"Appearing on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Mr. Matthews argued that the reason illegal immigrants are flooding the U.S. borders is not for welfare opportunities or crime — it’s for jobs, and he said the best way to slow the influx is to ban businesses from hiring illegals."
“As long as we say you have to get papers to work in this country, it’ll work,” he said. “And nobody wants to say it. You know why? Because Republicans want the anti-immigrant vote and the Democrats want the pro-immigrant vote and the immigrant vote, but nobody wants a bill — a compromise. Somebody’s got to lead and say, ‘You know what? Game’s over. It’s time to get something done.’

I think it was Ed Meese who said, "Obviously crime pays, or else there wouldn't be so much crime."
That's the upside of this illegal immigrant situation.
American children can learn that valuable lesson as soon as they're old enough to understand the news.
Pandering to drunken Irishmen who have tingly legs? Perhaps he had a stroke.
Rats jumping a sinking ship.
Parasite: Stop harming the host.
Nice try Chris, but you are one step behind in your progressive philosophy. Go read about the Cloward and Piven strategy and get back to us.
I do appreciate your return, if only momentary, to the political sensibilities you saw between Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neil.
They times they are a changin', though, and today's proggs are a different breed, for whom compromise is not a welcome idea.

True. But politicians can read poll numbers. And I think beheadings and Ebola are putting a whole new face on things, even for folks who fancy themselves "progressives". So I think hacks like Matthews will be more and more be inclined to shout down the hardliners.
Obama: Stop making Tingles look bad.
Obama: Stop pandering
Q: But if he stops pandering, what will he do?
A: Focus on fundraising.
And where are all these funds that he's raising actually going.
I'd want to know that, if I gave a shit about whether progressive donors are being ripped off by their opinion leaders.
The end of the Democrat Party.
They've been pandering since they backed the plantation owners.
"As long as we say you have to get papers to work in this country, it'll work."
Papers? We don' need no steenkin' papers!
Sometimes, that tingle up your little leg means that you have a urinary tract infection.
Surely there's a commentator at Telemundo willing to do the job Matthews wont do.
Jason Mattera went to Lois Lerner's house, as a journalist, to ask her questions the mainstream pro-democrat hack press won't ask of her.
In response, Bob Beckel thinks Jason Matera is un-American, calls him a punk and wants to knife fight him.
This is the modern progressive movement. Just as Haz states. No compromise. It is all: HOW DARE YOU QUESTION US.
PS - Lois Lerner attempts to give Jason the slip by entering a neighbor's house and the neighbor wouldn't let her in. LOL! karma, biotch.
We are the only nation on the planet that doesn't protect its border.
We won't be a nation for long.
Bob Beckel is such a bigmouth know-nothing librul. I am regularly amazed when he expresses ignorance of well known Americans. He sounds like an 80 year old geezer not a 60 year old doofus but I guess that is how you end up if you spent half your life as a coke snorting drunk and drug addict.
Mattera's questions were asked politely. There should be a pile of mainstream reporters camped outside Lerner's door asking the very same.
The #1 reason America is lost is because we no longer have an honest press. Every once in a while the hack press sobers up, but it too is a grand scheme and manipulation to help the Clinton machine. Obama is going under the bus soon.
Imagine the scorn and hatred Barack Obama's mother felt for America. There wasn't one wistful feeling for the US in that little monster's head. And she distilled the essence of that hatred and passed it on to her child, keeping the bilious residue for herself to choke on.
And then people voted for that boy when he became a man -- a man who daily requires the advice and approval of women you wouldn't trust either.
While appreciating the simile, calling that boy a man is a leap, no matter his present political status.
Matthews now thinks that Obama failed him, rather than leftism itself, but leftists are completely fucking stupid and believe despite all the goddamned evidence over the last 150 years that they just need one more try!.
Obama's outcomes are in fact his best work.
He is the left's best work.
It's exactly what I thought he was capable of.
It's all the left is capable of.
Wrap all that America-hatred in shiny wrapping paper, and slather it with a good empty platitude filled speech and add a crisp pant crease - and viola!
Our empty headed culture swoons.
I agree Pogo. Obama is an example of the left's best work.
Stop pandering to Gwyneth Paltrow.
I'm not sure that being a clueless Beverly Hills elite is what we mean by "minority", but it is the only people Obama talks to. He comes to L.A. all the time, and I bet he never talks to a black person who isn't a millionaire. It's kind of a reverse Midas touch: if you turn to gold, he'll touch you.
When can we nuke Hollywood?
I don't wanna hurt anybody but this is getting out of control.
I sincerely suggest Bob Beckel, fat arse that he is, not try to physically take on a young dude like Jason Mattera.
Even if Mattera knows nothing of elementary karate, he can learn a couple moves quickly...three moves, short hard right cross punch to the nose, step past to the left, elbow jam to the ear in passing then pivot around and do a leg sweep from behind...rolly polly goes down. From there he's toast.
Hell, my then teenage daughter learned that in very few exercise lessons. And, yep, I was summoned to her high school a few times to explain why I taught her those things. Of course she was suspended for a couple days, each time...time we used to go do fun things, as she was an A student otherwise.
