CBO: Immigration Reform Will be 75% Ineffective!

Illegals bill stems traffic only 25%

The Senate’s immigration bill will cut annual illegal immigration by just 25 percent, and the bill’s new guest-worker program could lead to at least 500,000 more illegal aliens within a decade, Congress’ accounting arm said yesterday.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said in its official cost estimate that many guest workers will overstay their time in the plan, with the number totaling a half-million in 2017 and reaching 1 million a decade later. “We anticipate that many of those would remain in the United States illegally after their visas expire,” CBO said of the guest-worker program.

How’s THAT for a plan to solve the problem? Your tax dollars at work..er…well, at least being spent.

Establishmentarians Weigh in on Immigration

Wealthy donors fund immigration movement

Wealthy philanthropic foundations are helping bankroll the pro-immigration movement, while groups advocating for tighter control of U.S. borders say they take a more grassroots approach to raising money. The Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation and Democratic activist George Soros, among other liberal funders, have donated millions of dollars to pro-immigration groups, as the Senate continues its debate on a contentious bill that would overhaul the nation’s immigration policy.

Three of the nation’s biggest and most influential pro-immigration groups — the National Immigration Forum, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF, and the National Council of La Raza, or NCLR — collectively received more than $3.25 million from Ford Foundation since 2005.

Yep. We get the best government money can buy!

Prez, Other RINOS on Road to Political Ruin

The Demise of the Republican Party

The Chief, along with others, has previously posted on this issue, and no less than the WaPo has come out and proclaimed “No big deal, politics as usual”, noting an apparent decline in complaints about the Immigration Reform Bill Kennedy-McCainiac Mexican Migration Promotion Act. In one sense they may be right…

Congress’s week-long Memorial Day recess was expected to leave the bill in tatters. But with a week of action set to begin today, the legislation’s champions say they believe that the voices of opposition, especially from conservatives, represent a small segment of public opinion. Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), who led negotiations on the bill for his party, said the flood of angry calls and protests that greeted the deal two weeks ago has since receded every day.

HELLOOOOO? How many times is someone going to call up? It stands to reason that the number of complaint calls would taper off as more and more people have already registered their discontent with the direction of this attack on our national sovereignty.

Meanwhile, the pot is still simmering, and the RINOS and others of their ilk are unwilling to accept the reality of the GOP sputtering along on one engine, getting ready to take that big nose-dive into the tarmac.

The firestorm of public outcry against the proposed immigration bill is testimony enough that the Senate and the House need to be reminded that selling out the nation is a very bad idea. There are very good reasons why nations have borders.

What a concept! Borders, language, culture!

The bill is just one more way the Republican Party demonstrated that it has been steadily abandoning its fundamental principles. In essence, the Party has stood for sovereignty, the free market, fiscal prudence, private property, and small government. It was a party that historically has been reluctant to be drawn into foreign wars.

This is what drives the Chief to distraction!

Victor Gold, who was a press aide to Barry Goldwater and a speechwriter in George H.W. Bush’s administration, has a new book out, The Invasion of the Party Snatchers, that is a virtual call for the death and reconstruction of the GOP:

Gold makes no bones about it. He wants the present GOP to die so it can be born again to its former principles. The elections of 2008 are likely to bring out masses of Democrats who feel rejuvenated by the failures and missteps of the White House and the GOP. The recently reported falloff of financial support for the GOP, estimated to be as high as forty percent, might actually suggest they’re doing something wrong.

More than a few Republicans who simply do not want to live in an America that intrudes into the most private decisions of people’s lives, that throws overboard the Constitutional protections of privacy, judicial protections, and whose elected representatives have engaged in an orgy of spending, are desperately seeking real conservative leadership.

Hear, hear!

Citing severe problems with the administration and Cong GOP on the immigration issue, the Prez’s recent reversal on GlowBull warming, Cong fiscal irresponsibility, and dubious appointments (Harriet Myers, Alberto Gonzales), lead to what more and more looks like an inevitable conclusion:

Gold reflects the widespread feeling that elected Republicans no longer have any regard for the voters. “I’d just like to know there were still Republican senators around who didn’t think of the people who elected them as knuckle-walking Pleistocene morons.” This can, of course, be extended to Democrats as well.

Gold warns that what has been passed off as a new kind of conservative politics under the aegis of the neo-cons and the pressures of evangelical groups is “merely a recycled model of the old Liberal politics that led to the decline and fall of the Democratic Party in the 1960s.”

