Compromising on Amnesty

Immigration reform is happening. One way to tell is how the right is scrambling to find ways to moderate their positions while saving face. I wonder if this is because Marco Rubio is their chosen candidate for 2016. Rush Limbaugh even sorta-kinda endorsed Marco Rubio's reform plan. Even Freepers are proposing their own crazy concessions:

Baynative is only worried about phantom voter fraud:

A very simple test of sincerity for those proposing this new amnesty is that every applicant's background check includes a search of voter registration roles. If they have committed felony vote fraud, they should be out of here.

Wisconsinlady thinks created a second class of citizens would do it!

I like Rush’s idea. Make them all legal citizens immediately, except they can’t vote for the next 25 years. The dems would never go for that and hopefully the Mexican illegals would know how much the Dems “cared for them”.

TigersEye is one of a many to explain that Obama plans to fail on all front

I think that is 0bamugabe’s entire strategy. Fiscal policy, gun control, immigration and whatever the next hot button issue is that he and the Dems bring up. Blow it up with wild rhetoric, create a sense of urgency, claim they want Pubbies to come in and make it bi-partisan then destroy the whole thing from within (0bamugabe’s #1 job) and demonize Republicans for the ‘failure.’

kabar realizes that the real problem is all foreigners:

The Dems benefit with or without an amnesty. Legal immigration is actually more of a problem than illegal immigration. The legal immigrants are having far more of an impact electorally. The Dems don’t need a amnesty to get more Dem voters. Every year, 1.2 million legal immigrants enter the US and the overwhelming majority of them will be voting Dem. The last decade ending in 2010 saw the largest number of legal immigrants ever to enter this country in our history—13.9 million. One in 8 in this country is foreign born compared to one in 21 in 1970. Immigration is changing our electoral demographics ensuring that the Dems will be the permanent majority party. Amnesty just hastens a process that has been ongoing over the past 40 years.

Rome2000 Shows why the Freeper status quo may not cut it outreach-wise:

Rubio is a degenerate little twerp busy body lawyer and con man who never held a real job in his life.

Actually heard him utter the phrase “undocumented worker” on the 10 minutes of the 3 hour Limbaugh show that isn’t a collection of continuous commercials for ridiculous products and services that nobody with half a brain would purchase.

So now the Washingtonians from both parties for their own selfish and nefarious reasons want to enfranchise illegal alien criminals at the expense of real Americans who work for a living and actually pay taxes.

The degenerate political class keeps pushing the productive class against the wall, mugging them via the IRS under threat of imprisonment in broad daylight.

Soon will come a breaking point.

The tyranny of the Washingtonians and their apparatchiks in the bureaucracy and their demented evil propagandists in the press must inevitably result in the collapse of the first American Republic and the rise of a second Republic.

A Republic where the Franchise is limited to responsible citizens, and the Capital in not located in DC but is rotated amongst the States that are invited to join (NY, CA, the entire Northeast and IL need not bother to apply).

The sooner the collapse happens, the better.
