A remarkable transformation is underway in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The birthplace and final resting place of George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jeffersonand once one of the most reliably-red of red statesis being rapidly turned into a progressive stronghold.
These changes are not the result of an inside agency, or a natural evolution in political thinking, but rather the result of one of the most impactful yet least-discussed policies of the federal government.
Each year the federal government prints millions of visas and distributes these admission tickets to the poorest and least-developed nations in the world.
A middle-aged person living in parts of Virginia today will have witnessed more demographic change in the span of her life than many societies have experienced in millennia.
A census study entitled Immigrants in Virginia, released by University of Virginia (UVA) researchers, documented the phenomenon: Until 1970, only 1 in 100 Virginians was born outside of the United States; by 2012, 1 in every 9 Virginians is foreign-born.
Fairfax Connection, a community newspaper, offered more detail:
In the span of one generation, Fairfax County has seen an explosion in its immigrant population. In 1970, more than 93 percent of Fairfax Countys population was white and middle-class. In the fall of 1970, a white 6-year-old child beginning elementary school in one of the countys developing towns
could look to his left, or look to his right, and see a classroom full of children who, at least 90 percent of the time, looked like him and who spoke English. By 2010, a child entering elementary school in Fairfax County would almost certainly encounter a classmate who did not speak English as a primary language, and whose parents or grandparents immigrated from places such as Vietnam, India, Korea or a country in Africa.

I think that’s most towns in California now. The town I grew up in is now 99% Mexcan, a huge majority of them illegal.
I hate to correct a fellow FRepper, but the GOPe are enthusiastic accomplices in massive immigration.
They have colluded.
Teddy K spawned this crap.
It’s your GOP who has funded this. They are worse than the democrats—at least the democrats are open about their true colors.
GOP delenda est.
Mass ILLEGAL immigration, facilitated by Obama.
All according to plan.
The Presidency has been sacked. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
He got a lot of help from Republicans.
Yes indeed. The Uniparty must be destroyed. The institutions they have erected in our government must also be destroyed.
Too bad, in ways we are worse off than England; demographics in a lot of places.

This started back when W. was prez and the authorities started looking the other direction. At least that was when it accelerated and turned into an avalanche. Now the whole damn country looks the other way with a wink and a nod.
Are you giving up?
Pat Buchanan wrote “Suicide of a Superpower” 10 years ago or so.
The other major contributor to this shift in political leanings is the large number of left wing, liberal, pinko, Commie Democrats who previously resided in Maryland and were/are employed as “hard working” government employees in the greater Washington,D.C. area. They became disenchanted with the taxes, corruption and mismanagement of the proud State of Maryland (which they themselves helped to create), a situation that cannot easily be corrected (even if they wanted to). So, what is the solution? They moved/are moving in droves from Maryland to the Northern Virginia suburbs as a method of escaping the mess in Maryland. They still maintain convenient access to their D.C. area jobs. The problem is that they bring along their hosed up political mindsets and are imposing them on Virginia politics. Stand by as Virginia becomes a mirror image of Maryland!
That’s right, Virginny is known for having government workers.
I hope there is something to keep them from getting voting rights, I see that in a few places. Bad enough they are here, don’t let them become citizens.
This is how this robe wearing muslim oblongo was elected. Perhaps if Trump/Cruz can win, less illegals (who become democrat voters) will be able to arrive here. And if Trump/Cruz are elected then perhaps he and a Republican Senate and House can start sending back millions of illegals that are hiding here in the states. And when they are sent back, they have take all their anchor babies with them.
Bush also brought in thousands of Iraqi refugees, courtesy of his blunder in the Middle East.
Yep.
