I find it quite ironic
That Republicans are whining about how illegal immigrants will steal our jobs, take taxpayer provided services and even possibly hurt social security (jackass on Rita Crosby suggested that tonight).

Yet they have zero problem letting major corporations jettison all of their work overseas with outsourcing. They have no struggles with constantly cutting programs aimed for the poor on their own while running up the debt for our children and balancing the economy on the backs of the poor while the rich get free passes through ridiculous tax breaks.

They also had no problem allowing the investing class take a stab at avoiding paying into Social Security with their poorly planned Social Security overhaul idea.

To me, they should shut their mouths on what immigrants take from Americans because no amount of illegal immigrants steals from us as much as they do.

1. and they don't have an objections to
American corporations "off shoring" their offices to a mail box in the Caymans to avoid their taxes either.

5. I love it myself when they claim Republicans stand for tax reform
When in actuality they stand for eliminating social welfare and replacing it completely with corporate welfare. They're doing a good job at that currently.

Hypocrites.

2. It's no coincidence. Same tactic that has always been used--distraction.

3. Delicious Irony
Republicans complain that Democrats are marching America to a European-style welfare state, and here they are defending it.
