The Left’s New Immigration Talking Points

The left has learned a lot from their past immigration losses. Responding to Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) immigration hearing last week, New Democratic Networks’ Simon Rosenberg unveils the left’s new talking points on the issue and they are amazing. We’ve responded to them below:

1) Illegal Immigration and Labor Supply - Rosenberg writes:

Legalizing the five percent of the work force that is undocumented would create a higher wage and benefit floor than exists today for all workers … what you hear from some of the opponents of immigration reform is that by passing reform, all of these immigrants will come and take the jobs away of everyday Americans. But again, the undocumented immigrants are already here, working, having kids, supporting local businesses. Legalization does not create a flood of new immigrants.

Legalization absolutely would create a flood of new immigrants. The 1986 immigration reform granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegal aliens and sent the message that we are not serious about enforcing our immigration laws. By 2006 the number of illegal immigrants in this country had risen to 20 million.

2) Illegal Immigration and Federal Deficits - Rosenberg writes:

Putting the undocumented population on the road to citizenship will also increase tax revenue in a time of economic crisis, as the newly legal immigrants will pay fees and fines, and become fully integrated into the U.S. tax-paying system.

This assumes that these individuals will not take anymore social services than they do as illegals. But with an unemployment rate of 8.5% it is difficult to assume that people that are largely high-school dropouts would be able to get jobs with millions of Americans looking for work. In reality, they are more likely to be on unemployment. Furthermore, statistics that are used to show they would bring more money fail to recognize the cost of providing entitlements like Social Security and Medicare to 11 million more people—already broken systems. Overall, amnesty will cost taxpayers at least $2.6 trillion.

3) Illegal Immigration and Border Violence - Rosenberg writes:

Tackling the growing influence of the drug cartels in Mexico is going to be hard, cost a great deal of money, and take a long time. One quick and early step toward calming the region will be to take decisive action on clearing up one piece of the problem — the vast illegal trade in undocumented migrants.

We do need to reform our immigration system. But not through an amnesty which is what most of the left calls “comprehensive immigration reform.â€

I fear for my life, my family's lives, and the very existence of this great country. As it has been proven to us since the election of a Democrat-socialist congress and socialist president, they are after our heads. The perfect storm is the culmination of decades of attacks upon the American race. First, attack all of the established societal norms by perverting the education system with radical teachers, librarians, and administrators. Next, pervert the churches, government, the police, and the military to conform to these radical, anti-American ideals. At the same time, alter the basic structure of society by mainstreaming perverted behaviors such as same-sex marriage and sex with children. And finally, bury the approx. 30-40% of the US population that refuse to go along with this plan by infusing this country with third-world immigrants, usually of color, to steal the wealth and future of the country and make any resistance futile as it will be marked as racist.

This plan is in high gear with the current amnesty proposal for an estimated 20-25 million illegal aliens in the US. This third and final attempt to destroy the fabric of the country follows on the heels of the 1965 and 1986 legislation that tore down the concept of secure borders. Coupled with the "Homeland Security" department that has laser focused on Americans of all walks of life as "Domestic Terrorists", the trap has been long set and is now sprung. One only needs to review the past century for what happens if you are the wrong person at the wrong time in the wrong place. It is not beyond the pale that a large number of American citizens' lives are at risk and many of our so-called leaders wouldn't mind having their own countrymen's blood on their hands.
