>"You support/advocate policies that drive the illegals and hispanics into the open arms of the dems/unions/lefties. By doing this you fulfill your prophesy that they will vote democratic."<
- I see...so my opposing various social benefits for illegal aliens, will drive them to "vote democratic".
Never mind that illegal aliens aren't *entitled* to vote:
Following your logic, if I supported/advocated socialist policies like the Democratic party does, then this voting block of illegals would instead vote Republican?
Very interesting thought process you have, Ben.
The defining issue is not that social benefits might be denied, it is turning them all into felons. Including the Irish barmaid.
It goes beyond that. The far right has successfully run a well organized campaign to turn public opinion against the illegal Mexicans. They have relied on dehumanizing the mexicans by calling them all criminals and using phrases like "turd world cesspool"
This has rubbed of on legal mexicans and native born as well as immigrants from other nations who have joined the protests.
Today's hispanic high school kids in Florida, if they become politically active, will have a significant effect, in 2012, on which presidential candidate carries that state and the nation. Not the mention Florida's congressional delegation.
