Rubio’s amnesty plan is a path to oblivion for the GOP
The Democrats never change their ideas; they change the voters. For decades, Democrats have been working feverishly to create more Democrats by encouraging divorce (another Democratic voter!), illegitimacy (another Democratic voter!) and Third World immigration (another Democratic voter!). …
Rubio’s bill is nothing but amnesty. It isn’t even “amnesty thinly disguised as border enforcement.” This is a wolf in wolf’s clothing. …
Even under Rubio’s scheme, all the children born to the 11 million newly legalized illegals will be instant citizens, able to collect welfare for their whole families and vote as soon as they are old enough.
Which won’t be long: The vast majority of illegal aliens are Hispanic, and Hispanics have a higher teen birthrate than any other ethnic group. In California, a majority of all Hispanic births are illegitimate. That’s a lot of Democratic voters coming.
And look how great that’s turned out! With Hispanics on track to become the largest ethnic group in California this year, the state that gave us Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan is incapable of electing any Republican statewide anymore. Taxes keep going up, and there’s no one left to pay the bill.

I think the GOP is on a path to oblivion anyway they’re just arguing about what method they should use to get the deed done.
bannor on January 31, 2013 at 8:06 AM
Ann Coulter’s face is a path to oblivion.
Seriously – her answer is to nominate squishes like Chris Christie – who she’s in LOVE with!
For real man – what kind of chick gets a crush on Jabba the Hut? Is Ann now going to don a Princess Leia slave girl outfit.
Also – didn’t she defend RomneyCare?
HondaV65 on January 31, 2013 at 8:09 AM
Does anyone disagree with what she says here?
Dongemaharu on January 31, 2013 at 8:15 AM
Her points are valid, regardless of what you may think of her. Adding D voters isn’t a reason not to do the right thing, but it lengthens the road to R recovery… if there is one.
MT on January 31, 2013 at 8:16 AM
Yawn. Christie wants his sammich, Ann. Be a good girl, and go get it.
tommy71 on January 31, 2013 at 8:17 AM
I don’t. Although Ann’s choice of candidates leaves much to be desired, her analysis here seems spot on. Certainly those commenters insulting her didn’t even try to refute her. But then, that happens a lot.
tommyboy on January 31, 2013 at 8:21 AM
More to the point.
OldEnglish on January 31, 2013 at 8:27 AM
I see quite a few posts blasting Ann without addressing her issues. That’s not what conservatives do. She’s spot on, regardless of her presidential pick. Let’s stop griping about her obsession with Christie. We’ve got bigger fish to fry.
Living4Him5534 on January 31, 2013 at 8:35 AM
Of course the argument’s good. The problem is, Coulter’s the one making the argument. She doesn’t have much credibility left. I’ll bet she could’ve written a mean article against RomneyCare about 3 years ago, too. If Christie were to come out tomorrow for straight-up amnesty, Coulter would be praising that move. Betcha.
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 8:36 AM
Sure it is. There’s such a thing as a “good faith argument”.
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 8:38 AM
Hee, keep it coming Ann! This article is blowing up on Facebook amongst my liberal friends. Almost Todd Akin like. So easy to paint the GOP as anti-Latino when you have columns which echo turn of the 20th century nativism. LOL!
libfreeordie on January 31, 2013 at 8:44 AM
That seems to be the fly in the ointment. Eventually, the Dims succeed in creating so many entitlement-dependent types that the whole system collapses.
Then what? The Dims think they’ll get to build a “new world order” — with the self-anointed Dim “elites” in control of it, of course — but the millions of Dim voting sheep are still going to want all their “free” stuff. And there still are not going to be enough working stiffs around to provide it for them. Which means the Dim “elites” will need to thin the grasping Dim herd, in order to keep themselves in power. And we all know how efficient the “progressives” are when it comes to thinning the herd. History is full of bloody examples.
AZCoyote on January 31, 2013 at 8:46 AM
I like Coulter. She is right more often than she is wrong, and, boy, can she turn a phrase. She also admits when she makes mistakes.
