Dobbs: New immigration plan ignores history's lessons
quote:


Most beguiling among those merchants of mendacity is none other than Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who has been peddling his wares at the Senate bazaar for more than four decades. Kennedy's counterfeit immigration views reach all the way back to his championship of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

In signing that legislation into law, President Lyndon Johnson promised it would not be revolutionary or affect the lives of millions, even as it overturned 60 years of U.S. immigration policy of national origin quotas and led to the creation of explosive chain migration.

Twenty-one years later, President Ronald Reagan signed into law amnesty for more than three million illegal aliens who had entered the country. President Reagan then promised the new employer sanctions would "remove the incentive for illegal immigration by eliminating the job opportunities," and that the law's amnesty provision would allow millions who were hiding in the shadows to "step into the sunlight."

And now, another 21 years later, we hear the same language as the pro-amnesty and open borders advocates demand that American citizens ignore history, reason and the national interest. They are again marketing the same false assurances about border enforcement and insist there will be no social or economic cost to the taxpayer or the nation. More than four decades of disruptive and destructive immigration policy initiatives should be a sufficient history lesson for all Americans.

Word is that President Bush made a personal phone call to Rush Limbaugh trying to convince him to support this amnesty bill. Rush didn't bite.

I think it is just a sign that perhaps we are starting to see a break between the GOP and the conservative base. The party is in serious trouble. I was listening to one political analyst earlier today and he said this one bill has the potential to ruin the Republican party. At this rate, the only people that will be left in the GOP are elitists and corporate fat cats.

Even more alarming is that Republicans are trying to get media outlets to change their opinions on this bill. Which means the politicians really dont give a damn about what the voters think. They want to try to change the voter's minds. And government doesn't work that way. The Congress is supposed to be representing the voters....not the other way around.

So you're a Democrat now? What fun is that. Are they going to represent your views? And if the GOP splits, will the resulting DNC supermajority make you happy? Repair the Elephant, and let the Left split.

Go Ralph Nader, yay.

They just said on the news that Congressman John Boehmer today called this amnesty Bill; * "A PIECE OF SHIT!"*
LMAO!  I wonder if he wants to run for President?
Now THAT'S the kind of honesty we NEED in Washington!

I never said I am a Democrat. But over the past 3 years, I can't really claim to be a Republican either.

They said on the News that The Constitution Party is now the number 3 party in terms of registration.

I'm really surprised they've been as loyal as they have. He sure doesn't deserve it. I would have expected full-on and open revolt by now.

Cyberdude, if that's true it's all over for Bush's amnesty Bill!
Man, that guy just does not listen!
All his so called "supporters" are dropping like flies.
Fred Thompson and Guiliani came out against it today!

This bill ignores/repeats history, because it isn't that 'new' at all... just a continuation of the series of 'guestworker' laws in place since the 1920s.
