More Asian than Hispanic immigrants: political implications?
The Christian Science Monitor ^ | September 28, 2015 | Story Hinckley

Posted on 09/29/2015 4:33:27 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

By 2065, Asians will surpass Hispanics as the largest group of new immigrants entering the US. Asians will increase from 26 percent of the immigrant population to 38 percent, and Hispanics will decrease from 47 to 31 percent, according Pew Research Center released a report released Monday.

Asians currently account for 6 percent of the total US population, but this will increase to 14 percent by 2065, experts say.

Pew study suggests that in the past 50 years since the Immigration and Nationality Act was passed, almost 59 million immigrants have moved to the US, pushing the total foreign-born population up to a record 14 percent.

I think it’s an anti-Christian thing and perception the Republican party is associated with Christianity. Since very few Asians are Christians.

Implications? Higher US math scores, increased overall danger on grocery store parking lots.

Two points.

1.) Immigration happens in waves and the immigration from Latin America peaked years ago. It should continue to decline, especially if economic problems continue in the U.S.

2.) Asia is a huge continent and Asian can mean many things. If it means the Far East, I’m not hugely concerned. But if it’s the Middle East, we all know what that means.

What if “Asian” means Middle Eastern?

Blood is thicker than water. Dunno about the first generations, but the second, third etc buy into the politics of racial resentment almost as readily as do those in other minority ethnic groups.

Not all, of course, maybe not even a majority of asians, but a large percentage.

I'm afraid its just human nature.

Dems are also the ones screaming:

“If Universities admit students solely on merit, then ALL the Ivy League would be Asian..!!!”

Thus, an beat-boxing urban student with a 2.5 GPA gets into UC Berkeley (then flunks out), while some Chinese boy who really busted his as$ and played violin indoors every Friday night and never got laid end up having to go to Sac State.

YET HIS PARENTS VOTE FOR THESE IDIOTS.

Whhhhhhyyyyyyyyy......????

Democrat racial propaganda. The Republicans seem completely unaware of what is happening to their image among Asian immigrants and their American-born children. Asian immigrants are told that outside the major, liberal-controlled cities, America is a wasteland of KKK members in white pickup trucks, ready to beat Asians senseless or kill them with assault weapons.

When I lived in the Bay Area, I can't tell you how many Asian immigrants I worked with who were terrified to leave the urban areas for any reason. Even though they liked me, it was very hard to convince them that white rural areas were full of people like me. DNC propaganda is effective.

Also, Asian politics works on a hierarchical spoils system, so the Democrat modus operandi is familiar to them. Promise the community elders a few "Regional Democratic Party Co-Chair" seats and you've got them.

And you can't really make the argument to them that today's GOP is better for small business and entrepreneurship...because even I don't believe that. :)

The second generation is liberal. It's the same sort of thing that goes on with Jews. They don't identify with Republicans, who are thought of as too rural or old-fashioned and not with-it.

In the first generation there's some variation. Vietnamese tended to vote Republican, as did Chinese for a long time (the way Cubans did and for similar reasons).

With first-generation Indians and others the vote varies. From my experience, they tend to go with the party in power. Admittedly it's a small sample, but the people I know down the street were Republicans when Bush was in and are Democrats now.

All Asians vote Dem now. I don’t understand it either, anymore than I understand why Hispanics vote Dem.

However, when I lived in SF, which has a huge Asian population, I used to work at the polling places and I was stunned by what I saw.

The unions and other Dem party subsidiaries literally brought these people in busloads (most of them didn’t speak English) and then went into the voting booth with them as “translators” and voted a straight Dem ticket.

Hopefully the Asian population has gotten smarter, but I don’t think so. The children or grandchildren of those earlier voters are now fully American, but to them, that means being fully Democrat, because that’s how the Dems portray themselves.

We were all in shock the morning of 9/11. In the elevator at work an Asian woman said “I worried about my money”. I kid you not. Perhaps they know what country they’re in. Maybe. Otherwise, if it ain’t about money they don’t give a crap. Politics? HA! FORGET IT.

It’s a tribal thing. Minorities support the Dems more than two to one.

The Dems have portrayed the Republican party as the party of ‘evil racist white men’. So there you have the reason why Asians vote Democrat.

This is on point analysis. The problem with younger Asians (excluding Muslims) voting Democrat is that they predominately live in cities, where non-Democrats are tormented and harrassed. Coupled with peer pressure, these young Asians thus begin to see themselves more as lazy Millenials than they do as hardworking Asians, so they vote Democrat.

The Buddhist Asians are also from secularist backgrounds, which encourages Dem voting.
