“What Democrats Really Need is a Massive Resettlement Program.”
FrontPage Mag ^ | 12/12/2014 | Daniel Greenfield

I believe they call that amnesty.

Today I chatted with David Wasserman, who closely tracks House districts for the Cook Political Report.

Wasserman recently wrote that due to population shifts and redistricting that have resulted in huge concentrations of Democratic votes in Dem districts — wasting a lot of those votes — Democrats can now expect that the percentage of seats they win will consistently trail their victory in the overall popular vote by about four percentage points.

Even if Democrats were to get something approaching neutral maps in these big states, Wasserman estimates, it could result in just a couple more seats in each state — adding up to a total of maybe 10 additional House seats for Democrats. That would obviously help, but it would still be short of the 30-seat edge Republicans currently hold. Democrats would still have to post pretty big victories in the next few cycles to get close to the majority. In short, beyond the problem of redistricting is the even more serious problem (for Democrats) of population distribution.

“If Democrats were to get neutral maps drawn by God in all 50 states, they would still fall well short of winning back the House,” Wasserman concludes. “What Democrats really need is a massive resettlement program.”

If only there were some sort of program that could “resettle” likely Democratic voters in America. Say a refugee program. And maybe tie that in with open borders and assorted incentives and it looks a whole lot like a resettlement program.

And now you know the rest of the story.

Republicans are just stupid enough to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

The Democrats are counting on it.

What Democrats REALLY need is a massive bowel movement because they are so full of sh*t.

They have a precedent. They can learn from the Tsars marching the peasants out of their home....

You could kick the sh*t out of them and then bury the whole lot in a shoebox.

Sounds like more of the The Curley Effect: Using Redistributive Politics to Shape a Left-Wing Electorate.

Not only immigration. HUD is planning to force low-income housing into upscale suburbs.

That's what the children invasion was all about this past summer. It was the test, the vanguard. It's just the beginning. The dems are commie criminals, they won't stop unless and until a jackboot is put on their collective necks.

Do you really want Democrats to spread out even more across America? They’ve already ruined the northeast, the left coast, and parts of the midwest. They’re doing their best to ruin traditional GOP states like Virginia, North Carolina, and Colorado. Keep the Democrat vermin contained to where they’re at. Too many wonderful areas of this country that would be ruined if the Dems got their hooks into them. You Freepers out in California know how great a state it was before the Democrats took it over and made a colossal mess of it.

Sadly, it’s been successful for the politicians, if not for the people.

What the red states really need is secession. If the Palestinians deserve a state, then so do the occupied territories of non-Democrat America.

Here in the People's Republic of New Jersey, they've been trying to accomplish that type of social engineering for decades. But the way it was intended is not the way it's worked out. "Poor" (as defined as low income) people who want to live in wealthy areas generally aren't the same kind of "poor" people as the "poor" people who live in Newark, Camden and Trenton. In the United States, in 2014, "poverty" doesn't have much, if anything, to do with money.

From the title of the article, I thought they were talking about Comprehensive Immigration Reform again.

Basically the same thing.

But if 'Rats dared to venture out into the hinterlands the potential for their greatest fears to be realized of the natives going Straw Dogs or Deliverance on them would be too stressful to live with.
