people coming into this country a hundred years ago through handwritten records than we do today with all of our computer sophistication.

Conservatives

Anyone who still thinks George Bush is a conservative – compassionate or otherwise – needs to have his head examined. Anyone who thought John McCain ever was conservative is equally thought challenged. Had McCain been lucky or a better pilot that fateful day over Vietnam, he’d have quietly retired from the Navy and not gone about destroying the First Amendment before setting about to destroy the fabric of the nation with an insane open borders program.

The center of gravity

AF Bro rightfully identified the center of gravity for Conservatives in this fight as KY Sen. Mitch McConnell. Click on the web form here and send him a simple message “No on comprehensive AMNESTY. Defend the homeland by securing our borders.”
