100% of American on welfare vote democrat.
I will take the 90% over 100%.
I was a democrat in my early 20’s as an immigrant, adored JFK and liked LBJ over Goldwater who said “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.” How dumb was that politically?
I voted republican at age 32 when I was eligible to vote, and voted republican in next 12 presidential elections. 2020 will be my 13th republican presidential vote. My cousin’s son ran for congress as a republican. He was born in US but his dad immigrated here.
Democrats win over new immigrants by presenting an aura of “inclusivity”. Republican do a poor job of explaining why their party is better suited if you area a hard working and ambitious immigrant and not one here to collect welfare checks. I figured that out myself.
Absolutely and I've been saying it for years. I cannot STAND the standard canned "conservative" response about how we love immigration as long as it's "legal". Well, what's legal? Stroke of the pen, law of the land? This is not 1890. We don't need millions of laborers. It is far past time we start picking and choosing who brings something of value to US, not just what we hand over to THEM!
If legal immigrants were voting Republican in the 90% range then all immigration would be halted and stopped.
Try running for office on a no-immigration platform.
See how far you get “expressing what most people are to afraid to express”.
That shows how out of touch with main street America most GOPers really are.
Slashing LEGAL immigration would be WILDLY popular. Most workers realize the only point to LEGAL immigration is to collect Democrat voters and to reduce the prevailing wages of all workers. There is no other point to it. LEGAL immigration is a BURDEN that the middle class is forced to carry for the virtue signalers of the world
“Slashing LEGAL immigration would be WILDLY popular.”
I hope you are right, but I think it is wishful thinking.
You are assuming most people have common sense - but they don’t.
Most people understand and see what LEGAL immigration does to society and wages. It is the “gated” community virtue signalers that get the cheap labor and the fun of well, being so “virtuous”.
If “most people“ understood that legal immigration is bad for them, then it would have ended a long time ago.
The truth is that most people DO NOT understand - the cheap labor lobby has used the fake news to brainwash them.
Nobody who promises to stop immigration can get elected, because too many of the voters have been brainwashed.
The Deep State does this to us and we the people hate it. They are out of control. It was the whole point of electing Trump.
Nobody who promises to stop immigration
Nobody but Trump made that promise!!! The rest are deep state actors.
“The Deep State does this to us and we the people hate it.”
Well, if we the people hate it, this is our big chance to prove it by giving President Trump a landslide, and big coattails.
He can’t drain the swamp if he’s always on the verge of being impeached.
Wow, my Canadia stepmom, two stepsisters and Honduran brother-in-law got here just in time......
Wow, maybe they can go back?
Why should they, they’re citizens now you bigoted hick
TI guess you are not familiar with our current immigration system.
All most all new immigrants are sponsored by a relative. There are no minimum qualifications required with respect to skills, wealth or basic education. So we are importing basically people who immediately need welfare. So like their American counter-parts who depend on welfare, the new immigrants vote democrat. My own relative sponsored a senior parent, who needed immediate welfare and received it. After a short waiting period, the senior immigrant began receiving $800 monthly checks from Social Security, without ever having paid a dime in taxes.
What is really odd, is that the sponsoring relative has no responsibility to support the immigrant. None, zip, nada.
PDJT has the right idea of changing the system to merit based only system.
My own immigrant status was based on my employer sponsorship based on my advanced engineering degrees and research in the field my employer business was operating. The relative based system came later.
