Add in the self-declared sanctuary city of New Haven along with Bridgeport and Hartford and the number would be well over 300,000. I haven't a clue what the total really is but it certainly is not fewer that 85,000. Do they just pull these numbers out of a hat?
I got the img from milleniumark.com, but it was used rather widely back in the 06 amnesty battle...
The estimates look really low.
I think they are too. I think it was based on the 12m numbers they were using in 06, which are pretty well discredited. I tend to favor 20m for the lowest figure... But even so,I think the visual is important, as it clearly demonstrates that the Republican "Southern Strategy" will become a thing of the past- Conservative strongholds like Texas and Georgia will be overwhelmed, and leaners like Florida and Colorado will be forever lost.
Can Republicans win WITHOUT Texas and Florida, not to mention the others that would become lost or questionable? Why, then, are Republicans pushing so hard for this amnesty, which is certain to cause their party to forever be removed from power? Why are Republicans guaranteeing socialism for our children?
If you can give me a truthful and logical reason for this path the Republican leadership is on, it might just cause me to support the Republican ticket, though I doubt either of those two things will happen.
