EXCLUSIVE: GOP LEADERSHIP IGNORES IMMIGRATION ENTIRELY IN TOWN HALL TALKING POINTS

Republican legislators have gotten their messaging instructions from their top leaders: Tout unpopular free-trade measures during the August recess, ignore popular curbs on the migration that saps Americans’ wages.

Breitbart News has exclusively obtained an internal August recess messaging instruction set for Republican legislators produced by Sen. John Thune (R-SD) , who orchestrates the GOP Senators’PR pitch. This 20-page messaging instruction manual seems to confirm prior reports by Breitbart News that Republican Congressional leadership has no plans to enact popular immigration reforms to curb large-scale migration.Each August, Senators and Congressmen return home to listen to constituents’ concerns and to tout the party’s actions in Washington. The recess is set to end Tuesday after Labor Day.

“In this packet you will find a number of resources to help you draw attention to our 2015 accomplishments,” Thune wrote to all 54 GOP Senators. “Please use the August recess to hold events in your state highlighting the work you’ve done and the successes we’ve achieved in the Senate,” he wrote. “Spread the word about [the Senate] getting back to work.”

“Back to work” is apparently the new messaging campaign for the Republican Congress. “Since taking the majority in January, the GOP-led Senate has been delivering real results for the American people, showing that ‘back to work’ is more than a campaign slogan – it’s actually happening,” writes a “Morning Messaging Memo” for Republican congressional staffers obtained by Breitbart News.

While Thune’s instructions urge GOP Senators to meet with business groups during the August recess to tout the GOP’s support for President Barack Obama’s unpopular free-trade treaties, the package ignores the issue that is dominating the national political dialogue and is popular amongst the GOP’s voter base– curbing the huge swell of Democrat-leaning migrants and guest-workers arriving in the United States.

Each year, the federal government invites roughly 3 million legal migrants and guest-workers to compete for jobs against the 4 million Americans who enter the workforce. They’re being invited into the United States by Obama, with the fervent support of the business interests that fund the Democratic and Republican political machines.

For months, migration has been at the forefront of the nation’s attention: reports documenting the compression of the middle class during the forty-year green card wave, the discovery that all net employment gains among women since the recession went to foreign workers, the unveiling of a nation-wide illegal migrant crime wave, the murder of Kate Steinle and the Senate Judiciary Commitee’s hearing on illegal migrant crime, the “Summer of Trump” whose rise to national prominence has been fueled by a campaign focused on immigration moderation, the Chattanooga shooting carried out by a Kuwaiti immigrant, the rampant use of the H-1B visa to supplant American workers with lower-wage foreigners, the overcrowding of schools where educational resources for black and Hispanic Americans have been significantly siphoned to provide benefits to illegal migrant kids who surged across the border last summer, and the blue-ward shift in the electoral landscape of formerly red states about by the federal government’s green card gusher.

Yet there is not a single mention of migration in Thune’s packet, even though 2014 polling data from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) showed popular migration reform would boost GOP support. The NRSC is responsible for helping GOP Senators win their elections.

The NRSC found that by greater than a 2-1 margin, African American voters would be more likely to support a Republican Senate candidate who messages on an migration policy that puts Americans back to work (63% vs. 25%). Women would support the Senate candidate by a 4-1 margin (72 percent vs. 17 percent). Women, who identified as Democrats, supported the platform by greater than a two to one margin (62 percent vs. 24 percent). Blue-collar voters making less than $50,000 per year support this populist migration stance by a four-to-one margin (70 percent vs. 16 percent).

Moreover, Hispanics agree with Republican voters. They support a populist labor policy– fewer migrants, higher wages– by a nearly 2-1 margin, 59 percent vs. 32 percent, according to the NRSC poll.

