Immigration Reform Is Not About Immigration - It's About Power And Control.

To understand what "immigration reform" is about starts with understanding two simple truths: One, that this is not the first time politicians have sworn they are going to "Secure the Borders!", assuring us that "This time they really mean it!" yet our borders are still porous.

Second, one needs to understand the primary rule that drives the politics of mass illegal immigration: "If politicians and their cronies benefited from stopping mass illegal immigration it would have been stopped a long time ago and most likely would never have started."

Politicians lie. Duh. They will lie and lie again over and over, they will lie by filling thousands of pages of a bill with legalese that no one reads - but politicians are not going to stop mass illegal immigration because it is beneficial to them and their cronies. That you can count on.

This time is different only because it is for all the marbles... This bill is designed to grant unprecedented power to elite politicians of the ruling class and huge sums of money to their cronies. If "immigration reform" gets out of the House & Senate and is signed by Obama this is what itwill do:

1) The bill will ensure that poorly educated, low-skilled workers and STEM - IT (Science Technology, Engineering, Mathematics - Information Technology) workers from foreign nations will flood working-class and middle-class labor pools with cheap, compliant workers. American citizens in the working  and middle class labor pools will be "fundamentally transformed" to use Obama's term, losing jobs, working fewer hours, getting lower pay. Their lives will be "changed" in ways that benefit politicians and their cronies and devastate real American citizens.

2) The bill will import 18M to 35M (11M already here plus their relatives outside the US via "reunification") mostly under-educated, govt-dependent citizens of foreign nations and convert them into mostly under-educated, govt-dependent "pathway-citizens". And they will vote - which is the whole idea from the politician's perspective. And the overwhelming majority of those manufactured votes will go to Democrats. The bill is an corrput, artificial means to create more than enough votes to give the Democrats complete, undisputed control of the federal government in 2 to 3 national election cycles, depending on how fast liberal activist lawyers can speed up the "pathway" to become a "superhighway"...

So, why is the GOP seemingly committing political suicide to help the Democrats gain complete control of the government? Well in short, they went insanely stupid after Romney's loss and made some terrible decisions - they believed the chanting from the left and some RINOs that 'white people are going away'... Think about it: The GOP (Rubio, Ryan, et al) swear to us that in the big picture, by shifting to the center-left just this one time to push this bill through, the "Latino vote" will give the GOP a politically-significant number of votes... Even if you believe that, what Rubio/Ryan and the rest of the GOP "leadership" *don't* talk about is what the GOP will have to do *ongoing* to keep those "Latino votes" coming in election after election after election... Obviously, the GOPs shift to center-left is permanent. They think their new BFF "Latino vote" will more than offset the "old white conservatives" they lose by doing so.

And therein lies the "bipartisan" nature of this virulently anti-American escapade by our Congress and President: The agreement between Schumer-Obama (whose staff wrote 98% of the Senate bill) and Rubio/Ryan/GOP-leaders is an agreement to share the effectively absolute power that "immigration reform" gives to America's ruling elite...  

Look at it this way: If the government of a 3rd world banana republic crammed a "law" through that created a decisive and controlling number of votes out of thin air - thereby assuring the ruling class remained in power, history would call that government an "elected tyranny"...

That is why both parties are pushing "Immigration Reform" so hard - it is all about manufacturing votes to keep them in power and ensure that with all those government-dependent, easily controlled votes, there will be no democratic way to stop them from doing anything they want.
