Hillary is a cold blooded lying calculating bitch with about as much personal integrity as a used car salesman.

I don't think she even has a vagina.

I was against the little fuckers until I decided I needed their votes.

I don't think she even has a vagina.

Hillary: I was for World War Two before I was against it.

 

[Rozman]

Debbie Wasserman Schultz was all up in Queen Hillary's face on this.

How does a woman so far into her years undergo such dramatic changes in their world view? Oh, they don't.

Like obama on gay marriage.

omg she was against illegal before she was for legal? say it ain't so...




Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is expected Tuesday to announce her support for a way to let some illegal immigrants become U.S. citizens, a move that’s likely to keep immigration reform at the center of the 2016 presidential election for the next 18 months.


According to the Associated Press, Clinton’s campaign staff said Clinton would argue that fixing the country’s immigration system will require a “full and equal path to citizenship.” Clinton plans to speak later today at a school in Las Vegas, Nevada.

While Democrats seem much closer together on immigration, the issue has tended to split Republicans more widely. Some conservative Republicans have said the deportation of illegal immigrants needs to be an option, although most shy away from deportation, and say tougher border security is needed before any further discussion about how to deal with the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants now in the country.

Clinton said Tuesday that any immigration legislation must include a path to "full and equal citizenship" and defended President Barack Obama's use of executive actions to shield millions of immigrants from deportation as a necessary move in the face of congressional inaction.

"I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship for you and for families across our country," Clinton said at a Las Vegas high school, joined in the library by students who have been protected by Obama's executive actions. "I will fight to stop partisan attacks on the executive actions that would put Dreamers ... at risk of deportation."

She added, "if Congress refuses to act, as president I will do everything possible under the law to go even further."

Taking on the GOP field, Clinton said "not a single Republican candidate" has supported a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the United States illegally. "When they talk about legal status, that is code for second-class status," she said.

Wasn't Hillary for "New Coke" before she was against it?

Clinton's words were also aimed at skeptics in immigration advocacy groups who have questioned her commitment to the issue.


Clinton voted for immigration overhaul measures in the Senate but has been tripped up by the issue in the past. During the 2008 primaries, she initially vacillated on and then opposed allowing immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to obtain driver's licenses. Her campaign said last month she now supports state policies that allow driver's licenses under those circumstances.


Last summer, Clinton drew grumbles from immigration advocates when she said unaccompanied minors from Central America should be sent back to their homes. In the fall, some young Hispanics heckled her at a few campaign events, urging her to pressure Obama to issue the executive orders.


Obama's executive actions loom large in the immigration debate. The orders included the expansion of a program protecting young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Another provision extended deportation protections to parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for several years.

Twenty-six states, including Nevada, have sued to block the plan, and a New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel is considering a challenge.

Clinton, the leading Democrat in the presidential race, signaled she would build upon Obama's executive actions if elected president as a means of pressuring Congress to overhaul the system, a goal that has eluded both Obama and his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush. The Senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill in 2013 but it stalled in the GOP-led House.

Seated in the library at Rancho High School, which has a predominantly Hispanic student body, Clinton heard from several young immigrants, most of whom came to the U.S. as children and received legal status under Obama's executive action. Many said they were worried about their families and work opportunities.

If dimocrap scum care so much about the 'working man' and the 'middle class'......

How come they're importing MILLIONS of illegal immigrants who will work twice as hard for half the money?

How come, dimocrap scum?

How much skill does it take to stand on an Assembly Line and perform a repetitive task.... Like, I dunno, mounting wheels on a new car...... All day?

How much skill?

None. Zero.

How long will it be until Auto Makers figure out that they can hire a 'dreamer' for half the wages?

Not very.

Then there's small businesses. Forget Big Businesses, small business drives this Country.

Think they're going to ignore that 'dreamer' who's willing to work TWICE AS HARD FOR HALF THE MONEY as an American?

I live in Florida and let me tell you -- There just aren't any more American Painters, American Carpenters, American Roofers, American Electricians, American -- ANything in the COnstruction Trades.

And for you stupid scumbags out there (I'm talking to you, dimocraps) the Construction Industry is the biggest employer there is - By far.

Hasn't hit your State yet? Don't worry. It will.

And the truly sick, sad part is --

dimocrap scum voters are too stupid to realize who did it to them........ the scum they voted for.

Why? You ask....


Simple. dimocrap filth DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. They just don't.

dimocrap scum imported these people for one reason and one reason only -- To shore up the dimocrap vote.

You? The American Worker?

Fuck you. They couldn't care less about you. And you're too stupid to see it so you know what?

Fuck you, too. It is absolutely hilarious to listen to dimocrap scum in here crying and pissing and moaning about 'Living Wage' and increasing the Minimum Wage.

It's fucking hilarious.

If the scum you voted for hadn't screwed everything up by letting in over TWENTY MILLION ILLEGALS....... (Not to mention the 'Anchor Babies' they squirt out every few Months [over 4 Million]) There'd be so much demand for workers that you could almost name your price.

But -- You're stupid. That's why you're dimocrap scum in the first place -- You're fucking stupid

The movement toward comprehensive immigration reform has accelerated significantly in recent months. A bipartisan “Gang of 8” in the Senate—a group of four Democratic senators and four Republican senators—released a framework for immigration reform on January 28, and the next day President Barack Obama gave a speech launching White House efforts to push for immigration reform. Both proposals contained strong language regarding the need to provide legal status for the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country, as well as a road map to full citizenship.

Some lawmakers, however, do not want to extend legal status—let alone citizenship—to the unauthorized. Others have expressed interest in stopping just short of providing full citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants, instead calling for a so-called middle-ground option—to leave undocumented immigrants in a permanent subcitizen status. To be sure, the debate over immigration reform has important legal, moral, social, and political dimensions. Providing or denying legal status or citizenship to the undocumented has implications for getting immigrants in compliance with the law, affects whether or not immigrant families can stay in their country of choice, and determines whether they have the opportunity to become full and equal members of American society.


But legal status and citizenship are also about the economic health of the nation as a whole. As our study demonstrates, legal status and a road map to citizenship for the unauthorized will bring about significant economic gains in terms of growth, earnings, tax revenues, and jobs—all of which will not occur in the absence of immigration reform or with reform that creates a permanent sub-citizen class of residents. We also show that the timing of reform matters: The sooner we provide legal status and citizenship, the greater the economic benefits are for the nation.


The logic behind these economic gains is straightforward. As discussed below, legal status and citizenship enable undocumented immigrants to produce and earn significantly more than they do when they are on the economic sidelines. The resulting productivity and wage gains ripple through the economy because immigrants are not just workers—they are also consumers and taxpayers. They will spend their increased earnings on the purchase of food, clothing, housing, cars, and computers. That spending, in turn, will stimulate demand in the economy for more products and services, which creates jobs and expands the economy.


This paper analyzes the 10-year economic impact of immigration reform under three scenarios. The first scenario assumes that legal status and citizenship are both accorded to the undocumented in 2013. The second scenario assumes that the unauthorized are provided legal status in 2013 and are able to earn citizenship five years thereafter. The third scenario assumes that the unauthorized are granted legal status starting in 2013 but that they are not provided a means to earn citizenship—at least within the 10-year timeframe of our analysis.
