NY Times: ‘Tidal Wave’ of Mass Immigration Hands Virginia to Democrats
Breitbart ^ | 11/10/19 | John Binder

Posted on 11/10/2019 5:45:23 PM PST by david1292

A “tidal wave” of mass immigration has “tilt(ed) the field toward the Democrats” in the state of Virginia, the New York Times admits.

Last week, Democrats took control of Virginia’s House of Delegates and the State Senate. Now, the Democrats hold power over the state’s legislature, the governor’s seat and the lieutenant governor’s seat — the first time since 1993 that this has occurred.

The New York Times now admits that four to five decades of mass immigration — where about 1.2 million legal immigrants are admitted to the United States every year — has shifted Virginia into a blue state:

Not long ago, this rolling green stretch of Northern Virginia was farmland. Most people who could vote had grown up here. And when they did, they usually chose Republicans. [Emphasis added]

The fields of Loudoun County are disappearing. In their place is row upon row of cookie-cutter townhouses, clipped lawns and cul-de-sacs — a suburban landscape for as far as the eye can see. Unlike three decades ago, the residents are often from other places, like India and Korea. And when they vote, it is often for Democrats. [Emphasis added]

“It’s a totally different world,” said Charles Poland, 85, a retired history professor whose family has lived in Loudoun County for four generations. His family farm is now dotted with subdivisions filled with four and five-bedroom homes that sell for $750,000. The family legacy is a road named Poland. “If my parents came back today, they wouldn’t recognize the place. The changes came like a tidal wave.” [Emphasis added]

To say nothing of the fact that compared to the governments of Mumbai, Seoul, and Guangzhou, even a place like NYC is comparatively low tax, small business friendly, and less corrupt.

I don’t see how the Right can survive. Even if every illegal were deported tomorrow, the legal immigrants (and their kids) who vote (whether from India, China, Colombia, or Egypt) will gravitate to the larger metros and continue to be mostly Dems. Meanwhile, third and second tier metros, to say nothing of rural areas, are stagnant or dying. Meanwhile, white suburbanites, and especially white suburban women, are not buying what is being sold.

Florida is being helped for now by all the boomers moving from other states, but that generation didn’t exactly replace itself well.

“Sesame Street” You are correct - I never allowed my (now adult) children to watch it, ever. None of them are liberals, either (4 daughters)

What do you propose?

I propose a cell within FR or smart dudes and dudettes to research and advocate across all conservative lines of operations, to fast track and make this as THE PRIORITY for the next election cycle and beyond.

We will ask for a special thread to be created; and it trickles into the state pages.

Thoughts?

Sounds good. How does one create a special thread? (I am not technical).

We ask Jim Rob to create it. Who within FR do we ask to join initially?

I am not sure how it works - do we create our own ping list?

Here is what I found.... we spent mega $ to send our two oldest to private Christian schools. All I can say is that they and most of their friends from those schools are not walking with the Lord.

We did homeschool our youngest, and while he did stray (voted for the Beast in 2016, but our state went red) has realized while at a major state university what adulting is all about and has turned considerably conservative.

IOW, be wary of public and private schools. Children learn best in the home. We so wish we had home-schooled our oldest two children.
