— DrewM All the news is kind of frozen today (east cost bias) so some crumbs.
1. The Number 3 House Republican Has A Lousy Idea About Amnesty. Naturally, It's The Worst Possible Option
GOP Whip Keven McCarthy is now on board with a "split the baby" idea for amnesty...legalization but no path to citizenship.
"The principles aren't written yet, but in my personal belief I think it'll go with legal status that will allow you to work and pay taxes," McCarthy said.McCarthy made clear that he did not favor carving out a new path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people in the country illegally. But his position appears to comport with the views of other senior Republicans who have called for illegal immigrants to have access to the existing route to citizenship once they receive an initial legal status and fulfill other requirements.
The reason this is the worst option is it makes almost no one happy and just annoys everyone more.
There are studies that show that plenty of illegal immigrants don't care about citizenship. They just the chance to work here legally. On the other hand are activists (including Democrat politicians who want more voters) who will settle for nothing less.
As a practical matter giving people here illegally legal status still ignores the law as written and advantages them over people who have gone through the legal process and had to wait their turn.
It also is just uncomfortable. America has been about the chance to come here and become an American. Having a permanent segment of the population foreclosed from that part of our tradition seems wrong on an instinctual level. It's too much like what you see in places like the Mideast where foreign workers are imported but are foreclosed from ever becoming part of the country where they spend their lives.
I know that sounds contradictory since that's the system we have now (and it would no doubt work differently here than in a place like Saudi Arabia) but somehow codifying it represents turning away from a basic American value.
Politically, it's untenable because no matter what they say now, if you agree to legalization today, liberals will pocket that and comeback tomorrow demanding you give these same people citizenship or risk turning America into an apartheid state (you know that's exactly what they'll say".
And so the GOP will have angered their supporters by putting illegals at the front of the line, have handed the Democrats a partial victory and a club to keep using on the GOP.
If you stand in the middle of the road you'll only get hit by traffic going in both directions. The GOP never seems to learn this basic lesson.
2. Is The "Establishment" Supporting A Candidate In Nebraska Simply Out Of Spite?
Last week's podcast guest, Tim Carney, takes a look at the GOP primary fight for the Senate in Nebraska and finds an interesting divide.
Both candidates seem pretty conservative at first blush but one, Ben Sasse, is backed by the dreded "outside groups" like The Senate Conservative Fund and The Club For Growth. While the other Shane Osborn has the strong support of lobbyists.
Here are some of the headliners for a DC fundraiser for Osborn (to be held at the HQ of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Wayne Berman and Charlie Black headline Osborn's D.C. fundraiser. The two K Streeters are pillars of the GOP establishment. They backed Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst over Ted Cruz in 2012. And they supported governor-turned-health-secretary-turned-lobbyist Tommy Thompson over two Tea Partiers in a heated Wisconsin primary that same year.Lobbyist Rick Murphy, who threw a fundraiser for Dewhurst last cycle, is also on OsbornÂ’s host list.
So is Billy Piper, who was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnellÂ’s chief of staff from 2002 to 2010. Today, heÂ’s a lobbyist at the K Street firm Fierce, Isakowitz and Blalock. Also on the host list are Piper's boss Kirk Blalock and colleague Kate Hull.
When you check out Piper, Blalock and Hull’s lobbying resumes, you see why the K Street wing can’t find peace with the conservative base. Blalock's firm pocketed about $1.5 million lobbying for government-sponsored enterprise Fannie Mae from 2002 until the company collapsed into federal conservatorship in 2008. Federal filings show Blalock lobbying for Fannie on “GSE Reform,” which means he lobbied (successfully) against Republican efforts to rein in Fannie’s unsustainable inflation of the housing bubble.
Blalock lobbied for Obama's stimulus on behalf of the windmill lobby, the American Wind Energy Association. Blalock and his firm also lobbied for wind-energy subsidies and federal rules forcing utilities to buy wind-generated power.
Sasse wanted to avoid any rift with Mitch McConnell but since the Senate Conservative Fund supported him, McConnell was having none of it.
Just keep in mind the list of people supporting Osborn next time you hear that the "outside groups" are only in it for the money.
Do you really think all those lobbyist dollars are flowing out of the goodness of their corporatist hearts?
3. John McCain Doesn't Like Richard Sherman Of The Seattle Seahawks.
That's reason enough for me to like Sherman even more.
Since both Washington and Colorado have legalized marijuana, will the traditional bets between local politicians include pot this year?

But should Sasse win the primary, he can count on the full support of Osborn and his supporters. Because that's what they'd demand of Sasse's coalition.
Right?

That amnest even appears in the lowest corner of the GOP's radar screen, is, all by itself, an astonishing and dispositive data point about how useless or even pernicious it has become. The country is in arguable the worst constitutional, economic, fiscal, and national security shambles it's seen in a generation or more, and THIS is what the "opposition" party makes a priority?
And good point Drew about creating a de jure gastarbeiter/Saudi foreign worker situation. Very un-American. And note the outlandish contempt for the voters and thinking Americans implicit in McCarthy et al's approach: they can't possibly be so stupid as to think the tiered-citizen system created by their idea would survive a nanosecond of judicial review. It probably shouldn't - like a broken clock, America's degraded and farcical judiciary would get it right for once.
More than anything, amidst a collapsing rule of law, the GOP wants to formally and explicitly embrace the largest direct assault on the rule of law in our history?
Perhaps some of our GOP apologists would like to take a swing at rationalizing the electorally and substantively indefensible and idiotic instincts of the Beltway midgets on this one?

