Quote from Rearden Metal:
With Latinos casting over 12% (and rising) of American ballots, winning elections without pandering to this key voting block becomes increasingly difficult with each passing election.
Our rulers clearly value their own personal political ambitions, far more than they value our country. Selling out America is just fine by most of them, as long as they get to stay in power.
Quote from gnome:
Doesn't sound right... for one party to have an advantage over the other there would have to be competing bills... each trying to give away more than the other to buy voter loyalty.
This Amnesty merely gives away a lot of Americans' money. Why should any politician care whether this block has a voting voice? And after we GIVE them everything... and 50% votes Red, 50% votes Blue, what has been accomplished?

when the EU opened its borders and lowered interest rates it caused a huge boom-people need a house car food etc etc-that is why they(govt) would do it-to have cheap labor-the rich get rich and the poor get it in the arse-middle class be come lower class-fleecing of america-i love all people of every race and color we are truly one world-but but capitalism goes against social equality for there to be social equality there needs to be financial equlity-NO POOR FOLKS-if you are poor you are scared and desperate-no mindset to be making critical decisions about ones life and family-its the devils game...god help us all

Look at this clip by Ralph Nader,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR-V6bl41zU
It has nothing to do with immigration except that he is the smartest person I've ever listened to. He is brilliant.
He says that there are 2 liberties we need to differentiate between, personal liberty and civic liberty.
He says a lot of DICTATORSHIPS have had personal liberty, it's the civic liberty that's rare.
Civic liberty is the ability to influence the government and to have your voice heard.
I think this Amnesty bill keeps trying to pass every few months, this is bullshit. No american wants this bill but they will try it until people stop caring and the bill is quietly signed. This act, simply shows the US is absent of any civic liberties. Dictatorship. No more bullshit about "land of the free", yeah, you are free to choose which nacho flavor you want to buy, but that's it. You don't like what the politicians are doing? Tough luck.