GOP leadership’s refusal to cut the huge inflow of foreign workers, however, is not for a lack of proposed legislation. Indeed, should Republican leadership choose to champion the American people’s priorities on migration reform, there are many bills that have been introduced by rank-and-file members of Congress which could be brought to a vote. For instance, Louisiana GOP Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) and Iowa Rep. Steve King (R-IA) have offered bills that would correct the current practice of awarding citizenship to the children of migrants, dubbed “anchor babies.” Roughly 340,000 foreign children gain U.S. citizenship via this method each year.

Freshman Congressman Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) has introduced a new bill that would “push the pause button on refugee resettlement,” that has led to the development of pockets of radicalized Muslim communities within the United States. One such community can be found in House Republican Conference Chairwoman Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA)
’ home state of Washington– where 25,000 girls are at risk of female genital mutilation as a result of unbridled Muslim immigration.Thune’s packet, however, does not showcase Babin’s popular immigration proposal.

Instead, the Thune packet advises Senators and their staff to set up photo opportunities and “design an event to show how the Senate’s accomplishments are directly benefiting folks at home.”

The package advises Senators and staffers to arrange a press event at their a local Chamber of Commerce to tout the passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which cedes Congress’ authority to negotiate trade deals to President Obama allowing for the speedy passage of unpopular trade agreements that will subject American sovereignty to governance of a global commission similar to the European Union.

The packet provides graphics promoting the passage of TPA:

The packet also reads in part:

THEME 4: Growing our nation’s economy

Example bills:

• Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act
• Trade Promotion Authority

Suggested venues:

• Local business
• Local Chamber of Commerce
• Farm, ranch, or factory

Suggested talking points:

• When Republicans took the majority in the Senate, we committed to passing policies that will create jobs and help grow the economy – in stark contrast to the Democrat-led Senate and the policies of the Obama administration.

Many Republican voters are skeptical of free trade deals. A recent YouGov poll shows that Republican voters—at higher rates than Democrats—think that free-trade agreements make U.S. wages lower, have resulted in job losses, and have hurt their household. A 2014 Pew Poll similarly found that Americans by more than a two-to-one margin believe free-trade deals reduce wages (45 percent vs. 17 percent); and believe that free-trade deals destroy jobs by nearly a three-to-one margin (55 percent vs. 20 percent).

In fact, the Republican presidential frontrunner, Donald Trump has seen a rise in the polls, in large part, due to his ability to distinguish himself from other GOP candidates the issue of trade through his emphasis on bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States and cracking down on the unfair trading practices of foreign competitors.

Republican leadership, however, is well aware that the position of its donors and corporatist interest groups are deeply disconnected from the views of everyday Republican voters on the issue of trade. As Breitbart News has previously reported, GOP pollster Frank Luntz has advised Republican lawmakers on “how to deceive Americans into believing the trade deal is a good thing—when even Luntz’s polling data shows widespread opposition to it.”

Luntz’s polling data– which was not intended to be available to the public– found that, “an overwhelming majority of Americans believe that ‘international trade’ benefits ‘other countries,’ not the United States. Luntz asked respondents: ‘Do free trade agreements [t]he U.S. has signed with other countries over the past 2 decades benefit other countries or the United States?’ A whopping 70 percent said other countries, while just 30 percent said the U.S.”

Based on this data, Luntz told Republicans on Capitol Hill that they ought to give globalist trade deals a “name change”: “International Trade’ Needs A Name Change… because they [the American people] associate it with benefiting other countries—not the U.S.”

This is why Trump needs to back away from a pledge to support the GOP nominee. He needs that leverage and he will need it for a long time in my opinion. This party of mine and ours in many cases is corrupt, it's working in collusion to promise one thing and do another. These liars, cheaters and traitors must be outsmarted and undone, and that requires .... LEVERAGE.

Trump has the leverage to clean up our party as well as fix our nation, and I hope he continues to use it.

I don't know where you find them, New Mexican, but these pics you post are wonderful! I enjoy every one of them tremendously!

Thank you! Proof that a pic is worth 1000 words.

