Sunday Talk Review-CBS, Peter King Shines

The immigration was the issue of debate between Peter King and Ken Salazar. King overran Salazar.

King drives home the fundamental objections to the compromise bill, beginning with the fundamental problem that it dilutes already existing immigration law. King proposes enforcing current employment laws and shutting down the border. Such approaches, King argued would dry up the jobs, sending many current illegals home, and make unlawful entry and re-entry more difficult. Ultimately, King concludes this would allow the market and the government to properly fix the need for migrant labor and get control over its importation.

Salazar response was to make the choice between a Planet of the Apes type round out and mass deportation and doing nothing, which didn’t respond to King’s argument that enforcement would reduce the numbers of illegals through attrition, obviating the need for mass deportations. Salazar indicated that the payment of fines and other penalties defeat the notion of amnesty, which is true in a technical legal sense.

King looked good and was as feisty as I had hoped. We need more guys like Peter King.

Our raison d'être here at TRS

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill

We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.

In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.

Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.
