Issa Drafting Bill to Grant Legal Status to Some Illegal Aliens
« on: October 24, 2013, 09:49:18 AM »
Why???

Quote
“Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has also started work on a bill that would deal with the immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, and has been briefing stakeholders on it for feedback, according to three people familiar with the matter,” The Hill’s Jennifer Martinez wrote. “It’s unclear when Issa will put the bill forward, sources say, but his aim is to jump-start a discussion in the House about the divisive issue.”

Stakeholders?

I think the reality - as infuriating as it is - is that the GOP receives incredible pressure from its business constituency on this issue. Being the "party of business" was always their M.O. Traditionally, insofar as the Dems were the "party of the people", the GOP was the "party of business". In this time of economic stress, businesses want cheap labor. Businesses that are already using qualified, trained, proven illegal immigrants don't want the risk of their illegal status.

Now, with $17 Trillion in debt; 100 Trillion in unfunded liabilities; corporate welfare and bailouts, 10 million fewer people in the work force since 2009, and Tea Party paying attention, there is a conflict between the GOP's business constituency, and their constitutional conservative Tea Party constituency.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Yeah, we aren't stakeholders as actual citizens, the inheritors of what our ancestors created, who would like to leave something better than a Third World cesspool behind to our own descendents? We're not stakeholders?

Perhaps we should be rifleholders then?
