For a long time, I’ve made the point that the Republican Party is not really a political party, in the sense that it is a coalition held together by common interests. Instead, it is more like a dumping ground for politicians, who no longer fit in with the Democrats. About a third of Republican office holders would prefer to be huddling with the Democrats, but the voters of their home district or state have decided the Democrats are too crazy, so ambitious politicians run as Republicans. The result is a party held together by convenience.

You see that with the immigration disaster brewing in the House. As it stands the GOP could simply do nothing on immigration and ride the wave of popular support into the election. That would be the smart thing. Instead, they are trying to pass an immigration bill, that has no chance of making it through the Senate. Now, this could be good politics, if it is popular with their voters. Instead, they are about to pass a bill highly unpopular with their voters and sure to remind Trump supporters why they hate the GOP.
A leaked draft of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) amnesty deal could lead to the “biggest” amnesty for illegal aliens in United States history, experts tell Breitbart News.
Ryan’s immigration deal would go beyond giving amnesty to only the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens who are enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.According to a leaked draft of the amnesty deal, obtained by Breitbart News, Ryan’s plan would allow the entire “DACA population” to be eligible for amnesty so long as they meet low educational, work and criminal requirements, prompting the amnesty to explode in size.
That DACA population could include the nearly 3.5 million DACA-enrolled and DACA-eligible illegal aliens, and even more illegal aliens who arrive in the U.S. to fraudulently obtain the amnesty.
NumbersUSA Governmental Affairs Director Rosemary Jenks told Breitbart News that Ryan’s amnesty will — at the least — allow 1.8 million illegal aliens to stay in the U.S.
“This has the potential to turn into the biggest amnesty we’ve ever had,” Jenks said.
The leaked amnesty deal reveals that Ryan and the Republican establishment may even be considering going beyond giving amnesty to DACA illegal aliens.
A second amnesty is included in the leaked draft, one that would allow the children of temporary foreign guest workers and “anyone who has a ‘contingent nonimmigrant status’” to apply for the amnesty.
This amnesty for the children of temporary foreign workers does not have a numerical cap, allowing for an endless amount of foreign nationals to obtain amnesty through this avenue known as “Pathway Concept B.”
“The winners are the DREAMers cause they get their amnesty, Democrats because they don’t have to concede much to get the amnesty and donor-class Republicans who are interested in perpetuating the current system,” Center for Immigration Studies Director of Policy Jessica Vaughan told Breitbart News of Ryan’s leaked amnesty deal.
It is tempting to blame this on the secret “donor party” that allegedly manipulates the inner party, like some sort of Turkish conspiracy. There’s no doubt that agriculture lobbies and the tech industry push hard for unlimited “guest worker” visas. No matter how many indentured servants they are granted, it is never enough. But, who is pushing for amnesty? In whose interests is it to hand a ballot to millions of foreigners? That actually hurts the cheap labor lobby, as it removes exploitable people from the labor pool.
This is an example of why so-called conservatives lost every fight over the last thirty years. They start with the assumption that the other team is working from facts and reason, motivated by a desire for some tangible goal. In this case, immigration patriots will demand everyone believe Paul Ryan is getting sacks of cash to push this ridiculous amnesty bill through the House. Sure, some of the provisions are bought by lobbyists, but the amnesty stuff has no obvious constituency in the Republican Party.
The fact is, people are more often motivated by a desire to be seen as on the side of angels, even if it brings personal risk. Just look at the number of pols who have driven a hole into their career opposing Trump. As they go under for the last time, they are smugly certain they are doing the Lord’s work. For many in our political class, open borders is entirely a moral issue now. They want to grant the blessing of your town to the world, because they feel righteous as they watch it play out from their guarded communities.
This suicidal altruism is not just confined to the political class. Any time the immigration question comes up, there are people who will blurt out “I’m not opposed to legal immigration. it is illegal immigration I oppose.” That’s why the political class is working to legalize every conceivable form of immigration. If there are literally no laws against coming here, then there can be no illegal immigration and everyone is happy. It’s the natural result of sacralizing the immigrant. The only question is about how best to worship him.
It’s why arguments from facts and reason about immigration have had no impact on the political class. Even as the public begins to get serious about the issue, the politicians are unresponsive, because they correctly see the immigrant remains a magical figure in the mind of the public. Until a large majority of the voters become hostile to immigration in the spiritual sense, the political class will continue to worship migrants. Yeah, the cheap labor lobbies play into this and exploit it, but the root problem here is immigrant worship.
“The result is a party held together by convenience”.
Both parties are held together by convenience, expedience, and lies.
Republicrats and Demicans.
To quote Larry Elder, “There isn’t a dimes worth of difference”.
Opposite sides of the same coin.
The Republican and Democratic parties are private clubs like the Shriners. Just because you are registered as one of either, does not mean you are “part of the club”, you have to join officially by signing up. Most people don’t even know this simple fact. The objective of the ‘club’ is power and influence, nothing more and nothing less. Either will say or do anything in order to meet those ends. Period.
TPTB Elite Oligarch’s Emigration Policy is the same as their Public Education Policy: dumb down the students/workers to create Democrat Plantation Slaves. They have sold the Useless Idiots on Affirmative Action Emigration: anti-White, anti-Quality, anti-Meritocracy, anti-America. Nobody did it “better” than Queer Obama.
“It’s called the American Dream; ’cause ya gotta be asleep to believe it.”

