Podhoretz Giveth And Taketh Away

"I have long counseled Republicans and conservatives to resist the temptation that anti-immigration policy represents, both morally and politically. I still think it is profoundly ironic that many on the Right are talking about the terrible costs presented by illegal aliens at a time when the economy is growing at a rate near 5 percent, personal incomes are up, manufacturing is skyrocketing and unemployment is near historic lows.

Bingo. J-Pod simply cannot put pen to paper without at least ONE incredibly inane remark, and this is it. So it's OKAY for them to remain a drain on our economy because our economy is doing well? That's tantamount to saying that it's okay to steal from the rich because they're rich. To bamboozle an insurance company or rob a bank because they're loaded with money. He continues, and as all softhearted RINO'S, points somewhat of a tsk-tsk'ing finger towards REAL Republicans.

But if I were a paid political consultant right now, I'd be hard-pressed to talk any Republican into taking an expansive view of the benefits of large-scale immigration. Instead, I would be trying to figure out just how to capitalize on the Democratic Party's embrace of the most irresponsible and reckless liberal rhetoric on the subject of immigration ever heard in this country.

The organizers of yesterday's nationwide demonstration's chose to convince illegals not to go to work. To what end? For what purpose? The industries that employ such workers have spent decades engaged in lobbying activities designed to loosen restrictions. Why would the organizers choose to punish them?

I have an answer. They are doing so for the same reason they encourage the use of Mexican flags at demonstrations, the singing of the National Anthem in Spanish, and the insistence that lawbreakers be given immediate and unconditional citizenship.

They are doing so because they are secretly in the employ of the anti-immigration lobby.

The only people participating in the political debate at the present moment who were overjoyed by yesterday's despicable rallies were anti-illegal activists like Reps. Tom Tancredo and Dana Rohrabacher and behind-the-scenes Washington guys like Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies.

"Thanks for the boycott!" wrote a jubilant Krikorian. Jubilant he should be. The debate is moving in his direction at the speed of light."

Bingo X 2. The BEST thing the beaners COULD have done was to flaunt their criminal behavior in our collective faces. Not for them but for us. Perhaps even the fence-sitters will have been so nauseated by all of this that even THEY will rally against the invasion.
