Immigration & Delusion
National Review Online, by Andrew C. McCarthy

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/8/2012 10:22:32 AM

Could you find a more sharp disagreement between genuinely smart folk than in the competing description of Hispanic immigrants offered by Heather Mac Donald and the editors of the Wall Street Journal? Here is the Journal this morning: Immigrants should be a natural GOP constituency. Newcomers to the U.S.—legal or illegal—tend to be aspiring people who believe in the dignity of work and self-sufficiency, and they are cultural conservatives. They are not the 47%.Here is Heather yesterday: If Republicans want to change their stance on immigration, they should do so on the merits, not out

This is not an uplifting article but he speaks the truth.

If immigrants from Mexico voted republican, Obama would have a burning ditch, gun towers for 2000 miles and mined beaches.

I disagree. Writer is linking all Hispanics with Mexican radicals. Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Chileans, Venezuelans immigrant and others who fled S.A. and Central American commie regimes are conservatives. Mexican illegals are being represented by La Raza and leftist militants. Republicans need to have Rubio and other elected Hispanics lead the charge to spread the truth. It can be done.

Obama won by over 1% of the popular vote. No voter I.D.'s required. How many of his voters were citizens?

Agree #2. If they're going to slice and dice all white Americans by sex, sexual preference, age, income, etc. then it's time to fight fire with fire and start pointing out that a Cuban is not a Mexican is not a Venezuelan.

'Hispanic' is a catchall invented out of whole cloth by Richard Nixon, the gift that keeps on giving.

If I were a Cuban or an Argentinian I would make sure I stood apart from Mexicans who simply want the goodies.

We need to stop identifying people with the activists who claim to represent them.

I disagree with the comment that immigrants come here to work hard; I worked in a dental office for thirty years. And for these 30 years I watched hundreds of Mexican families come to the US; first thing they did was get on welfare, have a baby, get food stamps, come to the dentist for free with their Medicaid benefits. Juan worked hard as a gardener, and Maria worked hard as a house cleaner, and they were paid cash; no taxes were paid. They kept their cash, they brought more relatives, they kept their welfare and Medicaid, and they had a baby every year. What a great life. I am sick of it.

One single Spanish speaking Rush Limbaugh would change Hispanics in this country within months.

I don't think that Mr. McCarthy has lived with these people. I have. They are good people. They make fine citizens - those that choose to obey the law. They are friendly, and outgoing. They do work hard and let's face it, if public welfare is available, why not take advantage of it! I would too, especially if I had no where else to turn.

But there is a liberal Hispanic media and public education system that is teaching them the importance of the culture of dependency. More importantly it is teaching this to their children. These kids grow up not knowing about the strength of the U.S. culture or the strength of their own cultures.

Conservatives can change this, without changing what we believe or how we approach immigration.

Oh, and don't compare Hispanics to Islam.

One thing is for sure, if the Republicans cave and allow the liberal Democrats to pass an amnesty for the 20 million or so illegal aliens here now that after passing them through a few meaningless hoops eventually gives them US voting rights, the vast majority of them being poor low wage earners with limited educations, who have large families and come from socialist oriented third world countries will eventually become liberal Democrat voters and the Republicans will have committed long-term political suicide.

Why do you think the liberal Democrats always support a permanent amnesty and "a path to citizenship" for most illegal aliens, and at the same time oppose and sabotage all effective immigration law enforcement measures, it certainly is not because they think that once able, such a massive legalized alien population would have an epiphany and vote for conservative Republicans!

People who came here illegally should never be granted citizenship unless they leave and come back legally, even if amnesty legislation allows them to stay.

"Thank God" an exhausted elderly woman who survived the devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma exclaimed as her beloved dog emerged from the rubble of her house - live on camera. CBS News was interviewing Barbara Garcia shortly after a massive tornado demolished her house with her and her dog inside. She was in the middle of telling reporter Anna Werner about how she survived the storm, but she couldn´t find her dog - until he miraculously appeared in the debris right behind her. "Well I thought God just answered one prayer: let me be ok.

After IRS, Benghazi scandals,
public trust shifts to GOP
Washington Examiner, by Paul Bedard    Original Article

The Democratic Party´s edge over the GOP on who the public trusts more on ethics and corruption issues has flipped in the wake of the IRS and Benghazi scandals, according to Rasmussen Reports. Not only do voters trust Republicans more now, they have their highest level of confidence in the GOP and the lowest level in Democrats in seven months. While the Democrats had an eight-point "trust advantage" over Republicans a month ago, Rasmussen´s latest poll said that edge has disappeared and now the GOP has a two-point advantage.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told the Senate Banking Committee Tuesday the IRS has to be "beyond politics," and he warned that the "cure could be worse than the disease" if that line is crossed in the attempt to fix the agency´s problems. "The thing I will not do -- I will not cross that line into the administration of the tax system, because the cure could be worse than the disease. We need to make sure there´s no political involvement in the administration of the tax system," Lew said. And while the treasury secretary is responsible for

Benghazi Exclusive: State Department

Danger. Danger. Al Qaeda’s Syrian wing also known as “rebels” bent on overthrowing Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad (mirroring the Saudi, the Obama administration and Republican Senator John McCain’s position), have taken over the oilfields that once belonged to Assad. If that wasn’t bad enough it gets worse. We are a hair trigger away from World War III. Reportedly Assad is preparing missile strikes against Tel Aviv if Syria is attacked again. Meanwhile, back in Obama’s America, don’t call Libya’s weapon recovery program “buyback” that then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton funded using $40 million of your tax dollars

The current scene doesn´t look so great. We´ve got the Benghazi scandal, which Bob Woodward has compared to Watergate, we´ve got the IRS scandal, where Democratic members of Congress are saying the IRS director lied, we´ve got the FBI AP-snooping scandal, we´ve got the HHS "private donation" shakedown scandal, and, of course, there´s the still-unfolding Pigford scandal that has funneled billions to grifters. It seems like everything is in tatters. And, in a way, it is. But serious as these problems are, they´re all short-term things. So while at the moment a lot of our political leaders

Howard Dean: ‘Benghazi
is a Laughable Joke’

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

IRS Scandal: Outgoing Chief
Says Planted Question His Idea
Breitbart´s Big Journalism, by John Nolte    Original Article

In Tuesday´s Senate hearings into the ever-widening IRS scandal, outgoing IRS chief, Steve Miller, acknowledged that the planted question that broke the story last week was his idea. The "planted question" refers to the way in which the IRS chose to release the findings of the Inspector General´s report a week ago Friday. It was an unusual way to deliver bad news, even in a town known for its selective leaks, Friday-night news dumps and wag-the-dog distractions. The Internal Revenue Service, apparently determined to get out ahead of an inspector general report critical of its handling of tax exemptions

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care