The owners of our country want modern day share croppers (even slaves would get free housing). As George Carlin used to say, “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”
The middle class needs to realize that it only came into existence due to using political force to shut down immigration in 1922-1965. Sure, there was a middle class before then, but nothing on the scale and scope of the 20th century.

Immigrant worshipping , maybe some but fact is these people are traitors to our nation.I have grown to expect it from the liberals progressives but it’s the Republicans that I detest more then anyone. They have lied over and over.They have control of both houses and could stop legal and illegal immigration right fucking now.Trump could use his pen to stop this shit today but he won’t for they all are sell outs. I hate them with a passion. I know now how easy I could become a mass killer.
“The fact is, people are more often motivated by a desire to be seen as on the side of angels, even if it brings personal risk.”
That isnt a fact. That’s a load of bullshit. That’s what that is. You want a fact, how about this: the country is run by people who either worship Moloch or are members of the unspeakable (((cabal))) who worship their own demons even darker than Moloch. This amnesty crap is only one chapter in the story of the destruction of the caucasain and western culture in general, a story that people refuse to believe is not fiction.
Wish some hometown conservative cheese head would clock that arrogant Eddie Munster-looking MFer.
Badger that prick.
Just another detestable lawmaking politician.
Paul Ryan is a cheap whore. He has all the political savvy of a crack whore. These Lincoln Log Cabin freaks wouldn’t know altruism if it ran them over in a Main Battle Tank. Get out yer wallet and buy some cabbage for a head cheap political whores.
Sheldon Adelson, The Koch Bros, Mikey Bloomberg, and the rest of the Soylent Green ingredients. They have the greed they need to damn themselves. These invaders hate the rich, want to exterminate the Jews and make Israel a pile of smoldering ruins. Amazing what some cheap wampum can do to the funny hat people huh?
and Ryan thinks he will run for president some day – LoL. Now I know why Romney picked Ryan, they are both RINOs. Ryan will never be president, and the people of Utah will be called idiots if they vote for Mitt the carpet bagger.
This is true. The immigrant is a problematic person. The only place I’ve heard this stated, ironically, was an Indian move that I was watching. It was a silly movie (not intentionally silly), but he told me to watch it to get an idea of what “Bollywood” produces. In it, one of the characters is an Indian living in London: he says the immigrant is a problem because for him the old country never changes. In reality the country he left has moved on, and these days, that means it may be unrecognizable to the person who left it 10 years ago. However, the immigrant is unable to fully embrace the new country, either. So he starts to idealize the old country or some aspect of it: the religion, the ethnic group or race or what have you. For him, the old country never changes.
This leads to problematic people. Look at the Ukrainian “diaspora”, in Canada especially. Many have only a very weak connection to the old country. Some have never even visited it. But there they are proudly displaying the flag and wearing those stupid folk dresses or shirts. Bunch of bullshit. Politically, they help to wreck relations with Russia, which doesn’t do anything for the West. I realized Ukraine was a bullshit country when the NY Times was interviewing some of the “protesters” on the Maidan: not a single, solitary one wanted to remain there and help make the country a better place. All three or four intended to leave as soon as they were “done” with their little protest.
America is a kind of a bullshit country precisely because it is made up of immigrants. It is one reason Americans are so selfish and individualistic and unable to organize to oppose the political class.
You can call bullshit on most people, by simply asking the question, “Well, what the fuck are you doing here then?” Love Mexico, well, wtf are you doing here? Love Ukraine, well, wtf are you doing here? Want a revolution, well, wtf are you doing here sitting on your fat ass?
