Go Mitt Go!

Look at it this way. If I had to jump from a really tall building because it was on fire, I wouldn’t brag that my choice to jump to my death was a good one. I just decided to splat instead of burn.

Tancredo actually endorsed Romney, as did Sheriff Joe and Pat Buchanan’s sis, all rightious dudes and dudettes.

Don’t forget DeMint, who together with Sessions led the fight against Amnesty in the Senate last year. You can’t trust Mitt’s own words, but if so many outstanding people endorse him that HAS to stand for something more than “it’s not Amnesty my friend”.

It’s much much more than a mistake when our leaders decide to do the same damned thing again and expect it to turn out differently.

They don’t expect it to turn out differently and that’s the point. Juan is a liar, he isn’t THAT stupid.

As an “animal lover” I don’t especially like this saying but, “You kill the Chicken to scare the Monkey”.

See your point. I like monkeys more than chickens so I’m OK with the analogy.

No, it’s not.

That pig, Geraldo, is not only a pig but a punk. And that’s his strong suit. And Bill O’Reilly is spineless for not sticking up for a co-worker, Michelle, who was personally attacked by another co-worker, machismo Geraldo, world famous woman insulter. I, for one, have rarely watched the Factor since. No, Michelle wasn’t fired, she stood by her principles. Michelle is due a proper and public apology from both gentlemen (and I use the term loosely).

But today’s appearance was as great as always. Michelle “owns’ the immigration story. Read her books.

Bryan said:

If McCain had any shame, he wouldn’t use that story to argue that, essentially, US immigration law doesn’t mean anything because one soldier was married to an illegal alien. But he uses it nevertheless.

McCain is a RINO (republican in name only). His stance on ILLEGAL immigration is that amnesty should be granted. I am 100% with Michelle on this issue (and most issues) and am 100% against McCain on the issue of immigration and most other issues as well.

Thanks again – please post on all amnesty threads. It’s a great analysis, of a different kind.

Just heard on the radio, on the way home, that in LA, on New Year’s eve, a 49 year old non-Latino was hit by an illegal Latino and killed. The perpetrator vanished. A plea went out to the Latino radio stations and no action yet. Calls are out to Villaraigosa, the LA mayor to help find this guy. PC is enabling the newspapers, radio stations and all other to not help. No justice, no nothing, just PC. KFI 640 AM, John and Ken are all over it now, and are soliciting help. I’ll go find names and post a bit later, in more detail.

They get most of their funding, I guess, from individuals who are trying to gain influence for things like tax policy or industry regulation. Same thing for Mitt and for the Dems. The Dems are out-raising the GOP, not because Wall St. has some principled affinity for Dems, but because they are favored to win and campaign contributions to Obama or Hillary are more likely to yield results for a lot of government actions that the general public is little aware of.

Yes, but if you want to support a Republican, now you have a choice: are you more interested in free trade or importing illegals? I’m not saying that “free trade” is ALL good, but the choice of who to support if you care about the outcome based on your economic interest is clear.

And hell yes businesses who employ criminal aliens should face fines and the owners / CEO should look at jail time. It’s a freaking crime and a huge part of our economic problems in the US.

Reagan got talked into granting amnesty to 3 million illegals in 1986 with the promise that illegal immigration would be stopped. It wasn’t, it never is as long as you keep granting amnesty and sweat shop owners keep hiring illegals. Reagan later regretted signing the amnesty bill when he saw it for the lie it was but 21 years later we have a Republican President who wants to give 12 million illegals amnesty using the same damned lie.

What is worse is that Republicans are actually voting for amnesty shills such as Giuliani, McCain, and Huckabee while the most “conservative” of the bunch is Mitt Romney. What is much worse is that supposedly stalwart conservatives such as Tancredo and Hunter (Fred, don’t you dare) are endorsing these guys.

I think I’m going to visit Ronald Reagan’s grave and just listen to him spinning at 10,000 rpm over all of this. He made a mistake on amnesty once before but it was a mistake. It’s much much more than a mistake when our leaders decide to do the same damned thing again and expect it to turn out differently. Does anyone know what that is called?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

John McCain has a brain disease. He sucks and he’s retarded. He’s also a liberal.

Yup, that’s our Juan!

And you only mentioned his best qualities!

You are still going to have the cash-only operators, and there are a lot of those that are “mom & pop” businesses or families that hire nannies or baby sitters.

If some of the big boy serf masters are held to account and some of the “mom & pop” small fry serf masters and some of the “nannie” small fry serf masters are held to account that will scare most of the rest.

Any left will be manageable/fineable/arrestable/sueable in their much reduced numbers.

Let’s find out.

We certainly won’t if Juan Plantation McVano becomes el Presidente, of course.

Publically traded companies can hire subcontractors who are not as careful. Where do you think McCain and Huckabee get the financial support that they do (especially Maverick)? From the guy who gets a couple of illegals to help him dig a ditch in his back yard?

Sure thing. I’d think that publicly traded companies currently abide by the immigration status check that is required. I’m in favor of real-time databases and biometric id cards that make it more accurate and less burdensome to screen employees.

How about deporting, after a long prison sentence, those who have killed the mother, sister, wife, girl friend or child of some Soldier or Marine serving in Iraq or Afghanistan?

you are right that there is no statute of limitations for murder, paying back taxes, or other things the government deems very serious.

dedalus on January 24, 2008 at 7:58 PM

Heh. Well said.

The federal government can’t secure the border but you want to put the burden on private business? What is the government doing with $3 trillion we already give it?

You’ll always have millions who will find living via the cash-only economy preferable to moving back to their original country.

dedalus on January 24, 2008 at 7:55 PM

Private business will do it a lot more efficiently than the federal government. Hiring an illegal is an economic decision. They only way to stop it is if the consequences of choosing to do it are not worse than not doing it.

This is not any different than relying on people to do their own taxes (or at least arranging for them to be done) and selective audits of a very small minority. Yes, there is cheating, but mostly taxes get collected.

Come on now. You get my point. We are talking about hypocracy. And for provable homocide I don’t believe there is a statute of limitations. But I’m not a lawyer. I just play one on Hotair.

You play a lawyer very well, and you are right that there is no statute of limitations for murder, paying back taxes, or other things the government deems very serious.

Deporting someone other than the soldier’s widow would be a good place to start.

dedalus on January 24, 2008 at 7:43 PM

That would be a small start anyway.

A law suit against the plantation “employer” who aided and abetted them by drawing them up here would be nice too.

If the plantation “employers” were not allowed to employe their illegal serfs, most of them would probably go back home as if not for them most of the illegals would not likely even have come here.

Let’s find out anyway.

Impose TOUGH, and progressively TOUGHER employer sanctions. Fine a couple of small employers with HEAVY fines, enough to put them out of business. Make a couple of CEOs of large employers go to prison. Introduce an easy to use SSN verification system. The problem will resolve itself in no time at all.
