The 1986 amnesty or the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which neither reformed nor controlled immigration, took in some 3 million illegal aliens. The new amnesty or Comprehensive Immigration Reform covers 12 million illegal aliens.

If 1986’s euphemistic amnesty was a mere amnesty, this is a super-amnesty four times as big as the last one. If the 1986 amnesty were a state, by population size it would only be Utah. If the 2013 Son of Amnesty were ranked as a state it would be Illinois; the 5th largest state in America.

To keep the A-word from destroying their amnesty campaign before it even began, they coined “de facto Amnesty” to describe the current state of affairs in which millions of illegal aliens aren’t deported, but aren’t granted citizenship either.

Common sense would suggest that if not deporting 12 million illegal aliens is de facto amnesty, then legalizing 12 million illegal aliens would be de jure amnesty.

ONE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TOO MANY

A U.N. official told Reuters that there were suspicions that boys of 15 or 16 were often taken back to fight, chaperoned by an uncle, elder brother or other relative.

“It’s a war crime,” the official said.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said child recruitment had not been a major problem until now because the opposition forces did not have enough arms and ammunition.

But the lifting of embargoes on supplying arms to opposition groups meant both sides would need more soldiers.

FP, owned by the Washington Post, ran an editorial in support of the Muslim Brotherhood by Tawakkol Karman, a Muslim Brotherhood activist who received a Nobel Peace Prize for her work in organizing protests against Yemen’s government.

Karman sits on the Shura Council of Al-Islah, an Islamist Party that is largely made up of the Muslim Brotherhood. Instead of identifying Tawakkol Karman as a ranking member of a Muslim Brotherhood political organization, Foreign Policy Magazine dishonestly listed her bio as follows; “Tawakkol Karman is a Yemeni human rights activist and the winner of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize.”

Whatever one may think of the Muslim Brotherhood, anyone from any political spectrum should agree that if a serious magazine runs an Op-Ed by a member of an organization in support of that organization, it should identify them as such instead of giving readers the false impression that they are an independent neutral party.

Greenfield uses the government official figure of 12 million illegals, which hasn't been changed for years. The actual number is conservatively 30 - 40 million illegals, approximately 40% of which are visa overstays.

. . . Amnesty is the final blow of liberal Republicans who would rather be red than red state. It’s the final takeover of America by the community organizers of the left who can now see their dream of taking Texas within reach, making the return of a Republican president as impossible as a balanced budget.

Amnestyville is the final pivotal battle between red and red state. Republicans who vote for it will cover their amnesty shame by pivoting to other conservative causes, but none of those will matter if the left succeeds in changing the composition of the American electorate as fundamentally as it did in the UK.

The A-bomb is a weapon of mass electoral destruction. If it goes off, then the left will have won not just the battle… but the war.

Yes, and at this point in time, almost everyone that you hear talking about it uses that 12-15 million as gospel.
