The Black Leadership Alliance, with the support of bipartisan activists including the Tea Party, are standing up to the forces of Amnesty.
Well, that didn’t take long. The recent conservative arguments have really been effective to turn the tide in the Senate Gang of Eight immigration reform bill. The CBO projections, which found that illegal immigration will not be addressed, no doubt had given the conservative opposition the ammo that would have an impact on public opinion.
The Senate, in a 68-32 vote, passes immigration bill that would legalize millions of illegal immigrants while supposedly boosting border security, sending the bill to the House where it faces an uncertain fate.
On June 26, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) addressed fellow conservatives in a Senate floor speech on immigration. In addition, Marco Rubio released an open letter addressing concerns raised by Tea Party activists and leaders in the conservative movement on immigration reform.
Democrats are not sincere in their promise to increase border security, because if they do, it will lead to their ultimate demise. I understand that the mainstream media and the GOP’s Washington Beltway pundits are pushing a narrative that is diametrically opposed to my claim, but make no mistake, they are either lying or flat-out too dumb to see the political game that they are playing – and losing.
In the debate over immigration reform, the narrative is being cemented that it is the GOP against the world, and the GOP against itself. Instead of hyperbole, I figured it was about time to look Inside the Numbers in order to get a more comprehensive understanding of the debate dynamic.

Well, conservatives have been looking for someone who can articulate their position on immigration reform, and Senator Ted Cruz from Texas is turning out to be the man that Marco Rubio is not.
The bipartisan immigration reform bill currently under consideration in the Senate would supposedly shrink the deficit by $197 billion over the next decade and $700 billion during the 10 years that followed, the “non-partisan” Congressional Budget Office estimated in a report released Tuesday.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill on Tuesday. It will go to the Senate floor after the Memorial Day recess. Heritage has pointed out the problems with this “comprehensive” approach — including the staggering and a failure to secure the border.
