The \u201cStandards\u201d risk civil war within the GOP which could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the 2014 elections.  What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cStandards\u201d opens with a tired clich\u00e9: \u201cOur nation\u2019s immigration system is broken.\u201d  Is the real problem our \u201cbroken immigration system\u201d or the refusal to enforce immigration law because of partisan politics and corporate greed?<\/p>\n<p>Relative to immigration legislation is there any real difference between the goals of the House leadership and the Senate \u201cGang of Eight?<\/p>\n<p>Solid data from the Census Bureau, the Pew Hispanic Center and political scientists tell us the GOP will never win the Hispanic vote. Why won\u2019t GOP leadership face facts?<\/p>\n<p>If amnesty passes along with a huge increase in legal immigration by low-skill workers with lop-sided ideological sympathy for the Democratic Party, America will become a One-Party State. We\u2019ll lose our political liberty and the nations\u2019 politics will lurch far to the left. Is GOP leadership deaf to the approaching thunder?<\/p>\n<p>GOP leadership wants an amnesty and a massive increase in immigration by low-skill labor when 20 million Americans cannot find full-time work. The \u201cStandards\u201d speaks eloquently about the \u201cneeds of employers\u201d but is silent about those of ordinary Americans. Don\u2019t Republicans have a message for working Americans?<\/p>\n<p>Romney didn\u2019t lose because of the Hispanic vote.  He lost because six million White American Christians, natural GOP voters, stayed home.  Should Republicans continue to alienate White working-class Americans?<\/p>\n<p>Republicans pride themselves on being the Party of fiscal responsibility.  But amnesty and increased low-skill immigration means the massive importation of poverty and the corresponding growth of the welfare state will cost trillions. Why the inconsistency? Why doesn\u2019t GOP leadership foreground the powerful nexus between immigration and economic policy and employment?<\/p>\n<p>GOP Congressional leaders advocate an unrealistic compromise: granting legal status but not citizenship to illegal aliens.  This would create a vast under-class of wage slaves without political rights. This is un-American and within a few years a movement to grant citizenship, driven by the Democrats, would triumph. Is this a devious amnesty scheme or are GOP leaders incapable of recognizing how unethical and impractical it is?<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cStandards\u201d calls on the government to create a \u201cworkable electronic employment verification system\u201d to end workplace fraud, yet an excellent one already exists: E-Verify. Why doesn\u2019t the \u201cStandards\u201d mandate its immediate adoption?<\/p>\n<p>If an amnesty\/legalization for illegal aliens is passed along with a massive increase in legal low-skill immigration, how will that affect President Obama\u2019s legacy and what impact will it have on the 2016 Presidential election?<\/p>\n<p>How could a Republican call for lower levels of immigration become part of a new populist GOP conservative message that could win not only Congress but also the White House?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, what would a sound and smart immigration policy look like?<\/p>\n<p>WHY ALL AMERICANS SHOULD BE CONCERNED<\/p>\n<p>Why mass immigration by low-skill, poorly-educated workers \u2013 legal or illegal \u2013 is fundamentally incompatible with the needs of a post-industrial knowledge-based society with a huge welfare system<\/p>\n<p>The connection between high U.S. unemployment and mass immigration<\/p>\n<p>How mass immigration and the cheap labor threatens the wages, working conditions and benefits for all American workers<\/p>\n<p>The brutal consequences of mass low-skill immigration on the unemployed, the working poor, young college graduates and American workers with only a high school education<\/p>\n<p>How the presence of a huge transnational population of impoverished low-skill immigrants threatens to form a permanent underclass<\/p>\n<p>Why contemporary mass low-skill immigration will destroy America&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another speaker who doesn&#8217;t sugarcoat GOP immigration policy Dr. Stephen Steinlight from the Center for Immigration Studies will be speaking at the Conservative Republican Women of North Atlanta meeting November 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM Magnolia Cafe 5175 South Old Peachtree Road Norcross, GA 30092 URGENT QUESTIONS FOR REPUBLICANS When it comes to immigration policy, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4621"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4621\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
