>>"It's one of those recurrent patterns that's really obvious once you notice it (subprime catastrophe, anyone?), but you aren't supposed to notice it."




Thankfully, Steve, there are some who do notice it.

For all of us who aren't always quick to notice things.
Keep noticing. It certainly cant hurt and maybe in its own way, it helps.

Keep noticing.

I think you nailed it regarding the writers mentality. Zuckerburg and Obama and the rest are divinities to people like her. How can they fail?

You can't have a discussion with someone who's arguing in bad faith. As long as the narrative is that only *bad guys* are against immigration *reform*, that there is no legitimate reason people might not support it, people like the writer of this piece will continue to be befuddled.

Look out America - the NY power structure needs 400 million American in order to keep things running (preferably non-white).

The oligarch Western banking system will collapse if the US dollar fails - the only way out of this mess is to create an ever growing populace that can pay off the bills of the past.

p.s. Rubio represent the NY power structure that moved to Florida.

Huh, I don't like Hannity much but when I tuned in a few times last spring he seemed quite critical of the immigration bill. I was pleasantly surprised; he sounded like one of us. Good feint if that's all it was.

Steve, I keep thinking of ways to get even with Zuckerberg. Sure, getting off facebook is a start (and an inconvenience). But, he wouldn't have a clue as to why he lost a customer and how would such punishment on a scale likely to be noticed be orchestrated? Wish there was a 'revenge on Zuckerberg' fund one could contribute to.

"Paper jaguar," or not, it is time for American citizens to press their representatives to pass an amendment revoking and prohibiting birthright citizenship. Enough is enough!

On Arne Duncan from someone on facebook:

"Knowing Arne well he is a fake. He is from tons of money, went to and sent his kids to the most elite school in Chicago, and only socializes with rich people. He used to be chauffeured every day to his job at the board (he lived next to my inlaws) and had little contact with the average Cps parent. The only reason he has the job is due to his basketball playing skills and friendship with Jonathan Rodgers."

If they want to punish 10 House Republicans for being too pro-enforcement, then we need to punish double of that number in the GOP primaries for not being pro-enforcement enough.

The problem is that amnesty will mean the newly minted Americans can apply for government jobs and compete against the demographic Washington is most sensitive to, government workers. IMO that is the only thing holding up the amnesty.

As an aside to illustrate that government workers are still a powerful force, the only local paper in New York City that is not a shadow of its former self is "The Chief" which is the newspaper of the civil service. After "The Chief" maybe El Diario and The Forward(Jewish) still have some life left in them.

Thankfully the voters had their way on this one instead of the bastard immigration coalition. Better late than never but not by much if you live anywhere near the Mexican border.

Hannity started this year in support of some form of "comprehensive immigration reform" then turned against it.

This article claims that the EL CHEAPO and Razatard lobbies are going to target 10 House Republicans whose districts have a substantial Hispanic population. The problems with that, for their cause:

1. Even in high turnout cycles, the Hispanic vote is far underneath the Hispanic population. The Hispanic vote is even less in midterms. 8.4% of all voters in 11/2012, it will be less than that nationally in 11/2014.

2. What is their campaign strategy going to be? Are they going to run general media buys complaining about how Republican incumbent won't throw the borders wide open, actually expecting the average white person in that district (a district with a lot of Hispanics) to be less likely to vote for that Republican? Or are they going to run Spanish language ads aimed at the Razas? The problem with that is that immigration is not the biggest deal in the world to Hispanic voters, so that strategy won't really have any success in goosing up either Hispanic overall turnout or the percentage of them that vote Democrat, compared to what they would do in 2014 anyway. Maybe they'll try to primary these Republicans to try to replace them with open borders Republicans, but Hispanics don't much turn out for Republican primaries.

I'd imagine they'll concentrate on their strengths:

Driving illiterates and criminals to the polls, giving them ten bucks and a dead person's name to use, and showing them which boxes to check.

Putting threatening individuals like the Black Panthers outside polling places to intimidate white voters.

Enlisting the media in accusing immigration patriots of racism, baby-roasting, seal-clubbing, and whatever else they can think of to convince nice middle-class white people not to vote for them.

Ironic, since in the Bad Old Days menacing white thugs would hang outside polling stations to discourage black voters.

