Tea party leader says now is time to fix immigration system
One of the original organizers of the tea party movement said Wednesday that the time has come for conservatives to agree to tackle the immigration issue, adding fuel to the push for Republicans to agree to a bill this year.
Sal Russo, who co-founded the Tea Party Express in 2009 and remains the group’s chief strategist, said he didn’t want to dictate the outlines of a deal and didn’t embrace a specific type of legalization, but said it’s time for conservatives to gain a voice in the debate. . . .
“'Today, a lot of conservatives, when they hear immigration reform, what they really hear is amnesty. And that vocabulary needs to change. It’s in our interest to change the broken immigration system,' he told reporters in a call arranged by other conservative advocates who back legalizing illegal immigrants.
Legalization of invaders is not amnesty?
"Mr. Russo said the immigration issue won’t rate high in tea party endorsements. He said he expects groups to focus instead on core economic issues."
Being invaded by tens of millions of the third-world uneducated unemployed is not a core economic issue?
"polling data showed that a majority of voters who sympathize with the tea party would be open to granting legal status to illegal immigrants, with strict conditions attached." . . .
Even when strict conditions will obviously go unenforced?
