Koch Brothers: RINO-ing out on illegal aliens.

In yet another sign of the decline and fall of the principle-less GOP Breitbart is reporting the Koch Brothers are sponsoring a pro-Amnesty Buzzfeed event.

Here's the thing:

Anyone having been in, or currently present, or violating our immigration laws in the future should be permanently banned from legal residence and/or citizenship.

Anyone here illegally should be deported or self-deported by ending their massive benefit-package and by arresting/confiscating the assets of those who hire them.

The idea that we can even remotely do the Reagan Amnesty Replay and expect a different outcome goes right to the heart of the definition of insanity.

I will oppose any politician, regardless of party or position, who supports any policy but the one I've stated here.

Any policy remotely resembling the sell-out policies of Rubio... anyone shilling that policy... is unfit for elective office in my opinion.

Realistically, Rubio's sellout solves nothing any more than Reagan's debacle.  In fact, it just makes it worse, because this nation lacks the testicles to do what has to be done, no matter how unpleasant or difficult that may be.

An event touting itself as an evening of immigration reform discussion with a "diversity of opinion" turns out to be slanted heavily towards "comprehensive immigration reform." The BuzzFeed Brews Special Edition: Immigration Summit, sponsored by the Charles Koch Institute, will take place Tuesday, May 14th from 6 PM - 8 PM Eastern Time. The Charles Koch Institute is an educational offshoot of the Charles Koch Foundation. 

It's an unusual pairing: BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith has a reputation for liberal bias (he recently blamed "the right" for conditions of Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic) will be the moderator; Charles Koch, founder of the libertarian CATO Institute, is one of the people most reviled by the left. 

The goal of the event is described as follows:

[W]e believe one of the best ways to turn conversations into solutions is through the challenge of assumptions and exchange of ideas. Our event on immigration aims to do just that by bringing together a diversity of opinions for a thoughtful dialogue.

At first glance, the panel appears diverse: the six invitees include a Democrat politician, a Republican politician, two members of conservative organizations, one from a liberal Hispanic/Latino organization, and one from a libertarian think tank.

Looking closer, however, five of the invitees are strongly in favor of the comprehensive immigration reform/amnesty package being put forward by the "Gang of Eight" in Congress. Only one 

 guest--from The Heritage Foundation--has been critical of the proposed immigration reform package. Additionally, an illegal immigrant who is an award-winning journalist will be assisting in broadcasting the event. 

Here's the lineup:

Clarissa Martinez, Director of Immigration & National Campaigns at National Council of La Raza: NCLR has been funded by George Soros's Open Society Foundation, describes itself as "the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States," and has been a major supporter of the current immigration reform bill. La Raza and Ms. Martinez were directly involved in a controversial memo that granted de facto amnesty by changing ICE policy in 2012. Ironically, La Raza joined with the NAACP and other institutional left to protest in front of the Koch Industries offices months ago, accusing the Kochs of savaging democracy.