Steve, I like your top and bottom v. the middle. I have long looked at the proponents of mass immigration as two towers defending a fortress. With only one tower, mass immigration enthusiasts would be relatively easy to assault, but by having two towers they can give each other and the walls cover fire. If you notice, rather than argue that cheap labor is a good thing, the wealthy immigration boosters rigidly adhere to only being in favor of diversity and fairness. The ethnic hacks on the other hand, always say that Latinos are just selflessly supporting the American economy as in, we scrub your toilets and pick your lettuce so you don't have to. Each side needs the other to carry the other's argument. If the US Chamber of Commerce types were to state their real intention, their approval ratings would drop below leprosy. In that same vein, if the ethno-whores were to state outright that their raison d'être which is so their children could take my children's birthright and become a new majority to, their ratings would be even lower.
The winning strategy is to be to pick the weakest tower and undermine it; literally. Once that has been accomplished, the other tower will become irrelevant. If you try to take both at the same time it will fail. But to do that, the anti-immigration side needs to decide whether they would rather tackle the business end of their party, who is cash rich but voter poor, or go after the ethnics, who are growing in number but are an outright minority and have no economic clout to speak of.

How about the red state Senate Democrats up in 2014 that voted for S 744? Pryor, Hagan, Landrieu even Begich. Reid made them walk the plank with that vote. They are the ones who will be punished, at least in the real world of people who actually vote in mid-terms.

The biggest problem is the Rand paul syndrome which is not to punish companies that hire illegal immigrants but put up a wall. About 40 percent of illegal immigrants come on work or tour vistas. Paul against a stronger ID system to catch vista overstays since it leads to a national ID. The right fear of National ID is why its been split on illegal immirgation for years.

Well, no conservative business person has started a company to mechanized low skilled jobs. I've seen robotic prep cooks in China not here. Anyone left or right that supports less immigration needs to get a company that will developed robots or a machine to reduce dry wall workers in construction and so forth. The politicians are basically a waste of time. If robots will doing all the farm work during George Bush reign and a machine was developed to reduce dry wallers and some mason work during Geroge Bushes time, I bet that official illegal population would have dropped about 3 million from the Clinton years instead of increasing during the Bush years.

I still can't figure out the personal advantage to the Talented Tenth-types who are selling out regular black folks in favor of cheap foreign labor.

We have the Congressional Black Caucus and all the other Hi-yalla commentators who are pimping amnesty like crazy.

Do they honestly think there are real jobs out there that black folks are going to get once tens of millions of wetbacks are legalized?

Do they think that a Third Worlded America is going to be able to pay for Negros and Mexicans, too?

Is their hatred of white people so great that they would happily destroy the economy as long as white folks were impoverished?

A hundred and twenty years ago Booker T. Washington was smart enough to see that open borders was a disaster for black folks and mentioned it in his great Atlanta Exposition speech. Even further, black folks have firsthand experience since the only reason they got jobs up north was because the 1925 (24?) Immigration Act cut off the flow of cheap foreign labor.

It seems utterly insane. Frankly, the best "pillar" to bring down (and the one that would cause the liberals the most anxiety) is the black pillar. What could a white liberal say to a black man who asked him why he was selling out and impoverishing American black folks by giving black jobs to foreigners and driving black wages down? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

After the election, Hannity started going on about the need for "comprehensive immigration reform". A lot of his viewers decided that was required instead was comprehensive Hannity reform, so they stopped watching him.

You have a point, I never see a conservative in Houston or Dallas use this argument, in fact I think blacks in Texas have lost out on the job boom because Mexicans have came in and took their jobs. I think I saw a figure of white unemployment in Texas of 4 percent and Mexican of 7 percent but black of 9 percent. Instead conservatives who liked Texas a lot don't mention that blacks have lost out on the low skilled jobs to Mexicans in their state.

Because their proximate relatives are not nursing home orderlies and dietary workers. Their proximate relatives are social workers and school administrators. More immigrants means more clientele and more jobs for people like them (more niche programs meaning more administrators).

This is simple. The Democrat Party is the party that gives Free Stuff to the brothers and sisters. Anything that helps to permanently cement the Democrat Party in power is all good.

Politicians do what works to get elected, if there were votes to be had, they'd go for them.
