I do not need to convince you of one thing, if you do not believe in enforcing the laws of this country maybe you should start trying to convince, Jim you should be here and not over at DU. Your whole statement from start to finish has been anecdotal, and you ask me to prove mine, now run along back to DU.
Look I'm not trying to get banned from FR. I've been here for 11 years and I think my conservative credentials are well established.
And I'm not trying to get into a fight. I'm not in favor of amnesty but the solutions people are offering to the problem are not just not real. 1.7 million Latinos in Los Angeles is not anecdotal. It's real. Go back 50 years and look at the numbers. Those people didn't just sign up for legal immigration status. They just walked across the border. They are nearly all illegal or the now legal sons, daughters and grandchildren of illegal immigrants. I don't think that is anecdotal.
There has been a huge change in the demographics of California and, in particular, Los Angeles. This is killing us in the electoral college. California is lost forever to the Republicans. If this spreads to Arizona, New Mexico (probably already lost), Colorado and Nevada the GOP is in big trouble. If it spreads to Texas then we are, in all likelihood looking at an indefinite string of Obama's sitting in the White House.
I don't want that to happen. I fight that like the plague.
So I'm looking for real plans that really work to reduce the Dem voting population of Latinos because if we don't we are dead as a viable party. That is the Dem plan and it is working. We need a way out.