Solid proof that the Republican party is not a party of Americans, by Americans or for Americans or America. Sure glad that I can boast about not voting for a damned one of them last November. Republicans are so transparent about not being middle class representation. That is one of the reasons they cannot attract the latimo vote!

I don't think that either party has the best interests of Americans at heart. The Democrats gave us NAFTA (Clinton), the EPA(Carter) The Department of education (Carter), Social Security moved to the General Fund (Johnson) The great society welfare program(Johnson) FEMA (Carter) and if the truth be told they gave us the '86 amnesty. Reagan signed it but it was a Democrat deal. The Republicans have given us DHS (Bush) NSA spying (Bush) The Gulf war (Bush Sr.) The invasion of Iraq (Bush W).

Actually NAFTA was a combined effort by Bush Sr and Clinton. Bush Sr started it and Clinton signed it.

NAFTA

Main article: North American Free Trade Agreement

From left to right: (standing) President Carlos Salinas, President Bush, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney; (seated) Jaime Serra Puche, Carla Hills, and Michael Wilson at the NAFTA Initialing Ceremony, October 1992

Bush's administration, along with the Progressive Conservative Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, spearheaded the negotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which would eliminate the majority of tariffs on products traded among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, to encourage trade amongst the countries. The treaty also restricts patents, copyrights, and trademarks, and outlines the removal of investment restrictions among the three countries.^[94]
The agreement came under heavy scrutiny amongst mainly Democrats, who charged that NAFTA resulted in a loss of American jobs.^[19] NAFTA also contained no provisions for labor rights; according to the Bush administration, the trade agreement would generate economic resources necessary to enable Mexico's government to overcome problems of funding and enforcement of its labor laws. Bush needed a renewal of negotiating authority to move forward with the NAFTA trade talks. Such authority would enable the president to negotiate a trade accord that would be submitted to Congress for a vote, thereby avoiding a situation in which the president would be required to renegotiate with trading partners those parts of an agreement that Congress wished to change.^[95] While initial signing was possible during his term, negotiations made slow, but steady, progress. President Clinton would go on to make the passage of NAFTA a priority for his administration, despite its conservative and Republican roots—with the addition of two side agreements—to achieve its passage in 1993.^[96]
The treaty has since been defended as well as criticized further. The American economy has grown 54% since the adoption of NAFTA in 1993, with 25 million new jobs created; this was seen by some as evidence of NAFTA being beneficial to the United States.^[97] With talk in early 2008 regarding a possible American withdrawal from the treaty, Carlos M. Gutierrez, current United States Secretary of Commerce, writes, "Quitting NAFTA would send economic shock waves throughout the world, and the damage would start here at home."^[97] But John J. Sweeney, President of the AFL-CIO, wrote in The Boston Globe that "the U.S. trade deficit with Canada and Mexico ballooned to 12 times its pre-NAFTA size, reaching $111 billion in 2004."^[98]
On January 8, 1992, Bush fainted after vomiting at a banquet hosted by the then Prime Minister of Japan, Kiichi Miyazawa. Bush was suffering from gastroenteritis.

W Bush gave is the Partnership for Prosperity (precursor of the North American Union) in 2001.

Allegations of a Plan or Blueprint under Bush

The "plan to create" a North American Union as a regional government—comprising a collective government for the United States, Canada, and Mexico—is "directly stated only" in the May 2005 task force report Building a North American Community published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Jerome Corsiwrote June 26, 2006.
The "blueprint" which President George W. Bush is following to create a North American Union was "laid out" in the May 2005 report, Corsi wrote May 19, 2006. "The CFR report connects the dots between the Bush administration's actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union."
Bush is "pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada," which, Corsi wrote, is "the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy."
The plan, Corsi wrote, is "contained" in the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, "little noticed" by the mainstream media when President Bush, Mexico's President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "created it" March 23, 2005, in a summit held at Waco, Texas.
A North American Union is being created "through a process of governmental regulations" and without ever "having to bring the issue before the American people for a clear referendum or vote," Corsi wrote May 24, 2006.
Partnership for Prosperity

