Thread: Open Border Group to Launch Nationwide Campaign

Read and listen to this claptrap and your motivation will skyrocket. Nasty attacks on those who oppose amnesty and are for real border security. I haven't listened to all the audio files, but in the first one it states "under the banner of border security, the anti-immigrant crowd is smuggling Communist theories into the discourse of the political right..."

We are launching a nationwide campaign defending the Bush administration’s approach to comprehensive immigration reform and those who support it.

The Senate’s failure to pass S. 1639 most obviously affects border security. Congress will enter 2008 without funding for additional fence, border agents, or holding beds, and a without a system of tamper-proof employee identification. The policy of the United States remains what it was: de facto amnesty along an uncontrolled border.

But the collateral damage to the conservative movement, largely self-inflicted, is also severe.

Morally, the popular and formal organs of the political Right invoked the civil infraction of crossing an unenforced border as the rationale for mass punishment of illegals and their employers – a punititve overkill of monumental proportions.

Economically, the popular and formal organs of the political Right invoked such Marxist canards as Ricardo’s iron law of wages and the fictitious decline of the middle class. The interests of the employers of illegals -- farmers, ranchers, food processors, service industries, high tech, and small business – were disregarded at best, deprecated at worst.
“Politically, the popular and formal organs of the political Right comported themselves as if 32 million Hispanic American citizens could be disregarded when discussing the fate of 12 million Hispanic illegals; and as if the demographics of the West and South were irrelevant.

A substantial portion of the political Right fell prey to the talk-radio-fed delusion that support for deportation of illegals exceeded support for their amnesty among the general public. The truth is precisely opposite, as polling by the Americas Majority Foundation has confirmed. By a margin of two-to-one, the American public prefers to amnesty illegal aliens, either as guest workers, or as eventual citizens.


The self-fed delusion of the unpopularity of Hispanic migrant labor led most of the informal organs of the political Right to attack those conservative, pro-Hispanic politicians of the South and West who harbored no such delusions. Regrettably, many of the formal organs of the political right followed suit. In the process, conservative prospects have been severely damaged in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, and Texas.

American citizens have spoken. NO AMNESTY!! NOT TODAY, TOMORROW, OR EVER!!

As Todd Beamer said......

They are deceptive, and their own polling is obviously suspect. And shame on them for playing the "since we can't deport 12-20 million illegals, we have to give them amnesty" card. We don't need to deport millions of them, if we enforce existing laws and engage in attrition through enforcement. The important point is we cannot let up and cannot allow these OBL shills to frame and define the debate. Remember this from Rasmussen:

"[i]The enforcement side of the debate is clearly where the public passion lies on the issue. Seventy-two percent (72%) of voters say it is Very Important for “the government to improve its enforcement of the borders and reduce illegal immigration.â€