Butthurt Palinistas are still smarting over the fact that Coulter wasn’t afraid to call out Sarah Palin as a gimmicky candidate. We see some of these Palin cultists pop up here now and then. Deal with it, Palin-worshipers!
This is a beautiful, trenchant, necessary column. Kudos to Coulter!
bluegill on January 31, 2013 at 8:52 AM
When pressed by O’Reilly to give more than her usual clichéd platitudes, Sarah Palin had to admit that her immigration policy position was almost identical to Rubio’s.
When it comes to defending our borders and enforcing immigration laws, I will take TED CRUZ any day over McCain-lite Rubio and not-ready-for-primetime, cliche-spewing Palin.
bluegill on January 31, 2013 at 8:56 AM
Rubio doesn’t care about the GOP or America – he just wants to live in the White House, and he thinks she can get there by pandering to liberals and illegals.
Pork-Chop on January 31, 2013 at 9:01 AM
The Palinhater is here. Has nothing to do with Coulter or her subject, but spewing the same hate as before.
tommy71 on January 31, 2013 at 9:02 AM
Countries generally have borders and citizens. True, it is an old concept. I guess your liberal friends don’t care about either.
Dongemaharu on January 31, 2013 at 9:04 AM

Pork-Chop on January 31, 2013 at 9:06 AM
Whoah. Guess who showed up and started in on the obsessive Palin non-sequiturs. Wait, what was the topic?
Dongemaharu on January 31, 2013 at 9:07 AM
It was fine the first time.
OldEnglish on January 31, 2013 at 9:08 AM
It would be nice if someone noticeably seemed to care more about doing the right thing rather than politically angling for the presidency.
Dongemaharu on January 31, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Yes, concepts such as national borders and national sovereignty and respect for the rule of law are sooooo last century, dude!
Everybody can live anywhere they want! And everybody is entitled to have all their health care needs, all their education needs, all their housing needs, all their food needs, etc., paid for by somebody else!
It’s the 21st century, dude! We don’t need no stinkin’ laws, and we don’t need no stinkin’ borders! They just kill our buzz! Give us more Honey Boo-Boo and Kim Kardashian, and don’t stand in the way of our new flat-screen t.v.’s that we paid for with our EBT cards!
AZCoyote on January 31, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Everything about you is racist isn’t it? Get up off your a$$ and do something for yourself rather than relying on big brother for handouts. Give me a cogent argument about why citizens of other countries should be allowed here illegaly!
Vince on January 31, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Coulter cut right to the chase. This is all about making new Democrat voters. It’s such a joke to think that Republicans will benefit at all from this kind of amnesty. The illegal aliens need to get in line like everyone else. END. OF. STORY.
We must stop this hideous amnesty effort and elect a president in 2016 who will enforce immigration law. Pence? Cruz?
bluegill on January 31, 2013 at 9:10 AM
Let me ask you something. Do you really think everything is OK? Do you believe leftist ideals will build the utopia that you imagine, or is it just about victory, even if it’s a pyrrhic one? I ask this because I will concede defeat. The left has won, but now you must govern. Do you realize that there will be a price to pay if you’re wrong, and for most it will be personal as well as public.
DFCtomm on January 31, 2013 at 9:11 AM
Amnesty is game over for the USA. It’s teetering on the edge of oblivion right now.
I trust Rubio and McCain to take us right over the edge.
CorporatePiggy on January 31, 2013 at 9:18 AM
Has she admitted her mistake in backing such a spectacular political loser as Romney?
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 9:20 AM
She wasn’t even a candidate. However, Coulter is also a gimmicky writer. When Christie comes out for amnesty expect a “Three Cheers for Immigration Reform” article from Coulter.
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 9:23 AM
2,980,602 look at Ann Coulter? Neh, she still has a hard on for Chris Christie and worked feverishly to foist the loser Romney on us.
While she is right, it is not like this stuff is not already known and out there.