We are left to wonder how long it will take for those who regard themselves as Republicans to desert today’s GOP, mostly by refusing to vote for its candidates,

F.E.T.E.

Practical NewSpeak at Work

Redefining the Past To Shape the Future

If you ever find yourself asking “how did the land of the free and home of the brave lose respect for it’s foundation and become a nation of wimps and losers always in search of government solutions to personal problems?”, you might start here in your search for the answer.

America has been slowly but systematically and certainly redefined to the point that current generations struggle to understand what America is now. They can’t decide if it’s friend or foe, a beacon of light or a symbol of evil. America has lost its collective soul, but not by accident.

After going on and citing specifics on this political rebranding, a cautionary conclusion is reached:

The generations before handed us the greatest nation on earth built upon principles nobody seems to like anymore. A generation that follows will one day look back through history and see that our generations threw it all away.

Then another generation will rediscover the real America that once led the world in every respect and they will build it once again, on the same principles that made it great the first time.

And they will hold us, all of us, in contempt for what we have allowed to happen to the greatest society of free people ever known to mankind.

But what the hell…It’s just politics…right?

Getting Ready for the Bug-out Boogie

Iraqis: Take us with you

With pressure building in Washington for an American troop pullout, Iraqis who have worked closely with U.S. companies and military forces are begging their employers for assurances that they will be able to leave with them.

This gives the Chief a REALLY bad feeling…not that these good guys are trying to set up a bolt-hole if the SHTF (see Site Jargonology), but that with the goings on of the Donk Copperheads in Congress and elsewhere, they feel the need to do so.

When the Americans leave, all those who worked with them “must leave also,” said another woman who has been forced to move to Jordan. She asked that her name not be used in order to protect her extended family still living in Baghdad.

Americans and other Westerners rely on Iraqi men and women who serve as interpreters, engineers, repairmen, security guards, computer and telecommunications technicians, drivers, cooks, cleaners and so on. Private security companies and contractors working to support the military and rebuild Iraq’s teetering infrastructure also employ thousands of locals.

Unfortunately, this is not an inappropriate fear based on this expression of the state of mind of the administration.

Many have risked their lives on a daily basis for years to get to work and to protect their U.S. colleagues. But American officials say it is unlikely that the United States will open its doors to all of them. “They are not going to the United States,” Command Sgt. Maj. Jeff Mellinger told The Washington Times in an interview in late April. “We don’t have a plan to do anything with them. They are Iraqis, and this is their country,” said Sgt. Maj. Mellinger, at that time the top enlisted soldier in Iraq.

How sad if an earlier incident in our history is repeated:

For one former Special Forces operative who has worked closely with Iraqis for three years, any U.S. pullout that fails to protect Iraqi allies would bring unhappy memories of the final withdrawal 32 years ago from Vietnam. “When we leave, all these people that helped us and fought for us will be hunted down and exterminated just like the Montagnards and South Vietnamese,” he said in a telephone interview. “In many ways, this is my second Vietnam,” he said bitterly.

One wonders how long our military will be forced to implement the feckless policies of incompetent if not outright traitorous politicians interested more in their own careers than in the good name and interest of the United States.

Bush Continues Leftward Skid

Bush in U-turn on global warming

George W. Bush on Thursday unveiled a striking about-face on global warming, calling on the world’s leading economies to join the US in agreeing a global target to reduce carbon dioxide emissions before the end of his term in office

The US president was speaking just ahead of a G8 summit at which climate change was expected to be high on the agenda of European governments.

So…what is left of the administration agenda that does NOT align with the international socialist orientation of the Euros any more?
(Hmmmmm. Think. THINK……….STILL thinking……..)

He explained that his apparent conversion – which follows almost seven years of having rejected precisely the road he outlined – was prompted by new scientific findings.

This is total bullsh…er…strong organic fertilizer. Recent scientific trends are that although we are probably in a warming phase of planetary climate, the impact of human activity is minimal!

But Mr Bush made no pledge on the size of emissions cuts that the US would be prepared to sign up to and gave no indication of a timeframe. The White House also ruled out carbon trading as the way to cutting emissions.

Well, IF he can be trusted on anything these days, this at least is something positive, that he hasn’t bought into the AlGor carbon trading fraud.

The Chief is getting closer and closer to agreeing with the moonbat left on one thing…that Bush is one of the worst the US has ever been saddled with in the White House.
