Members of the White House Press corps laughed out loud Friday when White House Press Secretary Jay Carney tried to tell them that the amnesty bill currently being debated in Congress would “raise wages.”
When asked if immigration “was part of the economy,” Carney enthusiastically said, “It is!”
Carney then began saying, “In fact, comprehensive immigration reform,” but quickly interrupted himself to take a jab at the media. “I’m sure this is of interest to at least one reporter,” he quipped.
Carney continued, saying that the amnesty bill would “significantly reduce our deficit” and “raise wages.”
As soon as the Press Secretary said that wages would go up, the laughter of several reporters filled the room.

Democrats demand border jumpers made legal for massive voting bloc
May 19, 2013The Heritage Foundation recently issued a comprehensive report showing that Sen. Marco Rubio’s plan to instantly legalize 11.5 million illegal immigrants would add $6.3 trillion to the nation’s budget deficits over the next 50 years. Heritage assumed there are 11.5 million illegals, but other estimates put the number at 33 million, which would mean adding another $18 trillion to the deficit. To put that in perspective, the largest U.S. budget deficit in history was $1.4 trillion in 2009.
Currently, the average illegal alien gets about $24,721 in taxpayer-funded benefits and pays about $10,334 in taxes. After full legalization, they will be eligible for a whole new panoply of government benefits such as direct welfare payments, Obamacare, Social Security and Medicare. Heritage concludes that the total government benefits to these former illegal aliens will then rise to about $43,900 per household, while the taxes paid by them will increase only modestly to around $16,000.
Rubio says Heritage’s report is all wrong because it fails to use “dynamic scoring.”
Term “Illegal Immigrant” dropped by 22MOON – switching to “Border Jumper”
April 7, 2013After the Associated Press on Tuesday decided to drop the term “illegal immigrant” and expunge it from its style guide (used by nearly every journalist), activists then immediately began to demand other publications follow suit.
Jose Antonio Vargas, the illegal immigrant who has gained publicity in recent years after he revealed that he did not have citizenship or legal status, tweeted, “You’re next, @nytimes, @latimes, @washingtonpost, @WSJ. No human being is illegal.”
11 things King Obama is doing to promote more border jumping
March 11, 2013Why does it seem like Barack Obama has been doing everything that he can to sabotage our border security and promote more illegal immigration? The number one responsibility of the president of the United States is to defend our nation, and yet Obama stubbornly refuses to secure our borders. In fact, he has been doing quite a bit to make it even easier for millions more drug runners, gang members and welfare parasites to enter our country illegally. This is utter insanity.
