Congress is trying to fool you.
Here�s how they do business. A piece of legislation is going to cost
trillions of dollars, but Members of Congress don�t want the public to
see that. Instead, they have the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) look
at the bill for just the first 10 years�and they move any costly items
off into the future on purpose.
They did it with Obamacare�saved the budget bombshells for later. Now
they�re trying to do it with immigration.
Yesterday, the CBO released its score of the Gang of Eight�s immigration
bill. Heritage experts are still analyzing the full report, but a few
things jumped out immediately. The Gang of Eight bill:
** WILL NOT stop illegal immigration � Despite promises of a secure
border, the bill would slow future illegal immigration by only 25
percent, according to the CBO. In the next couple of decades, that means
7.5 million new illegal immigrants.
** WILL drive down wages � For legal American workers, the CBO estimates
the bill would drive down their average wages.
The bill will burden taxpayers with trillions of dollars in welfare and
entitlement costs for the newly legalized immigrants under amnesty.

Leftus Ignoramus is the product of several malodorous confluences.
First, the left has strived mightily to dumb down ordinary Americans.
And it has succeeded: half of all Americans between age 18 and 34 cannot
find Texas on a map of American states. (Bruce Walker)