"In September of 2001, during President Bush's first state visit, President Bush and President Fox launched the Partnership for Prosperity, a private-public alliance to harness the power of the private sector to foster an environment in which no Mexican feels compelled to leave his home for lack of jobs or opportunity."—Office of NAFTA and Inter-American Affairs [1]
SPP Working Groups

"Canada has established an SPP working group within their Foreign Affairs department," Corsi reported May 30, 2006. "Mexico has placed the SPP within the office of the Secretaria de Economia and created an extensive website for the Alianza Para La Securidad y La Prosperidad de Améica del Norte (ASPAN). On this Mexican website, ASPAN is described as 'a permanent, tri-lateral process to create a major integration of North America.'"
NAFTA Super-Highways

"What is objectionable is the plan to form a European Union-style North American Super-Highway system whose primary goal is to establish trilateral links for the open passage of freight transportation and the virtually unrestrained 'migration' of people among the three countries. Building NAFTA Super-Highways that effectively erase the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada is a concern, especially if the NAFTA Super-Highways contribute to accomplishing in a de facto manner the integration of the United States into a North American Union, thereby threatening the currently established sovereignty of the United States," Corsi wrote June 30, 2006.
Permanent Tribunal

"The CFR plan clearly calls for the establishment of a 'permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution' as part of the new regional North American Union (NAU) governmental structure that is proposed to go into place in 2010," Corsi wrote June 19, 2006. This tribunal would "trump" the U.S. Supreme Court.
Biometric Border Pass

"Instead of stopping North Americans on the borders, we ought to provide them with a secure, biometric Border Pass that would ease transit across the border like an E-Z pass permits our cars to speed through toll booths," Robert A. Pastor told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, June 9, 2005.
North American Emergency Management

North American Emergency Management (NAEM) is one of the priority initiatives set forth in the March 31, 2006, White House news release and the fact sheetposted on the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America website.
The function of NAEM would be similar to that of FEMA's operations during Hurricane Katrina. In his September 20, 2005, article "Glimpse Into The Future Of Global Collectivism - FEMA: Katrina," Chris Gupta wrote:
"The primary job of the military, FEMA, and Homeland Security is not to protect the American people in times of emergency but to protect the government in times of emergency and keep it functioning. Their primary assignment is, not to rescue people, but to control them. Their directive is to relocate families and businesses, confiscate property, commandeer goods, direct labor and services, and establish martial law. The reason FEMA and Homeland security failed to carry out an effective rescue operation [for Hurricane Katrina] is that this was not their primary mission, and the reason they blocked others from doing so is that any operations not controlled by the central authority are contrary to their directives. Their objective was to bring the entire area under the control of the federal government - and this they succeeded in doing very well. They did not fail in New Orleans. They were a huge success. Once this simple fact is understood, everything that happened in the wake of Katrina becomes understandable and logical."If there are new terrorist attacks against the United States or Great Britain (or any other country), what we witnessed in New Orleans may have been a glimpse into the future of global collectivism."Bilateral and Trilateral Partnerships and Agreements

Integrate This! is about challenging the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), an executive-level pact between the governments and corporate sectors of Canada, the United States and Mexico, which has never been debated publicly or voted on in any of the three countries. There areover 300 initiatives in the SPP aimed at harmonizing North American policies on:

• 
  
  • 
    
    • food,
    • drugs,
    • Security & Civil Liberties
    • immigration,
    • refugees,
    • manufacturing,
    • the environment & public health.

But media reports often fail to link regulatory changes designed to move the SPP forward back to the broader goal of continental economic and security integration. The goal of the Integrate This! website is to make those links. As well as regular SPP updates, the site is full of reports, interviews and multimedia presentations critical of what's often called the "deep integration" of North America.

I think there is enough blame to go around for the position that we find ourselves in. Greedy professional politicians have chipped away for their own gain for decades. Professional politicians only have one way to make money and it is not through building anything other than their pay off base. JMO
