Democrats Must Embrace Latinos and Immigration, Not Run Away
New York Times ^ | November 9, 2014 | by Gary Segura

Posted on 11/10/2014 3:33:10 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The president and his advisers bet against Latinos in this last election — and they lost. Whatever the claims to the contrary, the administration delayed executive action on immigration to protect Democratic Senate candidates in red states.

Latinos represent the fastest growing demographic in the electorate and the best opportunity Democrats have for building an overwhelming electoral coalition that could reliably defeat G.O.P. monetary and turnout advantages. But Democrats are not entitled to Latino votes. Like voters of all racial and ethnic groups, Latinos have the right to ask that candidates address their concerns directly.

Amnesty isn't about uniting families. Or jobs American's won't do. Or "people in the shadows". It's about "building an overwhelming electoral coalition that could reliably defeat the GOP."

NYT: Democrats Must Embrace Latinos and Immigration Reform.

A plus-perfect partnership---they got what it takes----since Democrats
and latinos are both toiling mightily to overthrow the US government.

====================================================

OBAMA's AMNESTY E/O---A US OCCUPIED BY THIRD WORLD MILITANTS "Once Congress approves an increase in immigration, we will demand more, said Rep. Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Chicago), a leading advocate of the immigration reform.

“The next day after we pass immigration reform, you know we’re not going to be satisfied, we’re going to come back,” he said. “We’re going to have a civil rights act, we’re going to have a voting rights act… Nobody is leaving this fight once we conclude this first chapter,” he said. “Hopefully, in 30 years, [we] can bring immigrants… from all over the world,” Gutierrez said.

Gutierrez is paid well as an agent of a foreign government-—conspiring and colluding w/ collaborators to overthrow the US govt....but Generalissimo Gutierrez plumb forgot to mention the militants are gathered at the Mexican border, lying-in-wait to wreak havoc.

A barrage of savages, brigands, barbarians and thieves is ready to foment a takeover; to soak taxpayers and cheat the US govt---wire transfers at the ready to drain US dollars into Third World hellholes----including US foreign aid, food stamp foreign aid, EITC SS, SSI, UI, welfare checks, etc, etc, etc.

The Third World is motivated by envy and greed.....an ancient formula going back to Greco/Roman times: targeting a powerful, thriving bountiful country; lusting after the country's power and riches; sending in its forces under various covert pretexts.

"G.O.P. monetary and turnout advantages"

What are they talking about? The Republican GOTV failed spectacularly in 2012. Then there is union money and money from the liberal superrich.

The "gray lady" must be gray because of the haze of all the marijuana smoke in the building.

“Latinos represent the fastest growing demographic in the electorate”

They are breeding like cockroaches and the people who
say they can’t afford to have children are the ones paying
the taxes that pay for those kids birth, health care and
education. And for what? So they can grow up and worship
people like Che Guevara.

Deport the wetbacks and prosecute the employers.

What a surprise! The NYT says since the GOP won, we must embrace socialism. If the Dems had won, they would take that as a sign we should embrace socialism. Since it is getting warmer, cooler, cloudier, less stormier, you name it, we should embrace socialism.

The NYT refuses to believe that the Democrats have a WHITE voter problem, particularly among White men. There are still a lot more White voters than minority voters, and that was why they lost big.

In spite of engineering congressional districts so that Blacks an Latinos can be elected, the vast number of districts are majority White. When the old 60s Leftists die off, this country will be more conservative than it is now. Young Whites who can’t afford to go to college to be brainwashed but have to work hard for their money will be conservatives.

Amnesty is about replacing the current electorate that has too many native born Americans and too many white Americans with a new one of Democrat voting legalized immigrants who are mostly Hispanic and “Asian”
Who voted in for Obama in 2012 by 70%

Of course such a change happens year by year, not all at once.

SUMMARY-—
The current electorate is “too white” for the Democrats

Whatever, but ‘enthusiasm’ was not the problem the Dems had with Hispanics here in Texas, their problem was getting them to vote Democrat.

Our most conservative statewide candidate, by a mile, Dan Patrick, wanted a Secure Border, opposed in-state college tuition for Illegals, supports Voter ID, opposes Amnesty, and is opposed to the Sanctuary Cities (i.e., places where the police won’t report felon-illegals to Immigration) and God knows what else. In short, Dan Patrick was a Republican consultant’s WORST NIGHTMARE in a state that now has nearly as many Hispanics as it does whites (most of those Republican consultants are gay, by the way).

On top of that, he was running against a well-respected Latina State Senator. So the Democrats got handed an EASY VICTORY in the race for Lt. Governor, arguably the most powerful position in Texas politics - the whites would give Dan a small majority, but Hispanics and blacks would give vote massively against him, and our first Latina Lt. Governor would take office in January - with a chastened Republican Party not knowing what hit them.

Oh, almost forgot to mention...Patrick won 46% of the Hispanic vote (better than any other statewide candidate). He won 75% of the white vote. Blacks, of course, came out against him, but there simply are not enough to change results here. Patrick won his race by 19 points. Hispanics had their chance to send a message on Immigration, and they did for sure in that race.

“The NYT refuses to believe that the Democrats have a WHITE voter problem, particularly among White men. There are still a lot more White voters than minority voters, and that was why they lost big.”

Well stated. In the South now, as in Texas, Republicans are winning the white vote 75/25, and nearly splitting the Hispanic vote. When the whites vote as a BLOCK, as they just did, any chance of a Democrat winning is over. The Dems better hope to hell this “white disease” (as they probably call it behind closed doors) doesn’t spread outside of the South. They better really hope...

“Since it is getting warmer, cooler, cloudier, less stormier, you name it, we should embrace socialism.”

All of those things are signs of “Climate Disruption™” indicating that we must immediately deindustrialize and cede our national sovreignty to the UN.

I wish the Democrats had embraced amnesty in the midterms. We would have ended up with enough seats in the Senate to convict after impeachment.

Hilarious. Obama has been promising amnesty by year end for months.

This brainstem's thesis is dead from its opening sentence.

They need to hide their true nature a bit longer, like true communists, until they are in complete control. When they are ensconced without fear of removal, they will unmask themselves.

The new world odor socialists have gotten US to give ourselves away and surrender our integrity and our nationality an election at a time.

Ted Cruz for President following the 2008 and 2012 elections, obamacare and soon-to-be amnesty for all shows a skilled hand pulling strings few can feel while they dance to the music being played.

Looking forward from the early 1980s, I would not have believed this would be our fundamentally transformed reality. Truly amazing.