Get back to work lady, Chris needs more food to keep that weight on.
astonerii on January 31, 2013 at 9:24 AM
I think you meant to say your liberals friends on Facebook are blowing each other.
xblade on January 31, 2013 at 9:30 AM
Wrong column, Ann. It should be “Three cheers for Amnesty.”
HerneTheHunter on January 31, 2013 at 9:31 AM
Sad that some of you would rather bash a fellow conservative and make silly comments like than comment on the substance of what Coulter is saying. This place is worse than DailyKos sometimes.
bluegill on January 31, 2013 at 9:31 AM
For the love of our Father in Heaven, what the f**k has this got to do with Sarah Palin?
HerneTheHunter on January 31, 2013 at 9:33 AM
bluegill on January 31, 2013 at 9:31 AM
You crazy ass contemptible insufferable b****.
HerneTheHunter on January 31, 2013 at 9:36 AM
Speaking of California, have Leftists acknowledged the Latino/black ethnic cleansing that is happening in the Compton area yet? I’d be interested in hearing their take.
visions on January 31, 2013 at 9:36 AM
Don’t you read your memos? Everything fiscal is Bush’s fault, everything else is Palin’s fault.
OldEnglish on January 31, 2013 at 9:37 AM
Coulter damaged her own credibility irreversibly by supporting Chris Christie and Mitt Romney for the presidency. I could get on board much faster with her hatred for amnesty if she didn’t support candidates who support amnesty.

Wow, moochers don’t like being called moochers. Whodathunkit?
tommyboy on January 31, 2013 at 9:43 AM
I did bluegill, too bad you were not neutral in your reading, or you might have noticed that I did comment on the substance of what she said. You will almost never find me just simply attacking someone without addressing why they are worthy of said derision.
I am not a piffy writer, I am more of a bloviator.
astonerii on January 31, 2013 at 9:43 AM
Kind of immature how you hold grudges against, and misrepresent the views of, certain columnists who have expressed different opinions than you.
“Oh, no! I can’t read so-and-so’s article without griping about how they wrote a column last year that I disagreed with! I can only bear to hear from people who say the same things I do at all times. Any deviance from my definition of true conservatism requires immediate shunning from all who are proud to call themselves True Conservatives like me. And watch while I make lame jokes about Ann Coulters looks now.” – common HotAir commenter
bluegill on January 31, 2013 at 9:53 AM
If this were Christies plan, she’d be tripping over herself defending it and trying to convince us to fall in line.
portlandon on January 31, 2013 at 9:54 AM
How did he misrepresent?
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 9:56 AM
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 9:56 AM
Why indulge the woman? I like crazy but am not gonna invite them over for dinner.
HerneTheHunter on January 31, 2013 at 10:00 AM
What did I misrepresent? Ann Coulter isn’t dumb. She knew exactly what she was doing when she sacrificed her principles for political expediency viz-a-vis Romneycare. I think you are misrepresenting her views in order to defend her.
Palin didn’t run, she won’t run in 2016, and despite all your protests to the contrary, I’m okay with that. Still, Sarah Palin has more integrity in her pinky finger than Ann Coulter showed throughout the entire 2012 campaign.
gryphon202 on January 31, 2013 at 10:00 AM
What makes you so sure? I don’t know what she’ll do.
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 10:03 AM
Because after everything her family went through before she declared one way or another, I think she’d be stupid to put them through it again, especially after the unmitigated disaster of a two-term Obama presidency. I don’t believe that Palin is stupid, ergo I am all but positive she will not run in 2016. Anyway, the great white hope of conservatism won’t hail from the GOP.
gryphon202 on January 31, 2013 at 10:05 AM
Maybe she doesn’t agree with you. *shrug*
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 10:08 AM
I’m even more positive that she wants to take it to the GOPe. And she will. Hide and watch.
ddrintn on January 31, 2013 at 10:09 AM
Maybe she does, maybe she doesn’t. But all that is assuming there will even be an election in 2016. Wanna talk about worst-case scenarios…?
