One of the more annoying aspects of watching C-SPAN today was listening to one Senator after another bloviate about his immigrant ancestors. "What about your descendents?" I wanted to ask. "What impact will this bill have on them?"
Of course, that's a stupid question. They'll be all right, Jack. Grandpa was a U.S. Senator. No plebian worries for them.

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Yes, because once they retire, they'll go to work for the corporations they spent years doing favors for; make millions doing it; then pass all that money onto the grandkids free of any estate-tax.
I realize that most of the readers here are conservatives and/or Republicans, but it's time to get a grip, folks: besides open borders, the only thing W and the GOP leadership has consistently (and successfully) fought for is to reduce the estate tax, reduce taxes on capital gains, and reduce taxes on corporate dividends.
If you don't see the connection between those tax cuts and immigration - make the rich richer, and make the middle class serfs - then you're not paying attention.
Also they (senators) aren't forced to pay into that Ponzi scam known as "social security".
You must admit that it does and should feel a little hypocritical for someone like me a descendant of Sicilian and Irish immigrants who got into the USA only because the requirements where so low at the time to be against immigration. I mean Sicilian and Irish have always been 2 of the lowest groups in Europe (Irish until recently).
Republicans are by no means perfect, but they tend to be for the Patriarchy.
Reducing taxes, etc. advances the Patriarchy. In Pat Buchanan's article about the Path to Suicide, he lays much of the blame for our demographics at our own feet by pointing to our inability to reproduce ourselves and aborting our children.

The primary argument against excess immigration isn't about the quality of the immigrants, it's about their effect on quality of life. I'm not terribly fond of such arguments; but I do realize those are the only arguments that will convince some people, and they are true.
You need to ask yourself "Is all this immigration - 300 million extra people by the end of the century - good for me and mine?"
It's your country now, too. You shouldn't cut off your nose to spite your face. You should look after the interests of your descendants.
For those of us descended from immigrants, the difference between Then and Now is massive social programs. Irish and Sicilians 100 years ago could not count on Uncle Sam to dole out cheese. The Irish could hope to hook up with the local Irish political machine to set them up with a free beer and a job working at the docks. The Sicilians could hope to get a job at cousin so-and-so's grocery stand or other small business. Different kind of world back then, more personal ties.
Those of us who think the modern welfare state facilitates social evil think maybe - at least - one benefit of massive illegal immigration that has already happened will bring down the welfare dependency state. People will get sick of paying for those different looking people to reproduce and drink Kool-Aid with their Pit Bulls. Up until now, everyone was afraid of offending guilty parties by cutting off the govmint gravy train for the sake of (real) historical guilt.
If this is what it takes to cut back a bloated and unhealthy system, so be it.

Keep kidding yourself.
Immigrants are moving this nation to the left - and that means left on everything. Whites are just 70% of the population now, and barely 50% of children under 5.
Welfare won't go away. That will not happen.
