Time to mobilize the ‘yahoos’? - By MicIkey Kaus - Slate Magazine
Update on the Make-It-Across-the-Border-and-Your-Kids-Get-Green-Cards-Act … sorry, the “DREAM Act”: It appears to be headed for a vote next week. … Mark Krikorian has more. … To reiterate: The problem with this bill is not just that it’s apparently been drafted as a stealth mechanism to allow lots of illegal immigrants to claim they qualify and thereby achieve legal status, although it has. Even were it restricted to its core purpose–compassionate treatment for eager students brought into the country by their parents when they were young–it would inherently create an incentive for further illegal border crossing (namely by telling potential illegals to bring their kids across the border when they are young). … Now that the government is finally (seemingly, at least temporarily) trying to remove the “jobs magnet” for continuing illegal immigration, this is not the time to activate an alternative “kids magnet.” … Once the borders are reasonably impervious, then all sorts of compassionate semi-amnesties become much more feasible. But a vote for the DREAM Act now is in practice a vote for more illegal immigration (as many of its supporters surely understand). … According to Numbers U.S.A., the Dream Act has only 21 firm opponents in the Senate–and one of them is Lindsey “we’re going to tell the bigots to shut up” Graham. When you are relying on Lindsey Graham as one of your “Anti-Amnesty Champions,” maybe its time to panic and mobilize the yahoos! ..
They just don’t get it. So apparently we’re going to have to boot some of their asses right out of the Senate. Is Open Borders McCain working for this? Is Amnesty Bush pulling strings off-stage left? I’d guess yes. Wouldn’t you?
Keep in mind they have the votes of RINO Senators who have announced their retirements, and hence can pander to the immigration lobby for jobs, cash, and retirement sinecures after they leave the Senate, trailing slime.
