ACTION ALERT - AMNESTY THERE SO MANY REASONS WE CAN'T AFFORD IT The riots and social unrest we see playing out in Sweden, France and London is the direct results of lax immigration policies and a generous welfare systems. Sound familiar? They've flooded their populations with millions of immigrants who have failed to assimilate into their societies. Efforts to appease immigrants in each case have failed as demands for public services and jobs increase. Tension are high as the immigrants lash out at those who invited them into their homeland and gave the food money and shelter. The immigrants are burning cars, buildings, assaulting police and fireman as the respond. Now the citizens in those countries have had enough of the politicians and the immigrants. Our media is not reporting these riots, yet! When you look around our country you see the same scenario brewing, dial 1 for English schools teaching in multiple languages through high school, entire neighborhoods where not a word of English is spoke. Welfare and social services are thrown at them by our government. #1 on the list would be our governments refusal to secure our borders and deport illegal immigrants when found. We are brewing a new round of welfare, medical recipients, drug and human traffickers. The gang of 8 tells us 11 mln people are in the shadows, fact is they have no clue how many are here since they've been using that number for a decade. We dare to tell you the number could be double that. The facts are we can't afford to take care of the world and everyone who trips across our porous unsecured borders. It's not possible or sustainable as they say. Besides we've heard these promises before (video). THE TRUE COST OF AMNESTY The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744)—commonly called the “Gang of Eight bill” after the eight Senators who came up with it, Charles Schumer (D-NY), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Michael Bennet (D-CO), John McCain (R-AZ), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC)—includes amnesty for some 11 million unlawful immigrants. That amnesty would further burden taxpayers and weaken our fiscal situation. Congress should not rush to pass the bill without understanding the cost to the American taxpayer. We have more than $12 trillion in public debt and tens of trillions of dollars more in unfunded obligations that we have no way to afford, thanks to promises made by past and present politicians. With this in mind, today’s political leaders must consider the fiscal impact of amnesty and a path to citizenship that would enable millions of unlawful immigrants to qualify for costly welfare and entitlement programs. Leaders from both parties have repeatedly failed to consider properly the long-term effects of their policies. That is why we are in such a predicament. For too many politicians, long-term thinking extends only to the next election, at most six years away. Unfortunately, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the legislative branch’s official scorekeeper, does not help much in this regard, as it often looks at costs for only the next 10 years. We’ve seen legislative myopia again and again as politicians put off tough choices for the future or make our fiscal picture worse with new and expanded government programs we cannot afford, like Medicare prescription drug benefits or Obamacare. The biggest losers are future generations. Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX) once noted that three groups spend other people’s money: thieves, children, and politicians—and all three need supervision. Some amnesty proponents are trying to convince themselves that the immigration bill won’t cost much. On the surface, they have some good talking points, noting that “registered provisional immigrants” (the name given to aliens who entered or stayed in the U.S. unlawfully but would get amnesty under the bill) are not eligible for government benefits. Of course that would last only until, at the very latest, they become citizens. (More likely, there will be pressure in future years to speed up both citizenship and eligibility.) In just a short time, they would be entitled to the same massive array of government programs as everyone else, including expensive retirement income and health programs that are already severely underfunded. The average unlawful immigrant has a 10th grade education, and low-skill immigrants on average take more in government benefits than they pay in taxes at every stage of their lives. America’s families are already burdened with taxes to support a bloated welfare and overburdened entitlement system that is badly in need of reform. This situation would get far worse under amnesty.

The real scandal is, how many scandals there've been in the last 5 years, starting with the GM bond holders being cheated out of their rightful due under the Bankruptcy laws; and the granting of ownership rights to the UAW which had no legal claim. Rich Martin The bankruptcy of Solyndra was not the scandal. The scandal was the govt financing of the project (and at least 10 others) to the benefit of the POTUS campaign contributors. Rich Martin The scandal wasn't the closing of so many Chrysler show rooms; the scandal was the selection process which targeted Republican-owned franchises in favor of franchises owned by Democrat contributors as if they were the spoils of war. Rich Martin Quote of the Century "The time to guard against corruption and tyranny, is before they shall have gotten hold on us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered." -- Thomas Jefferson (1781) TEA Party Patriots Find a chapter in your area https://www.teapartypatriots.org/ Why we're fighting the farm and food stamp bill Don't Let the Farm Bill Fool You Dear Reader, In 2012, the Senate passed a trillion-dollar farm and food stamp bill. With your help, conservatives blocked that disastrous bill, and Congress passed a one-year extension of the 2008 bill. There is no such thing as a permanent victory: the Washington Establishment is again pushing a trillion-dollar bill that subsidizes wealthy farmers and funds Obama’s food stamp agenda. We are back in the trenches, battling this nearly trillion-dollar bill. While farm bill advocates talk about some minor changes, it still costs substantially more than the 2008 bill. >> Don't be fooled: the new farm bill's "savings" are imaginary. 1 in 7 Americans are eligible for food stamps. The farm bill includes farm subsidies and food stamps so that all politicians have the "incentive" to pass it. Food stamp spending still comprises 80 percent of the spending in the "farm" bill. >> Get the facts: the farm and food stamp is a new, massive threat to taxpayers. Thank you, in advance, for joining us in this fight. Sincerely, Michael A.
