Reply #43: Immigration Woes [View All]

If we really cared about the illegal immigrants that are coming from Mexico, we'd help the Mexican population get Mexico to clean up its act.

Republicans want a cheaper labor force. Democrats want votes. And, its a win-win. Democrats get the votes whether we have comprehensive immigration reform or not.

Without it, we get the talking point. Vote for us, not those racist, bigoted, republicans. We care. Eventually, we'll do immigration reform.

Blah, Blah, Blah.

Republicans...just want to continue depressing wages. And, as soon as we legalize the 12 million or 20 million, or however the heck many millions of illegal immigrants, we'll get a new batch. Because once illegal immigrants become legal, they want what Americans would have demanded to do the same jobs. Better benefits and higher wages. It never stops.

Here is Ted Kennedy commenting on the 1965 immigration bill,Quote
“The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission.”

Ted Kennedy on the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Bill, Quote:
“This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.”

Ted Kennedy(2007) on the McCain/Kennedy immigration proposal, Quote:
“The plan will strengthen our borders and our national security while providing a tough but fair path to citizenship for millions of people.”

What is the definition of insanity?
