If we want to revive the economy, we need to ban immigration, send foreigners home
Absolutely wrong, and can be shown by studies. See multiple threads on this. This talking point needs to be buried.
stop importing things that we should be making ourselves (espically cars
This is silly and not even a good talking point. The US is where European and Asian carmakers outsource their manufacturing. A large percentage of cars driven in the US are made in the US, and we export some too.

Importing millions of cars while exporting maybe a thousand is not a good economic plan. The mantra "they build them here now" doesn't work when they only make small % of their total here".
I.E. - find an Infiniti or Scion that's made in USA. I think there is one Mitsubishi that's made in USA, and only one Mazda car that's a rebadged Ford as well. Plus almost all the design work, plus engine and transmission manufacturing is done in Japan, how does that help us??

If this Jobs Bill doesn't pass.. or atleast the parts that keep Payroll taxes from rising...
All the democrats have to run on come election time is this...
Take out your pay stubs middle class americans! Now compare your paystub from Jan 2012 to December 2011!
We wanted that paycheck to increase in 2012.. not decrease... but Republicans decided to tax you the middle class instead of the top 1%.
It would guarantee a democratic victory.
A funny thing about cutting payroll taxes during a recession/depression.. You can't raise them again until we are out of it... People notice when they have $50-$100 less per paycheck...
