UPDATE: O.C. Register editorial writer Brian Calle weighed in on the Lincoln Club’s proposal this Sunday, admitting that “Calls for amnesty for illegal immigrants or even a pathway to citizenship are taboo among Republicans, who fear potential conservative backlash for merely broaching the issue. Yet, 67 percent of all Latino voters, and 64 percent of Latino Republicans, support a pathway policy. And 58 percent of Americans support the same approach.”
Martin Wisckol reported this week that the Orange County Lincoln Club, a group of rich Republican businessmen, has “announced an immigration-reform proposal that would provide a path to legal residency for illegal immigrants.” Of course Wisckol reported this without questioning any of it.
That sounds great but it isn’t true. Oh sure, the Lincoln Club wants us to think they have broken with the usual GOP hatred of Mexican immigrants, but upon further review their plan is just indentured servitude – without U.S. citizenship.
What the Lincoln Club is advocating is:
Latino voters should tell the Lincoln Club and the GOP to stop pandering. They aren’t getting our votes, period. The Democrats aren’t much better – deportations have skyrocketed under President Obama, but they are still preferable to the Mexican-hating Republicans.
Until the Republicans learn to stop hating Mexicans they will continue to lose elections – and eventually their party will become a dwindling third party.

I bet that there is no immigration-reform which would satisfy you Admin, and if there is please show us how should these three(3) point s look like.
1. border - ?
2. work - ?
3. ID - ?
Other - ?
Simple Fiala. Another amnesty would turn our economy around in a jiffy. And it would shore up the Ponzi scheme that is Social Security.
"Simple Fiala. Another amnesty would turn our economy around in a jiffy"......... Hmmmmm
Do you have any prove of that Admin? If yes present it to the Lincoln Club which will happily adopt it.
In contrast, there was Reagan's amnesty which did nothing for economy but more illegals after amnesty deadline.
Many who could did not even applied.
Somehow, you must understand that we still operate on the bases of the supply and demand.
If there is currently 10%+ unemployment there is no demand, so there is no need for labor, so if there would be an amnesty it would create gigantic legal unemployed force subject to legal welfare.
Somehow you must also understand that USA is not economically viable to absorb new emigrants legally or otherwise.
Before you can have any amnesty you must get an administration which can create growing economy.
Democrats can't do it and you are democrat.... so?
Demand? An amnesty would allow thesr folks to buy cars, appliances, and homes. And they could open bank accounts.
Under Reagan the economy grew. The amnesty was part of that.
Annex Mexico, problem solved.
Like we solved Iraq and Afghanistan? No thanks.
What’s wrong Admin, you don't care for Mexicans ?
Alas poor Cook, you have become a tad bit addled. It is the Lincoln Club that doesn't care for Mexicans.
An amnesty would allow thesr folks to buy cars, appliances, and homes: Not if there is unemployment!
And they could open bank accounts Illegals can open bank accounts!
Under Reagan the economy grew: Because of Reaganomics January 20, 1981 – January 20, 1989 not an amnesty. The amnesty come in his second term when everything was running 1986 “amnesty” bill.
The amnesty was part of that: Wrong!
Somehow you must stop this Mexican dream and think American.
An amnesty would decrease unemployment as immigrants would increase consumption and some would open new businesses.
"It is the Lincoln Club that doesn’t care for Mexicans".... Hmmmmm
It is Admin who hates OCCUPY by Americans and loves OCCUPY by illegal Mexicans.
Regarding the Mexican immigration, legality of it and its impact on the economy -- you are total nutcase.
I daresay that Mexicans are more productive than the unwashed Occupy horde...
As for the economic boon that an amnesty would bring...here are a few articles for you to read:

Enjoy!
Admin has obviously never crossed the US-Canadian border. Canadians enjoy a high standard of living and have universal healthcare but Canadian officials take order security very seriously.
Here are a few articles to disabuse you of that notion:

"here are a few articles for you to read"...... Hmmmmm
All leftist liberal pro Latino crapola.
However, that does not mean that I am not pro immigration reform -- I am simply opposing your irrational approach which actually alienates any possible support for it.
Wrong again. Those who oppose real immigration reform are mostly racists. In time they will die and the next generation will not be such a bunch of haters,.
"Wrong again. Those who oppose real immigration reform are mostly racists. In time they will die and the next generation will not be such a bunch of haters"...... Hmmmmm
FYI, I am against Latino occupation of the USA and I am not hater and next generation will be even more pissed off than I am.
Since 1986 amnesty 20,000,000 Latinos unlawfully invaded and OCCUPIED USA. That means every 30 years we will go thru same process again.
I recall that Reagan's amnesty did not met such resistance as did this one.
Next one will create a war and some annexation of the incompetent state of Mexico -- same losers as is Spain!
The reason is that Latinos are not entrepreneurial and rely on the government's handouts thus antagonizing rich in their country. (See Spain economy and compare it to German one).
For that reason they must emigrate and because they are pro union leftists in their own countries they do same in USA and destroying the American dream which is based on an OPPORTUNITY.
See all Latino politicians in California Rep. or Dem. and in between, they are all leftist garbage.
This time it will not end as you will like it to end. Since it is Leftists which are destroying the economy (I do not expect you to understand that); and because majority Latinos are Leftists the economy is destroyed by the Latinos; and because majority Latinos are Mexicans it is them who are destroying the American dream.
Relax, it will play itself out as best as it can but do not expect that it will favor the Latinos and do not call people who are defending American dream haters.
That makes you look really like moron mongoloid aka Nelson and Diamond.
Maybe, you should put your crapola believes on the cardboard paper and join Santa Ana OCCUPY together with Pulido's friend Alex Vega the lumpenproletariat.
Most Latinos are not nearly as liberal as the Occupy jokers. Most are just trying to raise their families in peace.
"Most Latinos are not nearly as liberal as the Occupy jokers"..... Hmmmmm
Look the picture above!
There is nothing liberal about that picture.
