What many posters do not understand is the simple fact, that if millions of illegals are allowed to keep streaming across the southern border, and allowed to remain, they will eventually become eligible to vote.
Experience clearly shows that the under-educated immigrants vote 80%+ LIBERAL democrat to receive more freebies from government. When 30 million illegals become eligible to vote, ABORTION ON DEMAND will become the norm for next 100 years. But some people are so consumed with knee jerk reactions, they do not understand the long term strategic deleterious effect of illegal immigration. It is best to ignore them.
Freerepublic is pretty unanimous about illegal immigration, and many of us are savvy about the same effect that legal immigration has, which merely means that the democrats get them voting quicker.
But we also remain anti-abortion, and against guns being banned, and voting for democrats, who only left that party 6 years ago.
Experience since the 1965 Immigration Act shows that legal immigrants vote democrat and for more freebies from the government.
