Rules for Addressing Amnesty

I agree with all her recommendations above except the elimination of hiring highly skilled H-1B visa workers. At Bell Labs in NJ we hired many foreign workers who had skills not available in the US market relating to science and technology. We paid these workers very well and additionally picked up the costs of immigration attorneys, so it wasn't a cost-savings effort. Now the scarcity of graduate degree holders in STEM subjects is much worse. We actually need to rely on foreign workers to fill this void. Working for STEM graduate degrees has become "too hard" for our typical college student.- I'm not saying all of them because there are still Americans willing to work for these degrees but not as many as American industry needs.
I strongly agree that Republicans have to "outplay" the Progressive game of parading their gun violence victims. GOP elected officials should use every means available to showcase the nonvictims who have successfully defended themselves because they had firearms.

I am so tired of hearing about spending cuts of $2T over TEN years, with the cuts coming in the 9th and 10th year. Oh, right! All quotes of revenues and spending cuts should be on an annual basis at best or two years, since that's the tenure of House representatives. Congress will not abide by budgets passed by previous Congresses or administrations. We must also get rid of baseline budgeting that was passed by Democrats in 1974 in an attempt to get around or punish Nixon. This is an insane way to run any enterprise, but especially the fed govt, where they have no revenues other than what they TAKE from us.
I would suggest that Obama didn't become or "evolve" into a liberal activist. He cut his teeth on that ideology - he was raised by feral Marxists, especially at the knee of his American mama.

The NAACP No Longer Speaks For Me

I agree with Mr. Jackson. I think the NAACP has abandoned its charter to promote the advancement of colored people. It has morphed into a racist organization that carries the water for Leftism. They have and continue to collude with Uncle Sam to keep blacks on the plantation and dependent on their Democrat benefactors.
I take issue with your statement: "It ... dismisses the absurd rhetoric on the president's citizenship and his religion which have never been representative of even a sliver of the conservative movement." I heard you speak at the Right Online Conference you mentioned in Las Vegas recently. I would have liked to see you ask for a raise of hands of the people who doubted the place of his birth or at least the authenticity of his birth certificate. You may have been surprised to see more than a "sliver" of conversatives who had issues with this. As a resident of Maricopa County, the jurisdiction of our severely maligned Sheriff Arpaio, I have been very closely following the blogs, news stories, court cases, and Cold Case investigations.

Arizona, the Racist State?

Obama's underlying reason for non-enforcement of immigration laws among other reasons is that he fully supports a North American Union. He wants us to be like a EuroZone with open borders between Canada and Mexico. He is just pushing and pushing the envelope toward that goal. Otherwise, living in AZ like I do, I would describe his behavior as incomprehensible - but he knows exactly what he's about. On the issue of carrying "papers," unless it has been revoked, I thought all noncitizens living in the US had to carry immigration papers "on their person" as a matter of course. Therefore, I find nothing onerous in our SB1070 allowing law enforcement officers during a probable cause stop to ask for ID.
