In that whole huge diatribe, which is hogwash,,guess how many times the word “illegal” is used?

The download pdf is 11 pages long, counting citations.

The word “illegal is used”.....twice.

Here’s where:

“Second, the partisan impact of immigration is relatively uniform throughout the country— from California to Texas to Florida — even though local Republican parties have taken different positions on illegal immigration. The decline does not seem to vary with the local Republican Party’s position on illegal immigration. “

That’s it.

Partisan impact of immigration? (author’s words)

Are you actually denying that massive legal immigration has hurt Republicans politically?

I live in an area with high levels of legal immigrants. Overwhelmingly, these people and their US born children are liberals who vote Democratic. The same thing was true 100 years ago.

Mere documentation doesn't equate to assimilation and the adopting of traditional American values. Read the words of President Coolidge, above. Not all legal immigrants will become Patriots.

And, of course, for the illegals, I personally want nothing less than Operation Wetback version 2.0, using the latest technological innovations that have arisen since the 1950s to enact a massive program of mass deportation. America must remain American!

You seem to have missed the point. It is LEGAL IMMIGRATION that is destroying the GOP and the country. LEGAL IMMIGRANTS CAN VOTE LEGALLY ONCE THEY GET LEGAL CITIZENSHIP.