Guest-worker programs are fine - they are legal, above-board, and involve regulation and identification of all participants, with actual mechanisms to ensure compliance. They have worked before.
Confusing lawlessness with a regulated lawful labor importation scheme is stupid, yet many will do so.
Green cards are part of legal immigration - that area has its own vast problems, but they are 100% distinct from the problem of legal immigration, and amnesty. Arguing for more/less/different kinds of legal immigration is a policy debate; amnesty in any form is stupidly, ineptly, or dishonestly assaulting the rule of law itself.
Posted by: non-purist at January 22, 2014 08:14 AM (afQnV)
Seriously? It's not about whether it's legal or not.
It's not about whether it "feels right" or is "uncomfortable"....
It's about whether the illegals pay taxes and keep the system solvent over time.
It's about whether we're all playing by the same rules OR NOT.
It's about whether we're all equal or some are "more equal than others".
It's about whether we're maintaining the rule of law or not. Do we keep a system or just give up and let some people make up the rules as we go along.
As much as King Obama thinks he can get away with that, the rest of us prefer the old Rule of Law.

No, McCain was bitter because he claims that the surge was his idea from the beginning and did not get the credit he deserves. He also of course , had a problem with the structure of the surge that the Bush administration used which was significantly different than the McCain recommendation.

That sounds good, but the Left is so skilled at lawfare that there will be thousands of lawsuits shopped until a liberal judge (or judges) rules that having the "opportunity to pay taxes" (not necessarily paying them) is sufficient to establish the "Right To Vote!". If you think Roberts contorted himself on ACA, you will be calling him Mr Pretzel when he rules on voting rights!

1. Republican donors like illegals because they're cheap labor. So they push for amnesty.
2. Let's say amnesty passes. Now those illegals are legal--which means businesses have to start paying them minimum wage, provide health and SS benefits, etc.
3. Newly legals are thus no longer profitable to hire.
4. Businesses find new illegals to do the work cheaper than the newly legal.
5. The newly legal now can't find work, and go on welfare etc.
Am I wrong about this? Isn't this basically asking to expand the welfare rolls? What is wrong with the GOP donor class?

If the GOP was the Smart Party, it would play each of the groups against each other such as the Dems have done for years. E.g. corporate sponsored H1B visas allow visa holders to seek other jobs with other firms after six months. This would pit the financial interest of the corporations versus the "freedom" rights of the potential immigrants. Microsoft, Google, et al. would face the problem and cost of training the employees but be unable to reap the benefits of coolie wages of their indentured class of "kept" employees. Ditto for universities and others that intentionally benefit from paying foreigners less than market wages. It is time that they compete with Americans on a fair and open wage level.

tslr - what "backlash" to self-deportation? More generally, among all the wildly incorrect universal assumptions these days, the one that illegal immigration is popular, that amnesty is popular, is one of the wildest. No polling or ballot-box results - none - support this. Not even within the Hispanic community.
More broadly, the idea that "the country just isn't ready to (fill in the blank)" is pretty much a death sentence the country, not to mention stupid and ill-informed. More correctly: a huge swath of the country's non-elite elites are anxious to do zillions of disastrous, illogical, unconstitutional things that will materially worsen the situation quickly and permanently (see amnesty, fiscal insanity, etc.). There is no evidence the populace shares their enthusiasm for these things - and much evidence to the contrary.
In 1979, the WaPo routinely referred to huge swaths of the federal budget as "uncontrollables". Within two years the very word had disappeared. Why? Because a new administration that was serious simply took action (or proposed action) to CHANGE things. Among the ample reasons for pessimism is that so many opposed to the country's course simply surrender pre-emptively by assuming (incorrectly) that things just "can't be done/proposed".

BINGO
It's a win-win for liberals, as they keep getting to beat the RACIST drum. And it WILL look racist to allow these people to live here, work here, and pay taxes but not allow them to vote. What will be the reasoning then?
Once you no longer can legally kick them out, within a few election cycles, you're going to have 20 million new Democrat voters.
Why on Earth would House Republicans want to hand Obama and Democrats this victory (you don't actually think Latinos are going to credit Boehner for amnesty, do you) and have an issue that will completely demoralize and tear apart the base of the Party?

When talking about President Obama’s Syria policy on Tuesday, Senator John McCain said, “I thought Jimmy Carter was bad, but he pales in comparison to this president in my view.”
Syria is “becoming a regional conflict. It’s spread to Lebanon. It’s spread to Turkey. It’s spread to Jordan. It is spreading throughout the region, and sooner or later it will affect the United States of America if you allow a place to become a base for al-Qaeda,” McCain said in an interview on a Phoenix radio station, KFYI. “I have never seen anything like this in my life.”
McCain also took Secretary of State John Kerry to task, criticizing him for his relationship with Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov. “The people who are giving [Syrian president Bashar Assad] the weapons are the Russians, and our secretary of state is buddy-buddy and palsy-walsy with . . . his buddy Sergey in places like Geneva and others,” McCain said.

