You can't be that dense. Immigration affects our electoral politics. It has changed the demographics of our country since the 1965 Immigration Act. I provided you with Professor Gimpel's recent study on how immigration has changed the electoral politics in America's 50 largest counties.
I said that I have been walking the walk on immigration since the 1960s, not that I was older than you, you do see the difference don't you? I was also correct, you are to the left of me on immigration. End all immigration, evidently you support bringing in more than a million foreigners a year into our crowded, shattered communities, I don't, we filled up about 1970 as far as I'm concerned, and frankly I wouldn't mind going back much farther.
I am a immigration activist who lobbies on the Hill and in Richmond. We are currently trying to pass an e-verify law in VA. I spend full time on the issue without pay. All you do is talk about the issue. I am doing something about it. One of major problems in the GOP is that there are misguided people like you who believe that we can make a significant dent in the pro-Democrat Hispanic vote. It isn't going to happen. We are building another permanent underclass that is poorly educated, has high out of wedlock birth rates, and is very dependent upon government welfare payments. Our efforts are better spent at reducing the flow of immigration rather than trying to play identity politics.
Re the idea that I support bringing in 1 million legal immigrants a year is pure nonsense. Stop pulling this stuff out of your butt. You must have a reading comprehension problem.
By the way Protestant Hispanics voted for Bush at 56% in 2004, white women only voted 55% Republican that year. You cannot compare a group (pros. hispanics) that is close to 50/50 Republican voters with blacks, but you can win them to a more consistent support of social conservatism and free enterprise. I'm also interested in figuring out a way to win 40% of the Jewish vote and 20 or 25% of the black vote and increasing the female support for conservatism too.
The problem with your flawed theory is that most of the minority groups don't vote on social conservative issues. They vote based on their pocketbooks and what the government can provide them. We have 60 million people on Medicaid in this country. 36 million Americans are on food stamps. You are laboring under the phony assumption that if Hispanics and other minorities just understood what the GOP stood for, they would stop voting for the Dems. It is not going to happen. And we continue to replenish Dem voters with our immigration policies that bring in 1.2 million LEGAL IMMIGRANTS a year, 87% of whom are minorities as classified by the USG. Immigrants and minorities vote Democrat. Demography is destiny.
What is idiotic about your posts is that you just keep blazing ahead with an entirely different topic as though I am arguing with you about it.
Hey Idiot, I am against all immigration, legal and illegal, I am not defending immigration, get it?
Hey Idiot, I have been against all immigration legal and illegal since the 1965 Immigration act passed 45 years ago! Get it?
I wasn’t pro immigration or even indifferent to immigration 10 years ago or 20 years ago or 30 years ago or 40 years ago, I have been against all immigration for 45 years and I was taking a strong financial stand against illegals 45 years ago.
Not only do you seem to be some kind of nut that can’t read my posts, you also sound kind of Johnny come lately to the issue, whereas I was there for 45 years.
In the meantime you have totally wasted my time since you just want to post a bunch of information about immigration to me rather than about the thread topic and my interest in it, why not pick out someone that is soft on immigration or pro immigration to spam with your stuff, why pick the most anti immigration guy on the thread and then pretend that he is arguing with you about immigration laws and effects, are you whacked out?
