Deporters-In-Chief: GOP Will Lose the 2016 Election
The Huffington Post's The Blog ^ | March 21, 2015 | Fernando Espuelas, Univision America Host

Sure, Republicans are playing to their base by calling for mass deportations. The years-long campaign to convince a segment of Americans that undocumented immigrants are the biggest threat to the country has had its intended effect. Witness the spectacular GOP victory in the midterms, where about one-third of the electorate voted and Republicans won a majority to sweep Congress and statehouses across the country.

So no surprise that almost four months into the Republican takeover of Congress, more time has been spent on immigration -- specifically, trying to reverse President Obama's executive actions shielding 5 million immigrants from deportation -- than almost anything else.

Once your party's platform is nothing more than a projection of atavistic fears, you can't suddenly turn it off.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill fiasco, with its non sequitur attempt to abolish Obama's immigration executive actions, was yet another black eye on the Party of Lincoln. It showed its obsessional focus on the narrative that only the GOP can "take the country back," as those famous anti-Obama posters proclaimed in the 2010 midterms.

And take it back to where? Well, that's not at all clear, as Republicans have yet to propose a positive agenda for America....

So again, is Ted Cruz not Hispanic? Is he a White Hispanic, a term coined 3 years ago?

That's because the plan all along was to have those 30-million "unaccompanied children" voting.

What the Hell is this guy smoking? No Republican is calling for mass deportations. Most other than Senators Sessions and Cruz aren't even calling for simple border security.

Typical liberal reverse psychology.

“So again, is Ted Cruz not Hispanic?”

In the eyes of latinos of Mexican descent Cubans may as well be anglos. They don’t have the idea that all latinos are one, unless it’s to use against white Americans for political purposes.

Anyway, if the Republicans follow the advice of this La Razist from Huffington Post and continue to cater to illegal alien foreigners then the entire country will go the way of California, and much faster than you imagine. A refusal to deport illegals is equal to amnesty.

(from the article):" Once your party's platform is nothing more than a projection of atavistic fears, you can't suddenly turn it off."

Once you party's platform is nothing but criminal and illegal proedure , you can't turn it off . THE PEOPLE have a memory of how things used to be, and know righteousness.
Legal migrants who went through INS proceedures will continue to vote to maintain the United States principles and morality, and have acclimated.
Illegals who are here for "Gibsmedat™ will leave when the golden benefits expire, and we turn into the "Turd World" that they helped to create.

What about the DECADES long extreme leftist project to convince Americans that the law is a joke to be ignored whenever it is expedient and that we are a nation of arbitrary men, NOT laws? That has done manifold damage to the republic.

With 5-30 million new minted Democrat Citizens voting in November 2016 I suspect the republicans will lose Congress, the Presidency and most state legislatures.

“In the eyes of latinos of Mexican descent, Cubans may as well be anglos.”

The whitest whitebread honky cracker in all of Cuba is none other than Fidel Castro himself, who has always taken pride in his 100% white Spanish blood. He may have been a bastard son, but holy arroz con pollo, his birth parents were both white!

Enforcement is overwhelmingly popular with the citizens, not so much with the fraudulently documented foreigners.
This is more propaganda from The Ministry Of Propaganda to convince us to give up the rule of law and our country.

I will not vote for anyone unwilling to uphold the rule of law.
Period.