Most immigrants, legal or illegal, don't give a fuck about citizenship since aside from voting there's no difference between a citizen and a permanent resident. However, as a citizen any foreign income is taxed, but as a permanent resident, it's not.

A commenter at Ticker Forum raised an interesting point. He suggested that the push for immigration is about creating more consumers. Consumption is the major part of our economy now, and American consumers are maxed out.
But if they are living here now, aren't they consuming? Food, medical, etc. Nazi Pelosi says welfare and unemployment spurs more spending.
Ya, I know, I know.

As long as they keep sending out the welfare checks there won't be any violence.
That will end soon, the Fed cannot continue QE much longer and with foodstamps at an all time high, the violence you think won't happen will blaze out of control when those EBT cards aren't filled. If justice is denied by government the people will make their own harsher version. But continue to pretend people will do nothing and those 300 million guns in their hands won't be used to drive illegals out.

When you really poll people on specific issues about illegal immigration, they're overwhelmingly hawks. But the GOP is so scared of the issue, they run from it, which is the worst of both worlds. It makes voters think they are closet racists, and the people that want to somebody to do something about illegal immigration become demoralized.
The problem is, it's really easy for a few clowns to come off like racists when the media is sitting there looking for a hint of it to pounce on.
If somebody like a Ted Cruz ran as a hard nosed border hawk, he's win a landslide election nationally because once you take the RACIST element out of it, it's a winner politically. Problem is, I think Ted Cruz is more sympathetic to amnesty than he's letting on.

And yes, currently and in the past, the naturalization process required/requires you to abandon your previous country's citizenship. The difference is now most of the time they waiver that.
hat being said, Americans born in a foreign country usually have dual citizenship. They are not required to renounce the other country.

This is my plan to deal with illegals;
We tell them that since marijuana is becoming legal (less illegal), that if they want to stay here they have to go back to Mexico and bring back a kilo of pot.
When everyone is back on the other side of the border, we quick build a wall.
Fixed!

The announcement is expected on Wednesday.
As first reported by NBC News, the new policy would allow service members to wear turbans, grow beards and other types of religious-based facial hair, and wear other items like yarmulkes.
The directive reportedly will allow these items so long as they don't negatively affect military readiness and other factors.
The changes come after a Sikh American complained about not being able to wear a turban or maintain a beard while in uniform.
According to NBC News, the directive will allow immediate commanders to approve some religious accommodations, but others will have to be approved by higher-level officers.

Back in '89 during a joint exercise, I actually met a Sikh who was serving with US Special Forces as an E-7, wearing a beard and a green turban with the SF regimental crest pinned on it. Was probably the only US servicemember to be able to do that, and I imagine it was only because he was SF.
You should have seen the stares he got from us regular infantry troopies.

Just skimming the Think progress commentary on the bill (there wasn't another one easily available). It appears to remove "abortion" from the list of medical tax deductions, except in cases of rape or life of the mother.
That's how they arrived that that.
Frankly, I'd be surprised if rape victims were actually claiming their abortions as medical tax deductions in the first place.
And even if they did now, they'd have to show documentation of the procedure in an audit anyway even in absence of this law.Posted by: tsrblke, PhD(c) No Really! at January 22, 2014 09:12 AM (GaqMa)

I was just about to go make lunch, then here you come with Meg McDonalds. No appetite.
Thanks, jackass.

I think the Ewok is frozen in a puddle of Val-U-Rite and his own congealed vomit.
That or the poor lad is sick again.

According to the left, this plus a hate shake made from the tears of orphaned polar bears is actually the #1 bestselling combo meal at Chik-Fil-A.

CAC's bumped the War on Women thread up above this one. Not a new thread, but if you weren't there before, it's new to you!
And since it was stomped last time, I'm sure it'll get stomped again this time. Poor CAC.

Shit. Our salutatorian couldn't last three semesters at the local land grant U.
But he was on the football team, so he got all the academic awards and the valedictorian was a girl so she didn't get shit.

Or guest worker programs. There are guest worker programs in place now that allow people to work here legally without becoming a citizen.
I mean, there is an entire category called permanent resident alien that currently exists under US immigration law.
Which, as always, leads to this question. Why can we not try enforcing the laws that are already on the books before we talk about changing them?
The fraud in the H visa "guestworker" programs is ridiculous , in many cases , bordering and even crossing the line on human trafficking.
Fraud detection by the government is almost non existent because cheap lettuce and heavily accented 'tech support' keep donors happy.

I have no problem with Keven McCarthy's proposal. What Obama wants is instant Democrats. If you don't give him what he wants, the immigration issue is dead. If Mexicans voted Republican, there would be a barbwire fenses on the boder, and armed watch towers. The Democrats would be building rapid trains to Mexico City to return Mexicans. Suddenly returning 11 million Mexican would not be a problem.
