Immigration Reform is NOT dead in the House-Boehner


Immigration "reform" only makes them legal in the eyes of the law. It creates even more entitlements that the citizenry has to pay for. Even the most liberal estimates are that it will increase "revenue" to federal and state governments by around $50b a year yet it will produce "entitlements" in the area of $60b-$100b a year. How does this help the economy? It only helps the political class by cementing even more people into the "beholding" class, buying their votes. Unfortunately, the GOP has come to this realization too late and no amount of liberalization can undo the years of prior damage done in this arena. It won't help the nation to do this and it will do harm to the GOP.
Unfortunately, the leadership believes that the old guard is the future of the party.....the same old guard that got us into this mess by capitulation to the democrats at nearly every turn. Boehner, Ryan, Priebus, McConnell and McCain and the rest of the leadership has to be replaced or the party will become the Whigs and the country will become a place where the standard of living declines for the next 50 years.
