TOPIC: Gearing up for the immigration battle

Created by: sweettart Original Starting post for this thread:
A conservative pro-immigration reform group has issued talking points to Republican lawmakers, telling them to avoid referring to the U.S. citizen children of illegal immigrants as "anchor babies" or calling for the construction of an "electric fence" on the border, among other things. The memo urges lawmakers to call them "undocumented immigrants" and to avoid terms such as "aliens" or "illegals," which are seen as offensive and dehumanizing. Another phrase to avoid? "Send them all back." "Conservatives get a bad rap when it comes to immigration reform because of a few people who say things that can be taken to be offensive," said Jennifer Korn, executive director of the Hispanic Leadership Network, the center-right group that sent the talking points on Monday. "It all means the same thing, but the way you say it matters." "Right now what's really giving me heartburn is people saying 'pathway to citizenship,'" she said. "It's not a pathway to citizenship. It's 'earned legal status.' If you want conservative support you have to explain what it is so there's not this knee-jerk reaction of 'No amnesty!'" Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida who's part of a bipartisan group of senators pushing for immigration reform, has used "earned residency" at times in interviews with conservative talk show hosts to describe what immigration reform would provide to qualifying illegal immigrants. Democrats, including Obama, often use "pathway to citizenship" to describe the bill.

By being the "exclusive" party, i.e. the White/Christian party, they get more votes in more districts. However, that does not translate well to the national stage. Not only are their views minority views, by sticking to their guns in the media spotlight, they look like idiots.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The immigration debate is threatening to split the Republican Party, pitting those who focus mainly on presidential elections against those who care mostly about congressional races. Strategists say that if Republicans are to win presidential elections, which they've been losing lately, partly because of dismal support from Hispanic voters, they must soften their rhetoric about illegal immigrants and embrace some version of "immigration reform." But granting illegal residents a path to citizenship, which critics call "amnesty," is deeply unpopular in many House Republicans' districts. President Barack Obama wants such a pathway. So do some prominent GOP lawmakers who are seeking a way out of their party's jam.

The quote goes something like this, from a hobby MC rider. Look, 99% of all motorcycle riders are law abiding citizens. Doctors, lawyers you name it. It is only the 1% of all motorcycle riders that give us a bad name. The Outlaw motor riders captured the quote and put the 1% patch on their colors vest.

" I'd respond to you Ghost, but in a battle of wits, it wouldn't be fair for me to battle with an unarmed individual such as yourself. That includes: mean, judgmental, narrow minded, hyper partisan people. Have a wonderful day! Nope, nothing to see here. Just move along.
