Governor John Kasich on Immigration, amnesty
Art credit: beforeitsnews.com
Illegal immigration has emerged as one of the most important issues in this primary election season. Fair (Federation for American immigration Reform) summarizes some fiscal and employment impacts of illegal immigration:
This report estimates the
annual costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local level to be
about $113 billion; nearly $29 billion at the federal level and $84 billion at
the state and local level. The study also estimates tax collections from
illegal alien workers, both those in the above-ground economy and those in the
underground economy. Those receipts do not come close to the level of
expenditures and, in any case, are misleading as an offset because over time
unemployed and underemployed U.S. workers would replace illegal alien workers.
Tomorrow’s
Ohio primary is less than 24 hours away, and here’s a report from Julia Hahn at Breitbart:
With Sen. Marco Rubio
(R-FL)’s presidential hopes diminishing as his personal demons catch up with
him—from his relationship with
billionaire Norman Braman to his role in pushing Obama’s amnesty—the donor
class seems to be turning its eyes to John Kasich’s last stand in Ohio.
The hope seems to be that
a Kasich win in Ohio will not only deny GOP frontrunner Donald Trump delegates,
but will also create a new vehicle for arriving at a contested convention.
Because the Kasich campaign was
largely ignored as a non-factor prior to Rubio’s polling collapse, Kasich
went months with virtually no scrutiny of even his most bizarre
statements on the campaign trail.
However, in recent
days, Trump has increasingly set his sights on Kasich—whether it be
Kasich’s role at Lehman Brothers during the time of the economic collapse, as
well as Kasich’s support for NAFTA and Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership
agreement—a deal which Donald Trump and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) have
warned would destroy Ohio’s auto industry.
In particular, Trump has zeroed
in on Kasich’s heretofore overlooked push for massive amnesty. Though it has
transpired without much attention, Kasich has quietly amassed a string of
bizarre, peculiar, and extreme statements on immigration that places him to the
furthest leftward reaches of not just the Republican President field, but the
Democratic Presidential field as well. This perhaps underscores an element of
seriousness to Kasich’s previous declaration, which he had intended in jest: “I
ought to be running in a Democrat primary.”
Below are just some of Kasich’s
most bizarre and radical statements on immigration, which have flown under the
radar.
1) “God Bless” Illegal
Immigrants . . .
2) “I couldn’t imagine”
enforcing our current immigration laws: “That is not… the kind of values that
we believe in.” . . .
3) Kasich likened deporting the
illegal population to Japanese internment camps . . .
4) Illegal immigrants “are some
of the hardest-working, God-fearing, family-oriented people you can ever meet.”
. . .
5) Allowing ICE officers to do
their jobs is not “humane” . . .
6) America can’t deport
illegal immigrants because they are “made in the image of the
Lord” . . .
7) Kasich has called for
implementing an open borders-style policy where workers can come and go as they
please. . . .
8) Kasich would enact
amnesty within his first 100 days. . . .
9) America shouldn’t
address ending birthright citizenship because it’s “dividing people” . . .
10) Illegal immigrants should
be allowed to stay because “they’re here” . . .

Trump rallies in Ohio: just who are these protesters?
Branco cartoon credit: http://comicallyincorrect.com/
Gov. John Kasich criticized the Trump campaign for creating a “toxic” environment inthe GOP race for the presidential nomination, blaming the Trump campaign for the thug violence that resulted in a rally being postponed the other day in Chicago. But the thugs are the usual suspects: MoveOn.org, Black Lives Matter, and Communists, among others (via Gateway Pundit).
At
the Cleveland rally at the IX Center, protesters lined the access road into the
parking lot, but a few made it past security and tried to disrupt the rally.
They were thrown out, and Trump supporters chanted “Trump. Trump, Trump” while
the thugs were removed. No violence.
As Trump said, it’s not Trump supporters
who are disrupting rallies. It’s those who are supporting, in particular,
Bernie Sanders.
Cleveland and other Ohio Tea Partiers were there and reported firsthand. And
take a look at Cleveland Tea Party’s very own Ralph King backstage (below) with Mr. Trump.

Countdown to the Ohio GOP primary: Kasich and Trump
Photo credit: onpolitics.usatoday.com
It’s
coming down to a contest between Governor John Kasich and Donald J. Trump.
From
CNN Politics:
Internally, Kasich's team is
encouraged by what they see happening on the ground. Save for a series of ad
buys and a few appearances in the state, they've seen little else in the form
of an organization from Trump in the state. Marco Rubio, focused solely on
survival in Florida, and Ted Cruz, aren't planning any stops in the state.
The
only remaining campaign stops in Ohio before next Tuesday's primary are tomorrow,
Saturday, March 12, both rallies for Donald J. Trump:
The
latest polling at Real Clear Politics shows Kasich and Trump in a close race.

Confusion on the Ohio Primary Ballot ~ GOP
A day or two ago Conservative Treehouse posted a 3-minute video about Confusion on the Ohio Primary Ballot for Republican voters. The Democratic party ballot is straightforward.
Secretary
of State John Husted has finally responded with a press release that includes
the following:
State
election leaders say there is nothing unusual about the ballots, urging voters
to choose their candidates in both columns.
Cleveland
Tea Party Patriots’ Ralph King confirms that a voter’s principal choice is for
the Delegate-at-Large, but a second vote for a District Delegate / District
Alternate does not cancel out or affect the at-Large vote. So vote twice for the
candidate of your choice.
