G.O.P. Immigration Plan

Republicans finally unveil their immigration plan-

WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell unveiled his party’s long-awaited plan on immigration on Wednesday, telling reporters, “We must make America somewhere no one wants to live.”

Appearing with House Speaker John Boehner, McConnell said that, in contrast to President Obama’s “Band-Aid fixes,” the Republican plan would address “the root cause of immigration, which is that the United States is, for the most part, habitable.”

“For years, immigrants have looked to America as a place where their standard of living was bound to improve,” McConnell said. “We’re going to change that.”
Boehner said that the Republicans’ plan would reduce or eliminate “immigration magnets,” such as the social safety net, public education, clean air, and drinkable water.

The Speaker added that the plan would also include the repeal of Obamacare, calling healthcare “catnip for immigrants.”

Attempting, perhaps, to tamp down excitement about the plan, McConnell warned that turning America into a dystopian hellhole that repels immigrants “won’t happen overnight.”

“Our crumbling infrastructure and soaring gun violence are a good start, but much work still needs to be done,” he said. “When Americans start leaving the country, we’ll know that we’re on the right track.”

In closing, the two congressional leaders expressed pride in the immigration plan, noting that Republicans had been working to make it possible for the past thirty years.

If you like your illegal alien farm laborer, you should be able to keep your illegal alien farm laborer. I don't think the government should be making those choices for you.

If Ted Cruz becomes President, it will mean that the zombie apocalypse has happened. We'll all be screwed anyway.

The precedent was set by Reagan and Bush.
 
They worked with Congress on immigration Poppy, but you are right that Presidents since FDR, from both parties, have been steadily ignoring the Constitution and expanding the powers of the executive. And we all suffer for it. Those who cheer today will be screaming tomorrow. It would be nice if both parties would return to doing things the right way.
