Bloomberg is calling for immigration reform and he is doing it at the mayors US Chamber of Commerce event. The same Chamber of Commerce that is throwing campaign money at GOP establishment politicians to battle Tea Party candidates…go figure. That fact alone shows you what agenda these guys are pursuing. Don’t fall for the lies, this is all smoke and mirrors to keep the flow of cash running smoothly into Washington and eventually into their own pockets.

The following are Mike Bloomberg’s remarks as prepared for delivery at the Immigration Reform: Outlook 2014 event at the National Press Club.

The one thing, all kidding aside, that hasn’t changed and won’t: I’m going to keep pressing Washington to act on the issues that matter most when it comes to keeping America competitive, and America safe, and America strong, and few things matter as much as immigration. (Wrong dipshit, jobs and a thriving economy is what is important, immigration reform pales in comparison.)

I have said repeatedly, our current immigration laws are “national suicide” (Really? And how exactly is putting 12 million new people on the books good for us?)

Because I see industry after industry, company after company, school after school improving overseas, and if we don’t do something, we’re going to find ourselves someday on the backside of the curve, and it’s very hard to play catch up in this world. (Bullshit, prove it. Which countries are you referring too?)

 We all agree that we need stronger borders and better enforcement. (No shit Sherlock) But we also agree that turning away foreign-born innovators and entrepreneurs and the best and brightest immigrant students educated here – is about the worst economic policy anybody could possibly have. (So we have been turning away scientists and surgeons? Doubt it. The argument is over the immigrants that would land on our welfare system and in out prisons…not nuclear physicist you dumbass)

The good news is that at the state level people like Governor Snyder and our governor in New York understand that they have an obligation to do everything they can to urge Congress – because it is a federal law that needs to be passed (Really more federal law, they aren’t enforcing the immigration laws that we have in place now.)

It’s encouraging that Speaker Boehner and House Leadership will set up a set of principles for immigration reform that will be released soon. (Great, the GOP is getting on board, guess the Chamber of Commerce backing RINO’s removed whatever spines they had left.)

The principles they’ll lay out won’t satisfy everybody – as someone once said, Democracy is that we try to get to the middle and that everyone should walk away with something, and you never want to walk away with everything, because next time you won’t get anything. (Oh I see, give a little here, and get something in return, isn’t that what happened when Reagan negotiated amnesty? Washington promised future spending cuts after amnesty was passed, and remind me again what happened? Oh that’s right…NOTHING!)

Bloomberg is in bed with the GOP establishment and like minded Democrats because basically they have become one and the same. He is using his money to rattle sabers against Tea Party politicians and is looking for support from perceived GOP allies. Like I said kids….smoke and mirrors.
