Breitbart -- While speaking at "The Uninvited II" national security forum that Breitbart News sponsored on Thursday, conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly, the founder of the influential Eagle Forum, said that amnesty legislation would be "suicide" for the conservative movement and the GOP.
The Eagle Forum released a report on how mass immigration dooms a conservative Republican Party, and Schlafly said that recent polling proves that "Republicans are fools to support any form of amnesty" or "import foreigners who reject conservative views," particularly those related to limited government.
Schlafly said that new Asian and Hispanic immigrants support Obamacare and big-government programs and even reject the emphasis on patriotism and national sovereignty that have been the backbone of conservative politics.
She said that though a Harris poll found that 81% of native-born Americans believe schools should teach patriotism, 50% of recent immigrants do not want their children to be "taught to be proud of America." That, Schlafly said, means that when conservatives emphasize the teaching of patriotism, it will offend the new immigrants.
She also emphasized that America is not only an exceptional country, but a "unique" one with its history and form of governance, which is something new immigrants need to understand while becoming "American."
She called Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) a "hero" for standing up against mass amnesty and blasted Republicans for retreating to their aptly named "retreat" to release their immigration principles. She then blasted big-business groups and the Chamber of Commerce for their desire to get cheap labor and to "hollow out our shrinking middle class."
"Why don't people get this?" Schlafly asked.
Schlafly, whose monumental book, A Choice Not an Echo, galvanized the first generation of the conservative grassroots, also told those in attendance that "you can beat the whole establishment if you make up your mind to do it and have a good strategy."
Blog author’s comments - America is "unique" as Schlafly said, that is why so many in the world are clamoring to get here. But that does not mean that those who have broken our already existing laws should be given a free pass. The low-information and no-information people have no clue. All they hear from those who are pushing for amnesty is if you are against it you must be a racist. All of the Republicans and conservatives with any integrity and intelligence also know and say that amnesty is self-destruction for the GOP.
It's some members of the Republican Party who I have to believe must think that the illegals will vote for them if they are given amnesty and citizenship who are totally wrong. They are also the same ones who oppose the Tea Party. Given that the vast majority of illegal aliens are uneducated, the majority of them are going to vote for the party that will give them the most. And that would be the Democratic Party.
Obama is pushing for amnesty because he is counting the votes for the Democratic Party. Speaker John Boehner and the GOP controlled House could put a stop to this. But Boehner is also in favor of an amnesty bill. The only bill the House should be dealing with is one to close our borders. Hopefully the House won't push through anything to do with amnesty before the midterm elections because this could hurt their chances of holding the House.
If they do hold the House John Boehner should not be the Speaker. He has done nothing positive for his party. I have no idea what he is thinking and how he expects that giving the illegals amnesty will help the Republican Party. The end of the GOP could soon come If the illegals are given amnesty. I agree with Ms. Schlafly who said "why don't people get this?", in particular some of the members of the Republican Party.
