Without Immigrant Voters, America Has Not Elected a Democrat President Since 1964

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, alternatively known as the Hart-Celler Act, opened America’s borders to the world, and forever changed the rules of political engagement in this nation. No longer was politics fought along primarily ideological (Right versus Left) or historical (North versus South) lines; instead, mass immigration made it exceedingly profitable to play the game of identity politics. By catering to the disparate group identities of new immigrants, the Democrats realized they could lock-up a potentially infinite source of voters.

And while it’s true that America’s political culture has always, to some degree, been mired in issues of identity due mainly to slavery’s legacy, it is also true that by 1965 the exploitation of black-white tensions was not a “growth market”—especially considering that the Democrats were on the losing side of the Civil Rights Movement. They needed a fresh source of reliable voters, and they created one.

Since 1965, more than 45 million people have immigrated to the United States, and America’s immigrant population is now at an all-time high. Obviously, immigration has added significant numbers of new voters, but perhaps less obvious is the fact that America’s immigrant population votes Democrat by an extraordinary margin.

According to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, immigrants vote Democrat by a ratio of at least 2-to-1, and this gap is widening. This data is supported by a study from Pew Research, which finds that non-white Americans vote Democrat by a roughly 3-to-1 ratio. This is important only insofar as the vast majority of immigrants since the 1965 reforms are not white, and therefore there is significant overlap between the datasets—they prove the same point.

Not only do immigrants vote left, so do their children—and their children’s children. As it turns out, political affiliation is highly heritable, as Jonathan Haidt notes in The Righteous Mind. Of course, this is not to say that politics is genetic, but only that the beliefs and values that underpin a person’s political opinions are shaped by their upbringing.

Politics, like many bad habits, runs in the family.

Whites not reproducing is not the reason 45 million immigrants have been allowed in since 1965. That is the result of political decisions brought about by the supporters of one party wanting more voters and of the other wanting more cheaper labor, as well as other, lesser reasons.

One thing the Mexican Constitution has that we should consider doing.Mexico has no hyphenated Mexicans. They prohibit any reference to race when they conduct a census or issue any means of identification, Where a physical description is needed skin color yes but not by race or nationality or tribal background.By doing this Mexico has avoided “balkanizing”, creating fractional disputes in areas where a given group in one of its states is a majority or a minority.Plus it could shut this political playing on racial division down

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CITIZENS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
WHO ENTER US ILLEGALLY GRANT THEM RIGHTS
THAT THEIR COUNTRY DENY US HAVING
WHEN WE ENTER THEIRS LEGALLY TO VISIT OR RETIRE ???

Besides American citizens being unable to vote one must also be a Mexican citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship. Because of that a US citizen besides not being able to vote,and cannot have title in their name to any land property in Mexico. And until that is changed the US and the affected state should consider making that reciprocal. Prohibiting any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership prviledges fully enforced ..
In other words Sneak into this country before expulsion no job no voting no landowning.

“”The overwhelming majority of legal immigrants vote democrat. That’s what the 1965 act did when it said most immigrants shall come from the third world or be non white. It needs to be overturned.”

Neh Yawkers, Haitians,and all that stuff coming in each and every day via TayHass alone will change Flori-DUH? to blue and that alone may seal all our futures ...

Democrats were on the losing side of the Civil Rights Movement

so they imported voters who had no clue what the CRM was, just like the Dems now want to import those who have no clue what American identity is

That’s true that “many” legal immigrants do t vote Democrat. It’s also true that the vast majority of voting legal immigrants do vote Democrat.

Anything less than a 50/50 split is a net gain for Democrats. And the immigrant preference for Democrats is way greater than 50/50.

Mass immigration is a net Democrat importing policy. There is no way around that.

The Hart-Celler Act did reignite mass immigration and start the mass legal influx of new Democrats, but it was just the first piece, albeit the biggest as it kicked off chain migration from the third world.

Adding to the influx of future Democrats was the Refugee Act passed in the early 1980s, and the Immigration Act of 1990. The latter created the absurd Diversity Lottery visas, the H1B visas, and expanded chain migration.

The last time good immigration reform had a decent chance at passage was in 1996 with the Smith-Simpson bill, which would have largely undone the 1990 Act, though left the other components of mass immigration in place. But even that moderate legislation was too much for Republican proponents of mass immigration like Dick Armey, Sam Brownback, Spence Abraham, and a staffer named Paul Ryan. They successfully torpedoed the bill allowing Clinton off the hook of signing or vetoing it.
