29 Quotes by Dan Stein

What it will really do is separate the true reformers from those who want cheap labor.

What the WGA has endorsed is not an immigration plan 'based in reality,' but a surrender plan based on capitulation to cheap labor interests. What is needed, and what the American public is demanding, is a true enforcement plan that is based in reality and the political will to enforce this nation's laws.

Border Security and enforcement need to be the number one priority. Until we fix our broken borders, we can't address immigration reform in any meaningful and constructive way. We believe the Nelson, Sessions, Coburn Amendment is moving in the right direction by looking at an enforcement only bill as a top priority.

Every politician, and certainly every president, worries about how history will remember them. This administration and this Congress will either be remembered as the people who sent the nation hurtling down the path to catastrophic overpopulation, or the leaders who looked beyond the next election cycle and set the nation on a course of sustainable growth, with a vibrant and productive middle class.

Rather than creating conditions that allow American workers to fill jobs at higher wages, what the president is proposing merely converts low wage illegal aliens into low wage workers with visas. Our economy would have to adapt if the influx of cheap foreign labor is ended, but that is an adjustment strongly desired by a majority of Americans, whether native-born or foreign-born. The concept that our economy must be served by a permanent under-class of foreign guest workers is reprehensible and unacceptable.

That's how we ought to feel when we see an amnesty. People crashing the borders, breaking the law, getting ahead of the line. Telling the guy who waits patiently and plays by the rules that he's a sucker.

This administration ignored warnings that we were not prepared to deal with the aftermath of the war in Iraq. They ignored warnings that we were not prepared to deal with the aftermath of a serious hurricane along the Gulf coast. And, just to maintain foolish consistency, they seem determined to move ahead with the most massive expansion of immigration in the history of mankind, in spite of warnings that we are not prepared to manage such a program.

A massive guest worker program is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The real problem is a relentless assault on middle class workers in this country. The people gathering outside Sen. Feinstein's office will be seeking her leadership to save the middle class worker, before they really do become rarer than the California condor.

They need to fix the system. Not only do they need to make the enforcement commitments work, they need to reduce immigration ... and eliminate the nepotistic family chain migration system that fuels the seeds of unmanageable immigration growth.
