WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican National Committee Chairman Sen. Mel Martinez rejected the claim that the new immigration bill will anger conservatives and destroy the GOP's chances to win in the 2008 election.On CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer Sunday, Martinez said immigration "could be the saving of the Republican Party, frankly. And to do nothing would be the wrong thing for the American people." Martinez is optimistic that the controversial legislation will make it through Congress, and he is counting on President Bush "to get us over the finish line."
Republican National Committee Chairman? No wonder they lost the House and Senate. If Mel doesn't think the new immigration bill will anger conservatives... Then there simply is no hope for Mel.
“Amnesty Saxby” Chambliss, soon-to-be-former senator from Georgia, was booed this morning as he addressed the state Republican convention, making the case for the Senate amnesty bill. Hilariously, he said that without a never-ending flow of foreign servile labor “we’ll simply be dependent on foreign imports for food products, the way we’re dependent on foreign imports for oil products.”
These guys should all leave the Republican Party and become Democrats. Then they would get all the approval from the media that they so desperately crave and are willing to sell the rest of us down the river for.Outside of Congress you have geniuses... Like Thomas Sowell who says:
"Just as people can do many things better for themselves than the government can do those things for them, illegal aliens could begin deporting themselves if they found that their crime of coming here illegally was being punished as a serious crime, and that they themselves were no longer being treated as guests of the taxpayers when it comes to their medical care, the education of their children, and other welfare-state benefits."
Sorry, Mr Sowell... No one in power has the sense to listen.

As some guest wisely pointed out on some talk radio show, if all the illegal farm workers left and farmers had to pay higher wages to get their strawberries picked, someone would invent a strawberry picker that would reduce the labor cost through automation. Maybe, with today's technology, it would have an optical color-reading device that would only pick the red ones.
That's the way it's always been. When a job gets expensive, someone figures out how to automate the process to get it done more cheaply. Then everyone else buys the invention. With a steady supply of cheap labor, nobody has any incentive to automate.
Chambliss is an idiot. Martinez is a mouthpiece for President Bush. Sowell is brilliant.
