As I write the title to my post, I realize it is not the politics of immigration that creates consternation. It is not immigration that is at issue. It is whether those immigrating are legal or not.
I would love to be able to give you facts and figures. However, to be honest I 
have no idea where to obtain reliable information. The tea baggers are busy disseminating their propaganda. They cannot be trusted to provide real data. Just like their name sakes, tea-baggers are so busy putting their balls in your face they forget the reality of getting the job done.
The liberal set is so 
busy defending everyone’s right to be here, they have skewed data as well. The US Government has no idea what they are doing and are therefore useless.
The world has become so divisive that there is no longer any reality. Hell, we even create ‘reality TV shows’ which are the most unrealistic thing on TV.
My message today is give up! We will know the truth, just watch the world go to hell in a hand basket and have a beer. Buy me one?
oh by the way…thought I’d share this email I received with you. It’s bullshit like most of the stuff I get from teabaggers. Just another scrotum full of spew.
Here is some political truth for ya.
BODGET DEEMED, NOT PASSED
So, you still think you are living in free country and not in a Democrat dictatorship?
House Democrats ‘Deem’ Faux $1.1 Trillion Budget ‘as Passed’

Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that “deemed as passed” a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the “deeming” document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget.
The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed.
Never before — since the creation of the Congressional budget process — has the House failed to pass a budget, failed to propose a budget then deemed the non-existent budget as passed as a means to avoid a direct, recorded vote on a budget, but still allow Congress to spend taxpayer money.
House Budget Committee Ranking Member Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) warned this was the green light for Democrats to continue their out-of-control spending virtually unchecked.
“Facing a record deficit and a tidal wave of debt, House Democrats decided it was pol itically inconvenient to put forward a budget and account for their fiscal recklessness. With no priorities and no restraints, the spending, taxing, and borrowing will continue unchecked for the coming fiscal year,” Ryan said. “The so-called ‘budget enforcement resolution’ enforces no budget, but instead provides a green light for the Appropriators to continue spending, exacerbating our looming fiscal crisis.”
As we reported on HUMAN EVENTS, CBO issued a dire warning about the long term outlook for the budget.
“Yesterday, the Congressional Budget Office rang the latest fiscal alarm with the release of The Long-Term Budget Outlook,” Ryan said. “Today, Congress again hit snooze. To avert a fiscal and economic calamity, Washington needs to wake up.”
Key points from the House Republican Budget staff on the House Democrats’ deeming resolution:
- This is not a budget. The measure fails to meet the most basic, commonly understood objectives of any budget. It does not set congressional priorities; it does not align overall spending, tax, deficit, and debt levels; and it does nothing to address the runaway spending of Federal entitlement programs.
- It is not a ‘congressional budget resolution.’ The measure does not satisfy even the most basic criteria of a budget resolution as set forth in the Congressional Budget Act.
- It creates a deception of spending ‘restraint.’ While claiming restraint in discretionary spending, the resolution increases non-emergency spending by $30 billion over 2010, and includes a number of gimmicks that give a green light to higher spending.
- It continues relying on the flawed and over-sold pa y-as-you-go [pay-go] procedure. Pay-go – which Democrats have used mainly to raise taxes, and have ignored when it was inconvenient – does nothing to reduce deficits or restrain spending growth in existing law.
- Outsourcing fiscal responsibilities. The measure is another hand-off by the Democratic Majority of Congress’s power of the purse – this time relying on the Fiscal Commission created by the President to do Congress’s job.
