Just follow the money; republicans (and to some extent democrats as well) are addicted to the cheap labor that these people bring. Never mind that it lowers wages for ALL American workers, and the country be damned!
I never thought I would see the day that republicans sell us out just as blatantly as the treasonous democrats, but it appears that that day is here.
Having said all that, however, I will NEVER vote for a third-party candidate, much less a democrat. That's how we got der schlickmeister. Therefore, the republicans know they have us just where they want us. Where can we go?
You can go down to defeat if you like...For me? I'll vote conservative...Hopefully, within the party, but I will vote conservative regardless...
Have to get rid of that mentality that some are not electable...Everyone is electable if people will vote for them...Vote for the Conservative...
Go to the Conservative Party. Literally quit the Republican Party and re-register as a Conservative. You are still free to vote Republican and indeed, in most elections, the candidate will have the endorsement of both parties. In my experience, however, a strong conservative party will move the Republican Party to the right if only so that the Republican candidate retains the Conservative endorsement.
Also, do not give money to the Republican Party or its numerous PACs at the national, state, or local level. Either contribute financial support directly to the candidate or donate to the Conservative Party. (While your local Republican Party has no control over national immigration policy, you can bet that the National Republican leadership will get an earfull if people stop funding the local party because of the immigration issue.)
In addition, in many states, a party's ballot line is determined by the number of votes the party received in the last govenor's election. Every party obviously wants ot be on the top line, and certainly no worse than second. If enough people vote for the Conservative candidate, even if he or she is also the Republican candidate, then the Conservative Party would appear above the Republican line of the ballot and that would send a very strong message.
