He is 100% correct when he says there has to be a reason. I do not agree with his hypothesis though.
I would argue that it probably boils down to money. I don't have time to go into depth but when it comes to politics, doesn't it always come down to money?
You would be correct sir.
I tend to think it's votes on the D side of the aisle and money on the R side. I don't think it's some grand conspiracy involving both parties getting together in some smokey room and coming up with some plan. Both sides have their reasons for wanting to keep the floodgates open.
For an "original thought", his explanation is something of a no brainer. Having an uneducated electorate is certainly a part of how the govt gets away with pulling the wool over our eyes. But there is a much more effective MO they use. They simply ignore us. They suffer no political ramifications from what they do and so they just keep on doing it. It is our (the citizenry)unwillingness to hold them accountable that is the top reason they get away with all the crap they pull.
That being said, we have little power against the money that is spent on presidential campaigns. We have little choice. It's the guy the RAT machine puts up, or the guy the FGOP puts up. a DINO or a RINO.
I agree that's part of it. The question is whose money? The businesses who employ illegals and make campaign contributions? Or the Americans who have to pay illegals' way for health care, schooling and all the rest?
But I also believe Boortz oversimplifies. For example, there is the problem of electoral demographics. The GOP has no chance of capturing more than 15% of the black vote or 20% of the jewish vote (and campaign contributions). But they have a very good chance of winning a clear majority of the rapidly expanding hispanic vote. Understandably, the GOP is averse to doing anything that might alienate this group.
And I believe there are other considerations such as NAFTA, the stability of Mexico, southern hemisphere petroleum, etc.
