Another Argument of Amnesty Proponents Debunked
 
Arguments adduced in favor of the Comprehensive Immigration Bill pending in the Senate have been marked by shoddy thinking, specious reasoning, outright falsehoods, and breathtaking intellectual dishonesty.
Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute, debunks one of the weakest, yet often cited, defenses of President Bush’s Comprehensive Immigration Scheme — that if we don’t accept the Senate Bill, the Republican Party will lose Hispanic votes (as if Hispanics, as a voting bloc, have ever been solidly in the Republican camp).
While were on the subject of spurious arguments offered in support of amnesty along with its attendant mind-numbing cost projections, read Kate O’ Beirne’s response to a recent Wall Street Journal open borders editorial in which they (predictably) attempt to refute the notion that legalizing huge swaths of illiterate and low skilled illegal immigrants from Central American will have a negligible effect on American Taxpayers.
