About
two-thirds of an iceberg is underwater. The underwater portion in the
case of a Republican Dream Act is the 1965 Act's expanded family
reunification rules allowing new citizens to sponsor not only spouse and
minor children, but also siblings, PARENTS, etc.
So instead of about 3
million, you would get 6 to 9 million, and probably with much Democrat
sympathy and encouragement for speedy execution. However, it will get no
cheers from the unemployed or underemployed, or any thinking person who
desires an improved job market. Also, as a very reliable rule of thumb,
amnesties beget more amnesties AND more illegal immigrants.
Review the fiscal and
political consequences of such move, and you will find the proposed
Boehner-Cantor Republican Dream Act to be a golden chalice filled with
deadly economic and political poison. Lets
hope that very few Republican members of Congress fall for this
Republican Party and nation destroying back door to a major amnesty.
The RMS Titanic
received 8 iceberg warnings before gashing its starboard side on an
iceberg and sinking a few hours later. Lets hope the sinking of the
Titanic does not become an appropriate analogy to the Republican Party
sinking itself by a failure to see past the emotional appeal of
amnesties to the reality of their deadly fiscal, economic, and political
consequences.
The Heritage Foundation has some other good reasons to avoid a Republican Dream Act.
Write, call, fax,
email, or visit your Member of Congress ASAP to make sure they are not
on the path to national, Republican, and their own political disaster.
